 Just come back from a short stay at this campsite. Its a working farm and the facilities are acceptable for the price though 1 shower wasn't really enough in the ladies and there were queues in the morning. There were 2 showers for the men and one morning my husband said there was a lady using one of them who had obviously got fed up waiting.
The campsite is in a rural setting surrounded by sheep but also in the centre of Bellingham which was pretty much perfect.
There is a larger field for non-ehu pitches which looked lovely but was quite a distance from the amenities. We were in the smaller ehu field nearer the toilets which to be honest felt cramped and claustrophobic. There were 2 groups of 3 families sharing the area which didn't help. One of the reasons I chose this campsite was because in the rules and regulations stated they didn't allow groups of more than 2 families.
If we were to return I would do it in the middle of summer when we didn't need electricity.

Visited Demesne again this week. Absolutely love the place. Bellingham is a beautiful place and the farm itself is perfect. Went by myself and my dog and had a thoroughly relaxing stay. Really nice walks along the river.
Ample shops in the village, 2 banks, 3 pubs and a chinese restaurant/take away. Garage sells everything, like Arkwright's shop.
Going to make an effort to get there more often.
Thanks again to the owners.
Paul.

We stayed for two nights with my grandson, we have been to this Farm site in the past and always enjoyed our stay. This time was no different. We have seen some big improvements to the site, and the grass for pitching your tent is the best we have seen in any campsite we have stayed. There is also an over flow pitch too, so it's always worth calling the farm if your looking for a place last minute too.
This is a working farm, kids and adults alike, will experience nature at it's best.
Showers and toilets are kept up to standard with regular cleaning.
The location is perfect as a base to visit other parts of Northumberland and Keilder water too. There are local shops, cafe and pubs serving food within walking distance so there is something for everyone.
If you enjoy a walk, then why not set off on a 1. 5 mile journey upto Hareshaw Linn and see the Waterfall. There are around seven bridges leading the way, crossing sides for spectacular views. The start of the walk is only over the road from Demesne Farm.

There was someone there to welcome us in the farm who told us where we had to pitch up, the site was quiet so we had quite a good choice. Very peaceful site, although the sheep bleated on a bit. Facilities were good and kept clean one shower, 3 toilets for the women, and I assume the same for the men. We visited the little village and went to a few of the pubs there, for a friendly drink. The only negative thing about this site which is not their fault, was the midges. This is our second year of camping and were new to this. My husband got bit approx 20 times on one leg and myself on my head. We were wearing midgey bracelets which obviously did not work, might try the spray the next time! This is a lovely small site and maybe we might re-visit but the midgeys might put us off.

Great little site, very nice owners who were always willing to help and explain the running of the farm.
Bellingham has a Cooperative shop, lovely Bakers with 3 pubs, we used the Cheviot a couple of times and the locals were friendly with fine real ales. You can use the Riverdale Hotels small pool, it's a short walk away £4 Adults £2 for kids.
You empty the waste into the main sewer (no Elsan)
And it is 50p for 6mins in the shower.
Well worth a visit, we will be calling there again.

A very enjoyable if rather wet weekend. Bellingham is a lovely friendly place to spend a weekend. Site owners very friendly and advised us to go to the Cheviot hotel. A very warm welcome from bar staff and locals plus a range of cracking real ales and scrumpy. We tried the restaurant out on Saturday and would recommend the fish and chips as they were delicious. Site was clean and less than 200m to village centre
We will definitely be back

When I first arrived on this site I thought no way am I going to enjoy this, how wrong was I, as soon as I got used to the smell of the farm animals I loved it. Nice and quiet and peaceful. Wasn't too struck on the toilets/showers but you get what you pay for. The local pubs are average but are dog friendly and a hop and a skip from the site. Hope the owners improve the toilets & showers in the future to make it a first class site.

This is my new favourite campsite. We stayed there this weekend and it was ace. Yes it's small, yes the toilets / shower / washup area are small and yes it is just 2 fields, but quite frankly that's just how it should be. We and 3 other families went for 2 nights and we loved it. 2 minutes walk into the village. Super little supermarket and local bakery. The walk to the waterfall really is a must.
The farmer was really helpful - he didn't get around to collecting our money until 24 hours after we had arrived.
We used the electricity and paid £17 per night for a family of 4.
If you're looking to get away for the weekend, park the car up and relax then head to Bellingham.
(but don't forget the midgy spray!)

This is the second time we have stayed on this site and another enjoyable experience it was. The site itself is a working farm so expect a few animals making the odd noise. Can get a bit waterlogged if it rains but not a real issue. Farmer and family very friendly and helpful. £18 per night which is a tad dear as you pay 50p for your shower so these are not included. The location is spot on, just behind the high street with some cracking little doggy friendly pubs. Do have a meal in the Cheviot hotel (spot on) and do have a walk up the little steam opposite the main gate up to the waterfall. Spot on

Great base for visits to Northumberland and in particular Kielder forest and water. Central to the village but very quiet away from the road, on a working farm so the only noise was from the cattle. 3 pubs within a couple of minutes walk offering a god range of food and drink, local amenities included 2 banks one with cashpoint, co-op, post office, butchers, greengrocers, cafe, bicycle shop, local garage/petrol station, and the most expensive Chinese take away I have ever been to along with a couple of other local shops.
The campsite itself was basic but clean and tidy. The toilet blocks were kept clean and stocked with toilet paper and soap. The ladies had 2 toilets and 1 shower operated with 50p for 6 minutes which was more than enough for 2 really. I did not have to queue but the site was quiet and I did get up very early, really need more than 1 shower and there is ample space for at least one more. The mens had 2 showers. I really think that 50p for a shower is excessive after paying £18 for a pitch and electric, I would much rather they put the site fees up by £1 and give 'free' showers, its a principle thing! Always hot water for the wash up sinks. Also 2 sockets in the block for a hairdryer etc.
No play area but lots of space for the kids to run around and the animals are there also for them to interact with.
The owners could not have been more helpful, even giving us an extension lead for our electric hookup and letting us keep our tent up till 4pm on the Sunday to let us go and visit Kielder without rushing to get the tent down. We would definitely return to this campsite.
