 This was the last of four campsites we stayed on during our trip this year and certainly deserves its excellent reviews.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming, the pitch large and immaculately kept. The facilities were modern, clean and tidy, with the nice touch of piped Radio 2 to accompany our ablutions!
Bellingham, with a selection of shops including a Coop which stayed open late, was easily accessible and there were a number of pleasant walks from the campsite.
On site, a dedicated dog walking area was welcome for early morning and late night use! We visited Kielder Water and Hadrian's Wall, both within easy reach of the site.
The only negative point was a small amount of road noise as our pitch was close to the fence.

Could not fault this site, when we arrived our motorhomes engine decided not to start.
The staff came to our help straight away even putting a battery charger on for us.
When we did get sited onto our pitch it was spacious, very well kept and very clean.
The site was immaculate, set in a beautiful location and had a small shop which was well stocked.
Very friendly staff who are on site 24hours,
Will definitely be returning soon.

This is one of the best sites we have ever visited. A warm welcome, spotlessly clean and well organised. This was our first visit but it wont be the last.
During our stay unexpected visitors were arriving from other sites that had been flooded and the managers and their assistants couldn't have been more helpful.
Just a short walk to the village where we received a warm welcome from the locals. Information/Heritage Centre with Rail Carriage Tea Room, run by volunteers, was well worth a visit.

We rang site literally 2 hours before arriving as a last minute decision to go and were not disappointed.
The site is set on the outskirts of Bellingham, literally a 2 minute drive to the village (or 15-20 min walk depending on pace)which has pubs, newsagents and co op for the essentials. Hexham is probably a 20 minute drive away.
Arrived to a friendly team at reception who gave us site info including local interest and also a booklet about the nearby Kielder Water. Ideal as this was where we planned to visit the following day.
We were shown to our pitch and the helpful warden indicated where the edge of our tent should be in following the 6m safety rule and if we needed any help with anything that he would be around.
Pitch was lovely and flat, no need for rock pegs, and all pitches have electric whether grass or hard standing.
There was an on site shop which also sold everything from local produce (meat and milk), bread, gas and sweet treats for the kids. It also had a full information stand with leaflets on local interest places etc.
Toilets were kept immaculately clean (closed between 11-12. 30 if I remember) and had radio 2 piped into them!
Kids play area spot on and room for ball games, as this is a c&cc site they lock it up at 9pm which wasn't a problem as it meant could get our son into bed at a decent time!
Only downside I would have to say is that site is next to road and we did experience noise from racing motorbikes and cars going past which started at around 8 am.
Have to add a HUGE positive to this site and their staff is that they had displayed the poster warning campers about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning/bbqs in tents. Well done, lets hope others do likewise!
Will certainly return for another weekend visit here as so near to home.

When we arrived we were greeted by the assistant warden who showed us a choice of pitches. We were here over the May Bank Holiday but there was still plenty of space round our tent so it did not feel crowded.
The toilets and showers were always clean and I liked the radio playing all the time. There is a j-cloth on every wash hand basin so it was easy to wipe it clean after use.
The camp shop stocks all the basics and Bellingham is only 15 minutes walk away. The is a Co-Op, bakery, post office, cafe and Chinese take away. There are several pubs and at least 3 of these sell bar meals.
It is a lovely welcoming site that is meticulously maintained by very friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed in one of the pods for 3 nights after the Easter weekend. Loved the site! Immaculate facilities could not fault the cleanliness standards at all.
The site has 4 pods grouped together in a little 'croft'. Usual pod set up (heater and lights) with a few added extras - picnic table outside, lockable storage trunk, airer and table and chairs.
Some folk may not like that you can't park right next to your pod (cars have to be parked a very short distance away) but it didn't bother us. The owners and staff were very friendly. Good shop and information point.
The site is an easy 15 minute walk into Bellingham where there is a Co-op, post office, chemist, excellent cafes, heritage centre, pubs etc. Plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would absolutely return to the site.

It's always a pleasure arriving at a well maintained camp site and Bellingham is right up there with the best of them.
The facilities are pristine 24/7 with spacious showers and privacy cubicles and even piped music to make the experience even more pleasurable.
The site is maintained to a very high standard; we stayed for two weeks during the Autumn, there was barely a leaf to be found on the well manicured lawns and the hanging baskets and tubs were freshly planted with winter blooms - not left with the remnants of summer plants as so often happens on other sites! The site shop sells all you'll need in terms of day to day necessities - and more (including locally produced Bellingham Campsite Bangers)- but if needs be, the dog-friendly pubs, shops and banks of Bellingham are a short walk away.
The owners, Carole and Barry, made us feel very welcome and were a mine of information about the local area and all it has to offer - of which there is plenty. One of those nearby attractions is the Keilder Birds of Prey Centre who were invited to visit the site during our stay and brought along cute little owls, kestrel, falcon and sparrowhawk. They performed a very informative and spectacular flying display for the benefit of the campers, all totally free of charge - as is the site wi-fi incidentally! It's often such attention to detail that makes the difference between a good site and an exceptional one and Bellingham does detail brilliantly. We look forward to our next visits.

Have just returned from our first outing to this site. We selected it because it was only an hour from home. Being a bank holiday weekend we didn't hold out much hope for decent weather but didn't fair too badly.
The site was very nice - quiet, with good facilities and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were shown to our pitch and the staff member offered advice on pitching.
When checking in we were given a booklet for Keilder (which we used to plan our visit), information on site and pass codes for toilets/shower facilities and barriers. We had no problems with midges (am very pleased to say).
There is a small playground area for children, a shop which stocks some good basics and free wifi (kept the OH happy)! The site is located in a lovely village with two banks, (one cashpoint), a co-op which was well stocked, a small PO, two take-a-ways and several pubs.
It is also well placed for Otterburn Mill, Kielder Water and Forest and the Wall. We definitely plan to return next year for another nice long weekend and are grateful that this little gem is only an hour away from home.

Just stayed here one night as on cycling tour and it was wet! Nice site. There was the option of pitching in a shaded area in the trees or in an open, exposed area in the centre of the site. Opted for the latter as the area in the trees seemed bit water logged and that there would be more midges.
Because it's in the centre of the site with the site roads running round it you do feel a bit on show. A few trees or bushes would help it feel cosier.
Good facilities with a door code. Though I didn't like the radio pumped through on speakers 24/7.
A good little shop on site too though the town isn't far away and had several pubs (only one does food), a Chinese and a co-op. Also a bike shop.
Probably wouldn't go back if I was in a tent. More geared towards the caravanners.

Stayed a couple of nights on this Site around Bank Holiday time.
It's well located just off the main road into Bellingham, and only a 10 minute or so walk. Facilities are kept impeccably clean with all toilets and washing up areas spotless.
A neat touch was provision of JCloth at every sink along with hand basins in the wash up area so that users could play their part too.
The children's play area looked good and was well used. Although there is only one toilet/wash up block and it could be a fair distance from the far end of Site, it was never crowded and queueing necessary.
The only criticism of the showers might be the pressure buttons which need repeated pressure but this at least means water isn't wasted.
The village has an useful range of shops, including a bakery( yoghurt & cranberry cakes recommended) & local butcher and really has everything you could ask for. There are plenty of good walks and cycle rides in the area and more than enough to do locally.
Only a couple of issues:
I) The site won't take in new arrivals until 12h30 not 12h00 as it says on the CCC website. We arrived early and had to wait until the franchisees were ready to deal with us.
Ii) Similarly, arrivals at other times had to wait till the franchisees were ready. The Reception Office isn't always open.

This was our first time on a club site and expected it to be very busy and noisy but it was the opposite! The owners were very friendly and the site was very well organised. Couples were put at one end of the site and families pitched nearer the play area, which means it is a great and peaceful site for couples but not too quiet that kids don't feel they can play and run about. There is a play area, but there didn't seem to be anywhere for them to kick a ball about as they weren't allowed to play between tents and caravans, which is great on one hand but I guess not if you have very restless and active kids!
The toilets and showers were always spotless with washing cubicles as well as showers. The shop had most things though the choice of bread was limited and bacon etc ran out quite quickly, the shop in the village is a well stocked Co-op though. The shop sold extras such as ordnance survey maps and gifts which is a great idea and meant that you didn't need to trek out to hexham before exploring the local area.
Perfect location for exploring Kielder forest, Northumberland, the borders and the north pennines. The only thing I recommend is midge repellent, they are savage! but this will be the same for any site in this area in the summer. Can't fault the site at all will definitely be back!

Visited Bellingham site again for the third year running and I can only say we were not disappointed.
Carole and Barry always go the extra mile to ensure all is well for the camper/caravaner/motorhomer.
The site is looking pristine as grass is well trimmed, pitches are well maintained and all facilities are excellent. The toilet and shower blocks have to be one of the best of any of the club sites, spotlessly clean, newly tiled, loads of hot water in the showers, even soothing background music. The shop provides all essentials and daily newspapers too. The staff are not just friendly but so helpful with all the info on local attractions, where to eat and where to visit.
The local village has a well stocked co-op, 3 pubs and hotels for drinking, dining or take away and the local scenery is spectacular.
Finally the latest addition to the facilities at bellingham is FREE wi-fi. For anyone needing to have access to the internet this is a godsend and no charge.
Thanks for a great site. See you in august for the bellingham show.
Jim and Jacqui.

Very well kept site. Excellent washing/toilet facilities. Everywhere immaculate. Midges, however, were unwelcome guests and we were eaten alive. A pre-warning about this would have been have been a good idea.
We like to listen to a little music whilst on holiday, however, the wardens did not welcome it, and told us in no uncertain terms to turn it down. Even though the volume was on a very low setting, (this was a 8. 45pm) and wasn't bothering the neighbours (we asked). We had a fire pit with a mesh lid on top, in which we burned briquettes. The wardens ordered us to put it out, and stood over us to make sure we did. We felt like naughty children!
Shame really, as the camp, the village and the surrounding areas were super.

A peaceful and relaxing campsite. The site was nicely set out so you have your own spot with plenty of room (we were on a hard standing).
The TV got no reception at all and the weather was terrible, glad we had plenty of DVD's with us. When it was dry we enjoyed a lovely walk into the small but nice village, where we bought our well needed midgy spray and candle.
The rain did pour all weekend and there were a few large puddles on the grassed area of the site - I would not have enjoyed camping in a tent, although there were plent of tents and people seemed ok.
The toilet and facilities were kept spotless, a lovely clean site. The dog walking area is tiny so best walk off site. Lots to do around and about - the owners give out leflets to help with this.
A dog friendly pub in walking distance - we never tried it but think we will if we stay here again which we probably will.

We chose Bellingham site because of the location as we love Northumberland. It turned out to be a short walk to the lovely village of Bellingham, which has good shops, takeaways and pubs and a fascinating Heritage Centre. It is also close to Kielder Water and Forest and a drive away from lots of other interesting places.
The staff were welcoming and helpful and we had no trouble pitching. We were given very helpful information on the surrounding area and places of interest.
The facilities were spotless and the loos and showers were checked regularly, even last thing at night. There was also music from Radio 2 playing which was a nice touch. The pitches and site were well maintained and everything looked very clean and tidy.
TV reception was not very good but that didn't bother us unduly.
The only things we didn't like were that the tents were sometimes very close to our van and it felt a bit crowded when busy.
We really enjoyed our stay here, even though the weather wasn't brilliant but we didn't get the midges. We were really impressed with the cleanliness of the whole site. Well done to the staff. We would definitely think about a return visit.
