 Lovely site, totally spotless! Wardens really polite and helpful. This was our first outing with our new caravan and they couldn't do enough to ensure we were set up and running ok.
Excellent location for winter touring. 2 min drive into the gorgeous city of Durham. Woke up to snow on our last morning, not a problem towing home as very close to motorway.
Very well organised. We can't wait to return.

Really enjoy this site, even though it is only 15 miles from my home, it is easy to get to and allows me to chill out away from everything.It's good to have the grandkids come over as it's not far for them to travel either.
The toilet and shower blocks are spotless and WARM (it was minus 3 outside during daytime when we stayed.
The children's playground is very good with lots for them to do.
The only downside is the constant but distant traffic noise from the adjacent A1M motorway - next time would pick a pitch diagonally opposite the reception block as this is furthest from traffic noise.
All in though an excellent site and for those who like city touring Durham is only 3 miles away - we always use the Park & ride on other side of Motorway junction as it's not worth the hassle trying to park and also paying congestion charge in Durham.

Visited this site for a one night flying visit to Durham.
Just off the A1 so very easy access to the site.The site itself has all you would expect from a CC site with usual caravan club standards of cleanliness and facilities etc,
Only real downside for me was the noise from the A1 was quite loud even at 5 am when I woke up.
We left our car on site and used the park and ride to get in to Durham £1.70 each and took no more than 5 mins to get to the heart of the city, and we got a taxi (£5) back after a few well deserved ales in Durham.
We found the site to be a little sterile and characterless ok for a one nighter though

I have just returned after 4 nights at this site. On the plus side this site is the usual CC standard. Toilet block clean and tidy. The warden and his wife were very friendly and helpful. On the down side there is a Council depot right next to the site and there is quite a bit of noise with skips etc. Late at night and early in the morning so I would recommend pitching as far away from the gate as possible. When we were leaving we stopped at the toilet block to empty the cassette toilet and a worker (could have been the Asst. Warden) barked at us 'you can't park there, I want to take the tractor out'. We thought this was a terrible way to speak to paying customers and suggest he attends a Customer Service Course. Politeness costs nothing. Please ask for a handwritten map when booking in as if we had received this on the first day it would have saved a lot of stress. It has all the supermarkets, pubs, eateries etc. On this map and was very helpful.

On arrival at this site we received the most friendly welcome anyone could ask for. We stayed for two weeks. Everything was so well cared for. Wardens seemed to have a great pride in their site. So much to see in this area. Used local park and ride to visit Durham. Lovely city. Cathedral well worth a visit.Fish and chip shop in Belmont sells excellent quality food. It even provides you with the name of the ffjord where the fish was caught.
Overall it is impossible to fault this site.
The A1m is audible throughout the night but one expects this if staying near a busy main road.
We spent a very happy two weeks thanks to the friendliness of the staff here.

Simplicity itself to find as per caravan club directions. Cleanliness on site can only be described as immaculate. Wardens genuinely friendly and helpful. Not worth taking the car into Durham. Park and ride was £1.70 return or free with bus pass, runs every 10 minutes from Belmont Park. Turn left at T junction on leaving the site, straight on at roundabout signposted Sunderland, Belmont Park is approx 200yards on the left. River boat cruise good value at £6, even better value was the guided tour of the the castle/ unversity. Free entry into Durham cathedral, donations accepted. The cafe in the cathedral was excellent value. Discount at Beamish open air museum with caravan club card. All in all an excellent site with plenty going on to keep you occupied.

We have just spent 14 nights at Grange. We are new to the caravan club so were hoping we have made the right choice. We arrived at 2.30pm and were given a map of the site. As we were staying for this length it was suggested we use a hard standing pitch, I was a little sceptical as we had only booked a standard pitch. We parked up outside the toilet blocks and went in search of an empty pitch (we had 3 to choose from) One was close to the park but far from the loos, the other was near the entrance so we settled for pitch 5 which was next door but 1 to the loo's (mum in law happy). Our kids are 8 & 9 so were more than capable of finding their own way to & from the park. They took their scooters as I wasn't sure they would have room for their bikes. They had plenty as it happened!
The pitches are HUGE and we had enough space for van, awning and car and still have space to walk around the car. It rained a few times, mainly through the night but we had no drainage issues at all. We had a list of things to do, Diggerland (pricey @ £15 each but lost the day, had so much fun) Beamish (good job they issue an unlimited pass so we can return again free), Newcastle's Metro Centre, Durham, Seaham (quiet seaside) and Souter Lighthouse(free to NT members or £4.75 ea). Then there is North Shields (and the ferry to South Shields at £2 inc bus transfer) ALL within 20 miles away! We only just managed to use a tank of fuel including getting there towing! Tesco is only 3 miles away but badly signposted.
The loo's were kept immaculate and the separate cubicles was handy for getting dressed separate to the showers. The loos close across lunchtime for cleaning and it was only on the last day we discovered the extra loo down the side of the block for use when main ones are shut! There are plenty of bins, taps and drains so in my opinion it would be a waste to spend the extra upgrading to a service pitch, the farthest you would have to go is 4 pitches for water/drainage. The staff were all very friendly but as our boys are older they were unable to play ball games. That is really my only gripe, and its a shallow one.
We only had one lazy day as there is so much to see and do, may have to visit again and SOON. We paid £175 less here than our Cornwall holiday last year and I enjoyed this so much more. I have no idea why so many visitors to Grange only spend one or two nights here. There is a fab washing machine (£3 per load) and dryer (60p) and even an iron (10p) what more could you need? I can also recommend the 'Taybarn restaurant' near Angel of the North. Its all you can eat for £7.99 inc puddings! NE16 3BL enjoy.

Site was very well kept and pleasant. Toilet block was spotless and clean. The site office did sell a few basics but couldn't be called a shop. There was a short dog walk on site and a very large dog walking field within 5 mins.
Security was great with a keyfob entry/exit.
Site is next to A1 so great for travelling around the area, didn't hear the car/lorry noise while on site. Durham city centre was only 10 mins by car and the parking was very reasonably priced.
We stayed on a serviced pitch which was huge, had caravan (side on), awning and car on pitch. Still had enough room for another 2 cars. All hardstanding with a grass 3/4 around the pitch. So other pitches were well spaced.
Definitely recommend the site to others.

We have just come back from this lovely clean safe caravan park . We have 2 boys 5 and 8 years old they have a wonderful time playing at the play area which was FAB . Riding the bikes around the park which I felt was very safe. Spotless toilet at all times and the park was full and they stayed clean all the time. I would recommend this park to anyone. Very close and easy to get to Durham, park and ride 5min walk away .

We have just spent a night on this campsite as a stop over on our way home from Scotland. We thought this campsite was very nice, the staff very friendly and the amenities were spotless with brilliant showers.
The area was very easy to get to from the A1 and we thought we would be disturbed by traffic noise but we weren't. The children's play area was sufficient for our two boys and they enjoyed the facilities.
We would recommend this site as a stop over or we would like to go back for a bit longer to explore the surrounding area.
