 Having read all of the positive comments about this site, our first impressions were not good. Maybe we expected too much.
The entrance drive was a rough farm track opening out onto the top two tiers of this site. It looked very haphazard - some units facing one way, some another, vegetation overgrown in places.
We persevered and the welcome was warm and booming! Howard welcomed us to the site and showed us to a 'drive through' pitch - in actuality just a strip of grass at the end of a row with an adverse slope to the rear. We chocked the 'van and got onto even keel. There are some hard stands on the top tier but most of these seemed to be occupied by motorhomes.
The facilities are limited - just two loos, two showers and two sinks in each side - clean but tired looking and narrow. Two washing up sinks are sited alongside but outside the loos. For a September weekend these were adequate.
The on-site shop is limited, but there is a huge Tesco about 3 1/2 miles away where you can get anything from a pin to an elephant - 24 hours a day!
The adjacent A181 road was busy and noisy well into the night. It is the start of a dual carriageway hill, and most large vehicles change down just here - I know - I heard every one until I dropped off about 3 am
The exit from the site can be difficult. The road carries fast traffic and you emerge onto a steep hill. No chance of a 'racing' getaway - even with a large car and light 'van I crawled up the hill.
At £17. 85 + electricity - all of 32p for one night - I would expect better.

We went to this site 30th June-3rd July for the first time, the welcome and care throughout our time was exceptional.
Very relaxing, beautiful countryside views. Yes the shower block is basic, but has all you need (I can be very fussy) and had no troubles with the usage.
We decided to return the following week and Howard suggested we leave the caravan there for a nominal price, which we did and it was great just having to pull up in the car and relax quicker.
You are warned on the info sheet that noise will not be tolerated after 10. 30pm, and this was proved when a few units were a bit 'over the top' and Howard came down to reprimand them.
There is a pub nearby which I can't comment on as we did not go down, maybe next time we will. Go back? you bet we will. Thanks Howard for your little treasure.

Nicely laid out site with easy road links to Durham and Hartlepool /A1/A19.
Very basic shop and very clean toilets/showers and good information hut.
Did not visit any surrounding villages so can't really comment on them but there is a petrol station just down the road.
There didn't seem to be a lot of room for large tents though as each field is quite narrow but quite private with lots of shrubbery.
The road noise was very loud and kept my partner awake for most of the night but this was the only downside, I'm sure it would be more quiet in a camper/caravan.

We stayed for for one night on our way north, a pleasant tiered site in rural surroundings.
A village with a general store & garage nearby, the site can only be approached one way as it`s on a small stretch of duel carriageway.
Helpful owners & a small cabin full of local information leaflets.
The Wash & Toilet facilities of a high standard.
On a down side we were unable to empty our chemical toilet due to a technical site problem (as explained by the owner).
Would return when next in their area.

A lovely site. The owners were very helpful and courteous, from the phone call to book the pitch to us leaving the site.
The site was fairly empty the weekend we were there so ample space, however even if it had of been busy I believe the pitches would still be generous.
The toilet block was fine, and the previous postings have comments on the road noise were correct although it did not bother us.
Whitworth hall Country Park 10 minutes’ drive is well worth a visit for a nice walk and G Bolam butchers outlet in Sedgefield a little further afield is a must for the BBQ.
The electric meter reading is taken when you arrive and you pay for however much you have used when you leave.
It cost us £4. 20 which the owner said was high, however we did used the heating and TV a lot this weekend. A really relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Lovely location, loved the environmentally friendly efforts of this park planting trees and protecting local wildlife.
Exceptionally friendly welcome, very good value for money and plenty of space around the pitches.
Shower block and other facilities very clean, but once again hot water not hot enough and a very short push button for the shower, perfectly fine for a handbasin but not for a shower.
Nearby highway was not too bothersome and this will improve once the trees have grown up. We would return to this park.

We tried this site as it was close to home and it was our first time with a caravan. Normally we go with a Tent but we had borrowed the Mother in Laws caravan to give it a try.
It was dark when we arrived due to my wife not being able to read the very easy to read directions we got from the sites website but that wasn't a problem.
We found the place great. Nice and quiet and excellent for us to begin with. The owners were really helpful and gave us a drive on drive off pitch as we had explained that it was our first time with the Caravan.
The site was clean and tidy and the toilets again were nice and clean. There was a little shop there that seemed to sell the basics and we were right on the doorstep to Durham City.
Although you were near a busy road we never heard anything.
Overall a great site and we will be visiting again with our new caravan to try it out.
Oh and the electric was really cheap too!

Having read the other reviews on this site I am now thinking that my husband and I must be over fussy! We found the road noise to be very disturbing. In fact so much that we only stayed for one night even though we had paid for two! Having said that I did find the owners to be the friendliest most helpful people, who obviously cared about keeping the site green although somewhat untidy with weeds growing over pitches. We felt rather too close to the next pitch, especially as they had teenagers and 2 young children, and there were also a few children playing ball close to us too. The toilet/showers I found to be old and dated and could do with a thorough good clean to remove the black mould from around the shower base fitments, which no-one else seemed to notice in other reviews I have read. I can only conclude that yes we are a very fussy couple!

This site was absolutely beautiful. There were lovely views and the staff were friendly, welcoming and showed a great commitment to keeping the site green. Only a small site, it does not offer some of the attractions of bigger and busier places but if you want a quiet, pleasant and really enjoyable time, this is the site for you.Unlike some sites we have visited, the staff appeared to love their job, they waved the electricity charge because it was minimal and the full charge for our VW, 2 dogs, a tent and 2 adults and one child was £15- we would gladly return.

July was our first outing with our somewhat aged Esterel folding caravan and we decided to stop off in the Durham area on the way home to Scotland. Having read a few reviews of Strawberry Hill we decided to give it a try, and were very glad that we did. From my initial telephone call to book a pitch to the friendly wave we received as we left, the owners, Howard and Elizabeth, couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The information hut is excellent and they even provide a map of Durham and printed directions to the nearest supermarket when you first arrive. Ok, there is some noise from the road, but we soon stopped noticing it and it quietens considerably outside commuting times.
All in all a great wee site with the bonus of a really nice pub/restaurant a mile down the road and easy access to Durham and the coast. We'll definitely stay there again.

Easy to get to and well located only a few miles from the centre of Durham, this is a well maintained site.
Some pitches have good views over the surrounding countryside and the toilet / shower / laundry / dishwashing block was very nice.
The owners are very nice and they have a superb tourist information 'shed'. Gas and other bits and bobs can be bought from the very small shop.
There are information signs explaining how the hedgerows had been planted to attract wildlife which we thought was a nice touch.
Our only small complaint is that there is a wee bit of road noise but you do find that you tune out after a while.
The site was quiet when we were there and we got the impression that a lot of folk use it as a stopover.
We would not hesitate to recommend this site for either a stopover or a longer stay.

This was our first time camping in our motor home we used this site because it was close to friends and thought it would be ideal to test us and the motor home to iron out any problems thankfully there was none,
we found the owners very friendly the site was well-kept toilets and showers were very clean the pub down the road (the three horseshoes) serves good food and made us very welcome. As we have a 18 month old baby it suited us fine for a couple of days as a base but don't think we would stay longer but will use again as a stop over on way to Scotland.

Stayed on this site for four nights. Great owners. Very helpful and pleasant. Nothing too much trouble. Road noise not too noticeable after a short while. Site very well taken care of. Grass mown at least three times whilst I was there.
Toilets and showers very clean. Also washing up area. It has a laundry room too. Electric is paid separately from site fee. Cost me £2.00 for four nights! Cheaper than at home. Could do with a play area if you have children with you. Cannot fault this site and will definitely be returning.

This was our first ever camping holiday ans we needed something local just encase the mrs didn't like it.
Well the small camping area was perfect for us, clean, grass well cut, nice and quiet also. The toilets were very clean and plenty of space.
After staying there just the 1 night the mrs is liking the idea of camping and I cant wait to go back soon.
