 Really enjoyed this site,
Friendly welcome,
Good facilities and ideal for walking,
Plenty of places of interest within easy travelling distance.
We were pitched right next to the duck pond which was great.
Would definitely go back

Stayed for 2 nights, ideally placed for walking and access to Hadrians Wall where we had a couple of great walks.
Bus stops 5 mins away so you can do a linear wall walk. A little out of the way, pub is a good 45 mins walk, as is Haltwhistle.
Mixture of hard standing and grass, slightly sloping but no problem with soft ground as it was quite dry, would imaging it gets a bit slippy if wet.
Great facilities, drying room included. All clean and tidy. Small shop and cafe on site. Owners really friendly and helpful.
Would definitely visit again.

Stayed 3 nights at this great site with interesting levels. Location good for walkers.
The site was very wet when we arrived and unfortunately a breakdown in communication meant that we got stuck in the mud and had to be winched off when we should have been told to pitch on the access road between the pitches.
We had snow blizzards for 24 hours, which put our campervan to the test. It is approx 1/2 hour walk to the wall - we turned right and got as far as Sycamore Gap then dropped down to Vindolanda and back to site. Called at Twice Brewed Inn for a snack en route.
Fantastic walk that pretty much filled a day. Shower block kept very clean with a good hairdryer.
Great site for tents and campervans.

This is the second time we have stayed on this site, the first time was en-route to Scotland. Ideal for anyone visiting Hadrians Wall or the Local Roman Settlements. Ideal to use this site as a base or a stopover if you are walking the wall or just passing through. The site sits about half-a-mile south of Hadrians Wall.
There is a hot room which is locked during the night so that your wet items can be dry and ready for you in the morning.
The site has several levels so that at the top you get a fantastic views of the surrounding area. The site has a mixture of hard stand and grass.
Within a mile there are eating places, pubs etc
The wardens are very helpful and knowledgable of the surrounding area.
Looking forward when heading to the Wall again to booking a further visit.

This camp site is ideally situated for exploring Hadrian's Wall and is close to the 'Sycamore Gap' (as seen in Robin Hood with Kevin Costner).
There is a small shop on site. The staff are very friendly, informative, and can provide walking routes with maps. After our long walk it was lovely to have someone cook pizzas and deliver them to the camper while we quenched our thirst.
The site was well maintained and the showers were good.
In general a very good small camp site and expect to visit again with more family members.

This is a lovely site although as previous reviews have stated, the Motorhome pitches are very close together on a small hard standing at the front of the site.
The owners are very welcoming and provide a brief overview of facilities. The toilet and shower block is basic but is kept clean and warm. Electric Hookups are provided with fresh water, grey waste and toilet emptying facilities available immediately behind the MH plots.
The location is ideal for those wishing to walk Hadrian's Wall or enjoy the dark skies at night.

What a beautiful and welcoming campsite. Owner so friendly and helpful.
Can't say anything negative about the site,
Would definitely go again and would recommend to all campers.
The scenery and surrounding area was beautiful, although we went the end of the summer period we absolutely loved it.

We stayed for five nights here, in our campervan with our dog. We liked this site straight away, by the friendly greeting and its layout and facilities. Its sited on the side of a valley, on various levels, the highest level being only for tents. We had a nice spot, lower down, still looking out over the hills. The amenity block has a nice 'log-cabin' feel about it; good showers, laundry/drying room, bunk room, site shop, and a café that provides pre-ordered breakfast's as well hot drinks and cakes. One really great service is the fresh pizza delivery by quad bike to your pitch! The WiFi is free but with a charity tin. Dogs are welcome, but (rightly) must be kept under close control - see below.
We were able to walk to (and along) Hadrians Wall from the site; also to Vindolanda (or Vindaloo as I called it) - well worth a visit. There are regular buses along the B6318, so its quite easy to do a walk and hop along sections of the wall. By car there is plenty of places to visit, including the above and Houseteads. With dogs; while we there dogs off the lead were shot by farmers, when they got amongst livestock; not very nice for the dog, and totally the fault of the owners; and the site staff do go out of their way to warn people. So yes, a very nice site that I would recommend to anyone.

Very warm welcome to the site. Staff are friendly. It was a really busy bank holiday weekend as well. Pitches were of good size. Some pitches are on flat ground, some on a slight slope. We had rain x1 night and the area got a little water logged near one of our doors, not a real problem as we used the other doors instead - but be aware if pitching in bad weather of uneven grass so you do not get a pool of water beneath you (footprint needed).
Loved the extras like pizza and breakfast to your tent. Good facilities. Even though it was busy I didn't have to wait for a shower!
Layout of site is good and I will go back to this site again. Had EHU and no issues with tripping out either. Overall a really good site to visit. Close to places of interest as well. Local Co-op not too far away either.

The site is well situated for visiting sites along Hadrians wall, and for walking in the area. The site is more suited to tents or small campervans as the Motorhome hard standing area is more like a car park with only about 5 foot between vans, not even room to get chairs out and the only view out of the side of your unit is the side of the van next door. The toilet facilities although clean, seem inadequate for the number of pitches. The staff are pleasant and helpful and there are good facilities for tent campers, ice block freezing, drying room etc. In summary, good site for tents, but if your in a motorhome and want outside space this is maybe not the site for you, I wont be returning.

What a lovely site. The wardens were so welcoming, the pitch we had was great. Showers and toilets were immaculate and very clean. Would definitely stay here again. The site had a small shop and also did takeaway pizza! Fantastic place in a great location.

Very friendly and helpful couple run this site which is very well placed for a taste of Hadrian's Wall. The pitches are of a good size and the facilities are well maintained. Bit disappointed that the tea and scones advertised were never available. We went 3 afternoons but each time the area was closed and nobody in attendance - shame. The rubbish needs sorting out, all four bins have a recycle logo on but none were for recycling! Nothing for children to do here.

Amazing site, amazing location and amazing wardens! Honestly, the wardens are what makes this site so special. They make you feel at home and even remember your names! We were helping to bottle feed the hand reared lambs whilst we were there, which was brilliant fun. The facilities were spotless and never closed for cleaning! They just popped in at various times during the day to make sure they were always spotless. Absolute credit to the wardens. There were some groups on the site, but they were always really well behaved, I was impressed! Even the group of guys were really good, in fact the worst were the young teenage girls with their high pitched screams, but generally they were so tired after a days walking that they were in bed very early! Ah. Now the walking. Amazing walks along Hadrian's Wall from the site, as well as loads of other paths around the site. We ventured further afield and walked a stretch of the Pennine Way from Garrigill, which turned out to be one of the best stretches of the walk, we later found out, and we certainly agree that cross fell had breathtaking views! You can walk to Haltwhistle if you like, but we generally drove due to heavy shopping and there is free parking with no height restrictions. We also went north to Scotland and Kielder which was lovely and had loads of walks and tracks. Already planning on heading back to the site as we were so impressed with it. The slight down mark is for value for money as there is a charge of £2. 50 per dog, per night during the main season, which compared to an adult of £3 we thought was quite high as the dogs don't use the facilities! So it made it £26pn for us in a caravan, 2 adults, 2 dogs, no electric, but I think it was worth it! The shop had some basic camping facilities and supplies as well as providing takeaway pizza delivered to your pitch and breakfasts. There were also eggs from the chickens and some baking on offer. Unfortunately the ducks who wander around the site didn't provide any eggs for sale. We will be back soon to see how Boris and Dave, the lambs, are doing!

We have just returned home from a bank holiday weekend away to this campsite. This was my second visit to this site and I'll certainly not hesitate to 1) recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the area and 2) return there myself for another break.
The wardens are very friendly and nothing seems to be too much bother for them. You'll be assured of a very warm welcome. The last time I camped here I was on the top level of the first field you come in to and it was lovely (although a little way from the facilities), this time we were placed just by the main gate - not the best of pitches when you're going to sleep early due to the coming and going of vehicles right past your tent - but I've learnt and will request a pitch away from the main gate at my next visit.
There are 4 highly sociable ducks who wander around the site - they are the first up in the morning as they patrol around chattering to each other, then go to sleep when the campers get up! A lovely addition to the site. There are currently two lambs being cared for and it was wonderful to see them following the warden around as they were put into the field each day.
There's a small shop/cafe on site selling some basics, or you can pre-order take away pizza, have coffee/tea and a scone or enjoy a pre-ordered home cooked breakfast.
The facilities are nice, early morning seems to be the busiest for the showers so we tended to shower in the evening instead - always hot water. There's an area for you to wash up with hot water and there are laundry facilities too (at additional cost). There is free wifi available and a donation requested, but it's extremely patchy, slow and difficult to connect to for any length of time.
Dogs are required to be kept on their leads on this site, unfortunately there are some people who appear to think this rule doesn't apply to them, on Sunday morning a child was chasing a dog that was chasing the poor ducks around - the ducks were understandably quacking in panic and the child was calling the dog - at 0450! On Sunday evening we had a visit from a dog that had been let off the lead, unfortunately we 'were' asleep at the time and the owner coming over for the dog woke us
