 We stopped at Bellingham for four nights in a camping pod. The location was all we expected mainly for good walking. The pods are centralized so you could hear the traffic at all times on the gravel road. All the amenities were close at hand and clean.
The owners did over and above to make you welcome. Bellingham the village had a Co-op store which was easy to find and was about a fifteen minute walk. There is also a petrol station in Bellingham and a local pub that did decent size main meals for about seven pounds.
The one drawback was that we were in pod three which meant we were close to the children's play area. Nothing wrong with that except when they played football and no parent was there to supervise them. The ball came over the dividing fence several times and once clattered into my cooker stand barely missing me. It was lucky I was not cooking at the time. Access to Hadrians Wall, Hexham and other local towns was good with a 24 hour Tesco in Hexham.

My wife and I spent a full week at Bellingham and had a fantastic time, the site is in a beautiful setting with excellent walking and cycling straight from the site. The toilets and showers very well maintained and the reception service is brilliant. The site is meticulously looked after. We thoroughly recommend the site to anyone wanting a lovely tranquil and friendly break. The town of Bellingham is a short stroll away with plenty of pubs and an interesting museum. Keilder Water is close by, we cycled there, and well worth a visit especially the observatory but plan well ahead for that as it is only staffed on certain dates and we just missed it but the stars were still amazing, including 2 shooting stars.

We enjoyed our stay at this campsite for several reasons. The friendliness and care of the staff, the tidy and well-maintained site, the noticeable and regular attention given to cleanliness of toilet block and other areas, and its close proximity to Bellingham, Kielder and Hexham.
Our children enjoyed the playground but it is not the sort of site that would occupy their interest all day long hence the attraction of nearby places.
A slightly further trip to Alnwick, Bamburgh and other coastal locations is time well spent, especially as it affords opportunity to take in the lovely scenery and beautiful landscapes of Northumberland!

Visited this site over the bank holiday weekend and, because of the Bellingham Show (which we did not know was on until we arrived!), it was very busy. Not a bad site but did not quite meet the usual high Club standards.
Firstly, for a club site, the pitches were small and the site seem to have a policy of filling any gaps with tents, making the place feel very crowded. Secondly, the large number of tents placed extra demand on the toilet facilities. These were spotless but quite inadequate for the number of visitors. Matters weren't helped by the site management's policy of closing both ladies and gents between 10:30 and 12:15 for cleaning! This left just one hopelessly inadequate disabled toilet.
There was a shop on site but it didn't seem to have much in stock but the village of Bellingham is a 5 minute drive away and has a well-stocked Co-op so that was not much of an issue. The site is well placed for visiting Kielder Forest and Water and there are plenty of walks locally.
Overall, not a bad site and I would visit again but only in the low season when, hopefully, it wouldn't be as busy.

Just returned from a fantastic two weeks on this lovely site. Campsite immaculate, staff very friendly, gravel not noisy, road not noisy.
Toilets and showers immaculate at all times, others should appreciate the need for preserving water and the standards the sites have to adhere to. Serviced by fantastic local shops in Bellingham especially Hugh Thompson butchers, the fruit and veg shop in the Gallery, the co-op, bakery, and hardware shop.
Ideally situated for walkers, bikers and lovers of good food and real ale ( don't miss out on the Holly Bush inn at Greenhaugh). We will be back.

This has the potential to be a really good site. Toilets are to the usual high Caravan and Camping club standard, the location is very handy for Kielder and surrounding area, the shop on site is pretty well stocked and Bellingham village with its facilities is a 15 minute walk.
However.There is a very busy road next to the site and if you are unlucky enough to be near that it can be very loud.
The hard standing pitch we were on had to be the hardest I've ever had to put pegs into - and I use rock pegs
As has been said elsewhere, the gravel path running through the site is extremely noisy at quiet times of night or day and it passed within inches of our pitch.
Pitches for caravans are too small to fit a van, porch awning and car. We were asked not to put our car on the grass alongside the pitch, but to park it along the front of the van. Tent pitches seem not to have this restriction
All in all, I probably won't use this site again even though it has some good things going for it.

Lovely site in a great location. Facilities spotless at all times.
Shop has limited opening but the village co-op is only two minutes away.
As the site is quite small there is limited space for children to play but it didn't present any problems as there is so much to do in the local area - it might be an issue for those that sit by their unit all day.
Recommend organic farm for sausages, bacon and burgers.

This really is the friendliest site we've been to, the staff are very friendly and helpful. My partner was refereed to as the last England supporter (we had just lost out the world cup
The toilets and other facilities were spotless all the time, yes the site is close to the road but we did not this
A problem as their is not much traffic at night
The village of Bellingham itself is a nice and is only about 20 mins walk away.
Not far away are Kielder Water and forest, and Hadrians Wall

Having arrived at the site we were disappointed to be sited near the road which turned out to be rather noisy and not ideal. We were told that they were trying to locate all short stay visitors to this area of the site, whereby we felt penalised for only staying three nights.
The facilities were very clean and well presented.
The dog walk area was very short and with tree branches being overgrown not ideal.
The village of Bellingham was very nice, also the surrounding area beautiful.

After three weeks of great sites on our tour round holiday we were a little disappointed with this site. The assistant warden at check in was not at all welcoming and looked as if she was fed up with campers checking in although her partner was helpful in showing us a pitch.
The site was full and we found the constant stream of people walking on the stones at the side of our van very noisy at night.
The showers were press button and I lost count of the times I had to press to get a short shower, very frustrating. Also the shower block only had three showers for over 60 units so queuing was normal. Shower block closed at 10.30 until 12, sometimes later, my husband tried to go at 12.40 and they were still blocked off, rather early to close when people had to return quite a few times to get into a shower.
Lots of midges on the site, not the fault of the club naturally. Would not use this site again. Shame as the area is lovely.

A lovely well kept site. Flat pitches with immaculate shower blocks and facilities. The staff are always ready with a smile and a pleasant word. Ideally located for exploring Kielder and Hadrians Wall country.
The village and all amenities are a short walk and the Co-op stays open until late.The local bus will stop on request outside the site and Hexham can be reached directly. Good places to eat close by. Me and my blue haired gal keep going back because we are so well looked after!

Stayed at the end of the Spring Bank Holiday Week with great weather. The facilities were always clean, exceptionally so, even though the site was full. The individual wash cubicles and baby change great when you have little ones. There have been some improvements to the play area too. Don't know if site has had issue with inconsiderate parking of extra vehicles but need to park in village, car park can't be used.

Visited during the school holiday/bank holiday- May/June. The site was absolutely full, and more crowded than other sites we have visited. This had an impact on the toilet blocks, with only 6 showers between 60+ pitches there were often queues. The floors were always soaking wet and some of those little grid things you can stand on would be useful.
If you are considering booking a Pod its worth knowing that these are situated right beside the children's playground, so not exactly peaceful. They are pretty small too and close together, probably great if there is a group of you going, but not much privacy otherwise. There were lots of dogs. We had one with us, and so did nearly everyone else, some people had 3 or 4. This was not an issue for us but its worth knowing if you or you kids don't like them.
To be honest we did not find the Franchisees particularly helpful. Checking in was a muddled affair, staff seemingly not knowing what to do and it took ages. Also we decided to leave on the Friday evening although we had booked our pitch until the Saturday.
They also charge 50p to freeze an ice pack for your coolbox, I have not encountered a charge for this before at other sites visited. .
The location is fantastic, Bellingham village shops can supply all your needs, the bakers is especially good and if you are desperate for a chinese, the one there is excellent- a little pricey but huge portions. Kielder water is beautiful and the north east coast is well worth a visit, especially Druridge bay.

We just had 3 nights at this site and my 3 kids (ages 12,10 & 8) loved it. It is a very pretty site, facilities all very clean and the staff are the nicest and friendliest I have come across yet, (nothing was a problem even considering it was bank holiday weekend and they were rushed off their feet).
The only problem we had was our hook up wire wasn't long enough to reach the socket, but they lent us an extension (had to pay £25 deposit but got it back).
There's a little park and handy basic shop. Definitely will go back.

The pitch was nice and flat. Be advised however the pitches closest to the road can be quite noisy. We both sleep very well so this wasn't a problem for us but I guess this may be an issue for some. The traffic was still going past in the night and sounded like a train was bearing down on the tent! This wouldn't put me off staying again though.
We are non-members so it was very expensive for us (approx £27 per night - 2 adults, 2 dogs). The pitch was very spacious which was nice and the surroundings we're really lovely. The staff were really helpful and friendly too.
The barrier and facilities were all security controlled which was great. The washing up area / toilets / showers were exceptionally clean, nice and warm with lots of hot water. The dog walk on site was very short but we found you can walk into the town along the river which the dogs loved.
Definitely recommended (especially if you're a club member).
