 Have to agree that this is a lovely site - beautiful spot, well-cared for, friendly owner, ace chickens, ok toilet & washing up facilities.
Bellingham village was ok (good Co-op & hardware shop for those camping emergencies!) but wasn't over-impressed with the local pubs I'm afraid. We do like our real ale-type beer & there wasn't any to be found in the village pubs. The beer we had was also ice cold - what's all that about? However, have to agree with a previous review about the Bay Horse at West Woodburn - it was lovely & the locals were so friendly (even when I knocked over their beer!). One of the men at the bar said that the Riverside Inn was better for beer but that was on our last day so we didn't have time to check it out.
I must also recommend the butchers shop in Bellingham - we got a barbeque pack of meat that wasn't too expensive but was really yummy.
All in all, a basic site in a really good location but we'll maybe take our own wine next time!

Visited this lovely run campsite for 5 days in August. Showers were warm and clean (50p for 6 mins). Lots of fun with the chickens which came into the awning. Bellingham is a lovely village within walking distance from the site,with a well stocked co-op, butchers, bakery (with lovely carrot cake) and butchers.
Take mosquito repellent as they are quite nasty! Also we had a 23ft caravan,getting in the farm was no problem, but and had we had a bit of difficulty getting out of the farm but the farmer helped guide my husband out. Electric is 6volt. All in all a lovely site.

Great Little site, warm welcome on arrival, a good size pitch, fairly level. 2 x showers in mens block 1 x shower in ladies block, 50p for 6 mins, plenty of hot water, sink available in mens & ladies for washing dishes. Bellingham has bakers, butchers, 2 x banks, Post Office, cafe, Petrol station, local Co-Op & pubs. One which offers take away meals between 18.30 - 21.00hrs, we ate our takeway in the downstairs bars, nice meal, well worth a visit. It is difficult to get a signal with O2, but possible depending on where ou are pitched, Orange had a very good signal on this site. No Freeview signal, but got channels 1-4. The chickens are still there doing the rounds picking up all the dropped food bits.
Well worth visiting in the waterfall, approx 1.5hrs walk from the site, quicker on the return as downhill generally.
There is a hotel just outside the Bellingham, which has a small swimming pool, and is open to the general public Adults £4, Kids £2, but if you dine and spend over a certain amount you can swim for Free!.
Kielder Observatory is well recommended we went there to see the recent meteor shower as it was fantastic, also with there 2 x telescopes 1 x 20' mirror 1 x14' we saw 'Jupiter', & other interesting stars etc, the do have a website so you can search for it.

Our first camping trip just to try out our new tent. A great little campsite which we will go back to. There was only one shower and not sure if the shower room was heated. Owner was very friendly. There was not a lot of places to eat in Bellingham as the pubs were full with it being a Saturday night but the CO-OP is open late and the first pub you come to does take-away.

We have been visiting Demesne camp site for some years now. We previously went to Brown Rig until they over did it with the rules and regulations. Demesne is within a 5 minute walk of the village of Bellingham. Not a huge site so it is never too busy. We stayed at least 2/3 times a year when we had a tent - now we have a caravan so will be staying a lot more as it doesn't matter what the weather is like now. If you are taking a TV there is no digital signal yet in Bellingham.
The Bellingham Show weekend is great but you need to book early. The show is always the last Saturday in August and the beer tent always goes down well with our crew. Also the live music is usually very good with a nice mix of styles.
There are 3 pubs in the village all of which are very friendly. The Co-op is open until 10pm at night which is handy but it is slightly more expensive than most due to location.
Well worth a visit.

After reading reviews on this site we decided we would give it a go
The main tent field itself was very hilly so difficult to pitch tent and in the end we had to go the field with the electric hookup as this field was flat. It had been raining and I presume there is a leak in the toilets roof as the tiled floor was soaking wet and dangerously slippy, there was no toilet roll and the toilets looked like they were out of the ark.
This is also a working farm so there are hens walking round the fields (one came in our tent!) and there are sheep, plenty of sheep, which at 6.00 in the morning their noise is not appreciated!
The worst part of the entire time we spend was the midgeys. There are millions of them.
The good thing this site offers is it very close to the main village.

This is our old faithful campsite if we only have a couple of nights. Toilet and shower are basic but clean.
Nice village with good bars, co-op, butchers, newsagents and little general hardware shop plus a couple of gift shops.
Close to Kielder and Otterburn. There is a kids park in the village and a nice easy walk to small waterfall not far from site.

This is a great site. Camping as it should be - with no airs and graces. It's located within staggering distance of the village, which itself is not too far from Kielder and only slightly further to Hadrians Wall. The facilities are very basic. One shower and two toilets in the ladies - all of which look like they could be the original ones installed when the site opened 30 odd years ago! But they all worked and there was never a queue so what more do you need?! It was also very cheap - I think it was £11 pn for two adults and a dog. Bargain!
The pubs in the village are ok but there is a fantastic pub called the Bayhorse in West Woodburn (appx 5 miles away). The food was all home made and delicious and it has a great atmosphere and friendly locals. Definitely worth a visit.

Love this campsite and village, probably the lesser known of the two but in Bellingham so I'm not saying too much cos I'd like it to stay that way ha ha. No it's a fantastic little site with well kept facilities and the owners are very helpful. Perfectly situated just off the village which has everything that is needed including banks, co-op, post office, butchers, bicycle hire and even a golf course. Ideal for visiting Kielder and local bus services are fairly regular to kielder and Hexham.
Local pubs are very friendly and from the first moment I walked in wearing a sunderland shirt the good humoured football banter started and I spent a highly enjoyable sunday afternoon and evening in the company of the locals. If you haven't been yet get yourself there.

A great site set close to the centre of Bellingham.
The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. As you may have guessed its a working farm which gives all visitors plenty to see, we loved the friendly chickens who seemed to be always hungry.
Toilets and showers were adequate and well maintained. Fantastic butchers in town and I can recommend his Cumberland sausages. A choice of 3 pubs in town serving great food as reasonable prices. Only a local co-op to buy groceries which we found to be overpriced but then again, no competition. Newsagents, Hardware store and a post office are all within 4 mins walk from site. Would certainly visit again. Plenty of fantastic walks and great scenery to take in.
