 This site is very handy when you're sick to death of driving along the A1 to or from Scotland but I can't see it as any more than a stop over.  The location means the traffic noise never stops.   A lot of money has been spent here and the facilities are usual good CC standard. 
Don't rely on being able to turn up and get a pitch for the night - it does get busy.   My experience in a motorhome is that you are directed to a pitch near the entrance (noisy).   There is a more pleasant grass area at the back of the site a bit further from the road - maybe caravanners have more luck in being allowed on this area.

 Usual high standards of CC sites - immaculate pitch and shower block, but seemed to lack any character, and apart from a smooth road around the site which was ideal bike riding for my 6 year old, there was nothing for youngsters. Walked in to Durham which was a bit further than we expected - had a wonder and then looked for an earlyish (6pm) pub meal. Most places seemed to full of groups having a good session, and we were turfed out of another (don't serve children after 4pm on Saturdays). At this stage thought we had made a mistake going to Durham. Ended up buying bits from Waitrose for BBQ at caravan and had pleasant quiet evening. Next day had a magic day at local open farm - kids loved it, followed by a great Sunday lunch at pub on way home but can't remember where. So you could say lovely site but not best for youngish families.

 A great site which has been recently refurbished. There are numerous places of interest within easy reach. For shopping don't miss trips to Durham,Newcastle and The Metrocentre (one of the biggest in europe!).You can park FREE at the Metrocentre,then catch the No100 shuttle bus into Newcastle from the centre's own bus station,also Newcastle has great night clubs ( Bigg Market ). For the country lover you have the whole of Weardale to explore....enjoy!

 Another typical caravan club site (i.e. excellent). Absolutely spotless facilities and very neatly laid out pitches. Very close to the A1 so convenient - traffic noise wasn't noticeable either.

Durham town centre is quite close and there is an excellent bus service from the nearby park and ride. Be aware that quite a number of roads need to be crossed to walk there from the site though, so not ideal if with young kids. Durham is lovely with old streets wending their way up the castle and the wonderful cathedral. The Beamish open air museum is a short drive away (next stop north on the A1) and well worth a visit. In winter only the tramway and the 1913 town is open but even that meant there was lots to do and see.

Great campsite ideally located just of A1, we stayed here as a stopover for one night and would definitely do so again. Plenty of toilets, separate wash basins and private showers. All brand new, impressed by the free hairdryers in the ladies. Theres a vegetable preparation area all very clean. Grassed area well maintained, had a choice of grass or hardstanding to pitch our caravan.
