 Great little campsite for exploring the Wall most famous sections.
Malcolm really friendly host,
Nice hot showers and a kitchen for a cuppa.
Good basic facilities for an overnight camp on the wall. Great value

We arrived in the middle of some seriously wet weather and Winshields was an absolutely beacon!
The owner is so helpful and kind. He had all the radiators on so campers could dry out wet gear, and he was super helpful in finding a good place to pitch our tent given the soggy weather.
There's a gem of a common room with everything you need when walking the wall and hugely awesome showers and toilets.
Excellent place to pitch for a night when walking the wall!
Brilliant value for money - the owners know exactly what walkers need and are sure to provide it!

This is the second time I have stayed at Winshields whist hiking Hadrians Wall.
The common room area is great for relaxing, charging electrical’s, cooking and for chatting to other hikers.
The shower/toilet block is perfect after a long days hiking.
Be warned there are no shops nearby, so you will need to bring your own food. Saying that there is a pub about a mile up the road that does food, but I’ve never had the energy to make it!
Overall this is a great camp site and in fact I will be staying there once again in May 2025 when I hike the wall again.

New owner is friendly and welcoming, I really needed the cup of tea offered on arrival.
Site offers a large area for tents, away from cars and vans.
Dish washing, showers and toilet block is basic but good.
Reception area inside offers welcome shelter on rainy mornings.
I'm very happy that this site has re-opened.

I arranged a one night stay for 10 cyclists. This was an ideal location as we were cycling the Hadrians cycleway. 10 cyclists in a 12 bed bunkhouse, accommodation was clean and was an absolute bargain
At a fraction of B&B prices, added a breakfast for less than £20 a person. We arrived around 6pm and quickly got showered and sorted for a few well deserved drinks. Shower and toilet facilities are basic but are very adequate. Iona the owner was very helpful and friendly, offered us a hot cuppa before our breakfast. Well recommended for location and cost,

We camped at Winshields for 7 days using it as a base to visit much of Hadrian's Wall and the associated Roman antiquities around the area. This site is more or less right in the middle of all you want to see and was very handy from that point of view. Add to that the wonderful informality of the site and the friendliness of the owners and it all adds up to the best place to camp for visiting the area. The breakfasts in the on-site cafe were excellent, and the toilet, shower and washing up facilities, though not 5 star, were good enough for our requirements.
A great place to stay, and we would love to make a return visit sometime.

A good site on Hadrian's Wall and popular with DofE groups. We used the camping barn and tent fields - both did the job fine. Facilities are rather run-down, so £9 per person for camping is a little steep. Lovely cafe for breakfast. Excellent walks from the site.

We stayed here on the third night of our Hadrian's Wall walk. There are several fields and the pitches are absolutely fine. The facilities leave a bit to be desired - the gents toilet block was dirty and the cubicles so small my knees rested against the door (and a local high school group seemed to be having a party in it). I had to disconnect the farmyard hose to use the water tap. It was our most expensive site too and I regret not the best value for money. That said, the site is fine for hikers and the pub down the road serves excellent beer.

Lovely campsite in the Northumberland National Park. Free to pitch the tent wherever we wanted in one of at least two large fields. The campsite owner is lovely and very flexible - there were no complaints about us arriving near to midnight!
Didn't use the showers, but they looked good. The toilet facilities were good. There is also a room with a table and chairs for visitors to take shelter from the rain (and midges - bring a head net!).
Food is available from an on site cafe and there was a drying room.
The only thing I would suggest as an improvement is to get recycling facilities. If there were any, we didn't see them. It is important to take care of the environment - without it we wouldn't have beautiful places like this to visit. It could also be a good idea to get a hand dryer in the toilet, or provide a handtowel so that less paper towels are used, or possibly compost/recycle used towels.
Other than that, great campsite and would definitely recommend it. Also near to the National Park Visitor Centre which is great.
