About Camping at Banks
A relaxed, back to basics campsite with stunning wildlife, ideally located beside the Hadrian's wall national trail, perfect for hikers looking to explore. The site has space for around 20 small backpacking tents, all of which are on unallocated non electric grass pitches. Vehicles are not allowed so you must arrive via bike or foot. The shepherd's hut sleeps up to three people and has a cosy log burning fire as well as a picnic table outdoors. The shepherd's hut has its own composting loo, sink and water point. Dogs are allowed onsite and there are plenty of surrounding trails for them to explore, just please keep them on the lead when onsite. Fire pits are permitted, just keep them raised off the grass so that the ground doesn't get damaged.
Open all year
The site has two composting loos, one for use by shepherd's hut guests and one for those camping. There are three outside clay sinks with drinking water. There is also a fire pit for which it is possible to buy logs.
