About the site


A small, secluded campsite nestled on the edge of Northumberland National Park and just a five-minute walk from the village of Bellingham. This family friendly base sits on a working farm, where guests can meet the animals and chat to the farmer during their stay. The campsite is split across two small fields. One has 18 non electric grass pitches suitable for backpackers, motorbikes, tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes and the other offers 12 grass pitches with 16 amp hook ups catering to the same units. If you prefer not to camp, there's also a cosy granary cottage available onsite. If you're feeling peckish, local pubs and cafes are just a five minute stroll away. Be sure to visit Hadrian's Wall, a popular historical landmark, which lies just 30 minutes from the site. Dogs are welcome onsite, provided they are kept on their leads. Small BBQs are allowed, please ensure they are raised off the ground. Sorry, campfires are not allowed here.
