Why choose High Farm Holiday Park

About the site

Situated just 20 minutes from the North Pennines National Park, this is a family-friendly campsite set in the countryside with rural views. For days out, it is also just ten minutes from Hamsterley Forest and Bishop Auckland. For tent campers, there are electric grass tent pitches with 16 amp hook ups. There are also electric gravel tent pitches, perfect for smaller setups. These pitches are 6m x 4m, include electric hook-up and are suitable for tents only. They allow up to three people and are a good year-round option. Touring guests can choose from grass or hardstanding touring pitches, which each measure 6m x 9m. These pitches suit caravans and campervans and also come with 16 amp electric. Each allows up to four people, but twin-axle and commercial vehicles aren't allowed. For glamping, guests can stay in one of the vintage ensuite railway wagons. These cosy wagons sleep two people and include a fold-down double bed with bedding, a kitchen with an oven, fridge, sink and kettle, plus a TV and heating. Each wagon has its own ensuite bathroom with towels provided, and an outdoor deck with seating. One of the biggest highlights of the site is The Paddocks animal area. Guests can meet alpacas, wallabies, rheas and meerkats, along with rabbits, guinea pigs and colourful birds. There's also a children's playground, and feed pots are available. Entry is free for guests staying on site, making it a brilliant bonus for families. Food and drink are available to enjoy too. The Curlew Café serves breakfasts, daily specials and homemade cakes. On Friday and Saturday evenings in peak season, the Curlew Bar offers dinner, cocktails, local beers and a fun atmosphere, with events like live music and bingo on selected nights. For safety, open fires aren't allowed, but BBQs are welcome as long as they're raised off the ground. If guests fancy eating out, there's a pub just a five-minute walk away. Dogs are very welcome, with up to two dogs allowed per pitch and one per railway wagon, and there's even an onsite dog walking area, so four-legged guests can enjoy the holiday too.

Electric hardstanding touring pitches are open from February to the end of November. All other pitches from the end of March until the beginning of November. Glamping is available from February until mid December.
