A rural farm stay with stunning views over Tyne Valley and surrounding countryside. Boasting a great location to explore nearby walks around the North Pennines and Kielder Forest Park is just a half hours drive away. The spacious and level camping field offers 27 non electric grass pitches. Each unallocated so you can turn up and choose a spot to suit you. There are also six grass pitches which each have electric hook up, suitable for tents, motorhomes and campervans. For something a little cosier the site is home to three furnished bell tents - sleeping up to four with a double bed and a sofa bed.

We stayed here as a big group of friends and kids and had a great weekend. Simple little site just the field and toilets/showers but plenty room to space out so not on top of each other. The owner is lovely and made you feel very welcome.

A great campsite if you're after basic, easy to use and with friendly, helpful service. The farmer's wife is principally involved in running it and she came around most evenings to make sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed. It's a large grassy field accessed off a quiet country road, with a row of electric hookups along one hedge, a male and female portaloo which is kept scrupulously clean and stocked with necessaries. Plenty of bins close by and at least two taps in different parts of the field. I reckon they might be fed from a spring, as the water tasted really good- we refilled our water bottles from it. The upper edge of the field is raised and is best for tents. Don't camp - or drive - in the middle, it's a bit soft and wet. We were warned about it by the farmer but some people didn't heed the warning and were towed out with a tractor. Very entertaining! Handy for Corbridge, the A69 and Hadrian's Wall, but well away from all the hustle and bustle. We would heartily recommend it!

Things to do on site and in the Stocksfield area
The nearby area is rich in history with the site even having an old roman road running straight through the field. You can head to Hadrian's Wall to see the forts and museums full of roman history or visit the historic town of Hexham with an abbey dating back to AD674.
For a day at the beach you are within an hour from Tynemouth or Whitley Bay. Both are great for days out with walks along the beach and a dip in the dea. Tynemouth is also home to castle ruins and often has a weekend market.
The Beamish Museum is quirky must see. An open living museum set in the olden days, you can spend your day visiting the old town with a bakery, blacksmiths shop and an old-fashioned sweet shop where you can see them being made!
Other nearby attractions include:
- National Trust - Cherryburn (10 minutes)
- Pow Hill Country Park (15 minutes)
- Gibside (20 minutes)
- Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens (30 minutes)
- Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens (30 minutes)
