Bankfoot Camping Reviews
Set in the Northumberland countryside Bankfoot Camping offers a place to enjoy the outdoors on a working farm. Welcoming families, couples and groups it's great for pegging down your tents and parking up your tourer, or why not stay in one of the cosy furnished bell tents? The location is ideal to explore the local area just 15 minutes from Hexham and on the outskirts of the North Pennines, famous for its scenic walks and viewpoints.

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!

Brilliant pop up site, a few electric pitches, spotless site, fantastically friendly owner who checked we were comfortable. Big plus for me, was that we were allowed to take and use own fire pit. Will def be back again! Oh, and the views - stunning.

We booked as a last minute getaway, the campsite is on a working farm with wonderful views all around. The owner is very friendly and approachable, we asked if a washing up area could be recommended. We really enjoyed our short stay and would love to return on many occasions.

Lovely camping spot, in a large field next to a farm in beautiful gently rolling hills. My 9yo son and I stayed midweek and it was quiet with lots of space. There's a trailer converted with several toilets and two showers (the shower was mercifully hot and with good water pressure). There are a few power sockets at one end of the field, which was a major bonus for us. I took a peak at one of the bell tents, it's fantastic inside with a double (king?) bed, sofa, single bed/chaise longue and wood burning stove. The host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

When myself and my family arrived at the campsite, the heavens had started to open and it was like a monsoon had decided to hit us at totally the wrong time. My wife's makeup looked like she had just been to a family member's funeral. It was all down her face and I looked like a 6ft drowned rat and to say I was not in the best of moods is an understatement. The idea of getting back in the car and going home had popped into my head until an angel in a rangey pulled up and made us an amazing offer we couldn't refuse. This angel was the owner and her name is Susan, she offered us an upgrade to one of her amazing glamping tents for a small fee and, well, I felt like I could have danced with Michael Flatley. The thought of getting myself and my family out of the rain just brightened my day. The rest of the weekend went without a hitch and we had an amazing time staying here. Me and my wife have decided to book up again next year, maybe for a week this time. Thank you once again Susan for your generous hospitality you really are a life saver ❤
