About the site
Located on the border of County Durham and North Yorkshire, this family friendly park offers convenient touring and camping for all! Within metres of the A66, it's an ideal location to explore Richmond, Durham, Darlington, the North East and beyond. On site, indulge in many activities, including playing at the on-site playground, browsing the gift shop, and dining at the cafe and restaurant. Located on a large field, there are grass pitches for tents and tourers, all of which enjoy plenty of space to spread out. All pitches have optional access to electric hook up! Caravans, motorhomes and campervans can choose the generously-sized hardstanding pitches that come with electric hook-ups and ample space for large awnings, ensuring visitors never need to worry about power and space. Dogs are welcome, with plenty of open space for visitors to explore. With walking routes through grassy dells, woodland areas, and along the banks of the River Greta, visitors can enjoy the great outdoors and take in the beautiful scenery. Raised BBQs and fire pits are also allowed, meaning visitors can toast as many marshmallows as they like! You'll also find a range of seasonal pitches here, and a function room onsite is the perfect space for parties and events. Please note, the camping and caravan pitches are located within 20-50 metres of the A66, a busy dual carriageway. If you require electricity during your stay, you will need to top up your electric card with a minimum of £10. Any unused credit upon departure will be refunded to your card, provided the credit has been successfully reallocated. Instructions for use will be given upon arrival.

It was our first night ever camping with 2 kids. They loved it, especially the farm animals. Staff were really helpful too. We had a slow puncture on the way there, we just managed to make it through the gates before it went completely flat and we didn't have a spare tyre. 1 of the staff came and helped us fix it he even went and got 1 of his mates to come and repair the hole in the tyre. They went above and beyond for us we can't thank them enough. He even came and showed us where our pitch was and showed us how everything worked. The only thing is it's close to the A66, so there is a little bit of noise coming from the cars. Other than that, it was a really good experience for our first time camping. We will definitely be going back.

Lovely site, shower and toilet block very clean. Conveniently situated for our needs, just off A66, traffic noise was not too bad.
A great park

This is a great park that is central to many attractions. The value for money is Ok. However, the metered electric can be high if the weather turns cold. The mini-shop, restaurant and gift shop are good value for money and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Although the shower facilities are spotless, we found that you have to run off a fair amount of cold water before the hot water kicks in. We found it odd that there were no recycling facilities?
