My stay at the campsite was quite pleasant overall, as we enjoyed a lovely area for our tent and friendly interactions with staff. However, there were a few issues with noise and amenities, particularly regarding the bathroom situation and some unruly behavior from other guests. Considering the price, though, it was a good value for a last-minute getaway.

We enjoyed our stay in a two-bedroom static van, which was clean and had central heating, making it comfortable. The location is peaceful with helpful amenities nearby, but the clubhouse didn’t serve food, and we had to walk a bit to find dining options. The value for money was decent, though some of the facilities could use improvement.

Rooms

The static van was immaculate and well-equipped, but we found the cutlery and mugs lacking for a six-person accommodation.

We had an incredible time during our stay! The campsite was well-kept and clean, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. However, we faced a few issues with loud neighbors late at night which disrupted our peace. Overall, it was a great experience, especially with the ongoing improvements to the facilities.

The site we stayed on was clean, but it was on a slope, making it challenging to set up our awning.

Service

The staff were helpful when we needed to change pitches due to the slope, but one member was less accommodating.

Location

The campsite is in a tranquil area next to an open field with local wildlife, which was lovely but not ideal for setting up an awning.

I had a mixed experience staying here. The site has potential with its current renovations, and we enjoyed easy access to Beamish, which was a highlight for our family. However, some facilities felt outdated, and one staff member's attitude was off-putting. Despite these issues, the overall value for the location is reasonable, especially with the discount for the museum.

The pitches were okay but could really use some maintenance. We did notice some were in better shape than others.

Service

We received a warm welcome initially, but one staff member in the bar was quite rude when we asked to watch a football game. This left a bad taste in what could've been a more enjoyable time.

Location

The location is fantastic for visiting Beamish, as it's just a mile away, making it very convenient for families.

The facilities are functional but in need of some updates. The new toilet block is a step in the right direction, but several areas still feel tired.

5.0/10

My stay was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the lovely countryside setting and the friendly atmosphere from fellow campers, I was disappointed by the poorly maintained facilities and the challenging access roads. It felt like the site overpromised on its amenities and accessibility, especially for families or disabled guests. Overall, the value didn’t quite match the expectations set by the advertised ratings.

Rooms

The pitch I was given was limited and unable to accommodate my awning comfortably, which was pretty frustrating.

Service

Staff were helpful in moving me to a better pitch after I voiced my concerns, but one response felt dismissive.

Location

While close to Beamish, the access roads are quite narrow and tricky, which made walking to the site feel unsafe.
