Quiet family site surrounded by the Teesdale countryside
In the Pennine Dales, 15 minutes' drive from Barnard Castle
Set in the grounds of a traditional farmhouse; bus stop just outside

Newton Lodge Campsite is in the pretty village of Mickleton, a small spot deep in the gorgeous Teesdale countryside. Whether you're all about getting your boots on and exploring the countryside or prefer to put your feet up, this small-scale site in the grounds of a traditional farmhouse could be the one for you. This low-key site caters for families and couples and operates a low-noise policy, especially after 9pm when quiet hours come into effect. The skies get very dark here at night, giving spectacular views over the starry sky on cloudless nights, while by day there are great vistas over the adjacent Pennine Dales to admire. There is a public bus stop directly outside the property with services running to and from Middleton and Barnard Castle, including the villages in between. This site has a facilities block with a shower, two toilets, a wash room and a washing-up area.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We loved the location, the hospitality and Extras provided by host(fridge freezer, kettle, hairdryer). The friendliness of the locals, walks and peaceful surroundings. My family and I booked all pitches so didn’t hav to worry about the grandchildren having fun, making a noise and disturbing other people.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike, the pitches were on a slight incline but you adapt to it.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Small site, owner was lovely. Always something to watch with the chickens freely roaming, very clean and a well thought out site as they had a fridge and a freezer for customers use.

Disliked: The next doors Cockerells and the farm vehicles up and down the road in the early hours, you soon get used to it though.
