  • Friendly, quiet Northumberland site 15 minutes’ walk to Hadrian’s Wall
  • C2C and Pennine Way five minutes’ drive; Roman museums 10 minutes
  • Abundant wildlife; dogs welcome; essentials shop and morning café
You’re guaranteed the warmest of welcomes at Hadrian’s Wall Campsite, a peaceful spot edging the spectacular Northumberland National Park in the Tyne Valley. And what else are you guaranteed? An equally friendly greeting for any accompanying dogs, great views from everywhere on site, quiet downtime for you and your family and – on clear nights – a multitude of stars twinkling in the heavens of this dark skies reserve. Here you can also wake up to birdsong, walk to Hadrian’s Wall in 15 minutes, complete sections of the Coast to Coast Cycle Route (C2C) or the Pennine Way, and get back to your pitch in time to catch colourful skies as the sun sets behind the hills. If you’d rather simply chill amid nature during the day, the site’s abundant wildlife makes it a great place for spotting hedgehogs, stoats and wild rabbits. Essentials are sold in the small site shop, along with tasty locally made biscuits, chutneys, jams and ice cream. A café opens in the morning and does a roaring trade in breakfast rolls made with sausages, eggs and bacon from the butcher in Haltwhistle, 10 minutes’ drive away – wash them down with Northumberland-roasted barista coffee and milk from a neighbouring farm. Spotless showers, a washing-up area, a fridge and freezer, and a laundry with washer and dryer complete the roster of on-site facilities.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Easy to find and site access. Lovely welcome and introduction and very good pitch. Water and electricity close by. Nice and quiet especially in the evening. Clean toilets and showers. Didn't use the small shop but seemed to have plenty of basic items. Good hardstanding and grass area.

Disliked: Perhaps have a printed map of the site including position of chemical toilet drain and grey water drainage.
Maybe have more than one grey waste drain to avoid having to either unplug and drive down or carrying heavy containers to empty some without needing to empty the whole tank ( down and up hill for us).

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (secluded)

Liked: Beautiful location, a warm welcome and great facilities - the showers and toilets were sparkling clean and warm. Couldn't have asked for more on my inaugural trip in my campervan. Shame they're not able to influence the weather! Although the night was clear, so the dark skies were lit up with stars.

Disliked: Nothing - it was exactly what I wanted.

Local attractions

Many of Northumberland’s attractions are within easy walking or cycling distance; you can access both the C2C and the Pennine Way under five minutes away by car at Once Brewed, while the Northumberland 250 driving route, taking in the national park and the coastline, is about the same distance away. You are in pole position to explore Hadrian’s Wall too – it’s barely 15 minutes’ walk away, bringing with it stunning views over Northumberland’s wild fells and valleys. A trifecta of fascinating museums includes Vindolanda Roman Museum, where you can explore the remains of a Roman village; Housesteads Roman Fort – Vercovicium has sprawling relics from a hilltop fort; and the Roman Army Museum (all within 10 minutes’ drive) offers up immersive displays on ancient Roman life at Hadrian’s Wall. If the kids are rebelling against all that history, try them on the “Shaun the Sheep” art trail and the engaging wildlife exhibits at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre (five minutes).
