Peaceful site

  • Peaceful, eco-friendly rural site in Northumberland National Park
  • A 20-minute drive to Hadrian's Wall; 25 minutes to Hexham
  • Next to Wark Forest for gravel cycling; village play area a short walk
Hexham in one direction, Kielder Water in the other – and here, around halfway between the two, on the edge of Wark Forest, is Stonehaugh Campsite, a fabulously peaceful spot from which to explore the many attractions of Northumberland. It’s safe to say that this is a very well located site, surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the Northumberland National Park and within easy reach of both Newcastle and Hadrian’s Wall. Closer to home, there’s some great gravel cycling in neighbouring Wark Forest, and access to lots of walking and cycling trails including the Pennine Way and North Pennine Cycle Route (NCN 68). There’s an interesting history to the local village, Stonehaugh (pronounced Stone-hoff) – it was designed in the 1950s as a village for Forestry Commission workers, but only 34 of the planned 250 houses were ever built. That means it’s not big enough to support a shop or pub, so it's worth stocking up on supplies while passing through Hexham or Bellingham (both about 25 minutes’ drive away). The site also has a small shop selling essentials, including milk, pot noodles and biscuits. Other facilities on site include a bathroom block (powered by a wind turbine and with solar-heated water), drinking water taps, a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area. There are picnic tables on site, and more at the nearby Warksburn picnic area (10 minutes’ walk), where you can have a paddle in the burn too. Also a short walk away are the village play area and the village hall, which has a social club that’s open in the evening from Friday to Sunday.

What customers say

This peaceful, well-maintained campsite in a beautiful location is praised for its immaculate, level pitches, friendly hosts, and eco-friendly facilities powered by solar and wind. Guests enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, ample space, and suitability for stargazing. Some found the toilets and showers dated but clean. While midges were a noted issue, and a playground was missed, overall, it's considered excellent value and ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site it self is fantastic, the staff are very friendly and help as much as they can the facilities are more than ample with showers in both the male and female toilets. There is washing facilities for your pots and pans as well as waste water and chemical waste drains. The pitch size is bigger than we were expecting and felt very safe on site. There is a park not far from the site located in Keilder Forrest and a social club which is open on weekends. They do have a shop at reception where you can get supplies if needed (gas etc) and beautiful view of the Sky as there is no light pollution brilliant for star gazing.
