Customer service is the name of the game at The High Hermitage Holiday Park, a peaceful place in the Northumberland countryside where staff are always on hand to deal with queries or concerns, and to keep the amenities up to high standards. The landscape includes ancient woodland and the site's own stream, Kitty's Burn, all in a wildlife haven a short walk from the village of Ovingham via a few friendly local pubs. Many guests use the park as a base for the Northumberland coast; other famed destinations like Hadrian's Wall and Alnwick Castle are within easy reach. The High Hermitage is less than a mile from Prudhoe railway station, where you can access trains to Newcastle, Carlisle, Hexham and Glasgow. Fishing is available on site; pick up a permit at reception.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nothing.

Disliked: It's not a campsite it's a building site is have contacted Maguires and pitch up for a refund and not heard anything back.
It's dirty and poor facilities no disabled access to showers and toilets. The workmen were digging right in front of us from 8am with noisy heavy machinery there is only one shower each for male and female and their old and dirty.
It was the most expensive site of the 12 sites in a row we book on our roadtrip and that includes the 2 other maguires sites we stayed at. There is no staff only Gordon who is a nice enough fella and lives on site in a motor home.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Pitch good with gravel and grass generous side.

Disliked: sanitary facilities unacceptable for a large campground, loose tiles in shower with water seeping through, very low pressure when anything more than one tap is opened. No dishwashing facilities, only a cleaners sink available.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Location - 20 mins walk to train station and nice couple of villages / parks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very quiet.

Disliked: Pricey for below average facilities. Toilet block dated, shower was a trickle. View not great. Should be half the price for what's there currently. It looks like they are developing, a little shop for basics would be nice. And toilet block needs improving. Half the price would have been happy but you can find much more beautiful spots near by with better facilities.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Peaceful setting, clean but simple facilities, relaxed environment.friendly warden. Good location

Disliked: Expensive. No washing up facilities. Gents had 1 toilet so husband had to queue even when the site was quiet. £36 a night inc.dog. for a view of building site as Park is creating a static caravan site.

ANDREW H. Jun 2025

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The arrangement so the bus stopped right outside (not at an official bus stop)

Disliked: Total lack of expected river view. Earth-moving machinery on site, active from 8.00 each morning. Out-dated toilet facilities, and no washing-up station. the fact that quite obviously campervans and caravans were not really wanted, and that static chalets were vastly more important (as well as being increased in number).

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The serviced pitches were high standard, fully serviced, gravel pitches. Gordon was onsite to welcome us, he was friendly and approachable and was always around for any questions. The site is a lovely tranquil site, a little haven out of the way of hustle and bustle

Disliked: Currently the site is having some upgrades. Hopefully the toilets will be included in this. They are very dated and down some steep steps which might put less mobile people off using them.

Local attractions

The nearby town of Prudhoe, about 11 miles from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, has a Norman castle and a waterpark as well as access to the old Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, now the Tyne Valley Line and still running regularly between the two cities. If you're anywhere around this part of England, a must-see is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, the most visited destination in the north of England, running for about 73 miles across the north of England from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend, across the North Pennines, and along Northumberland National Park. The wall has several Roman sites along its length, including Housesteads Roman fort, the most complete Roman fort in Britain; eight forts and live excavations at the Roman Army Museum and Roman Vindolanda, and Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum. Paintball, quad biking, go karting, offroad 4x4 driving and a Go Ape! are all available locally. A shopping centre is 20 minutes away.
