  • Well-maintained small rural Northumberland touring site
  • Kielder Water, Alnwick and Newcastle within a 40-minute drive
  • Dog-friendly site with peaceful pitches; great area for walking
Historic estates, castles, Roman walls and miles of spectacular Northumberland countryside… that’s some of what’s in store nearby when you put down roots at Elf Hills Farm in rural Northumberland. This may be a small place (with just a handful of pitches on site), but it is also a rather well-located one… Near the village of Cambo, this site is in a fine spot for days of walking, either in the nearby Northumberland National Park, in the area around Kielder Water or over at the coast (you can’t go wrong with any choice, really). As for those history buffs among you, there’s plenty of that around too, in the form of National Trust properties, Hexham Abbey and the Roman attractions of Hadrian’s Wall. You might even like to throw in a bit of urban time in the centre of Newcastle, 40 minutes’ drive away. Whatever you choose to fill your days with, you’ll be coming back to a peaceful site where the pitches are pleasingly spacious and have access to mains water, chemical disposal and electric hookups. Dogs are welcome too, and barbecues are permitted on site. There are also a couple of pubs about 15 minutes’ drive away if you fancy eating out.

Great little site here with good access and everything you need.
Warden welcoming and helpful, helping my oldest son put the caravan onto the pitch with the mover and helping me with a dug-in jockey wheel when setting off. Would recommend Elf Hills to anyone and will definitely be returning soon.

Liked: Jon the warden at Elf Hills tends this gorgeous site like a work of art! He was a super host and got back to me when I Velvety grass pitches with bags of space. The flowers and twinkly lights are so special. Small and very safe for younger people. Superb spot to pitch up and explore loads of local houses and castles eg Cragside. We'll be back!

Disliked: Dislike Elf Hills??? Never!

Local attractions

Live like you’re back in the old times… you may soon start to feel that way, with so many historical properties in the area surrounding Elf Hills Farm. Stroll the grounds of a Victorian villa at the National Trust’s Wallington (10 minutes’ drive), explore the Victorian rooms and tools at the National Trust’s Cragside (25 minutes) or have a good lose-yourself type of wander around the large Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens (15 minutes). More historical sites aren’t far off either – perhaps the Chesters Roman Fort and Museum (25 minutes) or Vindolanda (40 minutes), another Roman site, for a look at a whole different time period? Alnwick Castle (40 minutes), where there are Harry Potter-themed activities? Hexham Abbey (35 minutes), a Grade I-listed location? Set your sights on the stars instead at Battlesteads Public Observatory (half an hour). By daylight, it's easy to pick up the pace with cycles, walks and wildlife spotting around the lake at Kielder Water (35 minutes). In Newcastle upon Tyne (40 minutes), you’ll get a taste of the city life, and some cool landmarks, such as the 12th-century castle, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the Quayside.
