  • Peaceful hilltop campsite with spectacular views of the Tyne Valley
  • A 20-minute drive to Derwent Reservoir; Newcastle-upon-Tyne 30 minutes
  • Dark sky site for stargazing; gastropub five minutes' walk away
Sitting on the edge of the sleepy village of Hedley on the Hill, Valley View Camping has a spectacular setting overlooking the lovely Tyne Valley, with a west-facing position that's splendid for watching the sunset. The grass pitches are on a level field with masses of space for games and activities, so kids can let off steam safely (perhaps flying one of the kites available to borrow on site) – and it's dog-friendly too, so your pooch can join you on your break. This is a great spot for walkers, with footpaths starting right from the field, where you might get to see buzzards and rare red kites riding the thermals overhead. Cyclists, you can test yourselves on the demanding National Hill-Climb Championships course that ran up into the village from Stocksfield in 2017. What’s provided? Portable toilets and thoughtful extras like complimentary drinking water, tea, coffee and raw (unpasteurised) milk fresh from the dairy herd in the cattle trailer, along with a sandpit for the kids. All pitches have a firepit, and logs are available to buy on site. An award-winning gastropub is less than a five-minute walk away in the village, with a fire kitchen and takeaway service. Just down the hill in Stocksfield, there are regular weekend food trucks at the cricket club and local pub. Stocksfield, Mickley and Prudhoe (10 minutes’ drive) have handy local stores where you can pick up goodies to enjoy around the firepit. If you'd like to take to the skies, guests also get a discounted walk-in rate at Northumbria Gliding Club, which is five minutes' drive away.

What customers say

Great wild camping spot with epic valley views and chill vibes. Hosts are legends, loos are spotless, and the pub's a quick walk. Free tea/coffee/milk, fire pits too. Can get windy, best for short stays due to basic facilities.

Liked Views are amazing. Portaloos clean. Nice touch with the drinking water/tea/coffee trailer.

Disliked Some large, very loud groups who made noise til about 3am

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are disappointed you had a disturbed night. We do try our best to keep the site peaceful. All campers receive a text message advising that we allow no loud music at any time and it's quiet time from 10pm. We checked the site at 10pm and no music was playing. The groups were all family gropus with young children themselves. When we checked they were just sitting laughing and chatting. People often don't realise they are making a noise as sound travels in the open. We are a farm, primarily, so don't have a warden. However, we do come along and speak to campers when we are notified of any problems. Unfortunately, no one let us know this time. It's our peak time and this was as busy as our site gets, it's usually much quieter and a nice family place to camp.

Excellent site with plenty of space

Liked Great location, views are amazing, pub only a short walk away and really good food.
Toilets clean and tidy at all times.
We were allocated to stay until mid morning to allow the tents to dry off, that was a really nice touch.

Disliked Not a dislike but a shower facility would make it 10/10.

Liked Beautiful views, They provided some tea, coffee and milk . You could buy a big bag of wood with firelighters for the campfire that they provided.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike about the site. We didn't use the toilet facilities so I can't comment on those.

Local attractions

What with the Tyne Riverside Country Park (20 minutes’ drive) and Northumberland National Park (30 minutes’ drive) being so close, it’s time to get those walking shoes on for bracing hikes and gorgeous views. Chopwell Woodland Park (15 minutes) has plenty of easy walks along former railway lines that suit families with young kids. Cycling trails criss-cross Northumberland, with arduous options for long-distances bikers along the Coast to Coast Path, and waterside rides around Derwent Reservoir (20 minutes), which is also a great option for anglers looking for a spot of fly fishing. Lucky old golfers are spoilt for choice too, with several courses within a 15-minute drive of base camp. The historic towns of Corbridge (20 minutes) and Hexham (30 minutes) are packed with cosy tea shops and arty boutiques, and it’s only 30 minutes into Newcastle for big-hitting attractions like the Life Science Centre and Angel of the North sculpture.
