Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Toilet and showers were very clean (one of the best facilities we have had in 12 years of touring).
Cafe/Bar was nice and bright and the food very nice.
Our Grandson loved the animals and the play ground.
Disliked Grey water disposal was not at ground level, but required lifting the waste master up into the chemical waste site. (unless we failed to find the correct drain).

Excellent site with lovely staff.
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked We were welcomed by the lovely friendly staff and checked in easily and quickly. The site is lovely. Everywhere was spotless and the pitches are are huge. We had only one slightly negative comment with the dish washing area, some of the hot taps weren't working. We tried the restaurant, the food was lovely.
We will definitely return and recommend this site.

Could not of asked for better. Price was pretty much the same
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Excellent stay. All staff extremely friendly. Loved the animal park and kids area which was included in the price of the stay. Cafe that turned into a bar and restaurant on a night. Cakes in the cafe looked amazing. First thoughts were the menu on a night was limited but best cheese burger and chips I’ve had. Toilets and showers were spot on. Super clean, proper shower with loads of space to move. Location for us was perfect. Bishop Auckland 6 minutes away. Raby castle 10 minutes another direction, Hamsterly Forest 10 minutes opposite direction.
Sorry didn’t try the WiFi. We had a good 5g signal and TV tuned into 128 channels which was brilliant and most unusual. Didn’t need the WiFi

Good site
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked - Nice sized pitch overlooking a grassed area
- Well maintained grass areas
- Toilets kept clean
- Paddocks were great for feeding animals
- Great play area for 3 year old
- Cafe has amazing food reasonably priced
- Good communication by email
- Nice view
- Lots of activities in area
- Great effort with Easter egg hunt
Disliked - Lots of miss communication
Welcome email advises 2 different times for arrival. Emailed to clarify no reply received
When we arrived we were told to report to the cafe on the email. However, several staff came out to meet us but missed the driver in the cafe
- We were put on the wrong pitch initially so a bit of faff to relocate
- Only 1/3 gents toilet cubicles open in main block
- You can only see the stunning view from caravan when site not full. Pitches should have been set up at a different angle
- Lots of worm bug things when pulled up awning floor but only had one in awning during stay
- Would be good to have clearer notice board with times things are open and any activities going on
