Views from the hadrian's wall route nearby

Family-friendly back to basics site in rural Northumberland
A five-minute drive to Heddon-on-the-Wall and Hadrian's Wall
Campfires and barbecues allowed; historic pubs and alpaca farm nearby

Dubbed Hadrian’s Wall country, this was once the land of the Romans. It's hard to imagine the world of crossbows and armour now, but timeworn battlements, fortresses, and ramparts will help you to travel back in time… In the Northumberland countryside, close to the ancient Hadrian’s Wall (could this be the longest UNESCO World Heritage Site, at 75 miles long?), Pitch on the Wall Campsite is a small, family-friendly site smack bang in the middle of Hadrian’s Wall country. Within 15 minutes’ drive of Newcastle upon Tyne and five minutes from the historic town of Heddon-on-the-Wall, this is a fine base to conquer the country Roman-style, explore its networking of hiking and cycling routes, or chase through the sloping countryside, using the wall as your guide. This a back to basics site with just running water and portable toilets, so it's a real rural Northumberland experience. It wouldn’t be right to let your pooch miss out on all this greenery, so dogs are welcome too, and noise is kept to a minimum after 11pm so you can stock up on your snoozing for another day spent out exploring. You'll be able to keep warm of an evening as campfires are allowed on site (grab a firepit on site before they all go…) with wood available for purchase. Pub grub and wholesome meals are served at several pubs and cafes with a five-minute drive, but you may prefer to pull out all the stops for a family barbecue on site. Grab all the extra buns and bits for the grill at several shops five minutes away, or simply sign up for food shopping delivered through your tent flap on site.

Liked: This campsite was absolutely perfect for our personal needs in walking along the Hadrian's Wall path. The toilet facilities were very clean and user friendly. The owner of the site could not have been more helpful and friendly.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Spacious, reasonable priced, good location for Hadrian's Wall, adquate portaloos & bins.

Disliked: Noisy: close to major A-road, which is noisy even throughout the night, also a tractor in the adjacent field was very noisy until 11pm. Airplanes overhead every hour or so through the night. Site un-manned, so noise from people partying isn't controlled.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great space and views! Toilets although portaloos were very clean. Drinking water tap on site. Firepits available to hire for £5 a night were really sturdy, we hired for one night but would definitely do it again. Wood sold were lovely seasoned logs that lit well and burned beautifully and well priced at £8:50 a bag. They took both card and cash which was very convenient. Rubbish bins on site so you don't have to cart your trash home with you. Site owners were really friendly too. A brilliant pop up seasonal campsite at great value.

Local attractions

For rural explores, wander right into the farmlands from the site, join the Hadrian’s Wall at Heddon-on-the-wall (five minutes' drive), or feed the grinning alpacas at the nearby alpaca farm (five minutes). Those who prefer to travel on two wheels can hire a bike locally, glide alongside the river at Riverside Country Park (five minutes) or tackle England's largest forest in the west, Kielder Forest, where you'll need to pedal harder and faster to catch up with wriggling red squirrels and soaring ospreys overhead. History follows you everywhere you go in this area, whether it's Hadrian's wall (five minutes), the many historical beamed pubs or the birthplace of 'the father of the railways', George Stephenson’s cottage (five minutes). For a sandier day out, visit the craggy headlands of Tynemouth (35 minutes), whip out your bodyboard for Long Sands Beach, or raise your spears for action behind the battlements of the clifftop castle overlooking the beach.
