Hardstanding and grass pitches
Pub at the front of campsite available for food and drinks
Beer garden

There’s much to see and do in County Durham, so it’s only right that you pick a nice base to unwind after a day’s exploration. And a very good choice would be Hammer and Pincers Caravan and Campsite, a laidback spot barely five minutes’ drive from Newton Aycliffe and with one very important USP… It has pedestrian access to the Hammer and Pincers (closed on Mondays, and open at varied times in the afternoon and/or evening), a pub with a restaurant and a spacious beer garden, where you can dodge any self-catering issues with a menu of good home-cooked food for lunch and evening meals. The site has well-kept grass pitches tucked in between the trees and surrounded by scenic countryside. There is a convenient facilities block with showers, loos and a washing-up. If you’re after entertainment, there’s an occasional schedule of live music events at the pub. A trainline runs along the bottom of the site, so there is some noise around the site. Supermarkets, shops and a train station are just over in Newton Aycliffe, five minutes' drive away. Here, you're only a 35- to 40-minute drive from the seaside towns of Hartlepool and Seaham, too. More inland, the boundaries of the North Pennines National Landscape are half an hour's drive away.

Qué opinan los clientes

Acogedor camping pequeño con pub popular. El personal es amable y servicial. Instalaciones limpias, aunque algo anticuadas. Ruido del tren y bodas ocasionales pueden ser molestos. Parcelas a veces irregulares. Buena relación calidad-precio, ideal para paradas.

Me gustó Easy to get on site, given a choice of pitch to allow us to set up where we felt comfortable. Hooked up to electric quickly.
Shower and toilets always very clean during our stay.
Nice pub on site and food was lovely and reasonably priced.
Basic site but worked well for our short.
Friendly people on site.

Parcela de suelo duro con electricidad opcional

Me gustó Mens shower was hot
The weather was amazing
Young lad that lives there permanently was lovely kept coming over very polite boy!
All other campers there was lovely very friendly talking everytime they passed.
5 minute driving distance to the shops.
5 minute walk to a bridge were truckers beep at children as going over my children loved that!
On 2nd day once other campers left on the Monday children had more space to play and enjoy the space.
Signal was good but can see a phone mast over the fields.

No me gustó On arrival when checking in the lady hadn't put us down for electric pitches when we choose and paid extra for that.
1 adult with us paid for his own pitch but ended sharing our pitch, so all together we paid for 2 pitches but only had one.
Seamed very disorganised unsure on where to place us on the field, we were placed on a cramped corner for 3 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs.
Placed right next to electric hook ups constantly beeping, dogs getting stuck around.
Hardly any space on first day for the children to move around.
No privacy at all when the field was busy people just walking through our chairs.
One 2nd day children that live there permanently where aimed BB guns at my children flying past them sat on chairs with electric scooters.
Followed my children around when they were collecting sticks telling them to put them back as they are not aloud to collect sticks.
Told by the maintenance man when washing dishes that we need to stop using so much water, and bring a dish over to wash up in.
The noise from the trains were not that bad is was the A1 motor way keeps you up all night sounds like an helicopter hoovering over the tent.
There was a wedding on the 2nd day music was blasting till midnight.
Both nights noone hardly slept due to noise.
Wouldn't stay here again, no good for families no peace or nothing.
Shower and toilets need to be updated there's windows that offer no privacy.
Womans shower doors have gaps either side so people can see striaght in when your showering.
Hardly any space for children to play at all.

Parcela de suelo duro con electricidad opcional

Me gustó Lovely friendly staff. Pub looked very inviting but we didn’t use in the end. Quite basic but that’s fine we were only there one night.
Lots of reviews about train noise but it really wasn’t that bad
I didn’t use the shower or toilet as I used our own so cannot comment on those.

No me gustó The only thing was having to put the electric on a card don’t get that when you could charge extra for electric.

Parcela de césped sin electricidad

Me gustó I stayed here for just one night with my two children and we really enjoyed it. The site is very affordable, very clean, and in a great location with supermarkets only a few minutes away.

The owners were pleasant and welcoming, although I didn’t interact with them much. I was to busy having fun with my children. There are two beautiful ponies in a nearby field – no noise or farm smell at all, just lovely to watch while camping. A few ducks wander around the site too, again no bother, just nice to see.

I felt completely safe with the children, and they had an absolute blast exploring and playing. It was a short stay this time, but I would definitely book again if we come back to the area.

No me gustó I have nothing to complain about.

Me gustó Toilets and showers were clean and easily accessible.

Owners we're very friendly and helpful.

The pub onsite was lovely and had a great atmosphere with a good choice of food and drinks.

No me gustó Sewage pipe running along the site was very smelly.

Paying for electric on a top-up basis was a little inconvenient but the owners were great and coming down and topping it up.

Parcela de césped sin electricidad

Me gustó Friendly staff and decent pub food.

No me gustó The field was littered with cigarette butts and bottle caps, and there was an abandoned airbed, metal railings and traffic cone and an old wheel lying around which made the site look really scruffy. The field was also a slope which wasn’t ideal for pitching tents.

Me gustó fantastic location just by the A1M, with a cheerful community pub on site, which opens at the weekends with reasonably priced meals. The pub has a venue at the back which some campers had hired on Saturday night.

No me gustó Whilst this is a perfect site for a stop off it wouldn't be my choice for a longer holiday. The campervan pitches are in a small area in the middle of the field with no privacy between units, with permanent users being around the edge of the field. Facilities whilst more than adequate for a stop-over were limited for longer stays.

Lugares de interés

There are loads of outdoor activities to keep the family happy: golfers can be out on the greens within 15 minutes’ drive, and there’s much alfresco fun to be had on wakeboards or kayaking at the North East Wake Park (10 minutes’ drive). There are plenty of options of a cultural nature in the region too. Raby Castle, Park and Gardens (25 minutes) has tours of opulent interiors, fabulous gardens, a kids’ adventure playground and a deer park for family walks. Visit The Bowes Museum (35 minutes) for its important collection of Spanish paintings, and in summer, book tickets for the historic outdoor extravaganza ‘Kynren’ in Bishop Auckland (15 minutes). If the kids are not objecting to all the history, set off for Durham (25 minutes) to explore the UNESCO-listed cathedral and castle. However, if tiny tempers are getting fractious, make a detour to Adventure Valley (35 minutes) for an afternoon of blowing cobwebs away on the crazy golf course and go-kart track.
