 A great little farm site situated right on the remains of Hadrians Wall.
We had a most enjoyable stopover there on our way to Scotland this year.
It's CCC certified but would imagine might accept non members if not busy - and they weren't when we stayed - so worth a call to check. Am quite certain they wouldn't be looking down their noses at self build van conversions either.
Was a flat price of £16 inc ehu (Summer 2016) for two adults, 1 x dog and our 5. 9m motorhome.
Owner is a friendly and helpful working farmer. His retired farmer father also meets and greets.
Good walks from the doorstep. Ask about route through the farm to an excellent linear or circular walk.
It's a small site, just five or so spacious level pitches in a field w open views across farmland, set just by the farm - and the bungalow the farmer's father lives in.
Hardstanding pitches for campers/motorhomes w access to some over surrounding closely mown, firm, grassed areas and informal grass spaces for tents also available.
Portacabin facilities are simple but everything is there, works efficiently and all is kept spotless.
Also has water and waste facilities; with rubbish and recycling bins all neatly stored in a covered area by washing up facility.
Lovely touch is that there's even a little information room with maps, leaflets and local info :-).
We took a photo of part of the wall map to guide our circular morning walk which included a section of the remains of Hadrians Wall. Not much actual wall to see but definite dykes, ditches and venerable plantings to be remarked upon and great views. We had a great couple of hours walking, prior to driving on northwards.
Another plus, if you are an aviation buff, is that Solway Aviation Museum, with a Vulcan you can climb into, is not many minutes drive away.
Yes, a thoroughly recommended cared for simple site - just the type we like.

What a cracking little site this is. Only very few pitches and in August it wasn't full either! The pitches are flat with a few hard standing areas for vans. There is a little 'Unisex' shower \ wash up block. You might need to queue to use the single shower if the site is full. The welcome we received was fantastic and Andrew, the farmer, came round a couple of times to see how we were getting on.
Hadrian's Wall runs at the back of the farm, but there's not much of it left to see, you don't need to travel far to see a part of the wall that is more intact.
We did a great walk through Gelt Woods, and near the end of it, we were greeted with almost a hundred 'twitchers' trying to spot nesting Bee-Eaters in the quarry.
Nearby there a great gastro pub called the Golden Fleece, a little pricey but the food was just amazing, never had such a good meal & service for a long time.

Small pleasant site. Showers clean and warm. We stopped here on way to Scotland so cant really comment on what to do in area. I couldn't see anything on the leaflets that looked nearby though. No leaflets about Scotland at all, and its just over the border!
The only complaint I have is that I was expecting to find Hadrians Wall on site. I mean they mention it don't they! Well you will be disappointed if you are expecting a bit of wall. It is more like Hadrians Mound. A length of raised land where the wall use to be. A few stones on the ground at one end, which I suppose could be part of the wall. I was disappointed anyway.
Otherwise not a bad little place.

Lovely little site; the owners have gone to great lengths to make it welcoming and appealing; The facilities are spotless and very well appointed; however if the site was full they may prove a little inadequate as there is only one shower and two toilets (one of which is disabled friendly)
Very handy for Hadrians Wall LDP as it runs across the back of the farm yard- don't expect a stone wall like at Housteads though- its just really a raised ridge.
To be recommended. Excellent !

Just spent 2 nights at this lovely, quiet CL near Brampton. Read all the reviews before booking, and found all the previous comments to be very accurate. This really is a fabulous CL which is very well managed by owners Andrew and his wife, Leigh. Given a very friendly welcome and visited later on site by owners to check all was well. Nothing at all to complain about here, toilet and shower room was always warm and kept very clean, hair dryer and straighteners are a nice touch for anyone wishing to use them. Pitches are of good size, flat & well spaced out. Any one of the pitches would have been more than adequate for our large twin axle caravan. Site is very well situated just off A689 Carlisle to Brampton and only 10 minutes or so from M6. Highly recommended CL and certainly would consider this site for another visit. Well done to the owners for their friendliness and superb efforts in keeping this CL to such high standards.

What a gem of a site very easy to find off M6 but far enough away from it. Arrived on site and details are there waiting for you choose a pitch set up and relax. Shower/toilet (two one disabled access) are spotless with everything you would need including hand wash (nice touch. The owner came round to welcome us when he had finished his farming duties nice man explained everything and pointed out route to Hadrian's wall (which is actually on the farm. ) There was no down side to this site at all I would recommend this one to all including families. Plenty of nice Flat walks from the site and a nice wide grass verge to road outside for dog walk morn and night.

We returned to this site for 2 nights after only spending one night here last year. This is a lovely site which is of a very high standard. There is a small toilet block with a shower and two toilets. The shower is lovely and warm with a sink and mirror inside and a large area for getting changed. The hard standing pitches are level and on arrival you simply select a free pitch. There's a small information room with plenty of leaflets. We spent a day in Carlisle which is only a short drive from the site and also visited a nearby garden centre. Brampton has a few shops should you need anything and a Co Op. The owner greeted us on arrival and is a friendly gentleman, also returning the following evening to ensure we were happy and hadn't had any problems. Can't wait to return!

This is a terrific site, with hardstanding, which we asked for as the last place we stayed we had to be towed out with a tractor, the ground was so sodden. But even if we had opted for grass, it would have been fine as it drains well. The ground is flat, the views are great, and Andy the owner is very helpful. At his suggestion we took a walk around the farm, actually walking on top of Hadrians Wall.
This was quite a find, and we were lucky that someone cancelled so that we could stay two nights, and see the local sites/sights.
Highly recommend.

Just returned from this lovely little site where we enjoyed 3 lovely nights over the Easter weekend. Met on arrival by Leigh who advised us that we could pitch wherever we want to and not to worry about payment until we were all set up. The information sheet provided on arrival in the information room made suggestions on emergency doctors, tourist information and local take aways which would deliver to site for a small fee! This was very useful indeed.
Andrew came round later in the day to check everything was ok.
The toilet block consisted of two sinks with very hot water, two toilets and a shower. In addition there was also a hairdryer and straighteners available all of which had no additional charge payable. We only had to wait once for a shower. External to the toilets and shower was the under cover pot wash area, along with various recycling bins.
Andrew, and his dad David, took time out of their busy schedule to show us round the farm. All of us thoroughly enjoyed this, especially being able to hold the new born lambs. This memory will stay with the children for a long time.
No playground for the children but that didn't really bother them.
Overall, a fantastic little family run site and at £19 per night, over Easter, with electric hook up, very reasonably priced too. We will return.

This is a wonderful little site and the owners couldn't be more helpful. It is in a peaceful spot but still handy for the M6 or for exploring Cumbria. The facilities were excellent for a small site and there is plenty of space along the quiet lane to walk dogs. We walked part of the Hadrian's wall walk and back again to site - a beautiful part of the country. The only thing to bear in mind is that although they are hard standing pitches you have to drive over grass to get to them. Nevertheless despite the previous wet weather we didn't actually have a problem and in any case the owners would have been quite ready with a tow if necessary.
