 Stayed here for 3 nights for the Persoids. This was perfect for us as when it got dark we had a fantastic view.
If you turn left when you come out the campsite, there's a pub along the road, not far to walk, just remember to take a torch as walking back its very dark. My hubby had a head lamp.
The pub if you turn right from the campsite is quite away to walk
The site caters for a variety of people no matter how big or small your tent or vehicle is and they welcome hikers as well
The showers and toilets are top rate when it has been a rainy and windy night. My Husband and I found this a welcome relief
There are two porta loos which we used during the night, as it is quite a walk to the toilets in the shower block.
There were a few picnic tables dotted around, we dragged one to where we were camped
Bins for rubbish were within easy reach
We only used the shop once when we got there to buy milk. The cafe had a few tables in it
The owner came round on a morning and said hello One time he asked if we were okay as it was quite hairy on the Saturday night with the wind and rain
Now we have been to this site twice and both times we really enjoyed it

Although this is a fairly basic campsite, we chose it for it's beautiful setting near to Hadrian's Wall and although the site is alongside the Military Road, this wasn't a problem for us, we hardly noticed the traffic. The views of the surrounding countryside were spectacular and we initially intended to stay for a week but unfortunately we had to leave after one night because of a noisy group of young people, drinking and playing loud music into the night! Such a shame that a few can spoil it for the many and go unchecked!

Very pleased with service. I arrived at about 1900hrs after a gruelling hike. Owners of site were very friendly and pleased to see me. Very good facilities and welcome. Hot showers. Very family friendly and has some outstanding views and walks. Toilets are kept clean every day. Owner has a ride around on his quad bike in the mornings to see if everyone is ok. Good pub only a few yards away, does top bar meals. Also good access to various parts of the wall including steel rigg, sycamore gap and housteads.

When we first arrived we handed in money for our group but felt like our reception was not the warmest and owners seemed unsure. Facilities were okay they were open through the night and were fairly clean, shower was a decent size. The pub down the road was useful as we were able to go out and it was a great place to watch the football and have a drink. The camping field was a good size and we were able to play with the football that they provided which was good. Overall the cafe was fairly expensive so probably should have avoided that and we did not see the owners a lot, I may return but I do think I can find better.

Great little site just off Hadrian's Wall and perfect whilst trekking the HW path. Camping field near to main road, although not too busy at night.
Toilet, shower and other facilities shared with small bunkhouse, but all spotless. Lovely shower, very welcome after a wet day walking. Drying room on site, brilliant for those wet clothes.
Owners are very welcoming and operate a small cafe on site where you can get a breakfast etc. Twice Brewed Inn a short walk away for your evening meal and entertainment. £6 per night.

Stayed for 2 nights over the Jubilee weekend with my family and had a lovely time. The site was very welcoming and although quite basic, perfect for what we wanted. There is plenty of space with 3 good sized fields and although there were limited amenities for both male and females we never had to wait for bathroom space.
Haltwhistle is only a 5-10min drive down the road with good shopping facilities for supplies. We had a trip to Hexham which was lovely also and roughly 20mins drive.
Hadrian’s wall is a 1/2 mile walk up the footpath at the side of the camp and I believe is at its highest peak with breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside!
The Twice brewed pub down the road is a perfect place to keep warm in the early evening. Drinks were reasonable although we found the menu to be quite pricey and therefore chose not to eat there.
I would definitely go back, great value for money, friendly staff and fab location.

When I first arrived I wasn't sure about this place because it's next to a main road and quite exposed. But I really like it. Arrived after a day of cycling and the owner kept the tea room open longer so we could have tea and cake.
We found a nice flat pitch with a view of Hadrian's wall. There are three fields to camp in so although there are slopes you're bound to find a flat pitch.
Also there a few portaloos scattered around which saves walking back to the farm where the toilet block is. Facilities aren't fancy but they do the job.
There are only two showers so there was a bit of queue. Best for me was the cooked breakfast in the morning in the tea room. Great to start another day of cycling.
It's a family run affair (grandma-granddaughter) and they're friendly folk. The Twice Brewed pub is excellent for real ales and the menu looked good too (though a little pricey), friendly staff too with a congrgation of walkers, locals, and tourists.
Great location to Hadrian's wall, Vindolanda and the Once Brewed Tourist Information centre.

Planned to stay for three nights but only went for one in the end. Location is excellent only a few minutes from best bits of the wall.
Noisy campers and sloping pitch put us off any longer stay, facilities OK they consist of 2 showers/sinks and toilets, cafe rather expensive.
You are paying for location at this one. Steep 15 minutes to wall but great starting point.
Plenty of room and most people were hikers staying for one night, road quite noisy but cars/lorries rare.
Pub serves good food (desserts rather expensive for what you get). Had to wait for a table, WiFi not working at my visit.

I was hiking the Hadrian's Wall path, so this was my intended stop for the Steel Rigg overnight stay. It's about half a mile off the path (you need to come down from the crag), and is very big.
Owners very pleasant. For a campground with 60 pitches, they could probably do with a few more facilities. Only two showers. There is a toilet block, and there are some portaloos dotted around the place.
A lot of the campspace is sloping; I guess that's fine if you are in a caravan. The views are brilliant.
They have a tearoom, which offers breakfast to campers in the mornings.

The camping ground is in an ideal location for the Twice Brewed Pub which serves great food and beer. The campsite itself is large with plenty of space and easy access to Hadrians Wall. There is also a small tea room/reception that serves good food at reasonable prices just what you need with a hard days walking in front of you. However the toilets and showers looked as though they had not been cleaned for some considerable time. The portable toilets that are dotted around the site were overflowing with solid waste. The state of the toilets and showers let the whole campsite down, it could be a excellent place to stay for a few days but one night was more than enough. We had stayed at a number of small very basic campsites before this and all were very clean, so in my opinion the owners need to sort the sanitary arrangements.
