 Excellent small site just off A69 trunk road between Haltwhistle and Haydon Bridge. Bardon Mill opposite has bus stops and a train station for those who want to visit Carlisle / Newcastle / Hexham etc. But you have to cross busy A69 to get there! Caution required!
Great views from all pitches across the valley looking towards Alston. Very good, clean toilet /shower block with adjoining washing up area plus waste disposal point.
All flat gravel pitches have drainage points and grassed areas between pitches are mowed regularly. Site owner Jeff is always available for a friendly chat and is a book of knowledge of the local area. He is a very genuine and caring owner who puts in a lot of effort to make sure your stay is as welcoming as possible.
Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy!
Will most definitely return to this C&C Club site.

The site is easy to find and very accessible from the main road (the A69). All 7 pitches are hard standings with grey waste drain and electric hook ups.
There is a small toilet block with two toilets and a shower. There is an Elsender point, a washing up area and two drinking water points.
The site is secure, well maintained and quiet. There is road noise and you are exposed to wind but the owners of the site are helpful and friendly. The amenities are clean and modern.
If you want an escape from the week’s work routine it’s just the ticket with views and walks on the doorstep.

We cannot express how good this site was. From the great host, Geoff who was available seemingly 24/7, nothing was too much trouble.
He was friendly, chatty, informative and helpful. Just a phone call away. He worked with his staff just about every aspect of the running of the site and constantly made sure you were satisfied every step of the way.
The site holds about 12 units, tents, caravans, motorhomes and site is kept immaculately. If he is not helping clean the toilets, emptying the bins he is waving as he rides by on the mower. He is accommodating with children with his farm, donkeys, goats (including pygmy), chickens and welcomes you with a half dozen eggs. Brilliant stay.
It is rural, on a hill and therefore exposed to windy weather but we thought it was fabulous. Walking distance of Bardon Mill where they have the best Roast Dinners at the Bowes Hotel and a very welcoming crew there.
The Mill itself is a must see. There is a bus we noticed that runs through the village No. 685 which runs from Carlisle to Newcastle. We are definitely going to give that a go next time. Easy access to Roman ruins 2 miles up the road.
Hilly for cycling so a bit challenging for us oldies but we would definitely recommend this site. We will be back !

Great little site, easily accessible from the A69.
Large flat pitches with electricity. Nice toilet and shower facilities.
Good base for Hadrian’s Wall and canoeing on the North and South Tyne.
Really friendly owners.

Very difficult to add to what has already been said. This is one of the best CS Sites we have stayed on.
Big hardstanding pitches a very warm welcome from Jeff and an absolutely spotless little toilet block.
Brilliant and lots to do in the area

This is a little gem of a site. Just off the A69 (which has a couple of issues, see below) and within walking distance (uphill!) of Vindolanda, probably the most significant Roman Fort in the UK.
The site is entered via locked gates so you need to phone for the code. The site is a grass shelf facing south looking out over the South Tyne valley towards the moors above Alston. Tents go at the west end next to the donkeys (who like the long seedy grass from the camping site edges). There are no specific facilities for children.
Facilties are new and excellent. One shower and one toilet plus an additonal wheelchair accessible toilet and shower room, thee sort where you can run the wheelchair right under the shower. There is a kitchen sink at the rear of the block, lots of local info and recycling into lots of different bins. A minor minor gripe would be the need for a mirror in the shower space and for shelves for wash bags. Everything was cleaned and kept spotless.
Friendly welcome from the owber who delivered fresh eggs to all the units on site, which was a nice bonus. Despite the two small tents we were charged as a single big tent so paid £12. 00 per might (we'd paid £15. 00 per night at Wylam for 1 loo and no shower, so excellent value for money. )
Bardon Mill is the nearest village with a good small shop and cafe (fab cakes) and the Bardon Mill pottery, where you can walk inside an industrial size kiln/museum. You can walk down to the river footbridge to watch the fish. The hotel in the village does evening meals Wednesday to Saturday plus Sunday lunch which was annoying as we arrived Sunday afternoon and left on Tuesday! However, up the hill near Hadrian's Wall is the Twice Brewed Inn which does good pub food and their own beers.
We chose the site as it is just off national cycle route 72 Hadrian's Cycleway and so as to visit Vindolanda and Housetead forts, a hard cycle ride/push up hill but 2 miles of no pedalling after dinner at Twice Brewed pub. Haltwhistle is a 10 min drive away and has takeway indian, chinese and fish and chips.
The only snag with the site is the proximity of the A69 (the main Carlisle - Newcastle trunk road) which is well screened with trees but can be heard, although we found you tend to block out the traffic noise as background and it didn't disturb our sleep (unlike the airplanes at Wylam and the sheep at Banks!) The other snag is that to get to the village you either walk the long way round approximately 1 mile to get under the road at a bridge or have to cross it on the flat, which is possible, but you are crossing a 60 mph 2 lane road so wait for gaps carefully. A real shame there's no footbridge. On the A69 if you cross is a Starbucks "Services" which we didn't use, but might be handy. The petrol station on the same side of the road as the campsite is being redeveloped, so if that gains a shop or cafe, then that would be easily accessed.
Don't let that last bit put you off. This was the best site of the four we stayed at on our cycling holiday and we would definitely stay again. Highly recommended.

We could not fault this site. Jeff the owner is still working yet maintains the site very well.
The grass is neatly cut, and everything is clean. Jeff welcomed us with a box of eggs and told us everything we wanted to know.
He also came and said goodbye before we left.
A brilliant site
