 Great site at the edge of the forest, we were greeted by really friendly wardens and were not rushed to choose our pitch, which was a nice size and among the trees. The facilities were well placed and really clean.
We had a walk to the waterfall hareshaw linn about 2. 5 miles away, it was stunning we passed through the pretty town of Bellingham on the way.
We stayed two nights and wished we could have stayed longer.
Fab site.

Just had a lovely 2 nights at this site to start off the camping season for 2016. The wardens are absolutely lovely (a huge improvement to when we visited about 6yrs ago). Really helpful, quick check in with loads of information about the area. We were recommended a pitch but also given a choice of others if we wanted. We went with the recommendation and it was great. Immaculate site with immaculate facilities. Bellingham is a lovely village and the walk to Hareshaw Linn waterfall is well worth it - we stopped off for a little refreshment at The Cheviot Hotel on the way back which was lovely. We didn't eat there but the food looked absolutely lovely. Bellingham has everything you need. Co-op, banks, bakers, hardware store. If you forget anything, you'll be able to pick it up there, and just a 15min walk.
A lovely weekend, would definitely return.

This is a level site on the outskirts of Bellingham, which is a 15 minute walk away. The toilet and shower blocks were super clean and tidy. The playground is very small, so probably not the best site for small children.
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. You can order newspapers from the site shop which is small but well stocked, with fresh bread and eggs. There is Wi-Fi on the site, which was a bit patchy. There was no phone reception for vodaphone, but OK for orange. Washing machine costs £3. 50.
Bellingham is a lovely town with a reasonable sized Co-Op, a lovely bakers, a butchers and a great bicycle shop. The walk to Hareshaw Linn is pretty, it took us (2 adults) an hour each way from the site. Great cycling on the doorstep, especially the Reivers route which uses some gated roads so they are very quiet, but it is all very hilly, whichever direction you go in.

A stop-over on our way to Scotland, we have used Bellingham C&C Club site several times. I think that the franchisees may have changed since our last visit, but they were nonetheless welcoming. We were shown to a very convenient pitch near to the entrance which suited fine. At £17. 55 the fess were very reasonable.
Bellingham village is a modest walk away and has a selection of small shops and three pubs. We chose The Cheviot for dinner, where I was served the most enormous rack of ribs that I have ever seen!
As expected from Club facilities they were always spotless and had plenty of room.
The Reception shop sold a small selection of tinned items, and local sourced bacon and sausage - the latter were excellent! (The former wasn't bad, either).
On this instance we had to approach the village from the A68 as there had been an incident on the direct road. This can be a bit rough! Heading out to Otterburn was much better!
This site certainly deserves looking at.

We followed advice on website and used A69 coming off at the A679 past Acomb, B6318 past Chollerford onto B6320. Good B road but watch out for Steep bendy bit after Wark. Keep momentum going when towing. Good easy access into site from main road. They don't recommend roads from A68 when towing.
The people on reception are very welcoming. They spend time with you and offer lots of information. They tell you about the area, walks etc and offer leaflets. We were taken to and offered a choice of pitches. The community room with TV and kitchen facilities is good for people who need it. Toilets and showers were always very clean. Dishwashing is available. The chemical disposal is the best and cleanest I have used. The refuse areas with recycling were emptied regularly, never overflowing like some sites.
I recommend this site for older people and young families. The play area is small and nothing on site for older children, take their ipads. Nowhere to kick a ball without upsetting someone. I only found one area to take waste water close to the play park which is a distance from some pitches. The shop has basics and there is a good Coop in the village. The village is an easy walk and I found it easy to find a parking place. The Heritage Centre is worth a look and the railway carriage cafe is good with reasonable prices. There are shops and pubs in the village. A hotel with bar and restaurant is close to the campsite. We did the waterfall walk which was good, care is needed on some stepped sections. We enjoyed our stay and will return. Facilities marked down to 9 as no water and drainage pitches.

Great site to stay, and visit all the beautiful places this part of the country has. Site wardens were brilliant, friendly, and very helpful. Had a choice of pitch, and took the wrong one. Right at the side of the road, but not spoiled our visit in any way. Toilets and showers are the cleanest I have seen, even though the site was busy. The small town of Bellingham, is just a 20min walk down the road. Everything you need, shop wise, and the Co-op is open till 10pm every night. On the weekend we stayed, the site organised a barbeque, and music from a band, who were staying on site, whilst doing a show nearby. Luckily, it stopped raining for the event! Some fantastic scenery around the area, even had a drive to the Scottish Borders. Forgot, there is a shop, well stocked, on site, and the wardens will order you a newspaper, though I was just glad to get away from the media, and the election, for a couple of days! Will be back, later this year, loved the place.

Business like rather than friendly welcome. Plenty of choice of grass with electric hook up pitches (sheltered by trees or open aspects) but some ground seemed waterlogged. I would strongly recommend an additional groundsheet under your tent to protect it from the mud!
The toilet block was of high standards. The on site shop was well stocked with plenty of tourist information. The new campers 'lounge/kitchen' was also up and running - again of high standards including a giant TV/DVD player, which would be very handy if you are camping with children in bad weather.
The on site playground is a sorry little affair but there is a good looking town one 5 minutes down the road, though children will need supervision on the busy road.
Wifi was free but be warned that it did send the virus protection software on my laptop into meltdown. Seemed to work better on Internet Explorer than Google Chrome and did drop out of connection several times for no apparent reason.
Bellingham is a 20 min walk. Decent sized Coop, baker, butcher, hardware shop, cafes, pubs and a couple of banks.
Hareshaw Linn waterfall is a pleasant half day walk from the site.
Kielder Village and Reservoir really needs a car and good weather to explore all its different attractions. I gather there is a bus boat in the summer.

We stayed at Bellingham for four nights over the New Year from 30. 12. 14.
The site is easy to find and has good access from the A68. We received a warm and friendly welcome and the various pitches available were pointed out to us AND we were offered help in setting up - Caravan Club please note!
The site was not anywhere near full and as there had been a lot of rain we set up on hard standing and the warden said we were welcome to park the car on a vacant hard standing which helped to keep dirty feet out of the caravan and protect the grass.
There is a well stocked shop on site and although we use our own facilities I had a look in the 'gents' and it was modern, warm and clean.
On the 31 st the wardens kindly put on a most enjoyable buffet with some sparkling wine. There was also something arranged for the 1 st which we did not attend as my wife came down with the flu.
Bellingham itself is about a 15 minute walk away and has a small supermarket, butcher, chemist, two banks, three pubs - one of which did not always appear to be open - gift shops etc.
There is NO Vodaphone reception on the site nor in Bellingham but all other networks have a signal.

We had stayed on this site three or four times with our tent and this was our first visit with our caravan. We contacted the site and asked if we could stay for five nights then leave our caravan unoccupied for two nights, then return for one night (my wife had to be back home to attend a couple of hospital appointments. This was no problem and for a small charge we were able to leave our caravan with the electric hook up connected, this means the food in the fridge stayed fresh.
The new owners of the site were very friendly and helpful The pitches are a good size and all have electric hook ups.
The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean and it is a nice touch that they have music playing softly.
There are recycling facilities next to the rubbish bins. One thing I particularly liked was the chemical toilet disposal point, it is under cover but on side is open so plenty of fresh air and no smells.
The town of Bellingham is a short walk away and is friendly and has a small co-op supermarket and several cafes and pubs.

We stayed on this campsite for a 10 day holiday.
The Franchisees were lovely people. They were very busy as you would expect but always had a minute to chat. They are working hard to upgrade the campsite with a new campers living room, drying room and a games room currently under construction (in those empty rooms the last reviewer mentioned)
The shower and toilet block was always clean with plenty of hot water. Showers are push button and I found a little too hot for sensitive skin/children. The dishwashing is all indoors. Washing machine was great, held loads and the dryer did the trick first time although I was given two tokens just in case!
I felt a little crowded on the green, fellow campers ignored the 6m rule and pitched up almost on top of us. I found the staff a little too lenient with this issue and noise makers and although they did try we had a number of disturbed nights.
On our first (very wet night) we ate in the Riverdale Hall Hotel. Food was excellent and we were given a free pass to use their swimming pool! Later on in our trip we also ate in the Cheviot Hotel in the Village, food good there also and I felt more comfortable in walking clothes in the bar!
The pitch was fairly free draining. Kids playground was too small for ours (9&10) although they happily made friends and dens out of twigs.
Days out at Beamish, Alnwick castle, Wallington House, Cragside House and the Roman Fort 'Housesteads'. A walk up to the waterfall, Hareshaw Lin from site is a must and the office will lend you a map. Lovely Village, nice butcher, baker and a good old co-op!
Over all a nice place, lovely people we would return but would choose a pitch more carefully.
