 We have just returned from a lovely week at Demesne Farm, the views from the site are superb and the night skies fantastic.
The facilities are basic, but adequate, although a second shower in the ladies would be welcome - we did venture into the gents to commandeer theirs when it was temporarily out of action! This problem was quickly rectified and we returned to our own territory.
The children (13 and 11) enjoyed the site, especially making friends and playing rounders again and again! The close proximity of the village was a big plus and we took advantage of the local bakery and butcher. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, and the farmer helpful and happy to pass the time of day with us.
Do take midge repellant as they were particularly vicious while we were there.
Don't miss Hareshaw Linn, it is well worth the walk up to it and the kids loved the water along the way and at the top.
We also had a good meal at the Percy Arms in Otterburn, an imaginative menu but they also had steaks and pizzas.

Been going here since I was 6 months old and still love it to bits. Hehe. Really good campsite and all visitors are really friendly and great to get along with which helps as we spend all summer there every year! Facilities are very clean and basic which is all you need. Local area consists of a chemist, tourist information, riverside walks, butchers, a co-op, bakery, cafe, and more including pubs which are the cheviot hotel, rose & crown and the black bull hotel. The rose & crown is the best all round for all ages as children are welcome till 9pm.
The owners are really welcoming and are very helpful in anyway they can. The thing to remember is it IS a WORKING farm as well as a campsite so expect the sheep dung lying around occasionally although it is still kept very clean on the main camping field. Generally all in all it is a really great place to go and I hope if you visit you enjoy it as much as I have for the many years I have been going!

Half of me wants to keep this campsite a secret and tell nobody about it in case we can' get booked when we want to!
What a lovely, friendly site!
The toilet block is basic but clean and the fellow campers are usually like-minded, friendly people!
It literally is on the farm and the animals are there for all to see.
The farmer/owner is a very pleasant and helpful man who always makes us feel welcome.
The site is quiet enough to be relaxing but friendly enough for you to socialise with others if you want. We have made several sets of good mates here nad we keep returning! Love it love it love it!

I stayed at this site while passing through the area on a cycle camping tour. It is a super little site for tents or touring caravans. The showers and toilets are in converted farm buildings and are well maintained. The town centre is only a very short walk away and has two late night stores and pubs.
The owner is very pleasant and keen to answer question about the area.

We stayed here for one night in July it was our first time camping so we only stayed one night just to try it out, it was really quiet, the people staying on the site were really friendly and the owners were really nice. The kids found it a little boring as there wasn't really much for them to do and as they range from 2 up to 13 we found it quite hard to entertain them as it rained most of the night they couldn't really play outside, but they enjoyed it even though they were stuck in the tent. The campsite went really quiet after 9pm which was quite nice as our youngest was asleep quite early on. The showers and toilets were clean and tidy, and the mad chickens really mad us laugh running up and down the campsite, they were hilarious.
Would recommend they have some facilities added for kids, other than that got no complaints. If you want a quiet holiday then this is the place for you, if you have kids then, I suggest you take plenty for them to do is there isn't much there for them.

Small, basic campsite. The owner was really friendly - he warned us that the camping field was full with a reunion but we were welcome to use the larger field alongside it. That was great because we could camp where we liked and had a great open view - although there was cow poop to avoid.
Toilet facilities were basic, and kept as clean as possible (considering it's a farm, with proper field camping). 1 shower each for boys and girls and cost about 10p a minute. A thoughtful touch in the ladies was the provision of plug points next to a mirror (so you can see how you're drying your hair - although you'll need to take your own hairdryer).
I loved the free-range hens wandering about, and the sign on the door next to the ladies which read "Beware of the Bull".

We have stayed on this site before and it was like revisiting old friends. The site has 10 electric hook ups and is situated within easy walking distance to Bellingham itself. The field that you camp in is set away from the main road and is very quiet you come out of your unit and can see hills and fields for miles. The children can help the farmer and learn about the animals on the farm. The site has seen loads of improvements from last year with the toilet blocks being updated and made more user friendly, there is hot water showers, sinks and dishes sinks in both toilets. The best thing about this area is that it is on the way to so many places. We have come back time after time because of the lovely atmosphere and the fact that there are buses to nearby towns and plenty of walks straight off the sight, or of course you can just sit and watch the day go bye literally counting sheep! Well worth a visit.

This site is very close to the centre of Bellingham and actually feels like a larger CL or CS as it's quite small and located in a field behind the owners farm. My kids enjoyed seeing the farm animals especially the (very) free range hens.
There are small basic toilet blocks (2 toilets and 1 shower for the men and 1 toilet and 1 shower for the ladies) with coin-operated showers, several hook-ups, a fresh water tap and a disposal point for chemical toilets. We were their late in their season and the grass in the camping field had been left a bit too long, long enough for wet trouser bottoms on the way to the toilet. There was also a fair bit of farm-yard muck in the courtyard near the toilet block - not a problem during the day but making night toilet visits a bit of a minefield.
Bellingham itself is well located for access to the attractions of Kielder and there are other walks and mountain bike options nearby.

We spent the summer at this campsite. Our daughter had a great time helping the farmers with the sheep and chickens. She has learnt alot about farming and the reasoning behind it.
The campsite is quiet and friendly. The facilities are basic but good. You get plenty of space around you whether you are in a tent or caravan so you can spread out and there is no feeling of stepping on your neighbours toes.
This is a good site if you would like to go sight seeing as it is within easy reach of Kielder, Otterburn and Hexham.
When we stayed we found that the children played nicely togther and shared their toys. The site was always quite by 9pm or earlier, and it had a great holiday feel. We would definitely go back.

We loved staying here because the fields were huge and we felt we were camping on our own. The dog loved playing ball on the field! The facilities were basic but clean and adequate. This is a fantastic area and it was wonderful to stay on a real working farm.
