Arrived, checked in shown where electric pitches were and informed of toilets and showers. We were up for the GNR and also Hadrian's Wall so ideal position, out of the way but close enough for wall and forts.
Great views and good location

Excellent location and lovely views. The facilities were good and the host was very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

A nice campsite, loads of space and beautiful views over the Northumberland hillside. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the toilets and shower facility was not to the standard expected. More regular cleaning throughout the day is needed. Pretty sure the facilities weren't cleaned during our stay there.
