Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Really beautiful quiet site. It was our first time camping and this was perfect for a first go: it felt secluded and in nature but also had good phone signal and clean facilities, and was literally 30 seconds from the entrance to Bolam Lake Country Park. The owners are friendly, gave us lots of info, and checked if we needed a hand with anything. I would fully recommend booking here.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

How can you make a basic field into a great camping spot? Jill and David certainly have managed that, from a friendly warm welcome, beautiful location maintained exceptionally, to the cleanest portaloos I've ever seen. We'll definitely be back. So close to home but felt we were miles away. Lovely walks locally short one round Bolam lake which has a café to a longer one up to Shafto Craggs, giving lots of options of things to do. Thanks for a great time see you soon. Dave.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

Lovely, tranquil site with bird song and horses in the paddock. Picnic tables, clean facilities and mains water. Great back to basics site. Possible to book just 1 night over bank holiday, which was very welcome compared to most sites.

Thanks so much for your helpful feedback and so pleased that you had a quiet, relaxing and restful evening. We will always offer a 1 night stay option as we are keen to offer walkers, cyclists and other guests this as part of their planned trips where they need an overnight stay in different locations. Thanks so much, safe journey and we hope that you visit us again very soon.
