About the site


With panoramic views over the Tyne Valley and Pennine peaks, this peaceful campsite is a great option for campers seeking a no-frills nature getaway. Located just outside of Acomb, a small village near Hexham, the site is easy to access from the A69 and makes a great base for exploring Northumberland. The site offers 10 unmarked non-electric grass pitches for tents in a spacious field overlooking the valley, as well as five non-electric touring pitches for campervans, motorhomes and 3 roofbox tents pitches . The touring pitches are divided by woven willow screenings for privacy and come with private log seating areas or picnic benches. From exploring the historic town of Hexham (five minutes away) to visiting Hadrian's Wall or the Salmon Ladder on the River Tyne, there's plenty to do locally. Further afield, Northumberland National Park and Newcastle are both under half an hour. BBQs are permitted as long as they are raised from the ground, and campfires are permitted in the fire pit grills available for hire at the reception.

A note from the site themselves...

We love our site as it's rustic and beautiful. We have fantastic views. The night skies are breathtaking, as are the sunset and sunrises.

We have many returning campers both from Europe and the UK. It makes us really proud of what we have achieved here. We wouldn't change it for the world. Set in a rural peaceful location. Our site is surrounded by wildlife from Curlew and Barn Owls to Hares and Roe dear and yet a stones through to the market town and shops of Hexham.
