Lovely

As a solo female traveller I found this place safe and very peaceful. Not a soul around after dusk but quite a few dog walkers along the pathway in the morning. I parked near the river so was lovely to hear the water. Field was bumpy & I imagine not great in the... Show more

Unbeatable Base for Exploring Durham and Surroundings

The site itself is perfectly placed for walking or cycling into Durham and surrounding areas. Given its proximity to the city it was amazingly tranquil. With the river Browney at one edge and the footpath along the river boundary and then a cycle path leading up through the... Show more

Wonderful, our best site to date

Pulled in to the field and walked up to the farm to confirm if we needed to park anywhere particular. Lovely couple, happy for us to park anywhere. For us this is wild camping with added bonus of water and waste disposal in the field and rubbish bins at the... Show more

Great for what it is...

Tucked down beside a river and woods, very peaceful and quiet, it’s nonetheless not more than 30 mins walk from the centre of Durham.... As others have noted, the grass is a bit long, the bins are a short walk away and there is no hookups. There are however some excellent... Show more

''Not good''

We visited this site in early September...after going down a steep bridleway to the site we were not sure it was the right place...after finding the owner he said yes this is the right place.. We had the field to ourselves, and due to the grass being so long ..it... Show more

Hmmmmmmm

This is a wonderful site for walking directly from the site. You are linked to so many tracks via the unused railway line you can cycle or walk as far as you like. You are located about 1 mile from the town centre and as pointed out very near to... Show more

Convenient for Durham Centre

Stayed on this site for three nights in July. We were delighted to discover that the centre of Durham is only 1 mile away and easily walkable (follow the signs for the cycle route). There was also a very regular bus service into town with a... Show more
