Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: 10% OFF Autumn Getaways | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
The pleasant Durham Grange Club Campsite is set on open, level grounds, conveniently placed just off the A1(M) and within easy reach of the pretty city of Durham. A short 3-mile drive from the caravan park will put you in the heart of the many attractions the city has on offer.
Dramatically set on its 70-foot rocky peninsula in a meandering bend of the River Wear, Durham is steeped in history and one of the most picturesque cities in the UK. Whether you fancy a wander to take in the sense of days gone by, or a bite to eat in the many local restaurants, the panoramic views from every vantage point make the city a holiday destination not to be missed. A visit to the World Heritage site of Durham Cathedral and Castle is a must. For a dose of fresh sea air, Seaham Beach is only a short drive away.
With on-site facilities including a kid's play area, and an indoor play area in nearby Newton Aycliffe to help keep little ones entertained, Durham Grange Club Campsite is a great choice for those with children. A public footpath runs from near the site through fields, leading down to a river and woodland. Other benefits of the site include a dog walk.
Please Note: Reception at this site may close earlier than 8pm and staff may not be available to greet you. If this is the case, don’t worry, you can still arrive on site until 8pm. We will simply contact you on your day of arrival with details of how to check-in. Please ensure your contact details are up to date on your Membership profile.

This is our "go to" site. We were a little apprehensive returning after winter close, as the managers we had grown to love and made friends with were retiring and moving on. But, first time back and all is great again, the new managers are friendly and welcoming. The site is beautiful,... Show more

Great place to Visit Durham
We wanted a visit to Durham, unfortunately we choose the "Freshers" weekend with the new students at the University so Durham was heaving with new students and their parents. This made our stay less enjoyable, however we hope to visit again at a quieter time, the site is perfectly placed... Show more

Excellent site and amazing wardens
We stay here every weekend and some weekdays when off work. The site is always beautifully maintained, the Wardens are all amazing, nothing is too much trouble.

OK as a stop over
I should start by saying that we have generally stopped using club sites as they have become far too expensive for the facilities on offer. In other words, I find they offer poor value for money. The only exception is where the site is perfectly placed for where we want... Show more

Durham Grange
Pleasant enough site with well-spaced pitches and clean facilities. Ideal for overnight when travelling further afield. Because the site is surrounded by two major roads, A1(M) and A690, it is not easy to walk or ride a cycle off site. This is the only thing that I would consider letting the site... Show more

Great site near motorway
Stopped here as visiting family, very convenient just off motorway. A little road noise but didn’t bother us. Very clean facilities and very friendly helpful staff. Will definitely come again.
