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.

Good for Durham centre
Nice site with all the usual good facilities. Park and ride to Durham is great, they have large parking bays if you want to leave a motorhome. If you want to walk to the park and ride its about 10 minutes but you have to cross two busy slip roads... Show more

Lovely site, great walks
Fantastic site, really handy for A1. We stocked up at the huge Tesco a few minutes away. Staff gave us a great welcome and the pitch was huge. Facilities are spotless! There is traffic noise but that is to be expected, you quickly zone it out. Nice dog walk on site and you... Show more

Great campsite for Durham and Newcastle
We stayed here over the Easter weekend, it was our first visit. The location is great for getting into Durham and Newcastle. We have a motorhome so don't usually drive off site and rely on public transport. There is a park and ride about 10 mins walk from the site... Show more

This was our first time at this site. It is located close to the main road so it's definitely not quiet but we actually quite like traffic noise so i guess it depends what you are looking for. It's location down an access road behind the council road depot... Show more

Pleased to be back!
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
