Jess and Cameron have created a fabulous caravan site. The pitches are fully serviced and very spacious. We stayed in the East Field over New Year. Initially booked for 7 nights and ended adding an extra 2 as the area is truly lovely for hill walking. We visited Ad Gefrin distillery in Wooler on Hogmanay. Did lots of hill walking including, Linhope Spout, Yeavering Bell and Cochrane Pike, which were all fabulous with amazing unspoilt views all around.
Cannot fault this site and highly recommend.
First time stay at this lovely CL - Will be back
So this CL came HIGHLY recommended by a number of my friends. Weirdly so many had visited this CL - I guess as the CAMC Club Site is just down the road.
So in no particular order. Access to site is super easy and only a few mins drive from the main A road. Double gates see access into two fields, one has mostly grass the second is entirely hard standing. Loads of room to park for sure. The facilities are very good, with clear recycling and waste bins as well as a very good Elsan point. The service pitches are lovely and convenient, and despite being -4 the stand pipe didnt freeze, but my own hose to aqua roll did!
Mobile phone signal (o2) was excellent, with no issues 4G.
Local walking routes are amazing, with no need to walk the same route twice I found.
A couple of negatives, both outside of the owners control. The TV signal is poor, and I was unable to get freeview with a Bailey Status Ariel and booster (But some have managed) I brought along a 60CM Satellite dish so had no issue getting FTA channels.
There are some VERY large electricity pylons to the West of teh site - They are a blot on teh landscape and hum noisily when raining. But like I say totally outside the control of the owners.
No toilet on site as explained on the booking area.
So in summary, Great location, Great value, Great CL. Well done Team Brandon Ford!
An absolute gem of a site
This was our first visit to this wonderful CL and most certainly won’t be our last.
The site itself is immaculately kept and the price per night, which includes your caravan or motorhome, all occupants and dogs at no extra charge is incredible value, especially when all pitches are serviced pitches.
We brought two caravans to Brandon Ford, myself in one and my sister, brother in law and their dogs in the other. We were greeted warmly on arrival by Cameron, his wife Jess and their young family.
The views are wonderful and the dark skies such a novelty if you live in an area of excessive light pollution We had a brilliant view of the ISS crossing the sky on our last evening.
We will revisit this lovely site.

Great CL / Site
Really enjoyed our stay here, location and site. All hardstanding fully serviced well maintained pitches. Two sites of five hardstanding pitches that are connected. You have to drive through the West Field site to get to the East Field site through a couple of gates, we preferred the East Field. Lovely walk around a nature reserve just over the river footbridge. Watch your SatNav doesn't take you over the river crossing which is a rocking ford, only for 4x4's.
Perfect
What a site, absolutely perfect for us.
Loving the quirky toilet chemical waste.
Very clean and well looked after.
A great site
This is a well set up site set in beautiful, rolling Northumberland countryside. It was easy to book online. Lovely gravelled pitches with water and waste water drain. The chemical disposal point could be slightly bigger and easier to use with less likelihood of splashing. We only stayed three days but visited Bamburgh Castle and Warkworth Castle. We had take away pizza from The Bosk one evening. Would definitely return for longer.
5 star CL
Stayed here for 3 nights, not nearly enough time to explore the area, but that means we will definitely return. Cameron & Jess run an immaculate CL, everything neat & tidy (even the farm is pristine). Water & grey waste on each pitch - really felt spoilt. Beautiful views from any pitch. Quiet & so many walks direct from the site, with the river close by to keep our dogs happy. Communication with the owners were good all the way through, can thoroughly recommend visiting here.
Great site
Another wonderful stay at Brandon Ford. The weather wasn’t brilliant this time but we still managed to get out and about. The site is immaculate, the grass is kept short and the grass clippings collected which is a big bonus when it’s wet and you have a dog.
There are many walks surrounding Brandon making it a great stop if you have a dog or two. Cameron or Jess always pop over at some point during your stay. Lovely couple.
Would thoroughly recommend this site.
A real gem of a cl
An immaculate site in a really stunning area, well set out level pitches and a well maintained site, very peaceful quiet site.
Easy access to and from site, many great walks direct from site.
Very welcoming friendly owners.
Stayed 8 very pleasant nights here !!
Will have to return next year.
What a gem
Great site if you want clean large pitches or should I say immaculate. Can recommend everything and that includes the super cakes. What would make it a 6* would be the ability to have a dog run for exercise, but that's me just being picky.
