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.

Delightful Durham Grange

This is our second visit to the site, our first being well over 10 years ago and it was great to see a new wash & facilities block! Still same traffic noise but to be expected. However could still hear the birds signing from the fields next to the site. Busy & well used site with lots of foreign tourers, but many staying like us for a week. We were visiting family but went to see Gibside, Beamish and Crook Hall Gardens ( if going to Crook by MH make sure you arrive early to park). Walked into Durham from the site as weather was lovely using the warden's map and it took us under an hour, a lovely stroll along by the river. We also walked the other way alongside the river (towards the site) but gave up as it was too muddy at that time. Also used the warden's local map to go to the Spar in Belmont which wasn't too far but obviously have to cross the A690 which was OK. Enjoyed walking the dog alongside the fields listening to the curlews.

Brilliant site

Our first visit to this site but definitely not our last. Good sized pitches, lovely site. Nice walk in the woods for the dogs, great play area for the kids. Very well maintained site, very friendly helpful staff, a pleasure to visit & we hope to return soon.

First Visit

This is our first visit to this site, lovely warm welcome. I would say one thing be careful if accessing it from the North bound A1 as you need to swap into the middle lane of the dual carriage way to access the site. Everything was good, but the toilet and shower facilities where covered in a white dust on various occasions, looked like they hadn't been completely cleaned down. Minor gripe was lack of foot paths around the site to access the facilities especially from the pitches to the right of the toilet block. Also no heating on and water pressure a tad lacking. MH Service point is pretty much the wrong side of all UK motorhomes. Requiring a long hose to be used. Great access to Park & Ride into Durham, but don't try to walk it, very dangerous roundabout to cross. There is dedicated MH parking but they where happy for us to use a car parking space in our 6m van conversion. Only 10 miles to Beamish also

Good Stopover

We stayed here for two nights as a stopover on a return from the North. Easy to find and access was good. Wardens welcoming and friendly. We stayed on a level service pitch. Good selection of shops within a short drive, however we used this site as a base to go to sightsee in Newcastle. The wardens were busy during the day. There is road noise from the A1 so for us this is only a stopover site and definitely not a holiday destination, we would however use it again if needed.

Reasonable site.

First time at Durham grange,next to the motorway which has it’s good points and bad.A couple of things I didn’t like the shower temp was just warm enough to use and the toilet block was not heated the other thing has been reported to the club. WiFi was handy though Lots of places to visit,I didn’t see any leaflets for Beamish museum in the info room and also no mention of 15% discount available for club members. The guy next caravan to us was leaving the site at 5.45am every day and was brought to the attention of the warden who just smiled at me and said she would have a word with him.

Safe and Sound

Excellent welcome, hard working warden's, pristine and clean, We had mechanical problems prior to our arrival, so we were now able to rest with ease, and enjoy Durham and its amazing history, especially the Cathedral, so had a comfortable and lovely week on the Grange site. Thank you

Been here Before!

Clean, tidy well kept site. Ideal for stop over on way up or down the country. And for a longer visit to cover this area of the friendly north east. Yes there may be an element of noise from the A1 but not intrusive.

Good location, basic facilities and some road noise

We stayed at Durham Grange as a stopover for 2 nights on our way home from Northumberland and so that we could visit Beamish museum. I’d say this site is fine as a short stay site for visiting Durham or Beamish and and as a stopover for either travelling to or from Scotland. It’s not a pretty site, it’s a basic site with clean, functional but ageing facilities. It’s a site I would class as serving a purpose rather than a site enjoyed for being picturesque. Depending on where you are pitched you could get some road noise from the nearby A1. We had a pitch far enough away for it not to bother us. The dog walk is small and there isn’t really any sizeable grassed area to let dogs off for a run. The wardens were lovely, very friendly and welcoming, the reception building had some very pretty hanging flower baskets and troughs outside. The site is easily reached from the A1 and it’s only 11 miles from the Beamish Museum and an easy drive into Durham or to the park and ride.

This is how it should be

Just spent 3 nights here due to business in Newcastle. The welcome from the wardens Mick & Andrea was suburb with a full explanation of the site & pitch options. The toilet block is modern & spotless and the grounds are well kept with flower beds. There is some work going on but this didn't disturb us. Good dog walking area and convenient for visiting local area. we didn't use the park & ride which isn't far away. we found 2 walk-able pubs the Travelers Rest & Belmont Working men's club which accepts non members & dogs. You have to be really careful crossing the road but it is possible. Will go back if in the area.
