I booked Durham Grange for a Girls Christmas Sopping weekend. What a great weekend, the reception was warm and friendly especially when i said i might need help reversing the caravan. Nothing was too much trouble for the wardens. The pitches were of good size and i parked it pretty well, even if do say so myself!We were close to the toilet block which was immaculate and my friends were really impressed, one of them is not a "camper" of any description!! so well done. Yes there is the sound of road noise but it's not too bad considering where you are. Its so easy to find and if you're not looking you may miss the turn off the A690 as you're right on it! Ease of access off the A1 is outstanding pay off for that the road noise. Not a problem for us i have to say. Had a great day out in Durham at the markets although the traffic into town was a nightmare but once in the atmosphere was lovely. Well worth a visit. You can walk to the Park and Ride but it's not the best walk as you have to walk alongside the busy road sometimes on the grass verge. We got a Taxi it was about £7 We would definitely go back to the site and to Durham.  well done wardens
