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.

Good quality site

Great staff, excellent facilities, but close to the A1 so constant traffic noise. “Bus stop nearby” turns out to be the park and ride, a 15 minute walk away requiring you to cross a dual carriageway and another busy road too.

Excellent for visiting Durham

With the Park & Ride being so close with parking for motorhome this site is excellent for visiting Durham. I was expecting more traffic noise being so close to the A1 but there was very little and certainly did not disturb us. Excellent site.

A great site on the A1(M)

Close to the A1(M) and also the beautiful city of Durham. Really well kept site. Shower block is spotless. Site staff are friendly and helpful. They clearly work hard to present the site at its best. We will definitely return.

A Beautiful Site

Lovely visit to this well kept site. We stayed from Monday to Thursday 19th to 22nd May 25. Very friendly wardens who are very knowledgeable and keep the site in a beautiful condition. Having “George” the dog with us it was nice to see a lovely well kept dog walk... Show more
