Stayed one night (Motorhome and two adults £25.60) – parked nearest point to A1(M) but heard no noise and slept like a top.
Despite heavy rain the site seemed to drain well.
The single file path from the site to the River Wear was very muddy, wellies or walking boots required, but should be more manageable in the Summer – the less mobile will have problems walking the riverside path to Durham.

Great site to explore from!
Very easy site to find and get onto.
Very clean as expected, and reception was friendly and helpful, again as expected - Thanks for your efforts!
Where we were towards the A1 side of the park, there was noticeable traffic noise through the night, but not enough to put us off coming back.
The kids play area is great.
And it is a great base to explore from!
I'm sure we will be back (especially as the Alnwick castle and Beamish tickets last for a year!)
Excellent holiday break
Lovely site close to all amenities of Durham just straight of the a1 was made very welcome and really enjoyed our stay would go back here as lovely people just a shame there wasn't a club house on but it was really quiet and a lot of people complain about traffic noise of the a1 but we never heard any traffic at all
Three days at Durham
Easy to get to site not as noisy as we expected have spoken to others and read reviews. Well situated next to the A1 with easy access to The sites of Durham City both via the park and ride and by town centre car parking.
Site could do with more dog waste bins and toilets/showers are showing their age compared with other CC sites visited. Will use again as a stop off point to destination north.
Good Location
Stayed for 4 days clean and well matained site, friendly wardens. Second time of going, park and ride so close is good, take your time crossing the roads, it was not a problem but if you have differculty walking it could be, but if you have use of a car then it's easy. Love Durham.
peaceful getaway
very nice quiet ideal for couples and good location enjoyed the eggs will be going back on a regular bases

Nice site
Stayed a couple of nights to prepare van for new season after winter storage. Very pleasant stay, lovely walk along river into city. Wardens friendly, facilities immaculate. Only downside was wifi connectivity which is particularly poor
better than expected
stopped over for one night en-route to bamburgh, site was great as expected clean, well laid out with helpful staff, facilities were spotless. being so close to the A1 I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but was pleasantly surprised because while it was ever present it wasn't as loud as it can be at other sites (e.g Hargill House at the top of the site) and when I was in my caravan I could barely hear it. will definitely be back!
Worth a visit
This was my first visit to Durham Grange. I found the site easy to find, level and we'll laid out with clean warm facilities. A park and ride sevice into Durham is only moments away with plenty free parking. For the more energetic among us there is a pleasant 3 mile walk along the river to the city centre, however the early stages of this walk can be a a little muddy following wet weather. The only down side to this site is the proximity to the A1. Traffic noise can be heard through the night, but that said after a few nights you can get used to it.
