A very nice nights stay

Just wanted to add a thanks to the lovely wardens who pre selected our pitch due to size of van. We hadn’t checked the site info properly advising those with vehicle length 8.5-10m to ring ahead to organise a pitch. With regards to comments of traffic noise due to its location we didn’t find it an issue. The site is very well kept, clean tidy & cared for. Couldn’t fault the place at all. Unfortunately we were only on a stop over so didn’t get to venture out & about. Hoping to return soon to further explore the surroundings.

Lovely site just off the A1

This must be the easiest site to get to from a main road. In spite of being so close to the A1, the road noise is barely more than a faint hum most of the time. The site feels spacious, clean and very pleasant. All the facilities were clean, though we do tend to use our own most of the time. For me, a big plus was the dog run. As a wheelchair user, dog runs are often inaccessible but this one was great. I could walk my dog independently and even give her a little bit of off lead time. I also found the rest of the site to be good for accessibility. The only slight negative is that I can't get to the elsan points to empty the toilet myself. Each service area has a nice smooth path round to the elsan point but the grit and fire bins unfortunately block the path. That's a real shame as I would have liked to come back here by myself sometimes. There is plenty to do in the area, including: Durham city and Cathedral, Beamish open air Museum, the Durham coastline and much more. It would also make a good stop off on a long trip north or south.

Made it at last

We have booked this site several times and last weekend finally got there due to one thing and another. The site is as many say right by the side of the A1 and it’s only a couple or so miles from the centre of a most wonderful city. Please don’t pass it by we stayed and the noise didn’t bother us at all in the slightest. The site wardens had only taken over five days before but knowing the site they came from at Bridlington and how they run that we have know sought at all that Durham grange will be in excellent hands.

Great stopover

We only had one night here to break the journey to Scotland and it is in an ideal location for that, being so close to the A1. But it is also a rather lovely site with great views and, although the A1 can be heard, it is more of a constant hum than the noise we were anticipating. We will definitely be back and hopefully for longer next time.

Pleasant stay on well kept site

We are regular users of the Grange, are never disappointed with the excellent overall quality of both site and site staff. If this site were a mile further from the A1 it would be perfect. We are rarely around the site in the day so road noise is only really noticeable between tea time and Midnight. Overnight it is relatively quieter.

Handy When Travelling North or South on A1

I've used this site a lot over the years. It's easily accessed from the A1(M). Because it's near the motorway which is surfaced there with a rough top-coat there is a lot of traffic noise, especially if the wind is blowing from the east. The wardens are friendly, efficient and helpful. The site can get busy in summer when the grass pitches which are in the centre of the park are in use. There is a large storage area at one side of the site. A huge Tesco Extra is under 3 miles away at Dragonville and there is parking there for motorhomes. It would be nice if the dog walk were surfaced with gravel or hardcore as it can get muddy at times.

Sunderland Illuminations & Festival of Lights 14th Oct to 13th Nov 2021

As an update to my recent review of Durham Grange site which is a lovely well managed camp site with a relaxed atmosphere in a country location. Should you be looking for a day out or evening drive then your only 25 minutes from the beautiful Sea Front at Sunderland. With its wide promenade and lovely walks and beaches. and the welcome return of the Famous "Sunderland illuminations and Festival on lights" at Roker Park right next to the beaches. Including a big funfair etc lots of bars and places to eat and great fun for the kids and adults alike. You can drive through 2 miles of lights in your car on camper without leaving your vehicle and lots of parking all through the route. Dont forget to also visit the amazing World Heritage "Durham Cathedral "and take a guided tour .! suggest the park and ride for Durham which is only 300 meters away. ( and has Motorhome spaces ) Enjoy your stay at Durham Grange .

The Best

We stayed at this site for one night. I phoned to advice that we were towing a large trailer on our motorhome and have difficulty moving it onto pitches. What a surprise we got on arrival one of the wardens was waiting for us to assist with our motorhome and trailer. We couldn’t have asked for more so helpful and friendly, we were made very welcome. The site was very clean tidy and well organised. Highly recommended and we will visit again.

Perfect base for exploring Durham and the coast

Booked this site initially to explore Durham and visit the cathedral. The sound of the traffic did not bother us at all it was just a steady background hum and has to be expexted when staying close to a major road network. We found the wardens to be really hardworking (constantly) and kept the site in perfect order, the bathrooms in particular were always spotless!. Only comment I would make, this is a site surrounded by trees (helps to subdue road noise) but also blocks the sun off some pitches early afternoon, late season. I asked about this when we arrived and was just told all pitches are sunny, this is not the case and wish we had been informed the pitches at the top of the site keep sun longer! I don't like cold dark pitches! This is just my preference and a minor issue! However, everything else was spot on, we used the park and ride twice, such an efficient service and very close to the site. We loved Durham and made the most of our time there. Need a break from exploring the cathedral then try "Cafedral" a vintage styled tea shop down the cobbles, wonderful atmosphere and staff! As others have said we went to Sunderland and South Shields, what an amazing coast line and such a lot of history. This was a real bonus as again the site is close enough to the good network of roads to take you there.
