Standard CMC site offering all that members would expect. The site is mainly level and well maintained with grass areas still firm in mid September. This was my first CMC site since lockdown and they seem to be coping well with all the impositions of the new normal. Many previous reviewers have mentioned traffic noise. Yes, you can hear it, but for me it’s background ‘white noise’. It’s constantly there but after a while you don’t notice it. Certainly not as intrusive as some noise annoyances experienced on sites. For many, the reason for being here will be close proximity to Durham and motorhomers in particular will be attracted by the park & ride nearby. However, as others have mentioned, accessing the P&R site by foot is not for the faint hearted. Firstly, it’s an unpleasant 15/20 min walk with cars and lorries thundering past you constantly. However, the thing to note is the 4 very busy roads and junctions you’ll need to cross. Some are relatively safe offering a refuge between the carriageways and/or traffic light controls. However, a couple of them are potentially dangerous and best avoided by anybody who is not agile and quick on their feet. The most dangerous section is on the return leg at the final crossing towards the campsite. It’s safer to continue on the grass verge beyond where the pavement stops giving you more time to see and judge approaching traffic speed before attempting the crossing. It can be done, we lived to tell the tale! It is possible to park a motorhome at the P&R, no height restrictions and plenty of spaces towards the back of the site. £2 ticket into Durham.
