A stop off for 3 nights on our 5 week tour from Cornwall to the Orkney Islands. A site well up to the Camping Club standard. We noted criticism of the site about noise. With the A1(M) to the east and the main road to Durham to the south one has to accept there will be road noise. Pedestrian access to the Park & Ride is difficult. The path going to the P&R is OK but not good when returning as you have no view of traffic coming up the slip road from the A1(M) best to go farther west to opposite the west side of the road to the site before you cross. We would support a campaign to extend this footpath which I guess would not cost much but the bureaucracy would cost a fortune.
