King of the castles
Lovely clean site in countryside, yet within an easy walk into town, with castle ruins, pubs and restaurants, together with independent retailers - great fun!

Relaxing Site with Local Amenities
We love this site. Friendly and helpful wardens and immaculate facilities. The centre of Barnard Castle is only a 15 minute walk with all the shops you need and for those members with dogs The Golden Lion pub is very welcoming.
We cannot understand why the local parish council won't allow the site to open all year round- we and no doubt other members would be happy to come here in December to visit the town in a festive atmosphere- you'd think in these current uncertain economic times they would be glad of the extra revenue which it would bring to the town!
Roll on next spring!

Very good site
This is one of the best caravan clubs we have stayed at as and must have one of the best on site dog walks, well done to the very pleasant wardens.
Only one drawback with Barnard Castle, although they have plenty of places to eat out in, the pubs stop serving food for the day at 3pm
One of our top ten
Just came back from as motorhomers we find this a really good site, lovely walk into town, great fish and chips on site twice a week, shame the Pizza Van gave up we missed him. The wardens are lovely, very hard working the site is a real credit to them always spotless. Even though they are busy, they can always find time for you. The dog walk is fabulous at the moment, a whole field mowed into walkways, shame it will be going to create more pitches, but we can see why as it is such a nice place to be , love the market on a Wednesday and Saturday too I think. Only hope when all the work is done we get a good dog walk , not just the small one that will be left. Pity all the sites are not quite up to this standard but lots are. Thankyou Caravan Club

Visited October 2015
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit, even the inclement weather could not dampen our enjoyment of this lovely site and area.
Barnard Castle is approximately a 15 min walk, the town had enough shops and pubs to suit most tastes.
The caravan site facilities were spot on, the shower block and toilet's were so warm from the underfloor heating, my glasses steamed up each time I went in. The wardens were very helpful. The pitches are big. The site is just about perfect, one slight downside, the upper level pitches are a little noisy from passing traffic.
A lovely holiday with great walks in beautiful countryside. We will be back.

Well worth a visit.
We stayed on the site for four nights. We found the wardens very friendly and helpful. The site looks as though it has been updated in the recent past and as a result, it is pleasant on the eye and clean. The toilet block is up to the standard that I hope for when booking a club site.
Barnard Castle is well worth a visit and only a short walk away (part of the walk is on a grass verge but we didn't find this a problem).
I can vouch for quality of the fare from a mobile fish and chip wagon that visits the site on Wednesdays and again on Saturdays. One minor grumble is the noise from the adjacent main road, minor being the key here though, nowhere near enough of an issue to put us off. We certainly will be returning to this site in the future.
A lovely Site
Stayed at this site last weekend and we had a lovely stay. The very friendly wardens could not do enough to help. The site was spotless and pitches are very large. You can walk into Barnard Castle when the path is open (too muddy when we visited). Some lovely pubs in Barnard Castle serving great food. The Redwell Inn next to The Golf Club) is lovely. All in all a great site and we will certainly be back.

Pleasant stay
We enjoyed this site a bit of road noise but nothing to worry about. A nice easy walk into the very pleasant town, would have liked to stay longer and will certainly return
Enjoyable Site
We had a lovely week on this site in September. I would not be put of this site by the comments about the road, yes you do get a bit of noise from the road but we never found this a problem at night. The wardens on site were helpful and friendly, the visiting fish and chip van was good that comes on a Wednesday and a Saturday. It was a 20 minutes walk into to the town from the site and is a pleasant town with plenty of pubs and coffee shops. We are hoping to return soon
