Prices spiraling. Can it be justified ?

We have stayed here many times and always enjoy our time. here. Two points i would make. 1. Earliest arrival time now 1pm. Cant understand the clubs stance on this as surely they should be asking people to leave at before 11am and first arrivals at 12 . That means you can walk our for lunch . Has the club ever asked members about this ? . Second point is pricing. Do we really need to increase prices. so much over Bank Holidays ? Other than that this site is very worth a visit OFF PEAK if you want a better deal. New part is now open but looks a bit bear without trees and bushes. Would always try for pitches on the bottom row arround nos 30s to 40s. Handy for toilet block quieter and nice open views. Nice wardens and great facilities. 15 minute walk into Barney if you cross the footbridge. Three Crowns for a nice meal out 147 chippy first class.

Don’t under estimate the road noise!!

If you are lucky enough to get a pitch on the lower side of the site you’ve cracked it….however the road noise on the other side of the site is horrendous and pretty constant.

First time for us in this area and the location is excellent for walking into Barnard Castle and beyond. Barnard Castle is a very nice busy little town with lots of independent shops, smallish Morrison’s and good eateries.

The circular walk from Barnard Castle to Abbey bridge and returning via Egglestone Abbey (free of charge) is an easy walk of varying aspects.

Great site within walking distance of Barnard Castle

What a lovely site! Very clean and well kept, with great facilities, shop and a playground on site. Really easy access to it from the main roads, but still having a rural feel and literally a 10 minute walk into Barnard Castle with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Alternatively, as you walk out the site, you can go onto a lovely walk into the woods or along the river. Would highly recommend and we will be back :-).

Our first trip as new caravanners

This is a great site. We are new to caravanning and it was a great experience for us. Nice large pitches. The wardens Sue and Brian were very helpful. Barnard Castle is a lovely town. We would recommend the chip shop called Number 149. The Bowes museum is well worth a visit and High Force waterfall is a must. Thanks. Bob and Jenny.

A great site!

This was our first visit to this site and what a little gem! We were slightly apprehensive about booking after reading some comments about the road noise but we selected a pitch down the dip for our Motorhome at the far side of the toilet block overlooking the treetops and it was perfect! Level, quiet pitch with easy access to the toilet block. TV reception was 'ok' and walk into Barnard Castle was really quite pleasant, although up hill on the return for those less fit/mobile. The town is fab with lots of shoos, cafes, pubs and boutiques, as well as the Castle to visit and lovely river walks. We will definitely return!! (Even though the club prices seem quite expensive now £80+ for 2 nights stay - and that's both being members & 1 of us a concession!)

Final trip of 2021

We visited this excellent site again for 7 nights on a serviced pitch and once more enjoyed the location and facilities. The wardens maintain the site and its facilities to an excellent standard. The location, 1/2 mile from Barnard Castle and in the beautiful Tees valley make this a wonderful destination. The extension of the site with a further 10 fully serviced pitches and 10 standard pitches will further increase its popularity in 2022 and we shall have no hesitation in returning.

Wardens

Just wanted to thank friendly wardens Chris and Carol who were absolutely brilliant and helped us get through a situation last week when we had problem with our caravan which resulted in needing a recovery back home. Chris and Carol were both very knowledgeable and helpful and are an absolute credit to the Caravan Club. Thank You !
