We stayed for 1 week, leaving on 16th August. Excellent site, spotless facilities and easy to find from the A66. Within comfortable walking distance of Barnard Castle which is an attractive market town, with good shopping, ruined castle and also home to the Bowes Museum. The woodland/riverside walk from the site into town was unsafe due a land slip and so had to use the narrow path along the road side verge - whilst not a difficult walk, you do need to keep an eye open for traffic. There is much to see in the area e.g. High Force Waterfall, Raby Castle, Cow Green Reservoir and of course, the Bowes Museum which is a must. We had fish & chips from the visiting fish & chip van and they were excellent. Would definitely recommend the site and we plan to visit again next year. If the site was closer (we live in Norfolk, so quite a long drive) we would, without a doubt, visit more frequently.
