A very clean and modern site situated in a beautiful area, ideally located to Barnard Castle as only a short walk away. The staff are friendly and helpful.  The pitches are large, level and well spaced. Excellent facilities, well organised and plentiful. Downsides are the road noise if staying on the top pitches but not an issue on the lower ones.  Being new members we are not up to scratch on site rules and regs and lost our pitch after one day as we were not told we had to 'reserve' it even though we had to inform reception which pitch we had chosen for our 'two night' stay!  Regardless of the downsides...overall a very pleasant stay and will definitely stay again...with a 'reserved' sign!
