Great base for exploring, well kept and maintained site

A three night mid-week break to visit the local attractions (Head of Steam in Darlington and Beamish Museum). Impeccably kept side with spotless facilities. Excellent Covid precuations whilst still keeping the toilet blocks open - carfeully explained when checking in. Reception helpful and welcoming. Some noise and care needed with children on bikes not sticking to the designated play areas. All in all a great stay - we'll be back again to continue or exploring of the area.

A Pleasant Surprise!

Booked this site for 4 nights quite last minute as just wanted a short stay en route to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Book in was very good. The wavy haired male warden (apologies for not knowing your name!) was very polite, explaining where to wait until it was our turn to book in & the long, dark haired lady who booked us in was also very polite. Extensive choice of pitch & pitches spacious. Whilst on site we spoke with the short haired female warden who was very helpful when we asked about walking along the river. The other male warden did tell our 10 year old Son off for cycling 'the wrong way' but our Son accepted it & for the rest of our stay, he scootered & cycled 'the right way'. As parents, we understand that kids have to follow 'rules' & the rules are there for everyone's safety. The site is meticulously maintained. The floral displays are some of the best we've seen at any club site & given that the sites have had no budget this year for plants, full credit to the wardens. Have never seen so many baby frogs/toads on site before! Our Son & the friends he made loved this! Only a 5 minute walk from the River Tees & you can sit & while away time watching the seals. There is a nature reserve a short walk away. There is a Beefeater pub/restaurant just outside the site. We ate there with the government eat out to help out scheme. Food is pretty average but service excellent. Supermarket & retail park a 5 min drive. This site is great; in a central location for exploring the area & we will definitely return.

Beautiful site spoiled by the current wardens

Just returned from a 9 night stay at this beautiful and impeccably clean caravan site in the current global pandemic feeling extremely disappointed and very let down by the sheer arrogance and rudeness of the current wardens. If you are looking for a family friendly caravan park then this is most definitely NOT the caravan park for you as the wardens DO NOT like children and you are under surveillance 24hrs a day by the CCTV cameras that they sit watching all the time and are right out at you complaining if your child steps 1 inch out of line. The male warden has a very choice form of language and would not approach a man would go streight to the woman. So moral of the story if your looking for a relaxing holiday where your not constantly being watched then do not go to this site.

Seal of Approval

Enjoyed a few nights here, our first time though we have seen it in the distance from the Tees flyover on the A19 many a time. The whole area was pleasant and belied its industrial past - but if you want that cycle to Hartlepool which was easy enough and you'll get to see it en route. Plus plenty of wildlife. Be sure to stop at the various nature reserves when the tide is out and when it's in, to see everything. The Barrage is well worth a visit and you'll see seals there too!

A peaceful Gem in an industrial enviroment

Had two nights at this site. So quiet at night and very well presented. A credit to the wardens, pitches excellent and an abundance of flowers and shrubs. Good walking from site up the teesdale way and seal watching round the barrage a must. Will definitely come again.

Fantastic but sad review

Writing a fantastic review but a sad review. We have been coming here for 9 years and have seen wardens come and go. Unfortunately 2 of the nicest people who we have had the pleasure of meeting and call friends (Harry and Heather) are sadly moving on to pastures new. Our stays here will not be the same as we will not be seeing your happy faces but wish you both the very best of luck and hope to see yous again soon. ☹️☹️☹️

Simply one of the best

Just back from a few days at Whitewater. We store our van here but love it so much that we usually stay onsite at least a couple of times each year. The wardens are all fabulous, so friendly and taking great care of this beautiful site. When you arrive there are flowers growing everywhere and the site is always clean and well kept. We have a dog and never have any issues as we keep our Bernese on a lead as per club rules (under 2 metres) and always take her the short walk off site to let her do her business and then clean up after her. There’s great walks around the Tees Barrage and we often see seals in the waters. Whitewater truly is a little haven of tranquility close to home.

One of the nicest sites on system

We have just returned from The White Water Park and have loved our 6 days there. We booked this site originally because there was little else available for this particular week, and so glad we did. Like the previous reviewer said, it is an oasis in the middle the middle of an area that was once a hub of industry. At night it was so quiet and peaceful. There are some very nice walks from the site down the river Tees and past 2 nature reserves, a bird watchers paradise, we spent quite a bit of time watching the seals at the barrage which is only 5 minutes walk away. There is a very large supermarket just a short walk away along with many other large stores too. The wardens were so nice and helpful and in spite of the Covid crisis we felt completely safe, given the steps put in place by the club, we were initially a bit apprehensive but all was fine. This has to be one of the most beautifully kept sites that the club has, the gardens are perfect and facilities top notch, so very well done to each one of staff, you are a credit to the club. It's a very easy site to find, being only a short distance from the A19, wether you are travelling from north or south. All in all we will most certainly re visit this site and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Life after lockdown.

This was our first outing after the covid lock down, 4/07/20 opening day of English sites. As we arrived into the area Tee-side is very industrialised, then you drive over the tees barrage and turn onto this little oasis of a site. We were greeted by the wardens who handed us our site information and instructions to how the social distancing system worked for the facilities. We found our pitch and set up. We spent 7 days on this site also visiting family in the local area (socially distancing) the site itself is immaculately kept, all the facilities were as you would expect for a club site spotlessly clean. The wardens and staff were friendly and on hand to assist if required they all worked hard to ensure the safety of every one on site with an exhaustive cleaning regime. All members appeared happy with the system in place to maintain social distancing. As stated earlier this site is an oasis in an industrial area its quiet, well kept and on the edge of a nature reserve, we were also surprised to find some grey seals swimming by the barrage as we took an evening walk by the river. We will definitely return to this site not only as its convenient to visit family but its a lovely site just on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Very Dog Friendly

We have always used this site in the past, and visit probably four to five times a year. As always the site itself and facilities are immaculate. The little garden behind the toilet/shower block has expanded ,and the Wardens have added lots of lights on the trees and shrubs and it looks lovely at night. We read the previous reviews about the Wardens not being dog friendly, and made the booking with completely open minds. We have never had any problems in the past, and can only say that our experience this visit was 100% positive. The Wardens work very hard to keep the flowers, shrubs etc looking fabulous and it is only common courtesy to try not to let your animal wee on them. We will definitely revisit this site a few more times this year.
