Barnard Castle is a delightful town, home to the renowned Bowes Museum, a 12thC castle, an excellent visitor centre and a choice of pubs and restaurants.

Barnard Castle also marks the entrance to Teesdale which offers spectacular scenery following the river up to High Force and a series of other waterfalls to its source beyond the Pennine Way and Cow Green Reservoir.

The valley of Teesdale is prime walking and cycling country for those that love the outdoors, offering a wide variety of terrains to suit all abilities. Enjoy walks along the Teesdale Way, or shorter walks in the local area. For the less energetic, there are many places of interest nearby. The area's main asset is its unspoilt tranquillity.

Gem of a site

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
Just home from our 4th stay. We love this site as it’s in an ideal location for a short walk into town to visit the shops and pubs. The site is clean and well cared for and the wardens are great and really helpful. There is a playground for children which looks well equipped and maintained and a large dog walk area. The toilet block, dishwash and laundry facilities are clean and looked after and there is an information room with plenty of leaflets, taxi numbers and a book exchange. There are lots of walks both from the site and a little further afield and plenty of places to visit. This time we did a circular walk from Barnard Castle past the Bowes Museum and Egglestone Abbey. On previous visits we have walked round High Force and Low Force waterfalls. Durham and Richmond aren’t far away and worth a drive out to.

Excellent stay

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
First time staying at Teesdale Barnard Castle site. What a gem of a site. Literally 5 minutes off the A66. Lovely warm welcome from all the wardens that we met. Lovely large pitches. The facilities were clean and warm! Nice walk from the site into Barnard Castle. If you’re looking for somewhere nice to eat, try the Raby Arms in Barnard Castle. Just a word of warning the floors do slope in there! We will certainly be using this site again.

Our second outing as caravanners

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
Our second run (April)as new caravanners and was to get us out of our local area but give us the chance to do a longer tow, but not too long (1 1/2 hours). The first several nights away trip and the first we used the awning. Mention this as when packing it away the rock pegs were difficult to take out after the dry spell made the ground really hard and after close to an hour tugging, the decision was made to walk to reception and ask for a bit of help. It was during lunch and they would nip round in a bit. Next door arrived back in between and had all the necessary tools. The staff buggy appeared and was happy problem had been solved, but stayed for a nice chat and hints/tips for newbie towers. This was just another example of the friendliness we received from the excellent kept and run site. Great walk through the woods from the end of site, but a bit of a warning to anyone a bit unsure on the legs, it can be a bit difficult in a few places. The market town is a great place to walk around, nice views of the river from inside the castle after a walk down the riverbank and Bowes Museum a cannot miss if you are into that type of thing, we had a four hour visit there. The Three Horseshoes a nice spot for refreshment on a hot day and what was going to be a light snack in the courtyard at the back finished up filling us for the rest of the day.

Lovely campsite in good location

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
Recently stayed at this campsite for 2 nights. When we arrived the lady at reception was very helpful & friendly, and provided all the necessary information regarding the site facilities. She also gave us information on things to locally. We were able to drive around the site and select the pitch we wanted, with all pitches being spacious and well maintained, as is the campsite. Showers and toilets are kept very clean, with plentiful hot water. We often visit Scotland and this is the perfect halfway site for a stopover. We will definitely stay here again.
