Welcome to our FAQ section. Here, you’ll find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our campsite. We’ve compiled this list in an effort to provide you with quick and easy access to the information you need. If you don’t see the answer to your question here, please feel free to contact us directly and we’ll be happy to help.
Check in is from 1pm to 8pm.
There is no one at reception prior to 1pm therefore we won’t be able to check you in if you arrive earlier than 1pm we’re sorry
Reception is closed at 8pm so we won’t be able to check you in after that time. We ask that you plan your journey, considering possible traffic issues, so that you can arrive by 8pm.
We hope you will understand this. Our staff work long hours from 7am so we would like them to be able to enjoy some of the evening to themselves. We are also mindful of other guests and don’t want there to be too much disturbance for them by others arriving late.
We ask that people leave their pitch by 11.30am. or by 10 if you are in a glamping unit
Hadrian’s Wall Campsite is very popular. At weekends and during peak periods we would highly recommend that you book to avoid the disappointment of being turned away if we have no space.
However, there may be times in low/mid-season when we do have space and we would be very happy to welcome you without a booking
You will need to check in at reception when you arrive. When you come through the entrance to the campsite, follow the road around to the left (don’t go straight on) and then to the right (don’t go up the hill). There is an area here just outside reception where you can park.
We will welcome you and give you the information you need in relation to your pitch, facilities and local area.
We ask for a 50% deposit at the time of your booking and the balance is due 4 weeks prior to arrival.
We can take payment over the phone or you can pay via bank transfer.
We think that this is the ideal place to switch off the phones and tablets but we do recognise that access to the internet is important for most people. We do offer free wifi but as you can imagine, being in the middle of the countryside, the speed and strength of the signal is not the best and we can’t guarantee that there will be a consistent signal especially if there are lots of people trying to use it at one time.
The mobile signal on the campsite is excellent.
We do accept dogs but we do have a restriction of a maximum of 2 dogs per pitch (although we can be flexible) and we ask that you keep them on a lead while on the site.
There are many lovely walks around for you and your dog but please also be mindful that all of the land around us is livestock farming land therefore care needs to be taken while on your walks also.

We believe that campfires are a wonderful part of the camping experience but we also have to consider the safety of all of our guests. We will allow the use of fire pits and your wood burner in your glawning if you have one but please act responsibly.

Our environment is precious to us and we are trying to do everything we can to protect it. We use our local company for our waste collection who separate the rubbish at the depot. Nothing goes into landfill but we would love for everyone to consider what they put in our rubbish bins as much as possible. Please don’t leave bulky items such as broken chairs/tents/mattresses. Our rubbish collectors don’t accept them
Please help us to look after our wonderful environment.
There are two lovely pubs both within 30/40 minutes walking distance from us. The Milecastle Inn is to the West and is a small, cosy pub serving good pub food and local ale (Sorry not dog friendly)
