Enjoy family and friend time on your tent or caravan pitch alongside the rabbits, robins and sparrows.
For the tents and caravans, we have great grass pitches, most with electric hook up. The views from the low meadow across to the wall are fantastic for the spectacular sunsets. If you’re under canvas and you’d prefer to be at the top of the site, away from it all with stunning views, here’s where we have our non electric pitches.
You really will be at one with nature on our grass pitches – the rabbits like to share the space along with the very friendly and cheeky robins and sparrows who do like to investigate the visitors and accommodation of the moment!
If you are doing a Hadrian’s wall hike or cycling the coast to coast route with your tent on your back then we have a great backpacker area where you can pitch with other like-minded campers and where we have a small hut for shelter should the weather be unkind. There is a table and chairs in the hut with space for you to put your cooking equipment for cooking indoors.
Have the best night’s sleep but not before you’ve experienced the spectacle of the dark skies with their incredible stars. Bring your own firepit (as long as you don’t burn our grass) or hire one from our Hadrian’s wall campsite.

So what’s the length of Hadrian’s Wall (World Heritage Site)? There are a few different answers to this question. The Roman unit of distance was a “mile passum” which translates as 1000 paces. A roman mile was equivalent to 5000 feet which means that the wall was 80 Roman miles long with a milecastle fort marking each mile.
A modern mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. This means that the length of Hadrian’s wall is 73 modern miles. But, the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail path adds another 11 miles to the length
So, Hadrian’s Wall is 84 miles long and runs from Wallsend, Newcastle on the east coast to Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast running through 3 counties.
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 8.30pm. We do recognise that there can be reasons why you may not be able to get here before 8.30pm, especially if you’re coming straight from work on a busy weekend. So we can be flexible. Please pre-arrange a later check in time with us if you need to or if you realise during your journey that you will be arriving later than expected, please ring us.
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
We ask that people leave their pitch by 11.30am.
Our 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.
When you book online you will be taken to an online payment link. Your balance can be paid online or over the phone. If you book via email you can pay over the phone or we can send an online payment link.
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 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.
Yes, we have an area that we lock up at night where you can leave your bike.
We don’t have a playground for children but our campsite is a wonderful open space for children to explore (under supervision).
Our chickens and ducks also provide endless entertainment.
We have a small shop on the site, offering your camping essentials including many local products.
We don’t have a cafe on site but in the high season we offer takeaway breakfast rolls – bacon/sausage/egg along with barista coffee.
We don’t offer lunch or evening meals but there are good local pubs if you’d like to eat out during your stay.
We do allow BBQs that are far enough off the ground to ensure they don’t scorch the grass. You can buy charcoal for your BBQ in our shop.
We don’t allow disposable BBQs – we want to save our grass and we try to be as environmentally friendly as possible.
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.
We cannot allow open fires other than those in firepits and we will not allow fires at all if the weather conditions would make them unsafe.
No smoking or vaping is allowed in our indoor spaces or at our facilities building.
You can smoke around the campsite but we ask that you are mindful of other guests and please dispose of your cigarette butts responsibly.
We want all of our guests to enjoy their holiday experience with us therefore we have made the decision not to allow amplified music at our campsite.
Yes. We ask that people are considerate of other guests and our quiet time is between 10.45pm and 8am.
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.
The Twice Brewed Inn to the East is a larger pub also with their own brewery.
It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the wall from the campsite and there is a car park at the wall which is less than 5 minutes away. There are a number of lovely local walks taking in the wall and the area around.
Have a look at our out and about section for more information.
