SPECIAL CAMPING AND GLAMPING IN THE HEART OF NORTHUMBERLAND AND HADRIAN’S WALL

Escape into nature and relax

A Warm Welcome

How can we help you?

Our campsite is warm and welcoming to everyone and we work hard to recognise special requirements that guests may have and to alter or change things to provide the best service we can.

If you are planning a camping trip with us at Hadrians Wall Campsite and you or someone in your party requires additional help of any kind for any reason, whether that’s a physical disability or a disability that is not obvious to see, we do understand that you may have concerns, or you may be anxious. We are here to help and will do all we can to adapt our approach to ensure your campsite experience is a good, relaxing and enjoyable one

We will do our best to recognise a need when we meet you, but we can do much more if we know in advance.

Many of our guests are from the LGBTQ+ community and we see lots of guests returning to us every year. Our campsite is warm and welcoming to everyone and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.

Every year we see an increase in European guests. We speak English and Welsh at Hadrians Wall Campsite but do our best to communicate in other languages. We have a basic vocabulary in French, German and Spanish but we have translation software at our reception. We are always happy to take more time and to make telephone calls on behalf of our guests.

We have listed below some of the things we currently do at Hadrian’s Wall Campsite to help guests with specific needs have a great experience. Do please drop us an email or give us a call if you have any questions at all or if we can help in any other way.

We are genuinely happy to help you 😊

guest reviews

If you like small and peaceful this is a fantastic place to stop. There is a small shop in the reception that sells the essentials. There are clean, hot showers and toilets and a laundry room.

Hadrian’s Wall is walking distance and there are loads of footpaths around the site so you can walk as much or as little as you like. We were lucky enough to spend a couple of evenings with amazing sunsets and beautiful, clear starry skies so it was a brilliant opportunity for a bit of photography.

The staff were really welcoming and helpful and the campsite is dog friendly and well kept

Lovely campsite which is cleverly done in tiers! We were in a hard standing pitch which had its own water point (and EHU). We didn’t put awning up but did put our canopy up. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Showers and toilets very clean and good, hot showers. - these are push button but work well. In the morning we got a sausage (gorgeous taste) and bacon roll from the shop and the most gorgeous coffee! There is a good wash up area, laundry room and a variety of accommodation on site. Walk to Hadrians wall is not too far. Will definitely stay here again!

Nice break away. Lovely shepherds hut with amazing views.

Myself and my husband have just returned back after 2 nights staying in one of the shepherd huts, it was a lovely break away. We arrived just after 2pm on 3rd September, there was no one at reception so had to call the number to let them know we had arrived, we waited about 10 minutes for someone to come and check us in which we didn't mind.

Check in was quick and easy, I think it was Tracy who booked us in, she was very helpful and friendly, telling us how to walk into town and to hadrians wall. She showed us to our hut which was lovely. The hut had everything you could think of, we had tea and coffee, there was a dish cloth, sponge, tea towel and washing up liquid, which normally you have to take you own. There was a kettle, microwave, fridge, hot plate, plates and cutlery,…

Great Setting

This well kept campsite is on a hill, meaning many campers can share and enjoy the expansive views without viewing each other! Perfect location to explore Hadrian's wall. Thoughtful owners provide a (not to scale) local map with a few walks and highlights as well as good pubs (we enjoyed the Milecastle Inn and Twice Brewed for walking lunches).

There is a handy small shop with essentials, and bacon rolls etc on offer for breakfast. Clean facilities, a hairdryer and good hooks on the shower doors. Have been to campsites with more space between pitches, and depending where you are it's a bit of a walk to the loo, but you can't have everything. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for a lovely holiday!

Tracy and Steve were brilliant hosts, really helpful & welcoming, we stayed on a Caravan pitch and Grandma stayed in the lower shepherds hut, both were exceptional, very well maintained & beautifully presented, it was lovely to see the ducks and rabbits and the children enjoyed playing and making friends.

The facilities were kept fully functional and spotless despite it being peak season, not many sites can boast that! The location was also perfect for exploring the area, literally a stones throw from lots of Roman attractions & the wall itself and central for other attractions slightly further afield.

The views are lovely, endless skies & photo worthy sunsets, can’t talk this site up enough, I wish we could go back tomorrow but it’s an 8hr drive for us! If you like caravanning / camping or shepherds hut type holidays and want the full Hadrians wall experience I honestly can’t think of a better place to stay 10/10.

Amazing Experience! We will be back!!

Stayed here for 2 nights before moving further NE to the coast. We go camping regularly and very rarely return to the same place since we like to explore new places. This is a site that we definitely WILL be returning to! The site and the location were brilliant (stones throw away from Hadrians Wall and good pubs), but we were blown away by the facilities. Impeccably clean, recently modernised and a drying room available for wet coats/boots.

They even have a fridge and freezer (which were very clean) which was super handy for us since we could make butties and save ourselves some pennies. In addition, Steve and Tracey who run the site were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to help us! Thanks so much to you two! We cannot recommend this campsite enough.

What an amazing campsite. Immaculately clean. Traveling with a young adult with disabilities can be difficult but this was the perfect site. Trscey and Steve couldnt have been more welcoming or helpful. Disabled facilities excellent and again spotless. Tracey ensured we had an accessible plot . So quiet and tranquil. The perfect conditions for a restful night sleep. Do bring a torch. We were unlucky unlucky with the cloud cover but I imagine it would be amazing for star gazing. Thankyou for a wonderful break.
