Adequate CL in stunning surroundings
Lonton South Farm
Lonton South Farm is a perfectly adequate CL site in stunning surroundings. There are two negatives: the CDP disposal facility is way below the usual expected standard, and the price at £18 a night is way too high. Views from our pitch were beautiful. Access to the Teesdale Way makes for excellent walking. We walked from the site to Low Force (about 13 miles return) along the Penine Way - an amazingly lovely path with the reward of eating our lunch by Low Force waterfalls. Bowlees Visitor centre nearby is well worth a visit for refreshments. We did try and cycle to Barnard Castle from Lonton Farm as described on the website but the cycle path ends at Cotherstone (it's then 4 miles along the road to Barnard Castle) . If you're into quirky pubs the Kirk Inn at Romaldkirk might be for you. We enjoyed the experience!
A brilliant CL in Farm Location
Lonton South Farm
Always a warm welcome from Mrs Watson who maintains the site to an exceptional standard.
A part sloping site with levelled hard standing pitches, all with good views.
Experienced caravanners and even motor home users have no problem accessing the pitches.
I must admit there are some obviously inexperienced drivers of motor homes who arrive expecting club site tarmac roadways and facilities.
This is a great location and site and we visit in springtime every year
Wish I'd read the other reviews...
Lonton South Farm
The area is beautiful, with a railway path adjacent and a lovely riverside walk into Middleton.
The site however is one of the worst, I am sorry to say. The field is quite small, and not only does it slope but undulates as well.
There are two electric posts each with two hookups, so four in all. The fifth pitch is non-electric.
Four 'hard-standings' have been dug out, but not leveled correctly, and what looks like recycled road surfacing has been thrown down, which has not been compacted, so the whole effect is a total mess. The hard-standings are not wide enough, so outside the caravan door is about a foot of this lumpy stone and then grass which is a higher level, so when it rains a muddy puddle collects outside our door.
There is one water tap which is behind one of the pitches, so a privacy issue for the people on that pitch, and the waste disposal is unspeakable.
This was the most expensive site of the three during our holiday, and by far the poorest value.
Excellent Location
Lonton South Farm
Lovely views from the site and the easy access to the disused railway track meant we didn't have to move our van all the time we were there. Middleton in Teesdale is a lovely little town with an excellent butcher, a really useful hardwear store and a friendly café.
We had some fabulous and varied walks direct from the site. The dogs did not bother us and we stay on CLs not expecting to have any facilities or be bothered about the noise of a farm so previous comments did not put us off. A noisy pheasant woke us early one morning but, hey, this is the countryside!

Beautiful Countryside and Dog Walks on the Doorstep
Lonton South Farm
We stayed here at the end of July 2020. The views are spectacular and it is a lovely 10 minute walk on footpaths through fields to the village of Middleton in Teesdale. The site is situated on the old railway track which eventually leads to Barnard Castle. This is one of the highlights of the site for us as we have a dog and got straight onto this walk which leads to Mickleton and Romaldskirk, which both have nice pubs that you can stop off at. The village of Middleton In Teesdale has several pubs, a very busy fish and chip shop and several cafes. This is a working farm and the sounds and sights of the sheep being herded up was a joy to watch. We were on a slope and so did need our chocks but it wasnt too much of an issue. There wasn't a toilet facility and we thought the site was too expensive as we had 2 family members staying in our awning for which we were charged an extra £35. Therefore the total cost was £80 with E/HU for 3 nights for a motorhome with an awning. This is double the price that we have paid at other CL sites for exactly the same. Would we return - Yes due to the location but not the price
