We regularly review the season lengths of our Club campsites. As such, we have decided to change the season length of this campsite for 2023/24 stays. Please view the updated open and close dates under the 'At a glance section'.
The pleasant Durham Grange Club Campsite is set on open, level grounds, conveniently placed just off the A1(M) and within easy reach of the pretty city of Durham. A short 3-mile drive from the caravan park will put you in the heart of the many attractions the city has on offer.
Dramatically set on its 70-foot rocky peninsula in a meandering bend of the River Wear, Durham is steeped in history and one of the most picturesque cities in the UK. Whether you fancy a wander to take in the sense of days gone by, or a bite to eat in the many local restaurants, the panoramic views from every vantage point make the city a holiday destination not to be missed. A visit to the World Heritage site of Durham Cathedral and Castle is a must. For a dose of fresh sea air, Seaham Beach is only a short drive away.
With on-site facilities including a kid's play area, and an indoor play area in nearby Newton Aycliffe to help keep little ones entertained, Durham Grange Club Campsite is a great choice for those with children. A public footpath runs from near the site through fields, leading down to a river and woodland. Other benefits of the site include a dog walk.

First Visit
Durham Grange Club Campsite
This is our first visit to this site, lovely warm welcome.
I would say one thing be careful if accessing it from the North bound A1 as you need to swap into the middle lane of the dual carriage way to access the site.
Everything was good, but the toilet and shower facilities where covered in a white dust on various occasions, looked like they hadn't been completely cleaned down. Minor gripe was lack of foot paths around the site to access the facilities especially from the pitches to the right of the toilet block. Also no heating on and water pressure a tad lacking.
MH Service point is pretty much the wrong side of all UK motorhomes. Requiring a long hose to be used.
Great access to Park & Ride into Durham, but don't try to walk it, very dangerous roundabout to cross. There is dedicated MH parking but they where happy for us to use a car parking space in our 6m van conversion. Only 10 miles to Beamish also
Good Stopover
Durham Grange Club Campsite
We stayed here for two nights as a stopover on a return from the North. Easy to find and access was good. Wardens welcoming and friendly. We stayed on a level service pitch. Good selection of shops within a short drive, however we used this site as a base to go to sightsee in Newcastle. The wardens were busy during the day. There is road noise from the A1 so for us this is only a stopover site and definitely not a holiday destination, we would however use it again if needed.
Reasonable site.
Durham Grange Club Campsite
First time at Durham grange,next to the motorway which has it’s good points and bad.A couple of things I didn’t like the shower temp was just warm enough to use and the toilet block was not heated the other thing has been reported to the club.
WiFi was handy though
Lots of places to visit,I didn’t see any leaflets for Beamish museum in the info room and also no mention of 15% discount available for club members.
The guy next caravan to us was leaving the site at 5.45am every day and was brought to the attention of the warden who just smiled at me and said she would have a word with him.
Safe and Sound
Durham Grange Club Campsite
Excellent welcome, hard working warden's, pristine and clean, We had mechanical problems prior to our arrival, so we were now able to rest with ease, and enjoy Durham and its amazing history, especially the Cathedral, so had a comfortable and lovely week on the Grange site. Thank you
Been here Before!
Durham Grange Club Campsite
Clean, tidy well kept site. Ideal for stop over on way up or down the country. And for a longer visit to cover this area of the friendly north east. Yes there may be an element of noise from the A1 but not intrusive.
