This site is a perfect example of what a CL site should be! Tom & Mark gave us a very warm welcome and then left us to enjoy the peace and quiet that this site offers. We stayed for 8 nights and were the only campers there for 7 of the nights. The only sounds we heard were the lovely horse in the next field, a couple of cows on the farm and the occasional wood pigeon. The site has one toilet and one wet room/shower both of which were very pleasant (unlike some other CL’s we have stayed at!). The site is only 15 minutes from Durham and 20 minutes from the County Durham coast with Gateshead and Newcastle about 35-40 minutes to the north (if the traffic is behaving). It is only 5 minutes from the A1 and access is easy. There’s plenty of shop/supermarkets, take-outs and a couple of pubs within a short drive. We found the Chinese take away in Bowburn particularly good! It was our first trip camping without electric hookup and we didn’t miss it at all. With the sunny weather, the 100w solar panel kept the battery pretty much full despite using the TV most evenings. All in all, we rate this site 10/10. Mark & Tom, thank you for a lovely stay!
