This is a nice little site, with a lovely welcome and fresh eggs from the resident hens.
As others have said, it slopes - a lot. From memory, it's the first site we've used where we've needed all our blocks of wood, and we accidentally left the rear access door open whilst levelling, and it dug into the ground and cracked.
There are a couple of dog walks above and below the site. The road outside the site is only a B road but some cars were going ridiculously fast and it wasn't pleasant using the road with dogs.
Durham is nice, and easy to get to. Park and Ride nearby, or you can park in much of Durham after 2PM for free.
In Durham itself there's a nice riverside walk.
We had planned to visit Beamish on the Saturday, but ended up also spending the full day there Sunday and my wife went back on the Monday too! Make sure you visit the drift mine.
Price for two adults for Beamish is £39.50, and this is what they try to sell you. However for an extra £5 you can get a Friends of Beamish membership, and that also includes newsletter and 10% discount on retail and food/drink outlets, so if you plan to buy food in the venue it will probably work out cheaper.
Camp site owners said you get 25% discount with CAMC membership, however Beamish is not listed on CAMC offers website so we're not sure if that offer is still valid.
Leaving the site with the caravan can be tricky, if you have a large unit. It's a reasonable slope up to the road and on gravel, so even with 4WD we had some wheel spin. Also, it's a good idea to have somebody on the road to let you know when it's clear, because once you start moving you'll not want to stop. The entrance looked tight, but even for an 8M long caravan it was okay.
