Just spent 3 nights here due to business in Newcastle. The welcome from the wardens Mick & Andrea was suburb with a full explanation of the site & pitch options. The toilet block is modern & spotless and the grounds are well kept with flower beds. There is some work going on but this didn't disturb us. Good dog walking area and convenient for visiting local area. we didn't use the park & ride which isn't far away. we found 2 walk-able pubs the Travelers Rest & Belmont Working men's club which accepts non members & dogs. You have to be really careful crossing the road but it is possible. Will go back if in the area.
