Quite, pretty site surrounded by trees. As advertised, there are no toilet facilities, but it is clean, well maintained with plenty of waste disposal points. I was pitched at the far end of the field from the entrance and excluding the odd motorbike there was no road noise. A majority of the pitches are seasonal. My phone uses the O2 network and I had no issues with basic internet access. Even if you do not have a dog, do try the dog walk. It is a pleasant stroll between woodland, and small meadows, close to the river at times, with the sun streaming along the valley in the evening. It is an old lane, though most of the tarmac has now gone, leaving an easy walk along the compacted road base of stones etc. It's a mile to the first house and then another three quarters of a mile to the next road. From where other footpaths lead off, though I didn't try them. Although it is possible to walk up the B road by the entrance to footpaths, the road (though quiet) has several sharp bends and when I reached the footpaths south of the site they were overgrown and tough to walk along. Basically you need to use a car to do anything from this site. Great walks at Simonside, either up to the crags or a more gentle stroll around the iron age hillforts. Or drive and walk round Fortburn reservoir (pay and display) or park at Greenleighton Quarry and walk for free. Rothbury is worth a walk round and as well as fresh food there, the petrol station at Thropton has a mid sized supermarket with a great selection of local produce at fair prices, including a butcher. Petrol sensibly priced for a remote location.
