Convenient location

Very well located for Barnard Castle itself (10 mins walk) and access to Teesdale, Northern Pennines, Durham and so on. Very clean and well maintained site, friendly wardens ( the cover warden on duty when we arrived less so) albeit a bit windswept location especially the last booked night with a severe storm. Great dog walk through woods into town - just need to be careful negotiating the small landslip which the locals blame on the CC...... Club please be aware! Anyone planning on using the site in adverse weather should carefully consider which pitch to use, most are broadside to the prevailing weather and it is a windy location ( many spent the night in their cars it was so bad when we were there)! However the rain added to the spectacular High Force and Aysgarth Falls.

Teesdale Triumph

A great site with all mod cons and friendly welcome. Walking and cycling heaven. Lovely market town with the wonderful Bowes Museum to visit full of creative treasures.

Will return and stay longer

Sadly we only had one night whilst passing through.  Even though it was 6pm and the end of a long day for the wardens they were very friendly and welcoming.  Pitched away from the road we were not troubled by any road noise. The toilet block was exceptionally clean and pretty new. Cleaning times were staggered Not sure there is much for children to do.  Will return for a longer stay due to the friendly welcome and the fact we missed the fish van!   Barnards Castle looks a lovely market town and the drive to Middleton in Teesdale is pretty even in the rain!

Beautiful Teesdale

This is an excellent CC site just 15 mins walk from Barnard Castle. It is a lovely clean site with spacious pitches. Very friendly wardens. Very tasty fish & chips from the van which visits on Wed & Sat evenings. Plenty to do in the area. Visit the castle itself in 'Barney', and the nearby Eggleston Abbey. Lovely walk from Bowlees to Low Force, with further to High Force if you wish. Magnificent scenery.

short break

First time on this site and a very pleasant surprise, wardens very helpful, showers and wc,s spotless and the site is a 20 min walk into town. Mobile fish and chip van recommended.Only downside is there can be a little intermittent road noise if pitched roadside but would not let this prevent us from returning.

Even better than last time!

This was a return visit to the site, and we were delighted to find they now have a field next door offering a really good dog exercise area, with nicely positioned dog waste bins round the perimeter. This was a real bonus on an already excellent site, so we extended our stay by two extra nights. Although the site was really full when we arrived (we took the penultimate pitch), the facilities were as spotless as ever and the wardens really friendly.We stayed longer this time since we had a place to run the dog out, and explored some of the walks locally.You can go for long or short walks from the site, there are plenty of options in all directions. We saw an otter on the Tees just above the weir, plus dippers and oystercatchers upstream of there. We rate this site really high. However we don't have chldren so we had to 'guess' at the star rating for them - I suspect the closeness of the main road may be a problem for some, though the children we did see appeared happy enough. We intend to make many return visits to this wonderful site and explore the dales roundabout.

Excellent Stay

This was our first stay at a Caravan Club Site and we could not fault it . The facilities were very clean and showers were brilliant , the best we have used . The only thing that I would say is that the entrance to the dog walk would probably or could do with being covered with the same stuff they use on the pitches so as not muddy . we look forward to visiting again

Lovely site

I stayed on this site for the first time last week over my 60th birthday. The site is excellent, super facilities, well maintained and well laid out pitches. The wardens were brilliant, always helpful and friendly. They really made our experience perfect and are a great asset to the club. I can't wait to go back!

First visit to Barnard castle

Enjoyed our first short visit to this site, facilities were very clean, wardens very friendly and efficient. Easy walk to Barnard castle, and by the river. We will certainly visit again to try some more of the walks in the area.
