Just returned from our first visit to this site, and it certainly won't be our last. It's easily located just off the A19 at Stockton and an ideal location to take in the famous 8 Bridges, Stockton and Middlesbrough. The welcome is even by C&MC standards exemplary, the wardens were amongst the most friendly we have ever encountered, and judging by the high standards that were evident on the site, take a real pride in looking after it. The layout of the site is a mixture of hedged continental style pitches to enclaves of pitches. None of this all too frequent straight lines, again real thought has gone into the layouts. Obviously because of this you would expect the facilities to be of the same high standard and you won't be disappointed. The site is located right next to a Water Rafting Course and although closed when we were there I would imagine when it is open it is spectacular. One of the best features of the location is the ability to walk alongside the river to Stockton in one direction and Middlesbrough in the other, avoiding roads altogether, and as we always have our two dogs with us this is a real bonus. Talking to other campers who were like us visiting for the first time all said what a gem it was. One couple even said that they had joined an open air keep-fit session being held on the island by the water rafting course. There's even a Beefeater Restaurant right outside the entrance to the site, which is dog-friendly not only outside but in a section inside as well. My wife and I have driven past this site on the A19 heading North quite a few times never really paying much attention to it's location, but we won't make that mistake again.
