Why stay here ...

In May 2022, we completed work to provide more pitches for members, adding 10 brand new hardstanding pitches and 10 Serviced Pitches.

Even though this site is located just half a mile from the market town of Barnard Castle, Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite is set in open countryside that is designated an Area of High Landscape Value. Barnard Castle is a delightful town, home to the renowned Bowes Museum, a 12thC castle, an excellent visitor centre and a choice of pubs and restaurants.

Barnard Castle also marks the entrance to Teesdale which offers spectacular scenery following the river up to High Force and a series of other waterfalls to its source beyond the Pennine Way and Cow Green Reservoir.

The valley of Teesdale is prime walking and cycling country for those that love the outdoors, offering a wide variety of terrains to suit all abilities. Enjoy walks along the Teesdale Way, or shorter walks in the local area. For the less energetic, there are many places of interest nearby. The area's main asset is its unspoilt tranquillity.

Bank Holiday Sunday 50% empty

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
We stay at this lovely site quiet often ? In fact Friday and Sunday this week. Can not fault the Wardens . Questions need to be asked with C&mHC about why this site is only 50% occupied on a.bank holiday Sunday . A clue could be that the £40 a night fees are putting caravaners off . Surely in these difficult financial times the Club.could do more to help members. Jumping on the "Cost of Energy excuse" dosnt hold water. Great site but too expensive.

Lovely Site and Town

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
Had 2 nights here with our small dog. Warm and chatty welcome, Pitches spacious, well maintained site with new plants and grass still establishing. There was a tiny bit of road noise as we were quite close, but nothing to spoil our stay. All facilities were very clean. Walk into town was nice thru' the Nature Reserve woods, took app 30 mins. I think you could also walk in the opposite direction towards another village, so we will explore this when we return. Plenty of small shops and eating places to choose from. Only improvements would be to the Dog area - make an entrance at each end and cut the long grass so its easier to pick up. Will return soon 🙂🙂🐕‍🦺

Could be our favourite

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
This was our first visit to the site, which is in the beautiful north of England, and it exceeded our expectations on so many levels. Easy to get to and a short walk into the town for shops, bars, restaurants and cafes has convinced us it will be a favourite for future visits. There are two routes into the town, one alongside the road and the other through a lovely forest. We did both, but because we had a dog, decided we preferred the forest route. Some previous reviewers mention road noise but believe me you won't notice it. The facilities block is clean and the showers have plenty of room and hot water. Pitches are big and level but take some rock pegs for awnings because the base material is well compacted. The staff are amazing and will always try to help (thank you Brian and Sue!). Overall, an exceptional site.

Lovely Site

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
Enjoyed our first stay on this site. Facilities were very clean and accessible. Staff were very welcoming , friendly and informative. Ideal location to tour a beautiful part of Durham, and also nice walk into Barnard Castle itself. Lovely walk through a pleasant wooded area , ideal for our Dog. Noise from the roads didn’t bother us at all.

Ideal location

Teesdale Barnard Castle Club Campsite
This site is ideally situated for accessing the town. It’s only a short walk and the town has lots of pubs , restaurants and fish and chips shops. The staff on site are friendly and helpful. It was poor weather , rainy , and our pitch was flooded due to poor drainage. The pitches are well spaced out and it’s an attractive site. There is some road noise but not much.
