Tourers in caravans, motorhomes or tents are welcome at our Camping and Caravanning Club site in Bellingham, which occupies a privileged location in the North Tyne valley within easy reach of the best of Northumberland. Stroll to the village and the spectacular waterfall of Hareshaw Linn, stride out along the Pennine Way, or try climbing the local crags. This land bares vivid reminders of its past; and none more spectacular than Hadrian’s Wall. The historic houses of Cragside and Wallington are nearby, while Alnwick, the Simonside Hills, and the castles and coastline of Northumberland make wonderful day trips. Try fishing for salmon on the North Tyne, canoeing, playing golf, or exploring historic Hexham. The adventurous will enjoy the challenging mountain biking in Kielder Forest and Go-Ape at Matfen, while Kielder Water with its watersports, shoreline walks, art and cycle trails, is wonderful for families. Try to spot one of the nesting ospreys in the forest and, after sunset, enjoy the dark skies from the Kielder Observatory. Take afternoon tea at Carriages Tea Room near the Bellingham Heritage Centre or
enjoy a drink or meal at the dog-friendly Riverdale Hall Hotel, a short walk from the site. If you want an easier camping experience, try ‘glamping’ and hire a Pod on site. Our shop stock includes fresh, local produce from the Northumberland Sausage Company and Tarset Valley Marmalade. Stay with us to discover a hidden gem of a National Park.

Still deciding where to escape to for a few days? 🌲

The Montane Summer Spine Race set off Sunday morning, and later this week some incredibly determined runners will make their way through Bellingham, passing close to our campsite as they reach the final main checkpoint before the finish.

It’s a brilliant time to visit, enjoy some of the race atmosphere and explore our beautiful town and the surrounding Northumberland countryside.

No motorhome or caravan? No problem.

Our cosy camping pods offer a peaceful little base among the trees. Pod guests can also enjoy access to our fully fitted shared kitchen, games room and welcoming communal lounge, complete with a TV and log burner.

Come for the Spine Race, stay for the walks, scenery and a relaxing few days away.

And unlike the runners, you’re allowed to put your feet up. 😄

Get in touch with reception to check pod availability.

🌿 A little corner of Northumberland to slow down and breathe.

Whether you’re travelling by motorhome, caravan, bicycle, or on foot, Bellingham Camping is a peaceful place to stop, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors.

Wake up to birdsong, spend the day exploring quiet lanes, walking trails, and beautiful countryside, then relax beneath some of the darkest skies in England.

No rush. No crowds. Just fresh air, open space, and a chance to switch off for a while.

We look forward to welcoming you. 🌲✨

They promised us a good display of Northern Lights tonight and they didn’t disappoint! Almost as spectacular as the amazing one in May - shots taken North, East and West (from the campsite). One is taken from Glasgow West End by my daughter - to see it above the city lights shows how good it is. Second time we’ve been able to see something by eye and not just through camera. These are taken on a phone camera. Campers should be excited tonight - amazing!
Goodnight folks!
