SITE INFORMATION

The Bellingham Demesne Farm Campsite & Bunkhouse is set in the beautiful Northumbrian village of Bellingham. Their site is a flat, sheltered camp site in an ideal location for both tents and touring caravans and they have purpose-built toilet and shower blocks on site.

One late night in 1972 the local Bellingham bobby was confronted with yet another pair of Pennine Way walkers with nowhere to stay.

Instead of sending the duo to the nearest pub, this resourceful constable decided to try and negotiate a permanent solution to the lack of camping facilities in the village by approaching the owner of The Demesne Farm and discussing the possibility of sitting a permanent camp site on one of the farms flat, grassy fields.

And so the Demesne Farm Campsite was born!

Today the campsite boasts 30 pitches of which 13 have electricity hook-ups, a clean & modern ladies and gents toilet and hot shower blocks imaginatively developed within one of the traditional stone buildings and surrounded by a quaint cobble yard. Dishwashing facilities and a wide range of local attraction information are situated in the blocks which are located on the outskirts of the working farm buildings.
