Stonehaugh Campsite

Pitches: 30 Opening Dates: March To September Stonehaugh is a quiet and relaxed rural site situated in the stunning Northumberland National Park between Kielder Water, Hadrians Wall and Hexham. Only an hours drive from Newcastle, it is set amongst beautiful moorland on the edge of Wark Forest. Ideal for walking, cycling and touring. We aim to provide a quiet and relaxed Campsite where you can enjoy the natural countryside of Northumberland. The area offers some of the best dark skies in England where you can observe the stars in stunning detail. The quiet village of Stonehaugh (pronounced Stone-hoff) was designed in 1951 as a village for Forestry Commission workers at the time that Wark Forest was being planted. The Campsite opens on 1 April (or Easter if this is earlier) and closes on 30 September. There is easy access to walking with footpaths (including the Pennine Way) close by. Cyclists will find numerous forest tracks and the North Pennine Cycle Route (NCN 68) passes close to the village. The site is comparatively flat and is suitable for tents, touring caravans and motor homes. For those looking for a base to tour Northumbria by car the site is central to: ¥ Hexham - about 17 miles ¥ Bellingham - about 10 miles ¥ Kielder Water - about 25 miles ¥ Hadrians Wall - about 12 miles ¥ Newcastle - about 35 miles The site is designed to minimise its affect on the environment with the shower block powered by a wind turbine and hot water provided by solar panels. A new facility for 2014 is a charging point for electric cars
