We have just returned from our second stay here now and we have enjoyed every minute of it. The whole land is very well looked after including the facilities are cleaned constantly, they have also added extra toilets so there’s no waiting around during the busier times. The site was full when we visited over the bank holiday and there wasn’t a time we had to wait for the toilet or showers. The toilets are always fully stocked with toilet rolls, hand-wash and paper towels. It is a very peaceful relaxed site which is immaculately clean and very well looked after. The owners of this site Beth and Justin are so welcoming they show you to your pitch and where all the facilities are when you arrive. They provide contact numbers for anytime day or night if you need help with anything. There’s a park on site which our kids loved it has been expanded on since we last visited last year with swing balls, basket balls, space hoppers and lots more which was a lovely touch to keep the little ones busy. I highly recommend you visit if you love peaceful, relaxing, calming sites with a fantastic atmosphere. We can’t wait to visit again!

Just got back from our first time at Stag Park, stunning and well maintained campsite, owners are lovely and even let us stick a bed sheet up to project the match, will absolutely be back again. A special thank you also goes out to the chap staying on site, that come to my rescue with a jumper pack for my motor when the battery had drained itself!!

Stag Park Caravan site is a real find, super friendly hosts that seem to work tirelessly through each day to maintain the highest of standards. The pitch sizes are very generous and have that continental feel with the separating tress/bushes along with a large grass area. We had great experience with the included WiFi during our stay. The very minor downsides if I am being picky is not having a drain on the pitch, (you do have a water supply so it is a shame you can't use a full service) and the grey waste disposal has been placed far to high up. Overall a fabulous stay and recommend anyone to visit, especially for visits to Hamsterley forest..
