Camping in Northumberland

Northumberland's wide skies and dark, quiet nights make it one of England's best counties for camping, and the choice runs from simple farm fields to well-appointed glamping pods. Around Haltwhistle and along Hadrian's Wall, sites like Reddis Farm Campsite and Valley View Camping put walkers and history-seekers within easy reach of the Wall path, while others sit further into the Northumberland countryside near working farms such as Gallowmoor Farm Campsite and North Bellshill Farm Campsite.

For something more sheltered, pods and cabins at places including GlamPods Northumberland, Bluebell Wood Glamping and Sycamore Cottage and Glamping Pods offer heating and proper beds without losing the outdoor feel. Elwick Campsite and Heckley Farm Camping suit those happy with a tent and a fire pit, and smaller spots like Huntlaw Hideaway are worth seeking out if you want fewer neighbours and a quieter pitch.
