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. To make enquiries or book, call the site on 01434 220175 or e-mail

💚💜 Oh, Bellingham, you really know how to put on a show! ✨

Just look at what was happening in the skies above Bellingham last night! 😍

The Northern Lights made a beautiful appearance, painting the night sky with shades of green and purple. Moments like these remind us just how special this little corner of Northumberland really is. ❤️

And with autumn here and winter just around the corner, it’s a wonderful time to come and experience it for yourself.

Imagine spending your days exploring the beautiful Northumberland countryside, enjoying the peace and quiet, then wrapping up warm, stepping outside and looking up at a sky full of stars. 🌌

We can’t promise you the Northern Lights, of course (if only we had that kind of influence! 😂), but we do have some incredible dark skies, beautiful surroundings and a lovely warm welcome waiting for you.

🔥 And after a chilly evening outdoors, there’s always our cosy communal lounge with its log-burning stove to warm you up!

🏕️ We’re open until 17th January, so there’s still plenty of time to come and make some wonderful memories with us, whether you’re visiting in your caravan, motorhome, tent or staying in one of our camping pods.

❤️ And a little something else…

We’ve got a rather exciting week coming up here at Bellingham! We don’t want to give too much away just yet, but we’ll have more to share with you over the coming weeks. Keep an eye on our page! 😊

In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful photos from last night, and if you fancy experiencing the magic of Northumberland for yourself, we’d absolutely love to welcome you.

📞 Need a hand with booking? Just give us a call. We’re always happy to help!

See you in Bellingham! ❤️

For those of you on-site today, we have a decent chance of some clear sky tonight. As well as taking a look yourself (moon very low to the South - so may be hard to observe), you can follow the fascinating images of the moon from NASA, guided by our local astronomer Wil (our WiFi permitting! perhaps use 4G!).
Better news on the WiFi front - next year should see us with Gb fibre broadband!

I will be Hosting a special Facebook live this year September 19th at 8PM ( BST)

My 7th year taking part in NASA’s International observe the Moon night.

I’ll be talking about our fascinating celestial neighbour and sharing some incredible views of the Moon.

I hope you can join me 😊

What do you do on your day off from running a campsite! Why, walk 26 miles of course! Started at Alnwick Castle, finished at Bamburgh Castle.
Well done David! He finished well up the field in a hugely popular fundraising event, superbly organised by Macmillan, which has raised over £1 Million altogether so far! What a beautiful day it was. A huge thanks to all who supported David. He’ll be back on-site tomorrow with not a hint of hobbling! 😁

🥾💚 Good luck, David!

This Saturday, our very own David is taking on the Macmillan Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike, a huge 26-mile walk from Alnwick to Bamburgh in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

It’s a cause that means a great deal to David personally, and we’d love to give him a big Bellingham send-off before he sets off on Saturday.

If you’d like to support David, find out why he’s taking on the challenge, or make a donation, you can visit his fundraising page here:

👉 https://mightyhikesfundraising.macmillan.org.uk/fundraising/davids-fundraising-page1773?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=dssb-CL&utm_content=MPC

And whether you donate or not, please leave him a little good luck in the comments, 26 miles is no small stroll! 😄🥾

Good luck, David - all of us at Bellingham will be cheering you on! 💚

How quickly does a year go by?! 😳❤️

It honestly doesn’t seem five minutes since the last Bellingham Show & Country Festival… and here we are again! 🎪🐂🌾

This Saturday 29th August, Bellingham will once again be buzzing, and we’re genuinely excited to see everyone coming into the village for what is always such a brilliant day.

There’s something really special about events like this - local people, visitors, families, farmers, traders, food, entertainment and a whole community coming together for the day. ❤️

If you’re staying with us at Bellingham Camping this weekend, make the most of it! Head along to the show, enjoy everything that’s happening and then explore a little more of Bellingham while you’re here. We’re always talking to our campers about the lovely local places to grab something to eat or drink too… because a good day out definitely shouldn’t end hungry. 😂🍰☕🍻

A huge good luck to everyone involved in putting the show together, all the exhibitors, traders, competitors and volunteers. We hope the weather behaves and you all have an absolutely fantastic day! ☀️🤞

And to everyone visiting…

Welcome to Bellingham and have a brilliant weekend! ❤️
