Meadow Farm Park

We booked to stay here for 7 nights with our motorhome and our two dogs.Quiet location and staff were amenable when we asked to check in early so we could go to Durham for our Covid jabs.We chose our pitch as there was no staff there on our arrival or when we returned from Durham.Camp is classed as family friendly because of the animals, but we felt facilities were small and basic. We were asked to keep our dogs on leads which we seldom do as they are so well behaved and under control but they kept insisting. They were not bothering anyone else and we had to put up with screaming kids, kids running through our site and other dogs on our site. After weekend and being alone we just kept them around us.The toilet/shower block is one prefab building near entrance which has 3 showers and 3 toilets. Shared between both malefemale but only one entrance door. Covid rules state 1 person in building at a time which was ignored during weekend. They were very basic and not overly clean.We were only guests after Sunday and on Wednesday night we asked for the toilets/showers to be cleaned as they had not been touched all week and were grubby. Pot wash laundry also dirty and bins inside and outside building not emptied all week until Friday morning.Owner’s response to our cleaning request was to argue they had been cleaned and that he thought we were using the facilities in our “posh camper”. It was obvious they were lying as they were definitely not clean.They then cleaned them when we reminded them we were paying to use their facilities. Under sinks in toilet/shower block were loads of used toilet rolls and rubbish and no hot water taps in sinks as showers are electric.Their prices are too expensive for the basic facilities- extra charges for awnings, dogs, washing machine & showers when paying around £38 a night for a grass electric hook up. We didn’t have to pay for showers / washing machine as staying 7 nights but do expect to for shorter stays. Not sure also how they can get away with shared facilities for men/women.We decided to leave after 6 nights to go somewhere nicer.Would not recommend this site. Having run my own hospitality business arguing with guests is not the way to sort out problems.

We visited good friends who were staying here for a few nights. Good site with lovely views. Owner was very friendly and accommodating.

This is a brilliant camp site. Facilities are plentiful and clean, the prices are great and there are no finnickity rules. The owner just wants people to come and have a nice time. The play area is really nice and there are live animals roaming the site. Everyone we met there was really friendly and it was quiet at night. We'd would visit again.

Large grass field with all sorts of chicken walking around. Owner also keeps dogs. View is nice. Facilities ok. We received a warm welcome and had a quiet night in our tent. Gate is locked.

Fantastic campsite with warm and experienced owners. Beautiful views, Clean toilets an showers, earthy fire pits and lots of space between pitches. I have now Visited all year round for he past 6 years and I have to say, it just gets better! This is a hidden gem. 5*

We stayed for 2 nights with our dog, the shower block/toilet was clean and well lit. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend for families.

What a gem of a campsite and ran by superb staff. We had a last minute weekend with friends kids range from 5 to 9 they all loved it. Nice chill out location. We will be regulars to this site and recommend to all family and friends. Can't wait to see how the guys develop the place. Thanks for a great weekend. Gavin and Clare
