Easy to find, great location along side the Abbey and river with a nice walk across the footbridge and riverside. Nice and clean facilities very quiet. Thought having spare wheel chocks that you could borrow was a good idea as a few of the pitches do require them. Our second stay here will use again as not far from family.

Beautifully kept site beside ruined Priory and river. Little cafe on site. Only possible problem is that many pitches are not level due to grounds being part of the protected monument site. Choose carefully and make sure you have wedges.

Lovely quiet, peaceful site. Spotless shower block. ANPR didn't work for us at the exit barrier but just use the code sent to you & it works. Priory ruins were great for a wander & over the bridge for a riverside walk.

For best pitch levelness, select A, B or C areas. F4-7 are also fine. Water points are at the shower block so fill up camper there in large parking area at bins. Good Chem waste dump behing shower block & grey waste on slope before exit barrier beside extra toilets for when campsite toilets are being cleaned. 30 min walk to bus stop for a 20 min bus right to centre of Durhum. 28 mins past the hour & 10 past the hour for c £4 return. Uber taxi is c £12 or stance taxi in City is c £17 on meter. Saves you the return walk 'though. Would defo return to this campsite for a Durham visit. Cathedral is free & amazing & Crook Hall Gardens NT are lovely. £20 for x2 but with £5 off when you show bus ticket. Cafe was nice.
