The rush of the River Tees provides a constant, soothing soundtrack at this year-round site, where the white-capped waters that give the park its name tumble past your pitch. Nestled in the wooded valley of this historic Durham river, dappled sunlight filters through the canopy while the fresh, mineral scent of moving water fills the air.
This is a practical base for families and couples exploring County Durham's wild side, from the dramatic High Force waterfall to the heather-clad expanses of the North Pennines. The site welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans, making it accessible for all camping styles. Its location puts you within reach of the region's industrial heritage sites and the charming market towns that dot this lesser-known corner of North East England.
Facilities are straightforward and well-maintained, with showers and toilets serving the pitches. The site operates throughout the year, appealing to hardier campers who appreciate the Tees Valley's ever-changing moods across the seasons. Ask about campfire policies when you arrive. The atmosphere here is peaceful and outdoorsy, with the river's energy providing all the entertainment you need.
