Northumberland campsites ranked among the best in the region by pitchup.com reviewers

Pitchup.com, the outdoor accommodation booking platform, has revealed its top-ranked sites for 2023, as rated by campers following their stay.

Wild Camping Northumberland, at Hedley on the Hill near Stocksfield, features at number 14, with Alnham Farm Campsite, near Whittingham, at number 17.

Each site was evaluated on aspects including location, value for money, quality of accommodation, activities and cleanliness. To be considered in the ‘review awards’, sites must have a minimum of 20 reviews in that year.

Pitchup’s founder Dan Yates says: “We keep the criteria simple and rely solely on verified customer feedback to ensure the list is unbiased and reflects real user experiences - almost one million reviews across the platform at last count.

"By showcasing genuine feedback from previous guests alongside average customer ratings across all listings, we aim to make it really easy for newcomers and seasoned campers alike to get a flavour of what to expect from their stay.

"North East England is such a striking part of the country, with amazing countryside and coastline, as well as a wealth of heritage to discover.

"Over half of 2023’s top-rated sites in the region are in the UK’s largest county North Yorkshire, which has a broad appeal to those looking for outdoor adventure, especially walking and cycling, as well as thriving market towns, charming villages and some great festivals.”
