Campsites for hikers near Gateshead

·

Looking for hiking-friendly camping near Gateshead? You’ve got over 100 options, all set up for walkers who want to spend their nights under canvas and their days exploring the North East’s footpaths. Expect sites with campfires, showers, and pet-friendly pitches—no need to compromise after a long day on the trail. Prices start at just £20 a night, with the average closer to £85. Top picks include Beirhope Alpacas (86 reviews) where you’ll wake up to alpacas grazing nearby, The Old Chapel Campsite (58 reviews) for a spot of quiet in a converted churchyard, and Walkmill Campsite (43 reviews) beside the River Coquet—handy for fishing after your hike. You’ll find trails right from your tent, plus chances for climbing and wildlife-watching. Rubbish and facilities are usually close by, but check each listing for the details. I’ve camped these parts plenty—pack your boots, a rain jacket, and don’t skip the sunrise over the hills.

The price of this yurt is based on an occupancy of 2 people. Any other people who will be staying on the sofa bed will add a charge of £40 per person per night for breakfast and their stay. All yurts come with electrical battery pack, chargeable lanterns, tea/coffee, homemade biscuits, log burning stoves, towels, full breakfast included from the hotel, an outdoor seating area and access to our outdoor toasty warm woodland shower as well as our very cute, wooden toilet cabin.
