Tyne View Camping is a peaceful spot in Tyne and Wear, not far from Hedley on the Hill village. It's on a farm run by David and his family, who welcome guests to enjoy the beautiful countryside views.

You're allowed to bring a barbecue or firepit for cooking, and you can buy supplies in Prudhoe nearby. Or, you can walk to Hedley on the Hill for a meal at a top-notch pub.
There are plenty of things to do nearby, like walking in the woods, playing golf, or trying gliding. You can also visit Hadrian’s Wall, Newcastle upon Tyne, or explore the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a varied and enjoyable break.Also this June we will be open for the Sam Fender weekend ie June 12 til the 16th if anyone wants to camp £20 a night plus a taxi for £20

After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the sea.
With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gazed at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches.
The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here.
This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos).
If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

The view was amazing and a cute little spot close to a verity of towns as well as walks. My car had issues with the exhaust box and Cathryn was able to help out by calling a local person to have a look at it which was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. There's cute farm cats too!

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
Absolutely delightful place!! We arrived in the pitch black but found it very easily. The hut was beautifully furnished, when we woke this complemented the absolutely breathtaking views on what was a very cold winter morning but the hut was very warm and cosy. I will 100% recommend this stay and will most likely be returning for a longer stay to take in some more of the Welsh countryside.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
The hut was lovely and had everything that we need for weekend getaway. The land was so peaceful and there were alpacas nearby. We arrived late a night and took the wrong turn at first but once we got on the right path it was easy to find. Would recommend if you're looking for quiet time off.

My friend and I were bonkers enough to camp here on NYE and we already can’t wait to return. Honestly the best NYE we’ve had! Everything about our stay was 5*, from booking to leaving. Sian was an absolute legend, we had the best pitch on the mountain. Absolutely stunning views. Fire pit was awesome, and the sheep were an added bonus! Lovely little collie pup came to say hi too.
Thank you for an epic new years adventure, we will definitely be back!

The Peacock Shepherds Hut was amazing. The views are incredible and the hut was really comfortable and well thought out from the lovely Peacock details to underfloor heating. The facilities provided everything I needed to enjoy a peaceful break. Fantastic place to relax and reset listening to birds and enjoying the roaming peacocks and wandering down to see the Alpacas. Carol makes you feel so welcome. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

This Alpaca farm is an absolute must visit. Unfortunately we were only here for 1 night but what a visit! This specific pitch is the middle one 1 of 3 that are in front of the Alpaca/Sheep fields and we couldn't have asked for better neighbours.
Lynne was extremely helpful upon our arrival and offered help with anything if it was needed...which it was when I realised I had the mattress but not the stopper to keep it inflated! She came to my rescue with cushions to sleep on which was over and above as far as I'm concerned.
We were provided carrots to feed the animals that evening and my son (4yo) loved feeding Harry the goat and between him and his friends it was a game to see who could feed Houdini before Harry got in the way 🤣
This morning my son was scheduled to feed the alpacas and whilst he was initially nervous he warmed up on the walk and confidently clapped Deeno.
This site is a bit off the road but take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Beirhope Farm is in a pretty stunning part of the country and I would 100% recommend a visit to anyone looking for everything you need on a camping trip.
If you forget anything she has everything covered, including an honesty 'larder' for the snacks or bits and pieces that you've forgotten.
Stunning! We will be back.

The best great views campsites near Ravenglass guide
Where to go
Western Coast of Cumbria
The historic western coast of Cumbria, where Ravenglass stands, is a region that dates back to a time when ancient Romans guarded the area against barbarian invasion. Along with ruins of Roman baths and other historic landmarks, the area is dotted with camping sites along the beach and cliffs to inland valleys and fells. Coastal campsites can be found from St. Bees Head Heritage Coast, north of Ravenglass, and next to the pristine sands of Silecroft Beach, south of town. Enjoy waterfront views of the Irish Sea from caravan pitches along the coast, as well.
Eskdale
Just east of Ravenglass, the glacial valley of Eskdale is known for its rolling landscapes and dense woodlands. A beloved camping destination, Eskdale offers a quieter experience than the more central Lake District areas. Glamping pods and campsites with tent pitches offer easy access to popular hiking paths, including the route up to Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. Then, explore River Esk and Wast Water, visit HardKnott Roman Fort, built in the 2nde century, and bask in the glory of Stanley Ghyll Waterfall, set in a deep gorge.
Buttermere
A Lake District adventure calls for lakeside camping retreats. Crummock Water and Loweswater, along with Buttermere itself, promise a tranquil escape into a beautiful valley with verdant meadows and dramatic fells. Many farms in the area offer glamping pods and luxury yurts, giving campers comfortable access to canoeing and kayaking on Buttermere Lake. Fly fishing for brown trout, especially in the early morning during summer, is also especially popular here. Or go river fishing on River Cocker for another immersive experience.
When to go
Camping around Ravenglass is most comfortable from late spring to early autumn. Lake District weather is most pleasant in summertime, due to warmer temperatures, drier conditions, and longer daylight hours for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities. Summer is the peak season for trout fishing on the lakes, too. For a quieter experience with fewer people, consider camping during the shoulder months. Campers should note that rain can be in the forecast year-round.
