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 can see the Tyne Valley from the camping pitches, which is great for stargazing at night. The site is basic with just water taps and toilets, no showers, but there's lots of space for kids and dogs to play.
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

Absolutely loved it , always wanted to try wild camping without being to wild if that makes sense, beautiful views all round, rugged scenery, great pitches, was a bit wet and blustery when I went but it was an amazing site and yes a 4x4 is recommended, hope to be back very soon.

Such a lovely spot. Very idyllic and private. Pitches were a decent distance from each other which was really nice - it was nice knowing other people were around but having your own private space. Dog friendly, which was brilliant - camped for the first time with our boy. He didn't like the owls! We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Woodsworth Exploring - our kids loved camping in a woodland, and it is well-looked after and beautiful. You do have to walk in with your gear, but they provide wheelbarrows for you to use. Emma was very responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to come back sometime soon!

I had the most wonderful stay at this campsite over the weekend. It’s such a lovely spot, set on a farmyard where chickens, ducks, and geese wander around freely, which gives it a really peaceful and charming atmosphere. Each pitch comes with its own firepit, and wood is thoughtfully provided – such a nice touch that made the evenings really special.
The host, Ted, is absolutely brilliant. He’s a genuinely lovely, well-spoken gentleman who takes the time to come around the site to check that everyone is happy and comfortable. You really feel looked after here.
It’s rare to find a campsite that feels this welcoming and relaxed. Honestly, I can’t say a bad word about it – it’s perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cosy, friendly getaway.

We had a fantastic stay! Ted was an incredible host - welcoming, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The land itself is absolutely beautiful, well-maintained, clean and views are stunning. Even during a busy bank holiday weekend, there was plenty of space for everyone, so it didn’t felt crowded.
A lovely bonus was the presence of ducks and chickens on the property, which meant we had access to delicious fresh eggs in the morning..such a treat!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

We loved camping on the hill top! There was other campers present but quite far away so we go our own privacy & wild camp experience. The hills up to the camp are not suitable for a typical car but we drove to where we could and carried our bags up which wasn’t too much of a fuss. We were greeted by a man who provided us fire wood & the fire pit. He retired later to check if we needed anymore too. Very friendly and accommodating. We were also accompanied by the cutest border collie named moss who was the cutest pup ever. The clear night stars were amazing, witnessed 4 shooting stars and woke up to the most beautiful sunrise. Definitely recommend ✨

Can't rate our stay highly enough. Beautiful location with the most gorgeous views. The ducks that roam the site are just the sweetest! Lots and lots to do in the local area if you want to but if you prefer the rural feel you've certainly got that here too. The host Ted is wonderful, made us feel extremely welcome and certainly went above and beyond to help us and make us feel at home. We enjoyed our stay so much we cancelled our next site and stayed here an extra 2 nights. Definitely coming back 😊
