Nice place to visit Hadrian’s wall, easy walking and well maintained with helpful staff. Overnight sleeping in motorhomes is not allowed but overnight parking is allowed for £10. The National Park encourages campers to use local campsites and does not want to take their business.
Good parking if you are looking for an easy visit to Hadrians Wall. £3 for 1 hour then £1 for additional hours. Looks like sign has been updated since last review as clearly says overnight stays not allowed. Clean toilets and nice shop/info centre on site.
Beautiful quiet place. Stayed overnight for £10…however…found out the next day that overnight parking means as long as you’re not sleeping in it. Checked on website and it does state no sleeping overnight. The signage at the pay machine doesn’t say this so it is easy to make the same mistake we did. Up to you as to what to do with this info.
Paid £10 for 24 hours. The toilet is open 24 hours. Beautiful walk from the parking area to Hadrian's Wall. Large parking area with plenty of spaces.Translating
stayed the night, toilets open and clean and WiFi available. Only van there, was very quiet and peaceful. Some activity around 5.30am possibly warden checking. paid £10 and lasted until midnight the following day
Stayed here last week, nice and quiet, toilets open 24hours, cafe was closed the day we stayed but wasn't an issue, one other van when there.
Fantastic overnight stop. Arrived at 1 o'clock; the £10 ticket covered me until midnight the next day! Toilets very clean and open all night. Lots to do here—hiking, cycling, and the museum is very interesting. Room for large vans. Staff very friendly.Translating
What a great museum! Well worth a visit. Highly recommended alongside visiting Vindolanda museum. Plenty of space to park a larger xlb van.
Great stop very quiet £10 overnight charge toilets clean and easy to get to Hadrians Wall
Paid parking for visiting Hadrian's Wall; it's fine.Translating
Great stopover for walking Hadrian's Wall. We stayed one night and it was fantastic - very quiet. We walked the 14km to Sycamore Gap :-( Went to the fabulous Twice Brewed pub and then got the bus back to the carpark. For £10 overnight parking it's brilliant - thank you for the provision. No service but toilets open.
Excellent—very quiet, idyllic overnight parking spot. Great for £10. There are also toilets, which we did not use.Translating
We stayed here with three other motorhomes and had a very peaceful night. The toilets are okay, and £10 for the night is really fair, especially with the magnificent view down from the hill.Translating
Excellent place, quiet, with toilets available. We slept alone. Large rubbish bins. The walk along Hadrian's Wall was thrilling.Translating
Very nice place, both for short walks around the visitor centre and the remains of Hadrian's Wall, and for spending a night for £10. Free Wi-Fi and toilets also remained open.Translating
brilliant overnight parking, level space, toilet open all night, right on Hadrian's Wall path. Peaceful at night, busy with walkers from morning. Nice little info centre and shop, many walks from the site. Signs state £10 overnight, paid this and ticket was then valid till 23:59 next day - bargain! Please let's look after this rare spot -respecting the opportunity
Quiet location. Unfortunately, the toilets were not clean.Translating
