Bolam Lake

Bolam Lake

Wake up in peaceful paddocks surrounded by the beautiful Northumberland countryside and wildlife and finish off your day with a barbeque, relaxing around a fire pit and a lakeside walk at the picturesque Bolam Lake Country Park which is located opposite our campsite.

We are a small family run campsite that offers relaxing, almost wild camping not far from Newcastle. We offer spacious, non-electric grass pitches surrounded by beautiful parkland. We are within 30 minutes of the Northumberland Coast and Hadrian's Wall so it’s a prime location for great days out. Our paddock pitches are enclosed in a peaceful area next to woodland with stunning views of grazing horses and parkland.

We may be located in the heart of Northumberland but there’s still lots to do when you are out and about. Belsay village is only a five-minute drive and has a lovely shop, a café and Belsay Hall and Castle. Ponteland, and the market town of Morpeth are only 20-minute drives and offer great leisure centres, shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafés, restaurants and takeaways.

What our guests say about us …. 

We always love returning to Bolam Lake Camping Paddock. You can’t find a better site to start the camping year - Jill keeps the place spotless and David makes you feel welcome from the moment you pull up and they are always willing to give you a hand. We will definitely be returning throughout the year.

Lovely peaceful site, very clean, lovely scenery and plenty of space around the pitch.

Lovely walks through the country park which is literally a few steps from the site.

David and Jill were very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us.

We'll definitely be back again
