Given the lush, tranquil settings at Strawberry Hill Farm Caravan and Camping Park, it’s a little surprising that the centre of Durham rests an approximate 10-minute drive away. The family-run park is green, spacious and peaceful, sprinkled with trees and manicured, green, open spaces for the young ones to make their fun and enjoy time away from screens and schedules. Strawberry Hill Farm rests in a central location, easily accessible via the A181, and a few miles from the A1, making it a cracking stopover point for long drives as well as extended stays. Guests can blend in beaches and seaside amusements to an otherwise rustic escape, with easy trips to the gorgeous Durham Heritage Coast located an ideal 20-minutes’ away. The friendly owners Adam and Louise have perfected the art of anticipating what campers need after a long drive or a day out, providing a handy tearoom for savouring a piping hot cup of tea and coffee. Guests can sort breakfasts, afternoon teas, and delicious homemade cakes with ease, eliminating the need to drive around for grub. Kids and toddlers can make friends and scamper around the kid’s play area, working off the sugar rush before bedtime. A handy village shop is a 5-minute drive away, and there are several supermarkets nearby. Dogs are welcome.
