Award Winning Campsite in Northumberland

WCF are proud to own a portfolio of three AA accredited 5 star camping sites in Northumberland, Edinburgh and the Peak District.

AA Platinum Pennant Herding Hill Farm is one of the best campsites in Northumberland, with a choice of tent and touring facilities, Wigwam cabins with hot tub, adults only glamping pods with hot tub and a luxury lodge. Additional amenities at this 5 star camping site include an indoor campers kitchen, animal petting farm and a sauna.

Platinum pennant campsites are considered to be amongst the very best campsites in the UK, with all of them being 5 star camping sites. AA Platinum Stars recognise the very best campsites and caravan parks that consistently offer outstanding camping experiences. Awarded by the AA team of inspectors, this supreme accolade is awarded to the very best camping parks with a Quality Score of 95% and above with a 5 Star rating. Herding Hill Farm is one of only three of the best campsites in Northumberland to be awarded the AA Platinum Pennant, and among less than 60 to receive the accolade nationally.
