Ivy Hall Farm is located on the edge of the village of Bowes
Discover the North of England at this quiet hideaway site in the historic friendly village of Bowes near Barnard Castle.
This family owned site is positioned between the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines on the edge of an area of outstanding beauty and only a short drive from the Lake District.
The Bowes Loop of the Pennine way comes though the site which makes a great overnight stop off and in addition there are many miles of local footpaths in some stunning scenery.
On the edge of the site is the Mill Force waterfalls on the River Greta which is great for a paddle or if you are feeling brave a swim in the mill pool!
The village pub is only a 10 minute walk away as well as Bowes Castle and the site of a Roman Fort.

Leonard Marlow 30/07/2021 5/5 A lovely rural campsite a short walk from Bowes village centre and right on the Pennine Way. Well kept, very clean and tidy. Good value for money including hot water in shower and toilet block. Owner was pleasant and welcoming. Grass Pitches are immaculate. Rural setting enhanced by free ranging chickens and wild rabbits. Main A66 is very close by and rumble of trucks is noticeable however it's not intrusive, visually it's nonexistent. I look forward to returning to this treasure of a site.
Marc Collett 21/09/2020 5/5 1 night stay in mid- September. Lovely spacious site with gorgeous views, sparkling facilities, fabulous honesty box and an extremely friendly welcome to the site by the hosts. Don’t be put off by it’s proximity to the main road, it feels a mile away when you’re on site. Will certainly be back. Marc Collett 21/09/2020 5/5 1 night stay in mid- September.

Neal Eaves 25/06/2020 5/5 Booked for a week last year (2019) enjoyed it so much we stayed a 2nd week. The site is quiet and clean with great views, the owners are welcoming and very friendly. There is so much to do in the area and some great walks from the site. Will definitely be staying again. Norman Knubley 02/06/2019 5/5 Stayed for 4 nights with our 9 year old grandson and dog. We don't know which enjoyed it best. Plenty of good walks directly from the site most of which took in the river.
A good big camping field and nice well maintained toilets and shower make this an ideal location to explore this area that is full of history and beautiful scenery
We will visit again.

There was some lovely walks from the site, fabulous views, the facilities were nice and clean, shower was hot, and all at a great price, what more could you ask for?!

Rebecca Oliver 22/04/2019 5/5 Had a fantastic stay over the Easter Bank Holidays. Really lovely site nice clean toilets and shower. Owners really helpful and information sheet provided was very useful. Excellent dog walks especially to the river as our dog loves to swim. Loads of open spaces for children to explore. Our son made some friends and went exploring rabbit holes in the adjoining fields. Nice walk into the village to the Ancient Unicorn pub which had a lovely menu (although we didn't eat there as weather so nice we had a BBQ every night). Will definitely be returning!
