Great accessibility for camping.
The campsite is level which is great for the chair, the views are spectacular. There is a disabled toilet and shower room which is very large. It has a fully accessible shower with shower seat on the wall. There are plenty of grab bars around the room. There is also a thermostat in the room allowing you to make the room warmer if needed. To access the campsite accessible facilities request a key on arrival and hand it back when you leave the site. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

A new dawn or a new start
The morning after Storm Babet caused so much devastation across the country, the gentle wind was blowing low cloud across the lower moors as the sun rose above Killhope Law. Could this signify a new start for people, being the light after the storm? Whether it is a physical new start you need or your mental health needs a place of escape, Carrshield Camping Barn can provide both.

Even in the middle of October there can be wonderful sights to behold on the moors above Carrshield
The weather for most of the UK at this time of year can be quite gloomy, the North Pennines AONB is no exception, but it is often possible to have those dramatic moments when you least expect.
