Craggwood Holiday Home Park: A Woodland Retreat in the Heart of Teesdale

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Teesdale, Craggwood Holiday Home Park offers something rare, a countryside escape that still feels like home. With peaceful woodland walks, riverside scenery, and a genuine family-run atmosphere, it’s a place that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy simple, timeless moments surrounded by nature.

For those seeking static caravans or lodges for sale in County Durham, Craggwood offers the perfect balance of nature, community, and comfort.

A Family Story Rooted in Teesdale

Craggwood Leisure Ltd. is a family business with deep roots and dedication. When the Fairless family first took over a run-down park years ago, they saw more than empty pitches, they saw potential.

Through years of investment and care, Craggwood Holiday Home Park has become one of Teesdale’s most admired destinations, blending modern comfort with rural character.

Today, the family continues that same hands-on approach across their growing collection of Teesdale parks, each one designed as a “rural retreat” where owners can unwind in total peace.

Your Own Home-from-Home

Craggwood isn’t about crowded entertainment complexes or bustling clubs, it’s about space, serenity, and community. With a no-subletting policy, owners enjoy a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where neighbours soon become friends.

The park spans 38 acres of woodland, complete with riverside views, a children’s play area, football pitch, and Cunningham’s Family Bar, the social heart of the park.

Owners also benefit from:

• Gated entry with CCTV

• On-site shop and laundrette

• Pet-friendly grounds and open green space

Whether it’s a morning coffee on your decking or an evening stroll through the trees, Craggwood captures the essence of peaceful countryside living in Durham.

Beautifully Placed for Exploring

Craggwood’s location in Upper Teesdale places owners at the heart of some of the North East’s most scenic countryside and heritage landmarks.

From High Force Waterfall and Bowes Museum to Beamish and Durham Cathedral, there’s a new discovery in every direction.

Nearby market towns — Barnard Castle, Staindrop, Bishop Auckland, and Durham — offer cafés, restaurants, and traditional shops to explore.

With local attractions such as Kynren, Raby Castle, and Catterick Market just a short drive away, Craggwood combines the best of relaxation and adventure.

If you’re exploring holiday parks or caravans for sale in Teesdale, this is the perfect place to start.

A Park Built on Passion and Care

Every detail at Craggwood reflects the family’s dedication — from the paved pathways and manicured lawns to the carefully maintained plots and old-style street lighting that adds warmth and character to the evenings.

With seasonal options ranging from 8, 10, and 12-month stays, owners can choose a lifestyle that suits them best, secure in the knowledge that they’re part of a park built on trust, quality, and genuine care.

A Growing Family of Parks

Craggwood Holiday Home Park is part of the Craggwood Leisure Ltd. group, which also includes Riverside Touring Park and Riverview Luxury Retreat, both celebrated for their exceptional standards and beautiful locations.

Two more exciting destinations, Green Acres Lodge Park and Hummerbeck Camping Retreat, are currently in development, continuing the family’s vision to create some of Teesdale’s most peaceful holiday destinations.
