Haggs Bank Bunkhouse & Campsite sits beside the River Nent near Nentsberry, Alston, in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — designated England's first UNESCO Geopark and often called England's Last Wilderness.

The building itself has deep local roots, originally serving as a mine shop and forge where lead miners rested and repaired their tools between underground shifts.

Today the renovated site offers a bunkhouse, a touring area with electric hook-ups, and a campsite set within a wildflower meadow that includes orchids.

A purpose-built firepit is available on site, and barbecues raised off the ground are permitted on the campsite. The operation runs its own spring water supply and treatment plant as part of a broader commitment to minimising environmental impact.
