Crook of the River primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Walkmill camp site is a little gem on the river coquet a few miles up stream from Amble . It's off the beaten track but it's Ideally situated as a pieceful base to explore the Northumberland countryside and also the best coastline in the county. The owners of this beautiful little flower meadow are very friendly and helpful. I love this camp, and have visited twice, and I have seen the hard work and dedication to the site from the owners, who have planted hundreds of sapling trees which will be spectacular in a few years time.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we look forward to welcoming you again in the future at Walkmill. The trees have been an adventure for me and we're looking forward to watching them grow and seeing how they develop over the next few years aswell .

Top Circle primitive grass campsite

Liked: Services

Disliked: Not being able to access any of the land bordering the site by the river.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. Just to address the comment regarding the river bank. I can understand your viewpoint as water has a magical draw to it, however, the land bordering our site is a Natural England SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), which also has fishing rights attached to it. This is the reason why we need to have a boundary fenceline. We have cut the pathways as close as possible to the boundary so people can still see the river and appreciate the wildlife it has to offer.

Fantatic campsite, great facilities, excellently run, lovely location.

Route directions

If you are following Google Maps, please drive through Warkworth with the castle on your left. Google Maps tries to take drivers down Watershaugh Road and across the ford, which is not suitable for motorhomes or caravans and, depending upon river levels, cars too. There is a footbridge to the right of the ford for cyclists and walkers which is accessible from a narrow footpath against the hedgerow (at the last bend before you drop down to the river).

Local attractions

The village of Warkworth is a sweet little place. While history buffs explore the ruins of the 13th-century hilltop castle and riverside hermitage, wildlife enthusiasts can go on a puffin-spotting cruise to Coquet Island. Of course, you might just prefer to take it easy on Warkworth beach, a vast sandy stretch that is also popular for watersports. The landscape of Druridge Bay Country Park (20 minutes' drive) includes a dune-fringed beach (dotted with World War II defences), a boating lake and woodlands. Active types flock here to cycle, paddleboard and surf, but there is also plenty of birdwatching to be done, with swans among the winged residents. The dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (25 minutes) sit atop a promontory stretching into the North Sea. From there, take a 25-minutes coastal walk to the fishing village of Craster, where you can sample the local speciality: smoked kipper.
