Dog-friendly site on the Northumberland coast, one mile from the beach
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; near the St Oswald’s Way
On-site bar with covered seating area; playground on site

An off-grid, no-frills, quiet and family-friendly campsite, Coast and Castles Campsite is one mile from the Northumberland coast. About 10 minutes' drive from Alnwick and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this dog-friendly site is well-situated for hunting down coves and castles on the coast with the St Oswald’s Way footpath five minutes’ drive away. And what to do first? Will it be munching on kippers in Craster (10 minutes' drive away) or swimming in the sea followed by a warming cuppa on the nearest sandy beach, five minutes’ drive away? Either way, you’ll be in a good place to build up a solid itinerary on the Northumberland coast and then return to the site for a chilled drink at the covered seating area in the on-site bar. With a play area on site too, kids will have their own places to run off any extra energy before the end of the day. And if all that gets you breaking a sweat, there’s a handy amenities block to freshen up. Now for a bite to eat… while you’re out and about, there’s a restaurant beside the bay in Boulmer, five minutes’ drive away, and a couple of cafés in Longhouton, five minutes’ drive away in the opposite direction. There’s a food shop here too, handy for picking up bits and bobs for a chilled-out barbecue back on site.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Wonderful site with very clean facilities, the Gin Tin was lovely. We only a couple of drinks as it was a very cold breeze on the Friday evening. Very quiet even though there were lots of families on over the weekend. This was our very first attempt at a trip away in our motorhome and our experience was brilliant and fills us with hope and excitement for the future.

Disliked: None

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Easy self check in name on the board pitch up and sorted, owner noticed we were confused about a change of plan and came to help straight away. The toilet facilities are super clean and hot water nice size bins. Funky door signs made me laugh. Bar and surrounding area super pretty lit up on a night, and a play area there for kids although it was raining we didn't use it. Never had to qué for toilet however it wasn't too busy due to the storm. Not far from the beach and Alnwick it's self meaning plenty of things to access had a lovely day at lilidorei so all in all perfect trip out and will be back soon 😊 thank you.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Set your compass towards the sea… whether it’s walking and cycling around Seaton Point (10 minutes’ drive), watersports down at Alnmouth beach (10 minutes) or dipping in and out of the sand dunes at Warkworth beach (15 minutes), there are plenty of coastal landscapes to choose from around here. As for the beach towns, Craster (15 minutes) is all about the kippers and art galleries. If you plan ahead, you could book a fishing trip from the harbour – or make a day of it and check out the National Trust’s Dunstanburgh Castle (15 minutes) nearby to see what life used to be like in the 14th-century fortress. Another commanding castle resides in Alnwick (10 minutes), but this town is also a sure bet for browsing bookshelves in the bookshops, ambling around gardens or rolling onto the steam railway. Those of you who fancy another beach day might want to go to its sandy shore or continue the coastal party in Amble (20 minutes), where beach huts, fish shacks, canoeing, kayaking and boating make for a classic day out.
