Small, dog-friendly and family-run farm site five miles from the beach
A 15-minute drive from Craster, Seahouses and Alnwick Castle
Large field for kids and dogs to play; pubs and restaurants nearby

Nearby Northumberland sand, stargazing and plenty of scope for coastal or country walks… what a set of attractions Doxford Farm Camping has. As a small, family-run site five miles from the nearest sandy beach, there’s a lot to like about this place – especially for those who want to stay somewhere that welcomes dogs, children and couples with open arms too. It’s all well-maintained here, and some might say quite on the luxurious side, given that the communal facilities include three large shower rooms each with a large power shower, basin, loo, mirror and hair dryer. So, feel free to dress up for any visits to the local pubs and restaurants within five to 15 minutes’ drive of the site – they sell delicious food locally sourced from the land and sea. What sort of places can you set sail to, then? Low Newton-by-the Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Embleton Bay (15 minutes) are some of the closest sandy stretches. Further out, between 15 minutes and 20 minutes’ drive, are more dog-friendly beaches and coastal havens like Bamburgh, Seahouses, Craster and Beadnell Bay (and Alnwick is 15 minutes’ drive inland for attractions like a castle and a huge second-hand book shop with model trains). Back at your base, which is located on a family-run working farm, there’s heaps of space and peace for walks, stargazing or stopping to smell the large bank filled with daffodils and tulips in the spring or wildflowers and other plants in the summer. There’s a large field for kids, dogs (and any big kids) to let off steam, as well as a pot wash area with a large double sink and hot and cold water to deal with any barbecue leftovers.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Small and friendly, nice clean, tidy and very friendly. We were able to choose which pitch we wanted and how to set up which really helped set up level and position ourselves where we wanted to be. The showers with sink and toilet cubicles were well maintained and always clean. Easy to find, peaceful but easily accessible to local towns.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The peace, the space of the pitch, the views and how near we were to the nearby beaches.

Disliked: In the wooden information hut, there was a chalk board with the wifi code - a few of the numbers had been rubbed off making this unable to be used.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review our site. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. In terms of the WiFi code. It is also in the information book in big writing on the very first page. Alternatively we have it written everywhere that if there is anything at all during your stay please contact us, I could have easily rectified this and explained the code was also in the book. Thanks, Katryna

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The quiet simplicity of the site, very clean toilets and great facilities ( shower, hairdryer, hot water for dishes ) Lovely to have so few other campers and all quiet and considerate . A good location for travelling around this part of Northumberland , close to Howick, Alnwick, Bamborough etc. Very good value for money.

Local attractions

Here primarily for the sea? With sand dunes, castle ruins in the background and a view of Lindisfarne Island, Bamburgh beach (20 minutes’ drive) is a pretty good place to start. Dine on the classic Craster (15 minutes) kippers before taking a fishing trip from the harbour or head for Seahouses (15 minutes) if you fancy spending some time puffin and seal spotting on boat trips to the Farne Islands. Holy Island (35 minutes) is another island destination, accessible by car depending upon the tide, with a huge castle and priory. Compare notes with the castle in Alnwick (15 minutes), which runs re-enactments, jesting and other historical workshops. Leave enough time for an earl grey tea at Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum (15 minutes) too – after all, the earl it’s named after once lived there. Local wedding venues include Doxford Barns (15 minutes’ walk), Charlton Hall (20 minutes), Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa (five minutes’ drive) and Newton Hall (10 minutes).
