  • 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.

What customers say

This small, peaceful campsite offers spacious, level pitches and exceptionally clean, well-maintained facilities, including modern shower/toilet cubicles. Guests frequently praise the tranquil atmosphere, beautiful rural setting, and convenient location for exploring the Northumberland coast and nearby attractions. While generally receiving high praise, minor points include a desire for better ventilation in some bathrooms and occasional issues with washing-up sink plugs. The site is highly recommended for its quietude and quality.

2 bedroom camping pod (four person)

Liked Very Comfy bed, sheets and towels all lovely quality , great shower , kitchen had everything you needed .
Lounge area was homely and felt personal .

Disliked Didn’t like how the Pod was very dark , especially the bunk bed rooms at the back , found them to be really creepy and don’t think the grandchildren would have wanted to sleep in them if they were with us .

The pod could be much better if it was brightened up with some white painted areas . For this reason only I would not book them again .

John S.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked small well run, very neat site. 3 unisex washrooms worked very well and very clean, plenty of room with large shower base, chair and hangers.
Even though there were only 7 pitches (2 non electric) pitch sizes were substantial

Disliked Very minor observation dish washing area would benefit from a proper draining board.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We are new to caravaning so still finding our way in the caravaning world. We stopped here for 4 nights. The pitches are huge and level which made it easy to get the caravan and awning up easy. The views are lovely and it's very quiet which is what we wanted. The showers and toilets were cleaned everyday so were spotless. There's a track you can walk ya dog's where you can find little elf doors on the trees which I thought was cute.

Disliked Nothing

Boothill camping pod (three person)

Liked The Boothill pod was brilliant. It had everything needed and more, and was beautifully decorated. The extra touches were great, like tea & coffee, board games etc. I also liked being on the same campsite as family with their motorhome, and the location was perfect.

Disliked The window let in midgies, but I needed it open. Maybe some kind of flyscreen would be useful

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Huge pitch size, 3 self-contained shower, basin & toilet units (clean and cleaned regularly), dog walking areas on- and off-site, easy contact with owners if needed, fresh eggs available to buy

Disliked Our neighbours arrived at 10pm with kids and made a bit of noise setting up, but were great the following 2 days and nights. Having no reception or 'arrive by time' has its pros and cons, but actually we found it better

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind comments and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We do have an ‘arrive by’ time which is 8pm but sometimes it can be a little hard to ensure all guests adhere to due to unforeseen circumstances for the guests. Thanks again and we hope you visit again in the future. Kind Regards, Katryna

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).
