Nice site plenty of pitch space and tidy
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Plenty of space on the site and tidy close to the beach and Embleton village the Grey Inn is a good shout for food and drink and the golf course near Embleton beach is reasonable for food and drink as well and nice to sit outside.
Disliked Only two porter loos on site could have done with one more and having them spread out along the site abit.

Great base for exploring the lovely coastline with space but pricey
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Lots of space to separate yourself from other campers if need be.
Nice aspect with short walk to cafe and sour dough pizza caravan in evenings.
Disliked Feel it’s expensive for a patch of grass with two port a loos and one tap which are potentially a long walk away.
Missed not having any showers.
If you’re a light sleeper, pigeons and crows or cars on road next to pitches may wake you up

Spacious, friendly pop-up site near beach & pizza café — loved it!
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked We’re new to campervan life and were thrilled to find The Afterlands pop-up site. It was a brilliant spot for our campervan with plenty of space. As we were totally self-sufficient, the simple setup suited us perfectly. A big bonus was The Pizza Café just across the road — very popular and delicious! We also loved the flexibility of arrival and check-out. The beach was only a 20-minute walk away and well worth it — white sandy shores where my son braved a swim (brrr!) and was even joined by two sea lions 🦭. Friendly staff and super easy check-in. No dislikes at all — we’d definitely return!
