What customers say
This basic, peaceful campsite offers spacious pitches with a "wild camping" feel. Guests appreciate the tranquil atmosphere, dark skies, and proximity to Embleton village and beaches. The wood-fired pizza place and cafe opposite are highly praised. Facilities are limited to portaloos and a tap, with some reviews noting they can fill quickly, especially during peak times. Road noise is occasionally mentioned. Overall, it's recommended for those seeking a simple, quiet break in a great location.

Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked We loved our visit to this mysteriously named campsite. The facilities are basic but clean, and the lack of showers is reflected in the very reasonable cost. It is very well situated close to the beach and the village with the added bonus of a pizza pop up across the road.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Really good clean back to basics site. Clean & smell free Portaloos ( no sink in them tho)
Good walk down to the beach through a little section of forest & farmers fields. £10 a night is great and you can arrive or leave anytime you want which is a bonus! Pizza opposite is gorgeous

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Simple no frills site, the porta loos were very clean. Nice if you want a more off grid experience. A 10 minute walk down to the beach was lovely.
Wood fired pizzas were also served across the road which was nice to come back to in the evening, very nice. Would go back again.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Wonderful campsite with spotlessly clean toilets. We spent three nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Directions to the site were first-class, It's a short walk to the beach and we enjoyed coastal walks from the site to Low Newton by the Sea and to Craster (super kippers) via Dunstanburgh Castle. The pizzas from across the road are excellent and it was lovely having a glass of wine while they cooked. We didn't use the wifi.
Disliked Nothing, it was a super site.

Pitchup.com was beneficial to the landowner and us happy to use again
Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Very handy. Needed to stop and eat after travelling along way. Next door caravan and camping site was full and very expensive for a self contained campervan. Stopping for 1 night.
We love the spirit of adventure but increasingly. More and more signs requesting campers dont stay overnight.
In New Zealand as long as you had your own facilities and porta loo. This information was advertised with a specific sticker. Parking was not restricted.
At The Afterlands feild.
Porta loos where an added bonus.
Disliked It rained heavily over night.
I would have been very concerned if the field turned into a slippy mess
