  • Small family-run Northumberland site just outside Ulgham
  • Morpeth, Cresswell beach and Northumberland Zoo 10 minutes' drive
  • Dogs and kids welcome; peaceful atmosphere with quiet hours from 10pm
Northumberland is the UK's least densely populated county, so it’s a fine choice of destination for those seeking some peace, quiet and space to roam without crowds. And Kirk Field Banks, just outside the village of Ulgham, is an equally fine choice as a place to stay – this site is small, family-run and known for its peaceful atmosphere. There’s a good amount of space here, in fact, but guest numbers are always kept on the low side so that everyone has space to relax without feeling cramped. And that also means you’ll have scope to set up your gazebo, an awning, some camping chairs, a barbecue… essentially pretty much whatever you need to make yourselves feel comfortable. With trees all around for shade and shelter, there’s a nicely natural feeling here – and the owners have implemented a few rules to help preserve the peace for all guests.There’s nothing too rigorous, but large groups (especially hen/stag parties) won’t be accepted, and there’s a strict 10pm quiet time policy to allow everyone some well-earned rest. Kids and dogs are welcome here, with plenty of space to have a bit of a run about and designated dog walks running from the site. Simple facilities on site include showers, toilets and picnic tables along with chemical disposal for the tourers. Ulgham village is a tiny place so it doesn’t have a pub or shop, but it’s easy enough to drive or get a bus to Morpeth (10 minutes’ drive) when you need to sort supplies.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches and friendly, helpful owners. Guests consistently praise the quiet atmosphere, beautiful natural surroundings, and convenient location for exploring the coast and countryside. Facilities, while basic, are generally reported as clean. Some reviews mention the limited number of toilet and shower facilities, particularly during busy periods. Mobile signal can be weak, which some find a drawback, while others appreciate the digital detox.

Local attractions

Fancy a stroll? Head out from the site for a wander along the banks of the River Lyne, or head to one of the nearby country parks – Druridge Bay Country Park (10 minutes’ drive) is a popular choice. And of course there are heaps of walks and bike rides to try out in the Northumberland National Park (half an hour). For a change of pace, golf and fishing are both within 10 minutes as well. Throw in a dash of heritage by taking your strolls around National Trust properties at Wallington Hall or Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens (both 35 minutes) or planning a trail taking in Hadrian’s Wall (40 minutes). Alnwick Castle (25 minutes) is another great choice, whether you’re there for the history or the Harry Potter connection. Family days out around here might take you to meet animals at Northumberland Zoo (10 minutes) and Whitehouse Farm Centre (25 minutes) or for a splash in the sea from Cresswell beach (10 minutes).
