Great location and facilities
Camping pod
Liked I had a camping pod, which was great. Electric plug and small fridge
Site had laundry and washing facilities
Lovely hot shower.
I went in the bathroom at 7.30 and it had already been cleaned.
Site was a holiday park but the club house was 500m away which was great.
Good selection of food on the menu
Near supermarket and some nice pubs
Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area
I used this as a base to visit North Northumberland area
There were good facilities for children and dogs
Would definitely recommend

Great site, safe for solo female camping.
Camping pod
Liked Great location for a base to explore North Northumberland. Safe, friendly site, reception staff really helpful. Beautiful area with the river running through the site. Camping pod was clean and even has a small fridge for keeping your drinks and snacks cool. Loved the resident ducks and rabbits. Would definitely return.
Disliked Camping pod is very close to the edge of the site and main entrance. Noise from the main road in the morning is quite loud.

From the manager: Hi there, thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the setting, found the site welcoming, and appreciated the little details in the camping pod—especially the fridge and our feathered and furry neighbours. We’re sorry the morning road noise disrupted the peace a little, and we’ll certainly take that into account for future improvements. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
