Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved the wide open space with fantastic views, level and spacious pitch, very clean portaloos and cleanliness of the site. No showers but this was made clear before booking so wasn’t a surprise. Loads of space for kids to play. It’s dog friendly with plenty of space for exercising them too. A wonderful, basic site. We hope to return.
Disliked Disliked nothing, it was great.

Wild camping in a stunning location
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Quiet, peaceful location with stunning views over farmland and Holy Island. Great base for exploring up and down the Northumberland coast. Huge spacious pitches. Easy access from A1 also the quiet coastal roads towards Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell Bay. Lots of wildlife to observe, especially the hares. Susan and her family are very helpful hosts keen to ensure your stay is enjoyable. A huge thank you for jumping off our motor home with your tractor when the battery had decided to die on us. Nothing was too much trouble.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, this site is exactly what it says on the tin.

A great base for holy island and exploring the area.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great location, amazing scenery. We walked along a public footpath we found into belford(3.5miles), Bamborough (a bit further) along the main road another day. Caught a bus back to the main road about mile and half from campsite.
The campsite owners were great, we had a storm and the owner made sure we were positioned in a safe place. She checked in several times, made the toilets safe during the storm etc. The camping field was immaculate. The layout was easy to follow and the toilets were the cleanest. Amazing views of Holy island, we even saw a deer, several hares and rabbits and game birds whilst we were there.
