Dog-friendly site on the Northumberland coast, one mile from the beach
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; near the St Oswald’s Way
On-site bar with covered seating area; playground on site

An off-grid, no-frills, quiet and family-friendly campsite, Coast and Castles Campsite is one mile from the Northumberland coast. About 10 minutes' drive from Alnwick and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this dog-friendly site is well-situated for hunting down coves and castles on the coast with the St Oswald’s Way footpath five minutes’ drive away. And what to do first? Will it be munching on kippers in Craster (10 minutes' drive away) or swimming in the sea followed by a warming cuppa on the nearest sandy beach, five minutes’ drive away? Either way, you’ll be in a good place to build up a solid itinerary on the Northumberland coast and then return to the site for a chilled drink at the covered seating area in the on-site bar. With a play area on site too, kids will have their own places to run off any extra energy before the end of the day. And if all that gets you breaking a sweat, there’s a handy amenities block to freshen up. Now for a bite to eat… while you’re out and about, there’s a restaurant beside the bay in Boulmer, five minutes’ drive away, and a couple of cafés in Longhouton, five minutes’ drive away in the opposite direction. There’s a food shop here too, handy for picking up bits and bobs for a chilled-out barbecue back on site.

Powered grass and gravel campervan site

Liked: It was a simple overnight stop for me. I was heading to Scotlanf but had planned to visit Lindesfarn on the way.
This spot was ideal for that.

Abigail T. June 2025

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (family)

Liked: All facilities were lovely and clean. The pitches were well maintained and looked after. The bar and food hut were great and allowed a lovely atmosphere, the burger and fries we had were delicious!

Disliked: Not to the fault of the campsite but our time felt a little less enjoyable just due to inconsiderate neighbours who did not leash their dogs and they sometimes ran riot close to our camp when we were using a BBQ and they also had a large groups of kids with them who kept kicking their ball into our tent and even once hit our car. The parents didn’t seem too fussed about it.

Liked: Easy to access and well thought out layout.

Disliked: Shower water was tepid which was more challenging as there was a cold wind through the wooden slats of the open air showers.

Rebekah S. June 2025

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (family)

Liked: Self check in was good. Was so cool to go in, find a plot and be left to it. So relaxed.
Brilliant they let you hire firepits £5 was reasonable for the night. The gin tin was amazing, literally had everything, alongside local alcohol. The man at the gin tin was also lovely, he was very friendly, knowledgeable about the are and had great suggestions too. Great shower and toilet block too. Honestly the best campsite, will come back!

Disliked: The only critisism would be the tiny gaps on the closed doors at toilet cubicles, but hardly a negative.

Local attractions

Set your compass towards the sea… whether it’s walking and cycling around Seaton Point (10 minutes’ drive), watersports down at Alnmouth beach (10 minutes) or dipping in and out of the sand dunes at Warkworth beach (15 minutes), there are plenty of coastal landscapes to choose from around here. As for the beach towns, Craster (15 minutes) is all about the kippers and art galleries. If you plan ahead, you could book a fishing trip from the harbour – or make a day of it and check out the National Trust’s Dunstanburgh Castle (15 minutes) nearby to see what life used to be like in the 14th-century fortress. Another commanding castle resides in Alnwick (10 minutes), but this town is also a sure bet for browsing bookshelves in the bookshops, ambling around gardens or rolling onto the steam railway. Those of you who fancy another beach day might want to go to its sandy shore or continue the coastal party in Amble (20 minutes), where beach huts, fish shacks, canoeing, kayaking and boating make for a classic day out.
