  • Small, dog-friendly and family-run farm site five miles from the beach
  • A 15-minute drive from Craster, Seahouses and Alnwick Castle
  • Large field for kids and dogs to play; pubs and restaurants nearby
Nearby Northumberland sand, stargazing and plenty of scope for coastal or country walks… what a set of attractions Doxford Farm Camping has. As a small, family-run site five miles from the nearest sandy beach, there’s a lot to like about this place – especially for those who want to stay somewhere that welcomes dogs, children and couples with open arms too. It’s all well-maintained here, and some might say quite on the luxurious side, given that the communal facilities include three large shower rooms each with a large power shower, basin, loo, mirror and hair dryer. So, feel free to dress up for any visits to the local pubs and restaurants within five to 15 minutes’ drive of the site – they sell delicious food locally sourced from the land and sea. What sort of places can you set sail to, then? Low Newton-by-the Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Embleton Bay (15 minutes) are some of the closest sandy stretches. Further out, between 15 minutes and 20 minutes’ drive, are more dog-friendly beaches and coastal havens like Bamburgh, Seahouses, Craster and Beadnell Bay (and Alnwick is 15 minutes’ drive inland for attractions like a castle and a huge second-hand book shop with model trains). Back at your base, which is located on a family-run working farm, there’s heaps of space and peace for walks, stargazing or stopping to smell the large bank filled with daffodils and tulips in the spring or wildflowers and other plants in the summer. There’s a large field for kids, dogs (and any big kids) to let off steam, as well as a pot wash area with a large double sink and hot and cold water to deal with any barbecue leftovers.

What customers say

Great little campsite, spot-on level sites. Top-notch, clean facilities, loved the private shower/loo rooms. Handy to the A1, great base for Northumberland coast & sights. Sink's a bit small, farm noise now & then. Perfect for a chill break.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Loved this little site. Must book on line and you just arrive and pick a free pitch no booking in. Site owner comes around and says hello . Super quiet at night all guests suspect respectful. Plenty of space for kids to run around in a big recreation field provided. Lots of dog walking around the area. It is quite remote so no amenities near by you have to drive to shops and beach etc. Seahouses and Alnwick lovely places to visit but I would say only for a few hours max unless you visit Alnwick castle . Showers very hot and washing up very basic but all worked ok.

Disliked Showers were a little tricky to operate and one of them didn’t work so had to change shower rooms.

Will definitely come again.

2 bedroom camping pod (four person)

Liked Very Comfy bed, sheets and towels all lovely quality , great shower , kitchen had everything you needed .
Lounge area was homely and felt personal .

Disliked Didn’t like how the Pod was very dark , especially the bunk bed rooms at the back , found them to be really creepy and don’t think the grandchildren would have wanted to sleep in them if they were with us .

The pod could be much better if it was brightened up with some white painted areas . For this reason only I would not book them again .

John S.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked small well run, very neat site. 3 unisex washrooms worked very well and very clean, plenty of room with large shower base, chair and hangers.
Even though there were only 7 pitches (2 non electric) pitch sizes were substantial

Disliked Very minor observation dish washing area would benefit from a proper draining board.

Local attractions

Here primarily for the sea? With sand dunes, castle ruins in the background and a view of Lindisfarne Island, Bamburgh beach (20 minutes’ drive) is a pretty good place to start. Dine on the classic Craster (15 minutes) kippers before taking a fishing trip from the harbour or head for Seahouses (15 minutes) if you fancy spending some time puffin and seal spotting on boat trips to the Farne Islands. Holy Island (35 minutes) is another island destination, accessible by car depending upon the tide, with a huge castle and priory. Compare notes with the castle in Alnwick (15 minutes), which runs re-enactments, jesting and other historical workshops. Leave enough time for an earl grey tea at Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum (15 minutes) too – after all, the earl it’s named after once lived there. Local wedding venues include Doxford Barns (15 minutes’ walk), Charlton Hall (20 minutes), Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa (five minutes’ drive) and Newton Hall (10 minutes).
