  • Simple grass pitches at a Northumberland farm with coast views
  • A 10-minute drive to Bamburgh; 15 mins to Northumberland National Park
  • Peaceful dog-friendly rural location with easy access from the A1
Coastal sunrises, cattle for neighbours and castles to visit… you’ll get a real sense of the Northumberland countryside when you stay at North Bellshill Farm Campsite. Tucked away in a peaceful rural spot and yet only a couple of minutes’ drive from the A1, this place makes a great base for either a quick stopover or full weekend spent exploring the Northumberland countryside and coast. Pitches are part of a working farm with a quiet rural atmosphere and lovely uninterrupted views over to the coast – a splendid mix for a bit of chilled-out downtime. How you fill your time while you’re here is up to you – Bamburgh is about 10 minutes’ drive away for beach days, games of golf and castle tours, and there are plenty more lovely beaches and spectacular castles just a little further along the coast. Inland, you could spend the day exploring popular Alnwick Castle, or seek solitude in the Northumberland National Park – as the UK’s least-visited national park, it’s a fabulous place for a quiet hike away from the crowds, or a spot of stargazing (its remote location makes it the largest Dark Sky Park in the country). That said, you may simply choose to chill out on site, perhaps lighting up your barbecue or building a campfire for a relaxed outdoor evening. Pitches here are nicely spacious and dog-friendly, and you can bring extras like gazebos and awnings to make your space more comfortable (just add them as extras so you’ll have space). Simple facilities include toilets and a washing-up area but please note there are no showers or drinking water taps.

This pop-up site boasts an accessible location off the A1, with stunning coastal and castle views. Visitors praise the friendly staff, easy check-in, and neat, mowed pitches perfect for tents. The site's peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and value are highlighted. While an extra toilet would be appreciated, facilities are clean. Dog-friendly and allowing fire pits, it's a top pick for a relaxing getaway.

Chris C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Views. Caring owners. Spacious site. Great location. Close to interesting places to visit. I think this site has the potential to be really excellent site once the owners have got into their stride. Good site for family stopping just one night, or perhaps with their own shower facilities.

Disliked Not a site for anyone looking for peace, as while I was there it was busy with young families. Lots of car door slamming and excited children. Smelly toilets and no showers.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Basic site which is reflected in the pricing . Site is comprised of two areas one being a grassy field type and the other more rugged pitches on a hill which I went for & enjoyed amazing views of the coast & night skies. Pitches aren't particularly flat but manageable . Two portaloos , some bins and a tap . Really enjoyed my stay.

Disliked Portaloos are never ideal but they are what they are , they were well stocked, reasonably clean & I was mentally prepared for them haha

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very good

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Lovely views, you can see the coast, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island from the site. Plenty of space, great that you can have campfires, friendly owner. Good location and convenient for local tourism.

Disliked Slight hum from the A1 but distant enough to not be a concern for us. Bit slopey in places but some level spots.
