What customers say
This site offers spacious, level pitches and a friendly vibe. The on-site pub gets rave reviews for its amazing food and cozy atmosphere. Staff are praised as helpful, and the location is great for exploring the Northumberland coast. While the pub's a highlight, some found the washrooms a bit dated/unclean. Train and late-night noise can be an issue.

Liked The pub and food available on site.
Disliked We’d booked a grass pitch with electric as we have dogs who like to sit out on the grass.
When we arrived the site was very busy. Unfortunately we didn’t get there until around 6pm as we’d travelled from the north of Scotland and the site was just a stopover on our way home. The owner didn’t seem to have any reference to our booking and just put us on what we assume was the only available remaining pitch (Hardstanding with no grass for us to sit out)The vans were crammed in like sardines and we were sited right next to the train line(East coast mainline).
We had food and drinks at the pub which was nice. Then headed back to the van hoping for an early night. Unfortunately this wasn’t to be as the trains were hurtling by every 10 minutes until after 10:30.
We woke early in the morning as we’d decided to head off early.
I nipped to the wash facilities (which were disgustingly. Looked like the showers hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The toilets had no locks on doors and they were also terrible.
Thankfully we only had one night here

Anonymous Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Host and food were excellent we hsd a great stay.
Disliked Water in handwash basins was slow and some toilets needed cleaned more regularily. But that is not necessarily hosts fault.

Great site for base.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Tidy site, clean toilet facilities, showers kept clean, helpful landlord, good all round.
Disliked Elson point hose split, children playing noisily, screaming until past 10pm, we don't blame the site owners for this.
Entrance/exit can prove a challenge as unable to see very far in either direction.

Do not stay on this site. Wouldn’t recommend.
Anonymous Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Not a lot to like here.
Disliked Shower block is grubby, mouldy, no toilet rolls, cold water in showers, the whole block is in need of a complete revamp. Rusty pipe work and the shower curtains dirty were held up by 3 hooks. Not a nice experience.
The site is next to the main east coast railway line with trains running regularly and also a busy road.
The pitches are packed together. We were in a tent with electric hook up, £90 for 2 nights is excessive. The Saturday night we were there our neighbours in campervans were noisy till 1am.
The owner/manager was rude and unapproachable. Not a nice person at all.

Anonymous Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The quietness and pitch sizes for camping.
Disliked Staff were moody, especially the bar staff. We felt judged as a family as the kids were playing and enjoying themselves and yet the staff were rude to them.
Lots of rules regarding bbq’s, fires, gazebos, we felt like we couldn’t really do much without being in trouble which is a shame. Personally felt like the owners need to relax and allow people to camp properly instead of feeling like we’re being watched and not allowed to have fun.

Re-visit anytime.
