What customers say

A tidy, roomy site with a chilled vibe. Top-notch facilities, especially showers & loos, plus a great bar & grub. Ideal base for the Northumberland coast, near beaches & sights. Family-friendly with a play area. Minor grumbles: basic facilities, neighbourly noise, service access.

Melanie D.

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch

Liked Loved the location, the cleanliness and amount of space. Self check-in was easy and facilities were clean

Disliked Showers and toilets were open to the elements- I quite like this but it would not suit everyone. I’m an early riser and it took a while for the water in the showers to heat up

Jade C.

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch

Liked Clean facilities
Quiet surroundings
On site food and drink options in the evening which was great to see. Worked well if you didn't fancy cooking that night.
Never seeing the people that worked on site, they were invisible and did a great job keeping the site clean and tidy - amazing!
Location was great, a mile from the beach.
Really great for families and couples alike.

Disliked Nothing to say. It was all very good.

Amy P.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked Lovely clean site, well laid out, easy to navigate to and quite a good location. Nice bar & food hut on site although we didn’t use it as had brought our own. Looked ace though with the lights and fire pit. Nice play area for little ones, but our son was too old so didn’t use it.

Disliked Toilets and showers are a bit open and when the site was full they are quick to run out of toilet roll and not well lit in them at night (shower wise - I used the adult only ones early in the morning which were much nicer and a little more private).
Shame that some kids wrecked the giant check chair on the Sunday - unnecessary & unfair on others, including on the site’s owners as they’ll have to replace that now.
Tip for others - the closest pub in Boulmer (fishing boat inn) is closed from 5pm on Sundays and all day on Mondays. We didn’t realise until we had walked down to it at 6pm on Sunday.

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.
