  • 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.

What customers say

This simple, well-kept pop-up campsite boasts stunning views of Bamburgh Castle and the coast. Guests love the prime location, friendly owners, and spotless portaloos. It's spacious and peaceful, though some found it hilly with few level spots. Basic facilities, no drinking water. Great value; many plan to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Second visit & brought my two teenagers this time . despite the weather not being brilliant still enjoyed and would visit again. Good chippy in Belford which was ideal as was a tad too windy to comfortably cook outside .

Disliked Portaloos a never ideal but we're well stocked and reasonably clean

Iona R.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely views down to the coast, great location. Owners were friendly and helpful.

Disliked No drinking water! This is mentioned right at the bottom of the listing and I've never stayed in a paid-for campsite without drinking water so I wasn't prepared for this. Everyone camping around us was also surprised by this.
The lovely views are provided by the fact that it's a hill, which means pitches aren't flat and it can get windy so not the best for tents.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Pretty and peaceful site with uninterrupted rural and coastal views. As a solo female camper, I felt safe and I slept like a log. Loved pitching up next to a field of cows! I’ll definitely be back.
