What customers say
A peaceful, well-organized campground with spacious, level sites and beautiful rural views. Guests rave about the spotless portaloos and friendly, helpful owners. While facilities are basic, cleanliness and upkeep are excellent. Ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast; many plan to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Wonderful site with a view of Holy Island. Very clean, very spacious.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We loved the wide open space with fantastic views, level and spacious pitch, very clean portaloos and cleanliness of the site. No showers but this was made clear before booking so wasn’t a surprise. Loads of space for kids to play. It’s dog friendly with plenty of space for exercising them too. A wonderful, basic site. We hope to return.
Disliked Disliked nothing, it was great.

Wild camping in a stunning location
Primitive grass and earth RV campsite
Liked Quiet, peaceful location with stunning views over farmland and Holy Island. Great base for exploring up and down the Northumberland coast. Huge spacious pitches. Easy access from A1 also the quiet coastal roads towards Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell Bay. Lots of wildlife to observe, especially the hares. Susan and her family are very helpful hosts keen to ensure your stay is enjoyable. A huge thank you for jumping off our motor home with your tractor when the battery had decided to die on us. Nothing was too much trouble.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, this site is exactly what it says on the tin.

A great base for holy island and exploring the area.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great location, amazing scenery. We walked along a public footpath we found into belford(3.5miles), Bamborough (a bit further) along the main road another day. Caught a bus back to the main road about mile and half from campsite.
The campsite owners were great, we had a storm and the owner made sure we were positioned in a safe place. She checked in several times, made the toilets safe during the storm etc. The camping field was immaculate. The layout was easy to follow and the toilets were the cleanest. Amazing views of Holy island, we even saw a deer, several hares and rabbits and game birds whilst we were there.

Liked Elwick Campsite was wonderful. When we stayed it was full but it didn’t feel it as the pitches are so lovely and spacious. The porter loos were immaculately kept.
There was a storm due and Susan came round the afternoon before to advise us on moving to a more sheltered spot which was so kind.
I couldn’t recommend enough and we all definitely be staying again.
Disliked No dislikes.

Excellent no frills site with very large pitches, peaceful and clean.
Primitive grass and earth RV campsite
Liked Simple, beautiful and no frills site in a stunning location, so peaceful and the biggest pitches I have camped on.
Porta-loos were also very clean.
Susan also very helpful on the phone and messaged before arrival which was a nice touch.
Disliked Due to its location got very windy during the night had to take canopy down (not the camp sites fault) just a heads up.
No access to the beach from campsite, had to walk about 30 mins to Ross Sands (worth the walk though)
