  • 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

Awesome coastal and castle views just off the A1. Staff are super friendly & helpful, check-in's a breeze. Well-kept pitches, perfect for tents. Peaceful, clean and good value. A few more loos would be nice, but they're clean. Dog-friendly, fire pits allowed. Great for a chill break!

Susan F.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Quiet field down a country lane. Bamburgh Castle visible in the distance. Good value at £15 per night. Petrol station nearby where you could get supplies (wine, beer, bread etc).

Disliked Extra charge for second dog. Don’t understand why. Portaloo toilet ok for one night. One of them was out of action (not pleasant). Not many level pitches. Water supplied onsite is not suitable for drinking, so be prepared with bottled water if you want to make a drink.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very pleasant place to stay, basic facilities but the portaloos are very clean and well stocked with toilet paper, hand towels and soap.

Disliked Had to try a few locations in the field to find a level pitch for our small camper.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Easy check in, nicely kept area, friendly staff. They text everyone to say we could check out later than planned due to rain which was very nice. Also a great price for the local area

Disliked Only one portaloo but it wasn't a problem, and was clean and tidy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hopefully managed to pack away a dry tent :)
