Campsite
New field for 2025

  • Wild-style camping on a peaceful working farm opposite Lindisfarne
  • A 10-minute drive from Bamburgh and 15 minutes from Seahouses
  • Well located for Ross beach; good stopover from the A1 two miles away
Elwick Campsite is set in a peaceful location on the spectacular Northumberland coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty in the rural north east of England. This site is excellently located for trips to the holy island of Lindisfarne (a national nature reserve), visiting the castles that line the coast up to the Scottish border or exploring the many secluded beaches in the local area. These pitches have uninterrupted views over open countryside and over to Lindisfarne. This laidback spot has a no-frills approach but does have some well-maintained basic facilities, with running water, portable toilets and a chemical waste disposal tank made available to guests. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Elwick Campsite (limited to two per pitch), but as there is livestock and wildlife all around, it is essential that they are kept on a lead at all times. The farm is in an easily accessible location, about two miles from the A1 and the nearest village of Belford (for a couple of pubs, a café, a small supermarket or a fish and chip shop). The nearest beach is in Ross, roughly five minutes away by car, followed by a lovely mile-long walk along a footpath.

What customers say

'n Rustige, goed georganiseerde kampplek met ruim, gelyk grond en pragtige plattelandse uitsigte. Besoekers prys die onberispelike portaloos en vriendelike, hulpvaardige eienaars. Alhoewel basiese geriewe erken word, word die netheid en algemene instandhouding hoog aangeslaan. Die ligging is ideaal vir die verkenning van die Northumberlandkus, met baie wat 'n terugkeer besoek aanbeveel.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked We arrived on a sunny afternoon and were blown away by the views of Lindisfarne and the huge camping pitches. The portaloos are immaculate and cleaned daily. The site is impeccable, no litter anywhere and excellent recycling facilities, water and chemical loo disposal. Booking was easy and the owner was very friendly. We loved our stay and will return. No showers but for one or two nights this was not a problem.
