What customers say
Spacious, level pitches with great countryside views. Clean portaloos, friendly owner Susan. Basic but well-kept facilities. Peaceful, near Holy Island & Bamburgh Castle. No showers noted, but still highly rated.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely large and level pitches, views of Lindisfarne, peace and quiet.
Cleanest portaloos I have ever used.
Disliked A bit hard to find. Maybe a 'What three words' in the welcome email?
In an almost empty site, we had been allocated a pitch right next to someone else! We moved.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked My first solo camp, the campsite is clean, welcoming and well organised, there are porta potties at least 5 regularly cleaned and maintained. There is waste disposal for Water, toilet waste, glass bottles, general waste and recycled. There are taps around the site for water very useful. Each pitch is clearly labelled with a number, a path to drive on is clearly cut down. Its a quiet, peaceful campsite with great views and very helpful owner who answered all my questions overall definitely recommended and will be visiting again. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This campsite was exactly as described and had the facilities I needed for my 3 night stay. The view was gorgeous, and I loved how peaceful it was. Each pitch had loads of room, so it felt really spacious. Susan had some great recommendations for local places to explore, and everything was so close and easy to get to. I hope to be back next year!
