Spacious fields with stunning views, great for wild camping. Friendly, helpful owners, especially Richard. Clean portaloos & water. Close to a pub. Minor smoke/tap comments, but mostly keen to return!

Liked Loads of space to choose from to pitch. Everyone had their own space and not crowded. The owners, were amazing, nothing was too much. They helped us pitch our tent as it was extremely windy! 10/10 experience.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a one night stay a the beautifully located Wild Camping Northumberland. Several large fields next to a working farm, with far fetching views across the valley. The host/ owner greeted us with a smile and enthusiasm and checked in on us again in the evening. Although the fields were busy, it didn't feel crowded and we had plenty of room and the views were just amazing and the stars once the clouds past were beautiful. Very relaxed on check out times, no rush meant a relaxed breakfast, time for the tent to dry off and some extra time enjoying those views 😍

Liked Just what we needed, big field with tap, toilet and fire pits! The pub up the road is really close and a great local doing solid Pizzas on Friday and Saturday night.
The Campsite owner, Richard, was really friendly and helped us out with anything we needed.

Wild camping with beautiful scenery and peace and quiet.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Friendly welcome, thank you. Site as described with plenty of space for visitors to spread out and not feel too close to neighbouring campers. Toilets really clean and numerous enough for a busy weekend. Fresh water available. Beautiful views and levelish pitches with careful parking.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Owner was really friendly and helpful. He pointed us to a flat area of the field and advised re local walks. He worked tirelessly during our stay ensuring the portaloos were kept clean and well stocked with paper. The two fields are huge so everyone was well spaced out.The views are amazing and far reaching. It was lovely to see kids being kids, running around in bear feet on wet grass, playing together. Short walk to a great pub, the Festhers Inn.
Disliked People burning all sorts on fire pits which made it quite smoky at times

Large, open fields, fab view, clean porta loos, very friendly staff
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Very clear communication with the host. Lovely friendly welcome when we arrived. Large field so plenty of space between groups of people. Could hire fire pits and buy wood. Plenty of portaloos dotted around the field. Quite a sloping field but enough flattish spots and the views over the valley were well worth it. Quiet and peaceful spot 👍🏼 excellent phone signal 5G Doggy friendly 🐾

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Great location, fabulous views, handy for the Feathers pub with excellent pizza in the garden. Huge amount of space. It’s a basic site, portaloos and a tap, so bring what you need with you.
Owners were most welcoming.
