Liked Peaceful, well maintained, Chrissie, the warden, is great. Has everything you need, pot wash, showers and toilets (yes, there aren't many and I suppose it can get busy when the site is full🤷🏼‍♀️ but there are portaloos as an option if you need them. I don't have onboard facilities but I do have a kampa khazi if I'm desperate). Large pitches with hard standing and grass. I had electric but I ended up not using it for my one night as all my electronics were fully charged (my phone) and I have a power bank for emergencies. Lovely dark skies for stargazing and this far North has regular visits from the Northern Lights. Plenty of birds, I heard the hen pheasant coming in to land before I saw her 😁. And owls hooting from early evening. Robins, geese, rooks and jackdaws. There is the road close by (that you have to drive on to reach the site) but it's not a motorway, the traffic noise isn't intrusive and it's small country road between Widdrington Station and Ulgham. Ulgham is a pretty little village with a church, and Widdrington Station gas a Co-op and a chippy. Menus for Pegswood Tandoori at notice board. I'm looking forward to coming back regularly as I live fairly local and sometimes I just need the peace and quiet.

Disliked Not a dislike but there were 20mph winds when I visited and they tend to funnel down the site, so chunky pegs and guy ropes a must if you're setting up a windbreak, awning or tent in windy weather. Wind did drop in the early evening and my van took the brunt of the wind.
