KMF Camping

Mi è piaciuto A quiet and relaxed atmosphere with very welcoming hosts, spacious and well separated pitches, a great set-up of basic eco-focussed amenities, and resident alpacas... all made for a great short stay for me and my son (10).

A very well run site, in a good location, easy access to country walks and a very short walk to the charming Kirkharle Courtyard.

If you're looking for a fancy play area, posh shower blocks, and parking your car right next to your tent, this may not be for you. But for us it was a perfect low-key camping experience, with an emphasis on getting back to nature and being mindful of our impact, but still with everything we needed on hand, to make it a very comfortable stay.

Dal gestore: Thanks so much for your review Chris. It was lovely to meet you both and we look forward to seeing you again.

Mi è piaciuto Wonderful campsite! Loved the long grass between the pitches and the spacious pitches, hosts very welcoming from the start, alpacas provided lots of entertainment, really well thought out - especially small hut with games for kids ideal in the rain! Thank you!

Dal gestore: Thanks for your great review, we really appreciate it. Look forward to seeing you again in the future :)

Mi è piaciuto Paul and Gillian were very friendly and helpful, facilities were simple and rustic but clean, functional and pleasant. We enjoyed the alpacas and the little cabin with seats and toys and games, a useful place to hang out with our early rising son! Very nice surrounds with beautiful old church, Kirkharle courtyard with a wee playpark, lake walk and milkshake machine! Campsite was nicely laid out with really generous pitches and lots of space so it felt quite private!

Non mi è piaciuto The only complaint I have was there was a bit of noise from the road. Not a problem overnight but audible during most waking hours. Although our son did enjoy watching the tractors!

Dal gestore: Thanks for your review Sarah. We are glad you all enjoyed the site. Not much to be done about the road pros and cons for being so rural but handy to reach lots of locations quickly without much fuss.

Mi è piaciuto We loved the small size of this site. Only 6 tent pitches in the field ... there could have easily been 4 times this number but we were grateful that there weren't!
We also loved that its part of the The Greener Camping Club.
Gillian and Paul provided a personal service meeting us and showing us around the site and their communication was first class. What a lovely couple who have created a truly amazing camp site!

Dal gestore: Thanks so much Heather for your lovely review, it was nice to meet you both and glad you had a lovely time. Hope to see you again :)

Mi è piaciuto Lovely scenic location. It's really nice how the pitches are zoned and spaced out; that has been really well thought out. Kids liked the eco friendly element and learning about the compost toilets. There was a little shed with lots for the kids to do should weather be bad but we were lucky. We enjoyed the little woodland walk to Kirkhale and the children's playground there.

Mi è piaciuto Slightly conflicted about writing this review because to be honest we'd sooner keep KMF Camping to ourselves but Paul and Gillian deserve all the visitors possible. Originally only booked for 1 night but decided to stay for 2 which Gillian and Paul sorted for us no problem.

Travelled for 2 nights with me, my wife and little 3 year old daughter.

Firstly location, perfect. Lovely views, easy access from A696. Having the Kirkharle courtyard a 5 minute walk down the road was brilliant, some lovely little shops, cafe, 24/7 milkshake machine was really handy, little park for my daughter.

Facilities on site were brilliant. Toilet was spotless and the compost toilet was easy to use and clean. Showers were perfect, honestly not expecting hotel quality showers at a campsite (hot with good water pressure), little welcome room was a nice bonus to get out the sun for a hour. No WiFi but not a issue as we had full 4G coverage (both with 02) if needed which honestly it wasn't necessary as your away camping!

Wildlife was outstanding. The sheeps are hilarious. Barn owl majestic. Little frogs, house martins and other animals which my daughter loved. She got to feed the alpacas who are adorable.

Nicely laid out pitches which are spread around so didn't feel like we were living on top of other guests.

First time taking my daughter camping and honestly we're hooked, don't know why we'd choose anywhere else now. Already looking at booking back up for august.

Paul and Gillian have done an amazing job and there passion for creating a proper heaven away from the hustle and bustle of city life shows. Both lovely people who helped us out with a couple bits and bobs no questions asked.

Had a few really nice conversations with other guests and hosts. Just a really lovely atmosphere.

Was excited to go camping with my daughter for the first time but was obviously a little nervous due to her age but staying at KMF made it easy, fun and something we'll remember for a long time.

If your in my position of thinking of taking a child camping for the first time do it here. You won't regret it. Like I said already thinking of booking again for august.

Non mi è piaciuto Having to leave.

Dal gestore: What an awesome review Ben, it was lovely to meet you all and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Thanks for visiting and taking the time to do this lovely review.

Mi è piaciuto I took my girl (4y) and boy (13y) for a few nights here recently. The three of us camp a lot, but I have never found any sites that ticked the boxes for me. I love the idea of wild camping, but I don't think I'm quite ready to tackle that with a 4-year-old, and it's difficult to do legally in England.
The other sites we end up at I find are usually loud, with big groups blasting terrible music, seem to shout to communicate, hammer the cans and rock the B&M BBQ's...not for me!

KMF was exactly what I was looking for, and this is the only one both the kids have asked straight away to book it again...so I have a few weeks later.

Peaceful, picturesque, some lovely wildlife (my son loved tracking the white owl on the evening), and girl loved feeding the Alpacas, private spaced-out pitches with tall grass and hills separating the pitches and cars kept separate...you feel like you have the place to yourself, milk and eggs available, plenty for both the kids to do, the hosts were fantastic, they couldn't have helped any more and made it a personal experience, (asking if I needed picking up, helped carry my gear from my car to the pitch, interacted with both my kids and knew everyone's names on site.)

Non mi è piaciuto None

Dal gestore: Wow. Thanks for this fabulous review Mick, it’s everything we want people to feel! See you again later this month 😊🏕️

Mi è piaciuto This campsite is a hidden gem.. relaxing, beautiful surroundings, generous sized pitches in between the wild flower meadows. Facilities clean and eco friendly will definitely be returning to this site and would definitely recommend to fellow campers. The hosts are very helpful, meet and greet even helped us getting our items to our pitch.

Dal gestore: Thanks so much Kevin, lovely to meet you both. We look forward to seeing you again.

Mi è piaciuto Very spacious and quiet. Very helpful staff even letting children feed the animals. As my children do have extra needs they understood that they needed space and quiet. Wonderful calm place to stay even a little hut for children to have extra time a space to play or bug hunt. Told us where local attractions where a what was near by.
Facilities where clean an even tho compost toilet there was no smell at all it was lovely a clean.

Dal gestore: Thank you for your lovely review. It was nice to meet you all. See you again soon!

Mi è piaciuto Wonderful half term camping!

Gillian and Paul could not have done more, from allowing us to store our tent/equipment prior to pitching in their barn, to charging up my Jackery when it ran out and allowing our tent to remain pitched for a little while longer to dry out after a downpour during departure; they made our stay the best it could be.

Pitches are very spacious and loads of room between each pitch, with cut walk away through a meadow. My children roamed free and feral! They loved the alpacas and meeting Godzilla the tortoise 🐢 a trip of no worries, plenty of fresh air, trips to the running fox, play park and the milk shake vending machine!

Located a 5 minute walk from Kirkharle Courtyard, with quaint local shops, cafes and a play park. 10 minute drive to Wallington National Trust property and just off main road to access Morpeth’s and Alnwick.
Campsite is fully enclosed. Very safe for little ones.
We will definitely be back.
