We stayed here for two nights in early April.
Although we booked a grassy pitch in the hope of more choice in position we were put in the roadside field on a hard standing away from all the other Motorhomes and Caravans. We have two children and it left us feeling rather isolated from everyone else, perhaps the empty spaces in the other field were saved members of the Caravan and Camping Club.
The road is very noisy and the traffic very fast.
The toilet block was clean but very big and thus cold. The shower cubicles do not have enough slope so it's almost impossible not to get bottom of trousers wet whilst trying to dress.
The shop/ reception was very rarely open or manned when you wish to pay for Wifi or ask a question this is annoying.
We could of asked for another pitch but reception was never manned when I went to ask to move.
Plus points are the Bay to, the south is beautiful and the bus stops right outside the campsite. Think review would be more positive if we weren't isolated from rest of site.

Stayed just for one night, a Saturday night. Only used the toilets and sink area, not the showers or dishwashing area, nor the reception or shop (was there one?).
The site consists of three large fields, two of which are alongside the main road and the other set back. The rear field had hard standings. We camped on the roadside pitches in the field to your left as you enter the site.
Welcome was warm and information provided was sufficient. Could choose our own pitch.
Fields are quite level and were not boggy although I think the east coast had been mostly dry during the last couple of weeks. Ground firm but standard pegs went in easily enough.
Positives:
Site is ideally located next to a large beach. Quite rocky and seaweed-ish but some shallow areas of water too. Dogs loved it.
Beadnell and seahouses very close by for shops etc. Avoid the chippy just up the road if you like good chips. Ours were soapy and had the texture of polystyrene.
Toilets and shower block is kept clean, even if it has a dated feel.
Negatives:
Road is noisy. If you're in a tent passing cars will keep you awake with their noise and full headlight beams. Avoid this by pitching in the rear field.
Quite a few locals walked along the roadside during the night in quite a drunken state. Site didn't feel particularly private. Again would pitch in the rear field to feel more secure.
Site is quite exposed and windy so bring a good windbreak and good pegs. Ours held up well despite a stiff breeze throughout most of stay.
Summary:
Would use again because the beachside setting is fabulous and dark skies possible for romantics nights under the stars. However would only pitch in the rear field. It's more sheltered and away from the noisy road and the feeling of being too close to passers by. You can't see the sea from the roadside pitches anyway.

Just returned from 4 glorious days at this camp site. Pitch was great although busy there is lots of space and certainly no over crowding. The location is superb hop skip and a jump and your on the beach. Although the road is close we didn't find the traffic disturbed us.
The shop stocks the basics milk eggs etc.
Toilet and showers were clean and although the site was busy we didn't have to queue. They were refurbished this year I believe.
The wash up area is a bit cramped and we did have to queue.
The only real downside to this camp site is they close completely the toilet and washing facilities from 10. 45 to 12noon.
This was more than a little frustrating especially when on our departure day we had packed our tent away and would have liked to have cleaned our hands and even had a shower or as a minimum got changed we were unable to do so and ended up going into the village to the beach toilets. Departure is before 12noon.
I also find it puzzling when camp sites don't recycle. We are all encourage to do so at home and in the main we do so it felt odd just putting all our waste into one bag for disposal.
The area is so beautiful and we were lucky with stunning weather, the best so far this year.
We took the opportunity to do Alnwick Castle and Gardens which although expensive for a family of 4 we thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definitely return to the gardens. If you have young children take swimming gear and towels for the gardens they have amazing water features. Whilst ours are now teenagers they still enjoyed the day.
Best ice creams can be found in Bamburgh. Although we didn't do the Castle as we would have had to buy 3 adult tickets as the family ticket is for children under 16 at a total family cost of over £32. Which was a shame as it is rather impressive looking at it from the road.
So overall a great camp site and I would have given it a 10 for everything had they not closed the toilets completely and recycled at least bottles, plastics and cans.

Just returned from a blissful 4 days at Beadnell Bay. Wardens were friendly and informal. Situation is perfect, the beach reached through a lovely walk through dunes a riot of wild flowers.
Camp fires are of course not permitted on the site, but I strongly recommend collecting wood and enjoying a beach barbecue with camp fire.
Only downside is the road, which is busier than you'd expect. Didn't wake me though. The wretched birds did, but that's hardly anyone's fault!
Facilities were modern and excellent (think may be new this year?) and cleaned daily.

Just back from a weekend stay here and had a great time. Weather was mixed with sun one minute and showers the next but apart from being slightly exposed as other reviews have stated, the site is well kept and the owners/wardens are very friendly and helpful.
Facilities are kept very clean and apart from the shower turning off every 20 secs they are warm and the cubicles are adequate.
Our pitch was on the front field facing the sea and the warden had to hook us up over the wall to the field at the rear due to not having a hook-up facility on our side of the wall. Not a major problem by the way, just make sure you have a long hook-up cable.
The village of Beadnell is within sight and as mentioned previously, the Craster Arms in the village is only 5-10 mins walk and serves great food.
This is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area and we will definitely return. Oh and there's a good fish and chip shop at the edge of the village with a shop next to it for supplies. Recommend the fish supper!

Just come back from a 2 day stay at this site. The site was very quiet when we went as it was mid week, just before the jubilee weekend. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The showers/toilets/washing up sinks were kept very clean whenever we used them. As others have said it is right across the road from the beach. The beach is clean with no rubbish kicking about, however not sure if it is the type of beach you would sit on as there is a lot of seaweed and its very rocky in places. However if you have a dog it is perfect as it was almost deserted, even on a warm day we walked for 2 miles and only passed 4 people. Would thoroughly recommend the site and location.
