 Stayed here for 2 nights and found the site to be immaculate. Perfect for touring the area on bikes. Found the owner Mr Davidson to be very helpful and informative, always a smile on his face and a great host. Would highly recommend this site.
Extremely clean toilets and wash areas, well signed facilities and immaculate grounds.
The local pub -The Cottage, served excellent foods portions quite large but tasty. The village of Craster is small but can but various types of fish and sea food including the famous kippers.

I love this site. Have stayed here a number of times and it is always consistently good.
You are taken to your spot by he owner himself which avoids folk setting up on top of each other.
I've camped here twice now with my 7 year old, and he loves it. I feel safe letting him roam around and explore. The toilets are immaculate and there's always plenty of hot water for washing up.
The area is stunning and you won't be disappointed if you make the effort to walk the mile or so to Dunstaburgh Castle. Craster is the nearest village which is lovely and unspoilt. The Jolly Fisherman has improved vastly over the last year, and does great food (it was a dump last year).
The nearest pub is the Cottage Inn which is only half a mile, or less and has a great outside adventure play area for kids. They also do great food and a selection of real ales alongside the usual tramp-juice.
There is fresh milk, eggs and orange juice available, operated with an honesty box system which is handy.
I'll be back here over and over. A hidden gem!

Well located within easy walking distance of the lovely village of Craster, this site is an excellent base for exploring the Northumberland coast. Nice walks from the site. Helpful staff. The pub in Craster is OK, but I'd highly recommend the Cottage Inn, a 5 minute walk from the site, with it's great food, WiFi and big screen.
Facilities:
The toilet and shower facilities are very well kept - they were always spotless and pitches were kept very tidy.
Prices:
£18 per night for motorhome with two people and electricity. Good value for facilities and location.

I was tasked with taking an 8 year old on his first camping trip, to prepare him for future camping trips with the cubs later on next year. This site was perfect for him as he was able to pitch and strike the small tent, he also found the local area great fun to explore. The washing up & showers were great and he still talks about returning again as he had a great time at the site. Thanks again to all

On a cycling tour so just stayed here for one evening. There's a mixture of caravans, motor homes and tents on site. Tents are pitched in separate fields on a nice flat pitch.
There weren't many tents when I was there so plenty of room. Great facilities. Very clean. 10p for decent shower.
Organised very well with plenty of recycling. Friendly owner and peaceful, well-run campsite.
Craster is a really nice village and you an walk to Dunstanburgh castle easily enough. Very beauitful part of the country.
Personally probably wouldn't have a week long holiday here though. More of a long weekend destination for me.

This is a lovely well kept site. The area is quiet and only a short walk into the village and down to the harbour at Craster - famous for its smoked kipper. Dunstanburgh Castle can reached by walking through Craster. We were there when it was the RNLI summer fete and my grandson loved it there was lots of action and demonstrations. The proprietor of the site is really helpful and friendly. The toilet and shower block was really clean and well looked after.

Arrived at 8 o'clock and owner very helpful-showed us our pitch and sold milk, juice etc too. Pub nearby very friendly and food excellent especially fish. Very dog friendly we took out collie and Labrador in and they even got a treat from the owner!Lovely walk to Dunstanburgh castle and into Craster from opposite the site.
Toilets clean and showers hot (cost 10p and lasted ages).
Busy site with lots of overseas visitors and families.
We would definitely recommend this site and will be returning soon.

We spent 4 nights here at the end of July/start of August and we hope to come back again as the location is excellent and the site peaceful and well laid out. There is only 1 toilet/shower block and where we were asked to pitch was quite far away. That didn't bother us as 2 adults but I'm not sure that would suit someone with children. I had to visit the block in the night and the ladies wasn't lit which was a bit daunting. The area where we pitched our tent was lovely & flat and the tents weren't too close together. It did look very packed in the caravan/motorhome area though but I'm not sure if that is usual as I have no experience. There is a little room with a fridge which everyone can use (although we didn't) and some leaflets about the area. Sadly these were all well out of date and it lacked information for people not familiar with the area.
We walked in to Craster (took about 20 minutes) which was pleasant and although there's not a lot to do in Craster it's a lovely little village with a nice pub, cafe and smokehouse. The pub wasn't doing food that night (Saturday) so we walked to the Cottage Inn. Glad we did as the food was excellent! We had read previous bad reviews about it but the new owners, who had taken over only 8 weeks earlier, have turned it around. I can't recommend the food and service enough.

Booked for just one night - site busy on entering mid afternoon - queue of caravans. Site manager quickly found us a pitch - we followed him on his bike.
Lucky to get a pitch on the edge of the furthest field - the area was crowded and many children playing in the centre area. Delightful views of the countryside - sheltered by hedges.
Toilets and showers in a central area - basic but very very clean. Showers -10p but adequate. Good area for rubbish disposal shut away from dogs and foxes.
Great walks to the coast from just down the road. £19 a pitch with EHU.

What a lovely campsite. As other reviewers have said, the toilets and showers are basic but were always spotlessly clean. We were given plenty of room to pitch our tent and it was great to wake up to the sound of birds and sheep with no traffic noise. Everyone was very friendly and it had a lovely atmosphere on the site
We visited the Cottage Inn for a drink and wished that we hadn't eaten already as the food that we saw being served looked and smelled very good. We will definitely eat there if we come back to this part of the country again.
If there is one improvement I would make, it would be to have the tent pitches closer to the toilet block. The two nearest fields are for caravans who generally have their own facilities on board. It feels a bit of a hike to the loos in the middle of the night!
I would recommend this site to a friend.

A lovely campsite with very even ground, plenty of space between tents and very friendly owners. The toilet facilities are about 200yds from the camping area and are very clean and tidy.
The campsite is within walking distance of Craster Bay and Dunstanburgh castle. Electric hook ups available.
My parents also pitched their caravan here at the same time and they also found it very good. The area is absolutely lovely and not far from the sea. 2 x pubs near by - The Rose and Crown and the Jolly fisherman. The jolly fisherman is my favourite and has the best beer garden ever overlooking the sea.
Good value for money

We stayed at Proctors Stead Caravan and Camping Park at the start of June 2011. The owners were very friendly and came to greet us straight away. The toilets and shower blocks were cleaned regularly (showers 20p).
There are nice walks between Dunstanburgh castle and craster, plenty of small pubs in Craster which serve food all day.
The campsite almost seemed segregated into sections with a separate field (separated by small picket fence) for statics, tourers, tents with adults and tents with adults and children. We found this to be great, not having children ourselves, we were able to lie in and not be woken by children in the morning. In the same sense, the children would not be woken on an evening when the adults are awake.
Overall very good site, would stay again for a weekend. Not enough to do in the surrounding area to stay for a week. We managed a walk around Alnwick, Craster, Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and still had plenty time for walks. Stayed for 2 nights.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of May. The weather was very mixed and I only mention this because the field we camped in must have been very sheltered. We could hear the wind howling in the trees but our tent seemed barley touched!
The toilets and showers are very clean and we never had to wait for either. Very good recycling facilities, all rubbish kept under one roof and very neat.
The site is very flat and tidy. Mr Davison (the owner) was friendly enough and shows you to your pitch. The site Facilities would greatly improve with a little shop,Mr Davison sells eggs, milk and orange juice but unfortunately we found this just wasn’t enough as you have to drive to the nearest shop (in Embleton 2/3 miles) for any fresh or forgotten supplies.
The site was very quiet which was ok we had no kids with us. But the kids that where there seemed to enjoy themselfs.
There is a pub/restaurant in Dunstan about 5mins walk, we did not try this due to the bad reviews it got on these pages but we had the fortune of talking to the new owner’s dad while out walking and if they are as friendly as he then we will definitely give it a try next time we visit.
Craster is a small but friendly place. We did try out the pub here and the food was reasonable but nothing to write home about and a little pricey but the staff where very friendly.
The surrounding area is just lovely and worth a visit to Dunstanburgh Castle.
We will definitely return.

Brilliant but basic site. We have been a few times now and we have always been happy to camp here.
The toilets and showers are basic but they are very clean at all times, the water is hot and they are spacious.
The reception sells orange, milk, eggs etc and you can order a morning paper if you are there early enough on a afternoon to do this.
The welcome on the site is excellent.
Surrounding area is stunning with plenty of coastal walks and good cycling. If you haven't been to this area you must take a visit!
The pub in Craster - the Jolly Fisherman does excellent bar snacks and sells a good range of drinks including real ale. Well behaved dogs are welcome in here and you can sit by the open fire in the winter or sit and watch out the window at the wildlife along the coastline.
We look forward to our next visit.

We have just returned from our second trip to Proctors Stead and once again we had an absolutely wonderful time. The site is incredibly quiet, the owner fantastically friendly (he takes you around the site on his bicycle to enable you to choose your pitch), facilities are basic but incredibly clean, spacious and with plenty of hot water (10p for a shower but you get plenty of time).
The pitches are incredibly generous and there are no pitch markers. There is no site shop but you can buy milk, eggs, fresh orange juice and lemonade from the reception area.
The local pub is a 5 minute walk away albeit it was closed for refurbishment at the time of our recent visit - under new ownership. Not a problem as Craster is only a 15 min walk away - there is a pub (again under new ownership) that does the most wonderful crab soup and they have also just opened up for food in the evenings which is a real bonus.
There is also a seafood restaurant (very good food at reasonable prices) - attached to Robsons which produce the best kippers I have ever tasted.
The area is absolutely stunning and unspoilt - such huge skies and magnificent beaches - all dog friendly!
One of my favourite spots on earth and we will definitely be back and we will be staying at Proctors Stead!
