 Just back from a 2 night stay at this great campsite.
The site has a number of static holiday homes and caravans which they let out. There is a field for touring caravans and a tent field. Both fields were fairly large with units mainly around the perimeter leaving the centre free for kids playing. There are two adventure play areas.
The touring and tent site share a block of toilets/showers and washing area. The ladies toilets area had I think 6 showers in and 6 toilets, 2 hairdriers. There was a mixed shower area which my husband used which had cubicles with showers, toilets, basin and a chair in which were fairly spacious which the ladies were not. But the water was free and hot and the areas were clean and well lit.
There is a shop on site which was quite expensive but ok if you are just picking up milk, bread and the kids some sweets. There was a bar area which served food, never used but smelled nice. The pool area was great our 10 year old, could easy stand up in the deep pool had a brill time as did the other kids who went in, it is heated but still cool. There was an arcade room which had pool, hockey table etc in it which the older boys and girls seemed to use.
All the kids seemed to mix well and my lad spent plenty of time off playing and making friends.
Park clean and tidy, lots of grassed areas and good walks for dogs.
The surrounding countryside and beaches are outstanding as expected in Northumberland.
Had a great few days and have already booked to go back in July for a week. Would recommend.

Just visited here today to look about. We have a tourer and would be happy to pitch here
It depends what your after mostly statics ad a holiday homes feel to the site
The pool looked small but ample. Parents having a drink at outdoor seating area whilst watching kids play
The tourers area also quiet all pitches are positioned round the centre ball games and park reception staff were helpful
It appeared well run and clean in a very quiet remote countryside location
If you are from a built up town area and want a peaceful retreat for family then this site is good
Lovely coastal walks but a car is definitely needed
Cycle routes are all steep hills so you need to be fit
Its not the large lively fun park kind of site but time together family bonding its perfect

Stayed here over the Easter weekend,and had a great time. Tent field lovely and flat and sheltered slightly with built up banks surrounding it.Couple of play parks on for the kids and large playing area in centre of fields for the kids to enjoy sports.
There is a small games room with bandits and a small pool table and a new games room is planned for later this year. Pool also looked great although not huge.
There is also a small club on site which serves excellent food at not a bad price for a campsite. Lager £2.70 a pint and small shop stocked basics at normal campsite prices.
Overall we found this was a good site although the cleanliness of the ladies toilets was unacceptable at times. Aware it was very busy but often no toilet roll in loos and could do with being cleaned more regularly, although husband found no fault with the gents.
There is also a lovely walk to bamburgh and I would recommend the castle pub which has a lovely beer garden and food served here was excellent.

As teenagers we have a slightly different views to most adults.
Grass pitches were of a good size and spacious enough to meet our requirements. The facilities were also quite good however everything was on the small side, the small bar was very full on the Saturday night and we struggled to be seated as there was 8 of us, however the pub was usually only full from around 6-8. There was also a small games room with sufficient games in such as a pool table, numerous bandits and a pinball machine, but a larger games room is opening later on in the year. There was also a reasonable size shop which sold all of the basics, we found the prices rather expensive compared to other sites, such as 65p for a small bag of quavers and £1.40 for a bag of haribos. Whilst our stay the outdoor pool had not yet opened but was a reasonable size and very clean. On a negative note, the female toilets were frequently not clean and out of toilet paper. Even first thing on a morning when the toilets should have been cleaned we struggled to find a clean toilet never mind toilet paper available. We are aware it was a busy weekend being Easter time however the cleanliness of the ladies toilets needs to be improved! Overall a good weekend and would come back again.

This site is ideal for a stress free break if you have children. There is a park and large grass area for other games (kids see space and love space!) This is very central and can be seen from most touring pitches. We could keep an eye on our children playing at all times.
The tent area also looks great and there is a view of the bay, the sea and Holy island in the distance. Nice to wander to area of the park where you can see this. My husband walked right down to the waters edge to photograph the sunset. Bamburgh beaches and sand dunes further along are fantastic.
Facilities on site were good. Cleaned well in middle of day but site was very, very busy when we were there so they were in need of the clean, if you know what I mean. Staff very friendly. More naturally outgoing than previous sites. As said it was a busy time but everyone was just enjoying their holiday. I looked around play field at 1 point and there were groups of children dotted about: Playing imaginary games, skittles, mini kites, football and so on.

First time at this site. The staff on arrival were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble.
The site itself is a big oval mix of grass, hardstanding and super pitches and a separate field for tents. The toilets are adequate and in much need of major refit.
The views from the dog walk are stunning, there is statics which there are lots. It is a big, sometimes packed, touring site with not a lot of space between vans but welcoming and a good shop and bar.
The only let down is toilets/showers and cramped vans. For the price per night this site really needs a makeover and better layout for tourers, as at the moment it is overpriced

We visited this site for a 4 day break and we found the site clean. The toilets were spotless and warm.
The only down side for us was the lack of facilities for children. As we had a couple of days of changeable weather and the rest of the time it would have been nice for the kids to have have a playground to play in. The restaurant and shops opening times were a bit sporadic. All in all a nice site for couples as the scenery is spectacular.

We have been to this campsite twice. The staff are very friendly, the site is vast with plenty of space and use of electrical hook ups for tents. It has good clean warm showers, the toilet / showers are heated, so you want be cold coming out the shower.
The bar sells good food at good prices and the bar is not to expensive. We will be going back this year for a few days again.
The countryside is lovely with Bamburgh castle only a 30 minute walk. The beach is only a 10 minute walk down the road.
While at the campsite, we seen families and couple both camping in harmony. The kids played in the middle of the camp field and we joined in with other adults (playing cricket). We had a great time and I know you will too.

We had a short break at Waren and had a brilliant time, despite the weather.
We found the place very clean. The staff were welcoming, and informative. A big bonus for us is that the site is dog friendly. Murphy had a wonderful time.
The van we hired was spotlessly clean and more than adequate for our needs.
A highly recommended place to eat was The Ship at Bamborough. The food cannot be faulted.
We have every intention of returning next year and look forward to another good holiday.

We went once in 2007 to try the place out and have been back three times in 2008, and planning to go again in October. Through choice we've gone for a basic pitch with no mains services, (rather than the 'floppy hotel' set up that my wife describes as being 'not proper camping') though we might rough it another time on a pitch with electric hookup.
One trip was Easter 2008 - the first morning we woke up to find the tent covered in frozen hail, and the following morning the ground was frozen solid. Lousy weather, Arctic winds, terrific stay, we loved it.
Facilities throughout are top notch, and the public areas and facilities are actively kept clean - IMO it would take a mean person to complain about a bit of (fresh) grass etc on the shower floors from the previous occupants; after all, we're all living on a grassy field.
Being able to wash dishes, clothes, and yourselves at will is as good as home and better than many a hotel.
Other reviewers talk about the pool which neither of us sampled (being somewhat above 18yo!) but every time children were in the pool we could see they were having a great time. Some people we talked to said they went back to Waren because their kids loved the pool.
The people we've met there have always been friendly and neighbourly - maybe we've been lucky, or maybe it's just that campers are like that.
The staff at the site office, shop and bar/restaurant are welcoming and helpful and let you get on with your holiday, but if you need them they're there.
The 11pm 'curfew' works well, because it's overwhelmingly observed, so it has to be right. For people that want to get wrecked and party all night this is not the place to camp. From what we experienced people who take offence at the sight and sound of kids having fun are unlikely to make themselves feel at ease.

Just back after spending 10 days here with my family. The site was really good, the people were so friendly, showers was free and hot water all day. My kids loved the park and the large area where they played all day. The pool was brilliant. Only had a meal in the restaurant once but it was brilliant the plate was full and at a reasonable price too, also the take away was so handy especially in the evening when kids got a bit hungry.
The shop was a bit disappointing as it closed early so if you run out of something you had to wait until next morning and not stocked very well with camping accessories. Would definitely recommend this site and will also love to go back.

This is the second year we have stayed on this site. Both times we have found the facilities good,the heated outdoor pool was really nice, the shower block although grass filled always worked and the water was hot.
The pub and shop although quite basic were very handy as there is nothing close by. We used the electric hook up in our tents for lighting and cooking. We have an 8 man tent that has two bedrooms, and were asked to pay for two pitches to put this tent on even though it fit fine on one pitch last year. The site said this was because campers last year thought there was not enough room between tents.
The site's rules are that there is minimal noise during the day, and complete silence after 11pm. What that doesn't specify is that if you play any music before 11pm the other campers may complain (this did happen to me) and the warden who checks the site at 11pm will then give you a warning not to play music or make a noise or you will be asked to leave. So if you have teenagers or like to play music this may not be the site for you. However if you love peace and quiet you will find this site ideal.

Ive just come back from Waren mill. Despite the weather me and my daughter loved it, the toilet and shower room were lovely and clean and I loved the Idea of the washers and dryers. The lady on reception was very nice. We are definitely going back. The shop is not that expensive. We were a bit water logged but still had fun. I'm going to buy a bigger tent for the next time we go.
The only thing was a couple of kids playing with the ball and hit my car and tent yet it tells you no ball games around the tents. But would recommend it to everyone. I will say it again we loved it. Hope I get better weather next time.

We stayed here for 8 nights. A good site with large kid's play area in centre with tourers surrounding it.
The toilet block was adequate. The cleaners were there at regular intervals throughout the day but they didn't seem to to be able to keep up with the muddy feet in the showers. Our pitch was right next to the block so it wasn't the quietest pitch although it wasn't a problem as it was our choice to choose a serviced pitch.
The site has a small 'heated' swimming pool but I don't think it was very heated as my daughter's lips were turning blue after playing in it!
Plenty to do in the area with Berwick to the north and Alnwick to the south and the small town of Seahouse about 5 miles away with a few tourist attractions. We had a meal in the 19th Hole Crazy Golf cafe and were amazed with size of the helpings.
We would certainly go back to Waren Mill again.

We chose this site based on its predominately good reviews and its location.
The main touring area is circular. There are also around 5 separate areas for statics. We thought that the majority of units were pitched too close to each other. Our neighbour on one side of us also commented on this and the fact that if a fire occurred some cars would actually struggle to get out.
The washblock was not to the standard we are used to. Although it was not visibly dirty, apart from the grass that had been walked in, you certainly did not feel it was that clean either.
The wet rooms were better and I used these twice, preferring to use our own end washroom for the majority of our stay.
The site states it has a takeaway but unfortunately they only serve food until 9pm. This meant that after an 8hr drive we were unable to get a hot meal on our first night. We didn't bother trying the bar or the restaurant.
We thought the shop was over priced as we paid £1.74 for a loaf of bread. There is however, a Co-op in Belford which is approx a 4 mile drive.
We had heavy rain on the Thursday night through to the Friday morning. When I opened the door to the awning I was shocked to discover that there was about 6 inches of water in it, especially as we'd paid extra for a hardstanding and fully serviced superior pitch. Our awning resembled a paddling pool!
The whole pitch was actually flooded and our jockey wheel was under water. The member of staff my husband spoke to said it had been worse the previous year. The 'vans either side of us were no-where near as bad and ours seemed to be the worse. We were offered a credit note but this was no good to us as having driven over 365 miles there is no way we'd be going back again this year!
Thankfully the sun came out so we packed up the awning (and several electrical items that are probably ruined) and decided to stay until the Saturday.
I think the only good points of this site are it's location and proximity to Bamburgh and the beautiful surrounding area.
