 First trip of the year, and we chose to come back to this site, which we first "discovered" in 2006 when Beadnell Bay C&CC site was full one weekend.
This is one of my favourites . As with all C&CC sites, there is good space between the tents, the facilities are clean, the wardens are really friendly and it is nice and quiet. (They found us a spot away from the play area as we don't have children). There is a very small shop on site, but otherwise it is a drive to the nearest village.
Reason we came back here? Embleton Bay. It is my favourite beach on the Northumbrian coast, and it is a pleasant 20 minute walk from the campsite to the beach through trees and fields.

Agree with all comments, campsite is very clean, staff very friendly and helpful, toilets and showers checked and cleaned regularly and hot water was plentiful. The only fault we would have with this camp site is that it isn't such a great place for the kids to play. The park is tiny and there were no ball games allowed so the children were very limited on what they could do. So although we did enjoy our stay we felt it was a little bit too strict (lights out and no noise after 10.30!) and the site could benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere. I do understand that when the site is full, a whole load of kids playing football wouldn't be a good idea. I do however feel that maybe if there were a few less pitches and a small playing field sectioned off then this site would score top marks.

Good, well maintained site, toilets and shower units are spotless, small shop for essentials, very friendly staff, only problem, no signal for mobile phones which could be a good thing! Dog walk is enclosed within a strip of trees which run along the campsite and is about a mile long, beach is a long walk over some fields but worth the effort. Would recommend and will use again.

I agree the site is beautiful and the wardens couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful, but I think the site is way over priced for what there is: I am not a member and had to pay a surcharge which meant I was paying £23 a night, but even without that I don't know if it would be worth it. There are not enough showers for a site this size and, to be honest, I thought the showers were the most pathetic I have seen in a long while. The heads are fixed and the water trickles out so you have to squeeze under with your back up against the pipework!
My two children were not impressed by the play area either, not even my 9 year old.
But I do agree the site is well ordered, and even though it was full this weekend everybody respected the no-noise-late-at-night rule, and the walk to the beach is very easy and enjoyable.
Maybe I'll go back in low season, or when I win the lottery.

Our first camping trip - staff could not have been more helpful, nothing too much trouble. Toilet block clean and tidy at all times. Site very peaceful a 15 minute walk to the wonderful beach and dunstanborough castle. Site shop sells basics and staff very informative. Only stopped 3 nights could have stayed for full week.Will be returning later this year.

Very quiet when we got there, but soon filled up for the Easter break. Fabulous walk to the fab beach.
New wardens and couldn't have been more helpful.
Beware the shop in Embleton looks like it came out of the dark ages, and don't be fooled by the grids on the windows it really is open.

A very pleasant site with excellent staff. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the site and its surroundings as we only stayed 2 nights and the site was full. Only gripe would be that they need more toilets and showers as its the first time we have ever had to queue for these.

Really lovely site, it restored my husbands love of camping! Even though it was fully booked there was still lots of space between the tents and caravans - which aren't segregated like at another Clubs sites.
No youths playing loud music well into the night, most folk in bed by 11,(even the folk up after 11 with the BBQs keeping their parties going were nice and quiet) really friendly helpful staff and free clean showers n loos.
We loved it so much we are thinking of going back for more weekends away and even for our main holidays next year!

The site offers what you would expect from a C&CC site, facilities second to none. The dog walk is one of the nicest we have been on and from there its only a short walk to a sandy beach. The site is on the national cycle route and between villages that boast pubs with good beer and food as well as good local shops.
The local area would suit both young families or wrinklies like myself as there is plenty to do for all age groups.

Excellent site with plenty of hardstandings and electric hookups available, clean toilet blocks and an excellent motorhome service bay for draining water / emptying loo etc
Beach about 15mins walk but well worth it on a pleasant August evening.
Staff were pleasant and friendly too.

We use this site a lot as it is only about 1 hour from home.
Usual high standards expected from the Camping and Caravanning Club. Unfortunately this site gets a bit crowded in the summer but is excellently located.
Well worth a visit

Very nice site - small and quiet - what you would expect from the Camping and Caravanning Club. Small playpark for kids but they can ride bikes etc round the site as its fairly small. Dog walk and pathway to the beach. The shower blocks (2) are very clean but not heated making them a bit chilly for this time of year!
Van comes round every morning around 9.30 selling rolls, papers, milk etc.
Embelton is 3/4 mile down the road with a post office, small shop and 3 pubs. If you take the road down to the Golf course, park up and walk through the dunes (5mins) there is the most lovely bay with views to Dunstanborough Castle
