 Clean well maintained campsite with good facilities and pleasant views out to sea towards the Farne Islands and towards Bamburgh Castle.
Convenient location, only 10 -15 minutes walk from the nearest Bus Stop, giving easy access to the Northumberland coastal bus services (Arriva X18 or Travelsure 418). There are also connections to visit Holy Island (Lindisfarne) using Perryman’s bus service 477 from Berwick.
The site is about 20-30 minute walk from the centre of Seahouses, via a footpath along the disused railway line. Here you can find shops, including a village supermarket staying open into the evenings, takeaways and restaurants, as well as at least three pubs selling Real Ale. Boat trips are available from the harbour to the Farne Islands, which are well worth a visit if you are interested in observing seabirds, in particular puffins. We went in July and saw several hundreds of birds.
The campsite prices are bit expensive, especially if, like us, you only have a small 2 man tent, do not have a car, and do not require an electric pickup, since the prices are per plot. However it is a good location and well run, so very popular and the site is often fully booked.

Beautiful campsite although the large open plan camping/caravan area(with EHU)felt more like you were at a festival than on holiday. The pitches are large and level.
The site and facilities were are superbly maintained and clean. All the camping/caravan amenities are in one block there are 4 toilets and 4 showers for women, these are in 2 separate rooms in the same block. The showers are superb(temperature/duration controlled by you)There are 4 showers for men but only 2 toilets which is frankly nowhere near enough for a site of its size. The washing up facilities are 3 sinks which are in the toilet block corridor, there are no shelves or anything and if you try to wash up in the end sink you have to move every time someone enters/exits the gents!
You have can have free use of a small freezer, fridge and microwave.
Fire pits can be hired for £3 per night and the reception sell kindling and wood to burn.
The nearest pub is a 30/40 minute walk away as the one that would be nearer has now closed down!
Nice pubs and restaurants in Seahouses and a village sized Co Op.
Overall a very good site and ideally placed for visiting beautiful beaches, castles, islands, etc.

I was given a warm welcome from the reception when I arrived and shown around. I already knew my pitch number and had a plan of the area from an email. Arriving late there is a list of people's names and site numbers left on the door. From the site you can see the sea and Bamburgh Castle. It was a level site with ehu which I don't usually use. I did enquire about another field but was told it was used by the animals after a certain time of year. I did see two tents in a non ehu field with wonderful views and I would have been happy to camp there. Nevertheless, I was very happy where I was. The field behind me was full of bleating sheep and at the side behind the shop and facility block was the farm full of lowing cattle so it was they rather than the usual dawn chorus which serenaded us in the morning.
On the corner of the main entrance was a poo bin and a verge of grass to take your dog for a last walk.
The facilities for me were two sets of ladies with two loos and two showers in each. As I was always awake very early that was no problem but for a site that size I don't think that is an adequate number. The shower was very hot and I didn't find a way to cool it down. Everything was clean and the corridor had two washing up sinks and one washing sink and a couple of washing machines, ironing board and a family room, men's room at the end and a bag full of poo bags for your dog conveniently placed by the door if you had forgotten one. Outside was a CDU and a drying room which was very useful. Also one of two areas of recycling bins and water taps, the other being nearer my field.
The shop was convenient for fresh milk and bread but expensive. I did have cause to speak to the warden and my problem was swiftly and tactfully dealt with.
There was a circle of wigwams (wooden pods) in front of the shop then more tents and caravans behind trees and the site was very relaxed in small areas and not a huge park. There was a children's park alongside and a back road to walk out of the site which eventually led to a woodland walk to the village, about a mile and got you right out to the centre, good for dogs and children away from the road.
Bamburgh is 3 miles away and you can walk right along the beach from Seahouses to the lovely village, not just for the castle but some great food shops, fresh fruit and veg shop, beautiful church and Grace Darling museum/RNLI shop.
Seahouses has a couple of fish and chip shops which close early on Sundays and a very convenient petrol station and not inflated prices.
I saw a few other campsites right beside roads. This is beautifully situated and from it I drove to Wooler, Rothbury, Amble and Holy Island without driving too many miles and the beautiful beaches of Embleton Bay and Alnmouth are close by. Alnmouth and Warkworth are lovely towns and Barter Books in Alnwick which allows dogs and has great coffee and sometimes live music is always worth a visit.
I would definitely stay here again.

We have just spent a week at this beautiful site. Well maintained, friendly staff. Showers and toilets kept clean. Washing up facilities were inside, where toilets and showers were. Laundry facilities and even an ironing board and iron were provided. Perhaps the water temperature could be set to a max 50 degrees as I found it a tad hot. It could easily scald, also the shower floor would benefit from a nonslip mat. Apart from that minor criticism I could not fault the site or facilities. There is a chest freezer and a larder fridge provided free of charge, which I made use of and nothing went missing. The cost of the pitch with electric was 140 pounds for the week, which I thought excellent for three adults. The nearest paper shop is a 2 and a 1/2 miles away in Seahouses. The A1 main route is 6-8 miles away. The Kebab shop in Seahouses is well worth a visit, very good value. One Kebab would be plenty for two people. I found the pubs were a bit expensive for food ie; pie, chips and peas in one pub was 11-95p which for 3 of us would be nearly 36-00p which I think is too much. It is an area of outstanding beauty and to travel to different places you certainly clock up the miles, but well worth it.

Large, country farm site, less than 30 minutes stroll from sea houses. Very friendly and helpful staff. All pitches are level, ample size for caravan, awning and car with hard standing and electric hook ups. Pods, bunkhouse and rental cottages also on site. Large tent field next to caravans. Shop on site which caters for basic provisions. Busy bank holiday when we were there and the site was full, caravans and tents. Even at capacity the toilets and shower facilities coped and were kept clean and tidy. Considering how busy the site was it was not noisy. Stunning views from some pitches out to the Farne islands and the beach is less than 5mins by car. Dog friendly site, some good level walks with a public footpath into Seahouses avoiding the busy road. Pitches are allocated and displayed on a board at the shop/reception. No pubs nearby, we walked by 3 which were closed/for sale on the way into Seahouses. Will definitely go back

Thoroughly good site with good to excellent facilities, very well maintained. If it was mine, I'd re-do the huge steps up to the facilities, even though there is an alternative sloped access - someone forgot to add the height of the flagstones when designing it!
Booked by email, got notification of pitch number (actually letter) and checked plan on line. Found staff very friendly and helpful whenever needed or encountered and did not miss them on arrival as all was pretty clear and no problems with setting up. Personally prefer the laid back hands off approach of this site to the 'clubby' alternative.
Excellent value, brilliant for dogs, good for cycling (if no stiff winds blowing).
Excellent local eating from Lewis's fish and chips in Seahouses to up market The Mizen Head Hotel at Bamburgh.
Will be returning often.

This is a well organised site. We arrived when the office was closed but there was a notice board listing the arrivals and allocating a pitch with a plan showing where the pitches were located. Many of the pitches were bounded by a hedge and were of a generous size. The toilet block was a bit tired and small. In April with the site not busy this was not a problem but in high season I think it might be. It is about half a mile from good sandy beaches with easy parking and ideal for dogs. An ideal site for exploring North Nortumberland.

Arrived here on spec after turning down our pre booked site elsewhere. Staff couldn't be more helpful and sorted us out in no time. We parked up and only gave them our names. 3 times we tried to pay but to no avail. We saw the site warden and he told us not to worry and enjoy our stay.
We had a spacious pitch with long views over the Northumberland coast.
The facilities on the site were well maintained although a little tired. It was very obvious that a programme of developing the whole site was on going and no doubt these will be revamped in time. The site was spotless.
It is a couple of miles into Seahouses which is easily accomplished. The whole area is well worth a visit.
Outstanding site and we will be back in the future.

Just returned from a lovely weekend at Springhill farm. Really nice site, well set out and maintained with beautiful views.
Good facilities, showers, laundry etc. All kept nice and clean. Great location for site seeing and plenty of lovely places close by the visit.
The only issue we had was problems with the electric, it seemed there almost wasn't enough power for everyone and our caravan kept have power downs which was inconvenient at times, however we got round it and it wouldn't put us off revisiting.

We booked in for 2 nights over the 1/2 term holiday, in a tent. We went over the Halloween period, we were warmly greeted when we arrived at the site, and found that the directions gave by the site was spot on, we found the site and was told that we're very brave. The site was brilliant and the views from the plot was really breathtaking, we will be back next year with a bigger party.
both shower block and the toilets were very good, and very clean as well as the dishwashing etc very good indeed. The playground was right next to our campsite, quite handy really, it meant that I was able to slump after football in out tent, the drying room was a good idea as well as it meant that we could dry both the towels and the tea towels with ease, the two chairs were a bit of a surprise as well

Before this visit we had 5 nights the first week in september. What a fantastic spot to stay. The staff are are very pleasent and polite. The shower block was always clean and plenty of hot water, washing machine & dryer available. The shop is open in mornings for essentials, there are shops in the village which is not far away. Could use more local information leaflets. Only gripe other dog owners not picking poo up. Miles of beautiful beaches to walk your dogs, you can walk to Bamborough on the beach. Its fab can't wait till next year.

Travelling with my disabled son I found the site on first appearances to be clean and tidy and the young girl on reception to be very helpful and patient. It is a real shame the wardens could not follow suit I am afraid they marred an other wise lovely birthday on site - a lifetimes wait to visit holy island. Also found dog mess a big problem. High steep steps to disabled shower room, which has not got full disabled facilities once inside. Our things were moved whilst we were out for the day, so when we arrived back we were on a new pitch, which was not really a major inconvenience as it was only two pitches down. Even though my son is disabled I didn't complain at this, but to then be settled and in the middle of our family birthday meal to be disturbed again within 10 minutes and told we would have go to another pitch on grass ( I am a 5 tonne 8.6 m motor home!) the pitch being 5m long with grass access only! I thought this inconsiderate at any rate but esp when they knew my son was disabled and it was our birthdays. Shame really as this lack of organisation and respect for others marred our day at the end and somehow was turned into being my fault! Love it NOT when people can't take responsibility for their mistakes! Bad customer service - there are other sites nearer holy island! And within the same vicinity.

A wonderful site. A great base to visit all the beautiful attractions that Northumberland has to offer. The toilets and showers were not the newest we have been to, but always clean. The showers were always hot and plentiful. The freezers and fridges were an extra luxury. No added on extra costs for showers or freezer blocks. We loved the fire pits to hire as well. The kids loved the site, they could roam and play with absolute safety.
The shop is sparsely stocked - but there are plenty of shops and supermarkets in the nearby towns of Seahouses and Bamburgh. For the best fish and chips you will ever eat - in Seahouses -can't remember the name, but it's on the roundabout in Seahouses with a picture of The Hairy Bikers on - huge portions that feed two hungry adults! The beaches are spectacular and never very busy. We had a week with the most amazing weather.
One of the best camping trips we have ever had - highly recommended. Thank you for a superb week x

We have recently returned from a great camping holiday. The campsite is situated in a secluded area, with stunning views and a short walk to seahouses.
The location is perfect for exploring northumberland whilst being near a resort that offers all you need, and a great co-op! The shop on site is adequate for your essentials and those that run it are exceptionally friendly and tolerant of 7 year old boys taking ages spending their pocket money!
Whilst at first I thought 4 showers wouldn't be enough for us ladies, I never queued once, they were exceptionally clean and of a good standard. There is a family bathroom which was very useful having taken a young baby.
The park has a small play area but is on a great grassy area for kids to have a good run around. The site is very well looked after and the pitches have plenty of room. I would highly recommend this site, and will no doubt return!

This is a must visit site. Staff friendly, facilities excellent and surrounded by sheep and fantastic views of Northumberland coast.
Our ten-year-old twins noted the playground and shop as big hits as well as crab fishing at nearby Beadnell harbour, the seals at the Farne Islands and the local fish and chips.
The site has a relaxed informality but is well run, safe and secure. Get up early to enjoy the spectacular sunrises. Will be back
