 Just returned from a lovely week at Springhill farm. What a great campsite! Pitch was flat and spacious - all pitches looked more than big enough to take our roomy 6 man tent.
Views from the site were wonderful - many pitches did not have these views immediately, but it was only a short walk to a large grassy area where you could enjoy them all day if you wanted to. We were lucky to see a couple of spectacular sunsets and sunrises too.
The wardens were really helpful, informative and very friendly, but not intrusive. Evening noise was limited to the sound of birds, sheep and gentle talking and all totally quiet by 11. Facilities were clean, warm and tidy with plenty of hot water; neither of us had to queue for loos or showers even though the site was full.
The family bathroom is an added bonus, indoor washing up facilities are handy too on a rainy day. The on-site shop was very useful and it was nice to be able to book fish and chips (delivered to the tent) when we got there after a long journey.
Whilst there was just the two of us we noticed that this seems to be a very family friendly site, with a good balance of facilities / freedom for children and a relaxed / friendly feel for adults. When we were looking for campsites in Northumberland we narrowed it down to three and chose Springhill.
We took a look at the other two whilst in the area and, whilst there was nothing wrong with the other two from what we could see, we are really pleased with our choice. We will definitely be back on our next camping holiday in the area. Thanks again to all at Springhill for a very enjoyable holiday.

Stayed at this site with my wife & two young children for 2 weeks in the summer holidays, we had a fab time and will be returning with friends in the October half term. Great location & views, beach is within wlking distance, children loved the little park & the fact that it was a working farm they got a glimpse of some of the tractors etc.
Amenities were great, showers as powerful as home, cleaned several times a day. Microwave, freezer, washers, dryers, plenty of sink space for washing up, family bathroom with both bath & separate shower. There is a reception on site that stocks all sorts of groceries, fresh produce locally sourced & yummy, friendly staff who were always happy to help. The reception was open between 8:30am - 6pm, they even deliver fish & chips on a Friday, you need to pre-book this & they were delicious. Wardens who live on the site helped us out on numerous occasions, they were available at all hours & if they weren't visible on site their contact number was clearly visible in the reception window as well as the toilet block.
The site is a family run business, they were very knowledgeable about the area recommending nice walks & activities for the children. They often would patrol the site at various times of the day & night, we never experienced any noise at night time during our stay, everyone was very respectful. I would recommend this site as it was a great find, a little gem on the Northumberland coast. Can't wait to return

I would definitely visit this site again. The views and location are incredible.
I would time my visit carefully though and make sure it didn't span a Friday or Saturday night as the site was very busy and incredibly noisy until very late! Lots of weekend bookings I think.
The pitches were large, and sufficiently apart. Facilities were great (clean although busy at peak times)and shop was sufficient. Play area was fantastic (for the children anyway!) best view of any play area I've seen. Felt comfortable letting kids run there and play on their own.
I had read about the lack of customer service on arrival. This was true but I didn't really miss it and found the pitch easily. What I did miss was some sort of contact with someone 'in charge'. We met no staff throughout our week's stay and would've liked to know who to go to when shop closed - especially re the late night noise.
Easy walk from the site into Seahouses, even with small children. Italian restaurant in Seahouses (Elan) definitely worth a visit.
To sum up, great location, very nice site would recommend but personally I would avoid at weekends.

Our second visit to this site and I am pleased to say the site was just as good as our first visit. We couldn't fault it!
Unfortunately we experienced extremely high winds and as a result our tent was damaged despite 2 fellow campers coming to our aid!
Cannot comment on owners as didn't actually meet them. Our pitch number was on notice board so just organised ourselves.
We love the site but in future will only be booking last minute when weather favourable. Not the fault of the site, but something to be aware of if camping in a tent!
Also quite expensive as we do not require elec hook up but apparently all pitches have that now so had to pay for service we didn't need.

A very large site with no barriers. No one around to speak to just a board with our name and pitch number. The map of the site was a small A4 stuck at the bottom of the window so spending time on knees and twisted neck to try and find where pitch should be. Eventually having drove round twice found someone in the facilities block cleaning who pointed in the right direction.
Large pitch with electric.
Facilities are fabulous with lots of loos and showers for the ladies, however, hubby queued nearly everyday as there were only 2 urinals and 2 toilets on a site this big at the height of summer you would need more toilets!
Drying room was good as was the washing facilities.
Although there were motor home facilities to drain etc it was a mare trying to get into position to reach them.
Wonderful base for Bamburgh Castle and Seahouses both within walking distances.
My only quibble was the barking border collie from 6am every morning. I appreciate it is a working farm and all the noise with it but this dog barked incessantly from his steel bar type shed looking for his master. So no lazy sleep ins for us that holiday up at 6-630 each morning. I prefer around 8 on my holidays!
A clean place with a small shop which opened peak times. The staff I spoke too were friendly.
Will visit again but may ask for a pitch away from the barking dog!

The view from the pitch encompassed green fields, sea, Bamburgh Castle, the Farne Island and lighthouses. Sounds ideal? Well the views were, but I found this camp site lacking in other areas.
The booking process involves you paying on line in advance so consequently you’ve paid before you arrive. On arrival we found that our pitch was heavily populated by trees. So much so that our tent would have been on to the road if we had pitched it. I had phoned the site when originally booking as there were limited pitches left, so specifically mentioned the pitch and the size of my tent and at no time was this mentioned. On arrival the female shop assistant was particularly unhelpful saying “We’ve had big tents on it” and “There is nothing I can do”. The Warden then arrived and was equally unhelpful. The site map in the window (and which was on the website) did not show the trees to which he responded “It’s not to scale”. Maybe not, but you expect it to show if the actual tent pitching area is actually only a small strip of the pitch. Eventually and whilst I was looking for alternative campsites, they rang the owner and a pitch on the non-electric field was found (there are a couple of electric pitches actually on this field) which we accepted. By this time though our perception of this site had been severely dented.
The field was reasonably quiet during the week but come Friday ( and the prospect of a sunny weekend) they were shoehorning people in to all sorts of spaces; some tents were almost touching. This included squeezing a large Motorhome between us and the next pitch despite infringing safety rules. The Warden was again totally ineffective and it resulted in the owner having to come out and ultimately the Motorhome was shifted out. It did leave me wondering why the owners just don’t get more involved with the site as they have infinitely more customer skills than their staff.
The site was quite noisy on a night and I would be especially careful about booking a pitch near the Bunkhouse as this has a balcony on which the large groups renting it sit out and I could clearly hear them across the far side of the site. The toilets are OK – showers were always hot - but at weekends there were not enough facilities and queues developed (e. G. Only two toilet cubicles in the mens). There were a good number of washing up sinks and laundry and a drying room which was nicely heated and helped with any wet clothes and towels. There was a children’s play area and a good grassy field around it for playing in. The site also rented fire pits by the night which was a good touch.
It is the views from the site which are its greatest asset (although by no means do all pitches have views so check when booking). Seahouses is nearby from which there are a number of boat trips around the Farne Island. Definitely worth a visit for the hundreds of seals and puffins on view and a trip up Grace Darling’s lighthouse. Whilst in Seahouses I would certainly recommend Elan Pizzeria – a very small but good, well priced restaurant which all ages will enjoy. Bamburgh is the other way out of site and has a great stretch of beach as well as some nice pubs (The Castle) tea rooms (The Copper Kettle) and traditional butchers. There is also the castle in Bamburgh itself although we chose to go to Alnwick Castle because of its Harry Potter related events and got a dual ticket for this and the Gardens, which we visited on a separate day and which have something for young and old alike (The tour round the barred and gated Poison Garden was good and there are spectacular water features).
Would I return. Probably not; the lack of customer care and impersonal nature of the site would deter me as would some of the pitches. If it was not peak season and I knew exactly the state of the pitch I was getting maybe.

The site was lovely, clean and good amenities. Staff were very helpful. It was our first time to Northumberland and will visit again. Short walk to Seahouses 20-30 mins - we found 2 nice pubs with sea views
The site was not too busy in the week but was fully booked for the weekend so if you want to stay for a full week you do need to book. The only bad point is there is only 2 mens toilets for campers, ladies is fine though

Paid in full when booking and given our pitch number (09) Told just to pitch on arrival so we did. Did not see the warden through out our stay.
The campsite it self is located close to seahouse's with good views of bamburgh castle and the farne islands, if no sea fret. The camp site has no barrier so anyone could drive on to the site, would be nice to see coded barrier for more security. The pitches some hard standing large enough to fit awning Better ones seem to be close to the park, Also grassed areas for tents.
There is not much shelter from the winds around the site but the views make up for it, showers where hot and toilets where clean at all times, The kids enjoyed playing in the park and playing fields.
There is a small shop selling the basics.
Over all price for staying at this site is good as I have stayed at few around the area and this seem best.
Would recommend friends and family to this site

We have always used nearby cc or c&cc sites but with rising costs decided after reading reviews on Springhill to give it a go.
The site is fantastic and great value for money.
Easy access by foot or bike into either Bamburgh or Seahouses. Spectacular views of the Farne Islands and Bamburgh.
Pitches are roomy, well placed and drain quickly. Not exactly even but with very little levelling required.
Facilities are ample if a fair walk from some of the pitches but are clean with modern showers, laundry and a drying room. We always shower late at night and never had to queue despite it being a peak period. The site has a shop selling the very bare essentials.
This is a working farm so there is movement from early on of tractors but that does not detract from the site in anyway.
The only downside is on arrival there isn't a manned reception just a board displaying your pitch number, all having prepaid, which means you must drive around looking for the correct marker - not very welcoming when you aren't familiar with the site/area.
Overall a site which we would visit again.

Arrived to find our pitch listed on a board and we were left to find our way there a bit impersonal would have been nice to be shown to our pitch.
The weather was atrocious all week several vans had to be moved as the pitches flooded.
Loos/showers clean and adequate.
Not really our kind of place but the site is fine great if you like the great outdoors as not much to do.
Don't think we will be returning to the area.

We have just returned from a 7 day stay at this wonderful campsite. The warden and his wife were so helpful and the site was beautifully clean and well appointed.
I can honestly find no negatives and it is so well positioned for touring this beautiful part of the world.
We had only booked for 5 nights but they were so helpful in finding us another pitch for the two extra nights.
The charge was amazingly reasonable at £18 per night and no extras for showers etc. Prices for laundry were also very fair.
We will definitely recommend to all other motorhomers.

WOW! That's all I can say.
We visited Springhill Farm as we where going on a Farne Island trip to view/photograph the Puffins.
This site is beautifully well kept. The pitches are large, the layout is great and the facilities are spotless.
The wardens/owners are very friendly and helpful.
The view out to sea and also to Bamburgh Castle is fantastic.
There is a Motorhome service point too.
The walk down into town is pleasant and not too far, just over a mile of which half is on a quiet country lane and the other half on a footpath/cycle path which I suspect is an old railway line.
I have no reason to give a rating less than max!
We will be back!

This is a 6 star campsite. The best we have ever stayed on in nearly 30 years of camping. Fantastic location.
Great views and a 20min walk down a pretty country lane to what must be miles and miles of the best beach in the country. Miles of sand dunes. The pitches are huge, very flat and well drained.
Grass in lovely condition and ground neither to soft or too hard. Facilities fantastic. Showers (free) and toilets spotless at all times.
Excellent water pressure in the showers and unlimited hot water. Free hairdryers. Indoor pot washing area with plenty hot water.
Microwave, fridge and freezer for everyone's use. (free). Loved being able to freeze cool packs for free and not having to queue at reception to exchange them.
Didn't meet the wardens (didn't need to) but it would have been easy to contact them if necessary.
Will definitely be back again!

This site has many great factors. I have no negative comments.
Located in a beautiful part of the country. Beaches, countryside, views and more.
Toilets and showers fab. Lovely and warm.
Good playpark with grassy space to run around and play games.
No main roads nearby. Safe for little ones.
Some of the pitches have hedging round them. All pitches are nice. Its one of those sites I wouldn't mind where I was put.
Good facilities for people in tents and wigwams. BBQ area, microwave, fridge, sockets.
I suspect this site is gaining popularity as we speak and when I took a drive round a few years ago, even before the wigwams, bunkhouse etc were added, I said to myself I thought the site had a lot going for it.

This site is lovely but very exposed. There is no shelter from the landscape (it's quite flat), this may change when the trees and hedges around the site are mature.
There are some delightful views of the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle from the pitching area.
The pitches are large and well spaced and the ground is well drained (handy, after a very wet April).
The toilets and showers are clean and warm, there are four showers and toilets in the ladies and four showers and two toilets in the gents. There are washing machines, tumble dryer, fridge, freezer and microwave in the corridor of the block along with three dishwashing sinks with plenty of hot water.
There is a play area on site which looked good, but our 13 year old granddaughter didn't use it so can't really comment.
The surrounding area begs to be explored (we didn't really have time on this visit), with quite a few National Trust properties and lots and lots of castles! Cragside House is a fantastic place to visit and spend a few days (we've been three times now and still not seen it all).
Would like to return here but it would have to be for more than a weekend next time.
