 One of the best sites I have ever used.
The site is immaculate without being regimented or overly developed. When you book in you are taken to your pitch in a way that ensures you have plenty of space without the worry of later arrivals being squeezed in and overcrowding the site - an increasing problem that has driven us from some sites that we had previously used for years.
The facilities are a little basic but very very clean and more than adequate for the number on site. The site bungalow sells the basics of milk, eggs etc.
The coastal walking in the area is astounding. The coastal village of Craster is just 1/2 a mile away with an excellent pub and the renowned Smokary for kippers, smoked salmon etc.
Fantastic!

An excellent campsite. Though it holds a significant number of caravans and tents, the site is large and the owner guides you to your spot and ensures a good spacing between units.
Ground is flat, and facilities are excellent; not only good showers and toilet blocks, but milk and eggs available from the owner - what more could a camper ask for?!
The area is simply fantastic for a weekend trip or longer. Craster is idyllic, Dunstanburgh striking, the local pubs are all excellent.

This was our favourite campsite on our 2 week touring holiday. The facilities are spotless even during wet weather. The showers cost 10p but you get loads of hot water for ages. There were never queues as there seem to be plenty of toilets/showers for the number of people, even when the site is full. The toilet/shower cubicles are also very spacious which makes it easy to use them with a toddler.
We had a sheltered pitch alongside the hedge and weren't put too close to our neighbours. However if you had a pitch in the middle of the field you wouldn't have so much privacy. Very peaceful at night. You can also walk to the coast and to a fantastic beach. I would definitely come back here.

Very clean and pleasant site. Toilets and shower block, although quite old, spotlessly clean. All pitches level and appeared well drained.Tuned up with no cash, roadwork's stopped us getting off the A1, but the owner was really helpful, let us park our van then gave us directions to a cash point. Nice cash point too, inside a pub!
If here was a fault, it was that we were sited in the middle of the site, rather than round the edge, but it was a huge field, so apart from no shelter from a wall or hedge, it was fine.
Nearest pub, Cottage Inn, was just a short walk away, but we found it quite expensive. A short dive to the Jolly Fisherman in Craster was much better, a sea side pub with a beer garden overlooking the harbour.
Will definitely go back to Proctors Stead, but maybe request a more sheltered pitch.

A very clean, flat site located in a wonderful area. The toilet and shower block was adequate although the toilet cubicles would benefit from having their own hand washing facility. If all the sinks are being used, you would have to wait to wash your hands after using the toilet. Eggs, milk and juice could be purchased from the camp office.
The no ball games and dogs must be leashed signs, were generally ignored, although anyone carrying out these activities did seem to take care and it didn't cause any problems. The local pub (10 min walk) served good food and drinks at reasonable prices.
A mile down the road is the harbour village of Craster. The village is famous for its kippers, and having tried them I can understand why, they are delicious. If you like walking, this is an ideal location. It is possible to walk for miles along the beautiful coastline.
There are many beautiful beaches that have few people on them. The castle at Dunsborough is worth a visit but we preffered the one a few miles away at Warkworth. The Hermitage pub, at Warkworth, have a carvery on Friday nights. The food is excellent, the staff friendly and the prices are reasonable.To avoid disappointment, it is advisable to book a table.
Unfortunately we could only stay for five nights but will certainly be back. The places that we enjoyed visiting as follows. Craster, Alnwick (Barter books and gardens), Warkworth and Alnmouth. Amble was a disappointment and lacked the charm of other places visited but the chippy next to the harbour did dish up some great fish and chips.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this site. Robbie (owner and manager) was helpful and generally pleasant though the site is mainly aimed at those without children and ours were moved on from anywhere they could be. It has no play area and is therefore very quiet- especially at nights.
We found many people not tolerant of children playing even beside our caravan using a swingball were asked to move! There are lots of permanent pitches and seasonals. These people get on together very well and are friendly, and this creates a bit of a oldies atmosphere. There is a way to the rocky beach around Dunstonburgh Castle and Craster is a walk away, but if you want sand, its quite a way.
You can buy basics at the bungalow, but anything more from Craster. The next nearest site is the caravan club at Dunstan Hill and we met someone who had just come from there saying it was dirty (loos never cleaned) and knee deep with uncut grass. This used to be a more convenient site, but it is noisier as it has a play area and the children were playing until well after eleven.

Lovely site Quiet location well worth a visit. Level with some shelter from a tall hedge, well maintained and quiet, no set play area for children.
Toilet block, always clean, plenty of room in all the shower cubicles for changing, plenty hot water, remember the 10p's.
Nearest small shop is at Craster 5mins by car. Main shopping, Alnwick 7 miles or Seahouses 10 miles.
We will be visiting again.

Great Little site, I dont understand why a previous review said that the owner was a bit grumpy, He spoke every time he passed and always had a little time for a chat. He escorted us to our pitch when we arrived.
Toilets were an older style block but very very clean every time you used them, 10p for a shower but good electric showers.
One thing I would say is that if you are in a touring caravan try to get a pitch around the edge of the field rather than stuck out in the middle of the field.
The cottage restaurant is a five minute walk away although I dont understand all the raves about the food, it is just pub food nothing special
You can walk to Craster about 5 mins away, and short drives to Alnmouth, Beadnell & Seahouses.

Lovely flat site close to Craster and coast. Perfect for touring round this wonderful unspoilt area.
Site was spacious and toilets and showers clean and warm at all times if a little dated.
Nice pub serving real ales is a 5 minute walk away and a second pub in Craster is only about 15 to 20 minutes stroll.
Owners sell milk juice and water from a crate on the step with a trust box for payment which is a nice touch.
I agree with the comment that the owners come over as a bit grumpy but they couldn't have been more helpful so Im convinced its just shyness. Would use this site again.

What a great campsite. Lovely location, tucked away behind the coast at Craster; 25 minutes walk across the fields from Dunstanburgh Castle.
Facilities - simple, exceptionally clean and well maintained.
The owner, not a man of many words, but very friendly and very helpful. He offered to pump up our mattresses when our pump broke.
The site was clean and spacious and as many people describe it - not crowded when the 'site full' notice went up.
A real family site - where the kids all mix in and play in the middle.
Lots to do in the area, Alnwick Garden and the Farne Islands are a must. Holy Island and the castles and beaches are lovely too.
Definitely worth a visit!

The location of this site is great, and the facilities are spotless. Owners had a tendency to be a bit on the grumpy side and I don't think mowing the lawn on a mower tractor, around caravans that are already pitched is a great idea, but hey!
It cost us £10 for one tent, two people and one car which is quite good value.
Showers are nice and hot and cost 10p for about 3 to 4 minutes.
As the site wasn't full when we were there I can't comment on busier periods, but whilst we were there everything was kept really clean.
We will definitely be back.

Flat, well drained grass. Did get rather crowded over bank holiday weekend, but we never had to queue for the loo or shower, and they were always clean.
No loud music, very quiet at night. Appeared to be young families or older retired couples.
Surrounded by cows and sheep, and only a short walk from the excellent Cottage Inn.

This is an excellent site, the owners are extremely helpful and friendly. We arrived just after 7.00pm and were shown on to a pitch with hook up. All the pitches are grass but in good condition and appear to be well drained. The toilets and other facilities are spotlessly clean and are kept that way throughout the day. Although the site takes tents they are pitched away from the caravans avoiding disturbance.
The local pub is a very short walk and sells food. The beer was good however it doesn't allow dogs which was a slight inconvenience for us.
We'll be returning to this site this year and I'm sure many more times in the future.

Just returned from a most enjoyable week. Although 'campsite full' sign displayed over the Easter weekend did not feel at all crowded, toilets facilities were spotless throughout our stay. Friendly hosts who were very helpful when we arrived. Would definitely make a return visit to this site. Milk, eggs, fruit juice available on site + shop in the village. Good walking country plus two pubs and a seafood restaurant all within walking distance, try them all, we did.
Marks out of ten. TEN!
