 Just home from a lovely holiday at Springhill Farm. The site is within walking distance of Seahouses (30mins) and there is lots to do in the surrounding area.
The facilities were good and the toilets and showers were kept clean. Didn't have to wait in a queue once although my husband did! The family bathroom was a definite plus, especially as our daughter doesn't like showers! There was plenty of hot water too.
Washing machines and tumble driers were available at a reasonable charge.
The play area is small but the children seemed to enjoy it and lots of new friends were made. There is a good sized field for ball games too.
We were in the camping field which I was a bit worried about when I booked. However, this meant we were able to pitch our tent wherever we wished and we got the best views from there. The field is on a gentle slope but there are plenty of level spots to pitch.
The main site seemed quite well laid out, with some pitches bigger than others.
The site was quiet before 11pm although others in the main site did complain about a party of campers who were noisy.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return to this site if we are in the area again.

Turned up to find we'd been allocated a different pitch (24) to the one I'd pre-booked (26) 10wks earlier, and there was a tent on the one we'd booked - not the best start after 4hrs travel! But a chap called Mark was very helpful. He apologised on behalf of mgmt & offered us an alternative pitch, and offered our pick of the adjacent camping field. We took the latter - and would choose it again! Great views out to sea, lambs in the field across - wonderful!
I'm a bit of a clean-freak, but the facilities were spotless every time! Proper hot showers (x4 female/x4 male + family room); great washing up facilities, and a freezer to pop the cool-packs in. There were dryers available at 20p a go - but didn't have cause to use them. Chemical waste disposal also.
The site's really well set-up; very well maintained - Mark even mowed an extra bit of the field for us! We'd definitely stay again - highly recommend!
We had a walk to Bamburgh Castle and back from the site - what gorgeous beaches! utterly outstanding ! Can highly recommend the Hairy Biker chippy in Seahouses - looks a bit 'trucker cafe' but the fish & chips are deliciously yummy!
Also had a crack at crazy golf in Seahouses which was a bit of a giggle (especially when a rabbit popped up and ran across the 'green'! And don't miss the shop on the corner opposite - it's like a tardis and sells everything - including a mallet (£1. 25)to our delight!
Had a trip to Alnwick one day - historic market town about 14miles away - which is well worth a visit. We did the Alnwick treasure trail which was great fun, and allowed us to see the town in a different way (And we're adults without sprogs!)
Overall, we had a great 4-night break - we'll be back ;o))

There is always a slight feeling of trepidation turning up to a campsite for the first time. Is it going to be somewhere to be endured or enjoyed?
On our recent cycling tour from Edinburgh to Newcastle (the Coasts and Castles Route), we had already been to one campsite that we couldn't bring ourselves to stop at (and ending up camping in the picnic area of a service station on the A1 because it was nicer!), so now we nervously arrived at Springhill Farm hoping to camp for three nights.
It was possibly the nicest campsite we've ever stayed at. As soon as we entered the gate, we felt welcome and at home. There is a new, very smart reception office with the friendliest wardens you could ever wish to meet.
Pitches on the main campsite looked enormous, and very level. The wind was unusually strong, so with our small tent we were allocated a pitch among some sheltering trees, not quite so level but we were very happy to be there.
The loo and showerblock was spotless and had proper fittings - none of that trying to hold in a pushbutton for the shower with one hand while attempting to wash your hair with the other. These were as good as home. There was also a family bathroom. The washing up sinks, laundry sink, washing machines and dryers were all in the same building as the showers, along with a microwave. Whoever designed and fitted out this block must have been a camper!
The campsite is on National Cycle Route 1, and benefits from a nearby track/path running into Seahouses.
Then there's the view - Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. Both places are highly recommended. Take a boat trip to Inner Farne and have close encounters with puffins and other beautiful seabirds. And check out the beach at Bamburgh with the great bulk of the castle behind it. Lindisfarne is only a few miles away and worth a visit, but gets very busy. We cycled across the causeway at 9 am and were able to enjoy it before the coaches started turning up.
Seahouses has a well-equipped Co-op, with a surprising number of different Champagnes in the chiller cabinet. It also has a few fish and chip shops, one of which claims to be the best in Britain, and favoured by the hairy bikers. We tried a different one and had no complaints. We also had a drink and some food in The Bamburgh Castle, on the Seahouses harbourside and can recommend it, especially for the view. A special treat is to feed the colony of eider ducks in the harbour.
The wind got stronger during our visit and we were fortunately able to book into the Lookout Bunkhouse on site. Again, everything about the bunkhouse was first rate. A comfortable lounge with large flat screen tv, small rooms with en suite bathroom and a superbly equipped kitchen. At £14 per person it was not much more expensive than some campsites. We also had the use of a drying room and cycle store.
That evening the wind hit 103 mph in Seahouses, and the Springhill Farm wardens deserve much commendation for their untiring efforts to minimize damage to caravans, awnings and tents, even though conditions were extremely hazardous. We were sorry to say 'goodbye' when we left on our journey south.

Having had such a wonderful time at this site staying with some friends at the beginning of the school holidays, I decided to book in for a weekend with my partner as I thought he would love it too.
On my first visit we had a lovely pitch close to all of the excellent facilities. On the second visit, we were in the camping field. The ground was so hard we couldn't get the pegs in properly and there was little shelter from the strong sea breeze.
Once pitched we had a nice evening, although the ground was very hard! and I've never used an airbed! On the second night after arriving back from a lovely visit to a pub in North Sunderland, we noticed lots of bikes had appeared opposite us, this didn't worry us too much as the site has a no noise after 11 rule and the website clearly stated that wardens patrolled, obviously not in the camping field. At around 1am some drunk men ran past the back of our tent (which was unnecessary) and knocked our guy ropes out. THEN at around 2am the bikers returned! shouting and swearing, discussing peeing behind the tents! this went on until about 3am. I tried to contact the wardens who did not answer their phone. When I complained the next morning there was a apology which did not make up for ruining our weekend. We had planned on spending Sunday in Bamburgh but had to come home and get some sleep instead!

Stayed here last weekend overnight with our 16 month old for his first camping trial. Even though the weather was terrible the campsite was great, very family friendly and my little boy loved the sheep and lambs in the field next to us.
We camped on the electric hook up pitches which were all a good size, not cramped at all and the facilities were fantastic, especially with a little one, a great family bathroom too. Also very helpful when I booked, requesting a pitch away from the road/path.
We will definitely come back soon and hopefully we'll get better weather

Stayed mid week,site nipping clean and staff very helpful. You will find it hard to find a more beautiful view from any site, Bamburgh castle on one side farne islands on the other what more can I say.
Hired a fire pit what a good idea boys loved spotting satellites and shooting stars once it got dark.
Showers always hot and microwave washers and driers a big bonus. Very cold on the wed night but what can you expect in April.
Only a short walk into Seahouses along a well signed path
All in all an excellent site will definitely visit again.

What a wonderful site! We had 2 tents with electric - had a wonderful weekend. Hired the fire pit and bought logs -what wonderful idea. Toilets and showers really good loads of hot water. While we were there there was a large party in the Wigwams and bunk house - a little rowdy but they all kept quiet after 11 - if you want to ensure you have a quiet time might be worth asking for a pitch away from the bunkhouse and wigwams - however don't think this was a major problem - so don't worry about it - fantastic weekend - wanted to go again but fully booked so shows how popular this site is! Very good value for money as well.

Had 4 nights here at the end of our honeymoon and despite the very strong wind had a wonderful time. Lovely location, spotless clean toilets with showers and also a bath if you prefer.
Booked a pitch with EHU and the pitches are very generous in size. The site is pretty open to the elements but thankfully our Nevada L tent stood upto the worst of the wind without a problem.
Took a walk into the nearby Seahouses and returned to the site along the beach and up another country lane.
Planning to go back and take the bikes the next time.

This is the second time we have visited Springhill and it is a great site.
Located only a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk from seahouses centre and beach on a well run farm this is a great place to stay with a family.
The separate tent field is fairly flat and free of debris. The views are spectacular of the coast and Bamburgh castle. The showers etc are clean and well managed.
One of the best things about this site is that you can hire a firepit and buy logs for it on site.Will definitely stay again.

The directions to this site are excellent and I would recommend following them otherwise you will end up on a single track farm road.
This site is excellent. It is not your bog standard caravan club site and offers different styles of pitches to suit all. The wardens were extremely friendly and helpful. The children's play area is small but more than adequate with a nice field for ball games and kite flying.
The toilet blocks are very clean and spacious and the family bathroom is superb. This offers a full size bath as well as a separate shower.
The views are amazing and the site is well situated for exploring the Northumberland coast. We will definitely be back for another visit.
Seahouses is a nice town with a good bakers and a decent sized Coop supermarket. There are several take aways and the local fish and chips are good. The town is about a mile and a half from the site. The beach between Seahouses and Bamburgh is lovely. There are excellent cycling opportunities with the site being on National Cycle Route 1.

Returned to this site for the second time. Lovely dry and sunny weather but very windy - we thought the tent was going to take off.
The site is exposed but they are developing tree boundaries around the pitches. Non EHU tents have best pitches! Beautiful views and stunning starry night skies.
Playground but no football goal this time. Plenty of space for ball games and kite flying in recreation field, though. Kids loved the lambs in the adjacent fields.
There is a new bunk barn and wigwams - have their separate loos and kitchen. There is a bicycle storage room and a drying room.
We walked down to the wonderful beach and along to Seahouses and then back through town and along the lane to the site. Nice circular route about 5miles altogether perhaps. Co-op closes at 4pm on Sunday but garage is open.
Probably more going on in high-season.

Another fabulous season on this amazing site.
We have had a seasonal pitch for two years now, and we are about to embark on our third.
Everything about this site is perfect. The toilets and showers are spotless, efficient and plentiful, the other facilities: iron and ironing board, drying room, washers and dryers, freezer and microwave are fabulous.
The pitches are flat and very well drained and very widely spaced. So many sites these days have a 'cram-them-in' attitude, but this site is the total opposite.
The site shop is great for basic essentials, information, or a chat with staff. The owners, Julie and Sarah are wonderful people and so friendly and helpful.
The wardens, Mark and Josie are also wonderful people. Helpful, friendly and such good fun to have around. Mark can solve just about any problem you may have.
The locality is fantastic. The beaches here would grace any tropical island, and the harbour is delightful.
Eating out is expensive, the Curry Leaf offers traditional Indian Food at a reasonable price, and the Bamburgh Castle Inn offers fairly good but expensive pub meals.
My only criticism of this site is that it does not open all year round. The second it does, I'm moving in!

Just spent a thoroughly enjoyable 5 nights on this site (3 nights + 2 nights)
The site is very well laid out, well kept, and nicely landscaped. Tourer and tent pitches on grass, with ample EHUs. I was fortunate enough to secure a gravel standing normally used for the seasonal pitches, which helped when leaving the pitch as we had torrential rain most nights.
The site warden and his team were extremely helpful, particularly when we lost mains power. (The van's fault not the site supply)
The site has male/female & family toilet/shower areas which were kept clean (despite the mud) and well supplied. There is also a separate drying room for coats & boots.
This is not a site to use if you want everything on your doorstep. Only limited, essential supplies can be bought on site from the reception e.G. Pot noodles; jam; tins of tuna etc. But with careful planning this is not a problem and Seahouses is only a mile away.
The upside is the view out to sea and of Bamburgh Castle in the distance.
There is a small playground area with facilities for children.
Washing machines and dryers are available (£2 per wash & 20p for 5 mins drying)
The only drawback I found with the site was the grey water disposal. No problem if you have a detachable or separate water container, but impossible to use if like me, you have an on-board container. There is a second disposal point on the exit to the site, but is located up a grassy slope and the very rain sodden ground just meant lots of wheel-spin and a risk of getting the motorhome stuck.
Definitely worth another visit.

Lovely site!
We spent three lovely nights here last week. The site has generously sized pitches so no feeling of being cramped. The toilets were always spotlessly clean with the bonus of having a large family bathroom.
There was a good number of showers and although we were there at a quiet time I can't see them being an inadequate amount at peak times. The needs of guests were carefully thought out with a microwave, freezer, washing machines and dryers all available.
My children enjoyed being nearby the children's play area- a large field for ball games including a picnic area, swings and a climbing frame. Site wardens were friendly and helpful. Loved the fact that firepits were available to hire, we thoroughly enjoyed sitting around it at night and toasting marshmallows.
Seahouses itself is a lovely base to see Northumberland and its beautiful beaches. We visited Alnwick Gardens which provided a great day's entertainment- unfortunately we felt the castle itself was seriously overpriced. Beadnell Bay is beautiful (even on the freezing day we visited it!)
Will def go back and highly recommend this site.

Having read previous reviews decided to camp at this site. Found it an excellent camp site, the best one we have stayed at to date. The tent pitches were in the top field and you could choose where to pitch.
The field is level and has panoramic views of the coastline and Bamburgh castle.The field was flat and dry.The facilities were good also. The toilet and shower block was clean although still 500m from the top field. You could hire a fire pit and buy logs for a nominal fee which we did and enjoyed.
The site itself is only a 5 minute drive from the centre of seahouses. The children's play area was small, well kept and closed at 9.30pm which suited our needs.Only thing that I would improve about this site is the proximity of the toilet and shower block to the top field for tents. Overall and excellent camp site.
