What a surprising little gem of a site! I booked for an overnight stay with my 3 children to make the most of a trip to Alnwick Garden. The fact it was at a rugby club worried me a little but I decided to try it. I booked via email through ukcampsite and the responses were helpful and friendly. We were told to pitch up anytime after 10am along the top perimeter of the field (we asked for no EHU).
The site was easy to find. The toilets are located in the rugby club main building, the door for the toilets was open 24-7. There is a small play park there but we did not use it. We chose to pitch in the top corner so the toilets were a bit of a hike, however we took our own camping toilet so did not need to use them.
There were a few caravans pitched near the rugby pitch and a couple more tents further along from us. It was so peaceful and quiet! We could make out noise from a building site nearby the next morning but only just, it did not bother us.
We paid £12. 50 for the night, which I felt was excellent value for money. The site is well located for trips into Alnwick. We visited the castle and Garden.
We will definitely return in the future.

A great find! Close to town, supermarkets, A1. Great facilities, really clean. Didn’t hear the A1 from inside the van.
A previous reviewer mentioned noise, but there are not big signs requesting quiet after 10pm. Another reviewer mentioned communal facilities, The ladies had a communal changing area but the showers were individual cubicles. Altogether great value at only £10.
Only thing missing was a dishwashing area, but we knew that from the information here.

I stayed here for one single night at the end of August, as part of a five day motorcycle tour. I was en-route to Edinburgh and this location was spot on. It only cost £5. 00 for the night and was only a minute away from the A1.
There's a large Sainsbury's supermarket within walking distance and the clubhouse has very nice showers etc.
Will certainly stay here again if the place and route suits again.

Stayed 2 nights here. Fabulous location 20 mins walk from Alnwick town centre. Super clean facilities.
Friendly helpful staff who made us very welcome in the rugby clubhouse. Definitely would stay again.

We booked this site as every other site in Northumberland was booked up for bank holiday. It would not be our usual choice of site and we are used to more peaceful, rural locations.
The good things about the site include the cost - at £10 a night it was very reasonable, close to the A1 - (easy to find but noisy), friendly and helpful proprietor, clean facilities.
However, there seem to be no site rules and we were kept awake by a massive group of adults who were celebrating a retirement, playing loud music and singing till the early hours two nights running, other people were playing thumping music on their car stereo's. Their dogs were loose and wandering all over and after they left there was dog mess all over the field.
The facilities were clean but we were not expecting communal changing rooms for the showers. On the final day the block was locked and we were unable to go to the loo or wash before leaving. It wasn't our cup of tea but it would be a very handy place for walking into town which was quaint and lively.

Basic field to camp in with the use of the rugby club showers and toilets. The field is great for camping and although basic is perfectly adequate.
Perfect for groups wanting so camp together and open fires are allowed. Will use again. Shame there arent more electric hook ups and some which are only for tents as all the ones there were taken by caravans.
Also shame there is not relationship between the bar and the campsites.

Great stopover site if you are heading North or South on the A1.
Facilities are what would appear to be rugby changing rooms but are spotlessly clean and despite the site being fairly busy we didn't have to queue.
The EHU pitches are located round the edge of the field and are pretty limited but as we were only staying one night it wasn't a problem to do without EHU.
Good location for visiting Alnwick - the town centre is only a 20 minute walk away.
Booking was a bit of a problem as we got no response to the on-line booking form we submitted and tried phoning several times before we eventually got an answer.
At £10 per night however, it was excellent value and we would certainly use this site again, if only as a stopover.

Large field with plentiful room, good facilities, lovely welcome in the club house.
This was a last minute stop, We were booked on the pub site on Alnwick moor shepherds pub, not good the field was a mess, toilet etc could do with a good clean. So we came away, went to the town centre, asked around the tourist information told us to go to the Alnwick Rugby club,
What a great time we had, very friendly and helpful. Thanks. : )

This place is a really great surprise. We booked it last minute as we'd needed to change our plans. I must confess when my wife told me we were staying at the Rugby club, my heart did sink a little.
I will be honest. It's a campsite at a Rugby Club, so it's not going to set your world on fire if you stay for a week. There aren't many electrical hookups and the site is quite open if it's windy.
That said the facilities are literally spotless, my wife loved them. It's brilliant. Alnwick town centre is lovely and is a 20 minute walk from the site. There is a supermarket 5-10 minutes walk away.
It was cheap as chips at £10 a night and it's a 5 min drive from the A1 (but you can't hear it when you're there).
In summary I would be an idiot to suggest that everyone books here for their holiday, it's not suitable for that in my opinion. However I can tell you that anytime I'm off to Scotland in the MoHo we'll be calling in here for a stopover on the way.

Located 1 ½ miles outside Almwick and just of the A1 this site provides an ideal location if you do not mind limited site facilities. The site is situated on the boundary of the old rugby pitch adjoining the adjacent cricket ground on grass. Which is fine in dry weather but would cause problems in wet waterlogged conditions especially with a heavy unit/motorhome.
The club has allocated the overflow changing facilities (male and female) for the site use which were spotlessly clean with two toilets and four showers in each. However no wash up area and only one site water tap. The site has room for 16 EHU’s, which provided ideal at the time of stay but the club also allows rallies which would push the limited site facilities. WiFi is available, but only at the clubhouse which is open from 6. 30.
Almwick is a charming town with local shops, pubs, eateries and of course Almwick Castle and Gardens. A Sainsburys supermarket is located just outside the site entrance and Lidl in the town centre.
At £ 15. 00/night with electric overall ideal for short stay.

Arrived on site where we had booked a return visit to a site we know well, not manned but always made welcome by staff when they come on site. If I had been there for first time I would have turned around and left by the rally that was there as they where unpleasant to us a site does not need a rally like that to spoil what is a great site toilets very good and as I say staff and groundsman all make us welcome,

After a little difficulty getting in touch with the place (the phone number listed here is for the club house and never gets answered, at any time of day; and the website link here is defunct) I managed to contact the very lovely and helpful owner (through the booking enquiry link on this web page).
The toilet / shower block is excellent and clearly very new. The site as a whole lacks charm and, parking on the edge of the rugby pitches, is a little windswept - but the location is fairly convenient for Alnwick town centre (15 minute walk) and there's a co-op pretty close to the club. Didn't try the club house as preferred to check the real ale on tap in town. Didn't see a dish wash area. £15 a night including hook up for the two of us; pretty good value.

Stayed at this site October 2013. It is a well equipped site. Toilets and showers newly refurbed. Very pleasant people and were made to feel real welcome. We will be looking forward to revisiting the site again next year. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a few days away, loads to do and see. The pubs in the town centre are nice friendly places and even a late opening night club type place for the younger ones. Shops are very close by also and easy to get to

We have been here before some 5 or 6 years ago and I liked it then. Returning now we can see there have been some improvements made. The club has built an extension with new showers and toilet facilities.
We arrived late on the Friday evening (9pm)and pitched on the bottom ground to the rear of the goal posts. Ground is nice and flat and great for tents. We had good view over the pitch towards the clubhouse. Someone came by on the Saturday afternoon to collect our money. £20 for two nights for 2 adults which I didn't think was bad at all.
We went into the clubhouse on both evenings for a few drinks and were made to feel right at home by everyone there. It was a lovely atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced too.
The facilities at the club are brilliant. Super clean and all brand new with hot showers and plenty of room for changing.
We saw quite a few people having a bar-b-q and I think as long as it is raised from the grass then this is ok.
You can hear some road noise from the A1 but after a while you don't notice this so I wouldn't say this was a negative for us. It didn't keep me awake so I was happy.
There is a Co-op just up the road from the site which might take you ten minutes walk if that and there is lots of choice there.
Alnwick is about fifteen/twenty minutes walk from the site. Plenty to do and see around there and lots of pubs and nice places to eat. We spent most of our day at Amble fishing from the peer and then on the Sunday we went to the market at Amble. We drove to Amble and this took about fifteen minutes but Warkworth and Alnmouth are closer and just as lovely.
Overall a great weekend and two nights stay. Very comfy, good washing facilities, friendly staff and people at the club. A very homely feel and we will definitely come back soon.
Thanks again - Lisa & Richard from Harrogate.
