 We stayed here the 1st May bank holiday weekend with our three year old daughter.
First the negatives:
We booked in advance and were told the pitch number allocated to us for our 3 night stay. However, when we arrived we found a caravan sited on the pitch that looked like it had been there for a few days already and was showing no signs of being moved (the occupants were out or we would have asked them). After a frustrating 1 1/2 hours of trying to get hold of the site owners / managers (not on site, no landline number and the mobile number went straight to voicemail) we were told to pitch up on a different pitch opposite several scruffy old fishing boats (obviously I was not happy with the view so asked for a different pitch which we got - much better)
Also, you would think staying on a site on a farm would be quiet and peaceful, not here! At 1am we (and most of the rest of the site) were woken by the tractor / JCB being driven around and around the field next to the camping field, and being revved loudly for a substantial length of time (for no apparent reason). Needless to say, the next morning there were a lot of angry, negative comments from the sleepy campers and caravaners I spoke to.
The positives:
The facilities here have been considerately thought out, with a family bathroom and bath, making it ideal for families with small children. However, I don't think that the five showers in total (male, female & family) would be enough if the site was at full capacity, but that's just my opinion as I don't like to queue for too long.
A nice little play area for the children has been provided too.
Also, the position of this site makes it ideal for visiting the stunning beaches nearby. Only 1 mile to seahouses (easy walk or cycle on a flat cycle track) and 3 miles to Bamburgh.
For our next visit up to Bamburgh / Seahouses we will be looking elsewhere to stay due to our bad experiences, however, the location of this site means we probably will be back.

Had 5 nights here in great weather
Didn't feel exposed as not too windy but can imagine it could be a bit breezy with an easterly wind!
Facilities good with a nice family bathroom & clean toilets.
Shop only open briefly on a morning & didn't sell a lot.
Reasonable childrens play area for my under 4yo.
Seahouses walkable, although Sunday night when its raining you did wish they had a few taxis !
Great views over to Farnes & Bamburgh - watched boats crossing during the day - if you fancy it check where they go as some trips you have to pay extra to go on certain islands & they are not very safe for children & babies.
Had no complaints about the site & will definitely go again next year

Spent a week up on this campsite over August Bank Holiday. We were in a group of three large tents in the overspill field. There was enough room around and the campsite didn't get too full. A relatively new looking campsite with good facilities already mentioned. The wind did get up and it seemed to be when the tide turns. Views are fantastic especially at night as the sun sets and Bamburgh Castle is lit up. This campsite is ideally located for travelling around and Seahouses has the best to offer in shops and pubs. A walk into Seahouses takes 25 mins, you go out of the campsite by the cottages turn right and walk down the lane until the junction. Cross the road and go through the gate and keep walking down the path. It brings you out in the main car park. The Ship Inn has lovely views across the harbour.
We visited Bamburgh by walking along the beach and back. The Castle Hotel has a superb beer garden and is child friendly and the food is excellent value. Most of the pubs around do not allow dogs inside.
Farne Island trip to see the Seals was good we went with Billy Schiels boat excursions. They will take dogs on the boats but they can't go onto the Islands. A lovely area with friendly people we will go back.

Stayed at campsite for 4 days. Pleasant stay, campsite very exposed to the elements. If you stay here and don't need elecrical hookup you might want to stay in the overspill area, its away from the childrens play area and quieter.
Facilities ok although a little overcrowded at peak times, early showers a must. Well positioned for trips to beach bamburagh, seahouses. I would use site again, very basic site but practical. One downfall. I tried ringing the site on their landline on several seperate times and never got through once.

A new site with great views including the Farne Islands.
Good points:
Views, a family wash room including a bath for young children, main site area well spaced, free to use microwave and open access freezer for cool blocks.
Downsides:
The shop was very basic and only opened briefly each day - Times were not posted to show opening hours and staff appeared to be rarely on site.
Overflow tent field on the bank holiday week end was very busy and led to facilities struggling to cope - Rubbish bins, toilets, hot water etc. Facilities would have been OK if main site area had been the limit and extra pitches had not been added without extra amenities.
The site was also very windy and exposed, well pitched quality tents were OK, but cheaper options struggled.
We paid £16 per night for a family tent with no electricity - We thought that this was a bit steep, but were happy to pay it when we booked - From the sites website it seems that they intend charging £20 per night next year!
We will not be returning - Which is a shame as the site has lots of potential.

Had a lovely stay here for 2 nights in August. Great views if you are in some of the pitches eg no 19.
Fun wooden play area for children with plenty of space to run around.
Toilet blocks ok, plenty of hot water, plus point was family bathroom.
Kitchen area had a microwave and freezer for campers to use.
Was difficult to book as it appears the office is only manned 9-10.30 and no answer machine. When you arrive there is a mobile phone number posted to check availability.
Bamburgh only 2 miles,easy cycle to the pub through quiet country lane.

We stayed two nights here on a non-powered pitch in the overspill area. The site felt spacious and we had plenty of room around us. The shower block was clean and didn't seem particularly busy, although the site wasn't full. The showers had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The ladies and gents both have two toilets and two showers. There is a shop in the reception area (open when reception is open) which sells basics including milk and bread, and also seemed to have a reasonable range of other stuff. There was a small children's play area with wooden swings and a climbing frame / slide. There were several families on the site and the children seemed to have enough space to run around and play without disturbing others.
We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to go back. The site is relatively exposed but our tent coped with the conditions (I'd recommend pitching your tent "properly" though), it's a great place for kite flying, and the views of the coast and Bambrough castle are lovely. There seem to be lots of new trees planted which will provide more shelter in the future.

We visited this site over the B/Hol at end of May. As previous review says nice and level with a good layout,the views are good over to the beach and castle.
The owners are still working on the play area,but children were using this.
The toilet and showers were in a large barn and were clean and spacious plenty of lovely hot water,and in the ladies there was also free use of a hair dryer. The washing up and laundry facilities were good and there was also use of microwave and freezer.
Unfortunately while there the weather was very wet and windy and you do feel exposed. There is plenty to do in the area with both the Farne and Holy island near by, also Anwick is a lovely town with a castle and beautiful gardens, not forgetting Barter bookshop for a browse and coffee with cookie!

We visited this site as a family of 4 over the May Bank Holiday using a large tent.
The site is level and well laid out with lovely views over the sea and to Bamburgh castle. Pitches are large. There is no play area at present although it looks like they are building one. Seahouses is a short drive away but too far to walk with shopping etc.
The toilets, showers and washing up facilities are in a large barn. Facilities are clean and spacious and there is a hair dryer which is free to use in the ladies and a microwave in the washing up area which is thoughtful. Showers are nice and hot.
Only downside is that the concrete floor gets rather wet and grubby in the showers, an old towel or bathmat would be helpful.
Now the downside; My God was it Windy! There is no shelter what so ever on this site and we feared for our tent through the night! Only one broken pole section though and we lived to tell the tale.

Well laid out, spacious pitches, easy access to hook-up points.
Toilet & shower facilities excellent although we heard criticisms of the cleanliness later in the day - to be expected on a busy bank holiday we felt! The Chemical Disposal Point was well thought-out and stayed remarkably clean & smell free over the long weekend.The showers were powerful & there was plenty of hot water available when we used them.The free hair dryer was a welcome addition.
Laundry & washing up facilities were more than adequate & the dryer very reasonably priced. There was a large rack on the wall containing loads of information on the local attractions which we found very useful.
The atmosphere on site was very friendly, mostly families & no rowdy parties at night.
The few dogs we saw were under control & there was no sign of any mess left around (you know the sort I mean!)
The views from the site were stunning, you could see for miles along to Bamburgh castle which was illuminated at night & out to the Farne Islands.
The beach was within easy reach for most people on foot & was very clean with no visible litter.
Seahouses was very busy over the weekend, plenty of shops selling just about anything you'd need for a short stay including kites & buckets & spades.
We did the Farne Islands boat trip aboard the 'St Cuthbert 3'. At £9 per adult it was excellent value for money. We were aboard for an hour and a half and toured the inner & outer Farnes with good commentary from the skipper. The sea was a bit rough due to the wind & changing tide but we saw lots of sea birds & seals from very close range, the boat often turning round to give us a better view. Be warned, take waterproofs & expect to get wet! It's well worth it though.
We plan to return to this site again next Easter & do a longer boat trip to see the puffins nesting. Can't wait!
