 Lovely clean site, just yards from the beach. Facilities were really clean and well maintained. Staff very friendly.
Great on site fish and chip hut (but do please prompt him to stop using polystyrene trays). Great area for exploring.
Beadnell beach about 400 yards away is absolutely stunning with free parking !
As its a Club site its a bit expensive even for members and gets very busy.

Lovely site with very friendly staff. Facilities although dated where immaculately clean.
Just across the road to a fantastic beach.
The site is large but well laid out.
Play area for the kiddies as well as a field for them to play ball games on, brilliant idea.
Staff were amazing, always willing to chat and full of useful advise.
Fish and Chip shop on site, very reasonable priced and freshly cook.
Any problems on this site were unfortunately due to the patrons.
Leaving doggy mess around.
Also failing to do simple things like mop out the showers and filling or emptying a motor home at a tap stand point.
However this only occurred a couple of times, and the culprits were reminded about their responsibilities by fellow campers.
Location is perfect for visiting many local beaches and castles.
We had a fantastic week and would recommend this site.

Back here again!
Our comments would be similar to our last visit:
* Excellent Site staff, always helpful, always keeping facilities and space clean.
* Facilities have been repainted but still show their age. The Mens toilet/shower block was cold when the wind was in the wrong direction.
* Does membership of the Kennel Club come with free C & C Club. There were lots of dogs, some better behaved than others.
* The 20% off meal deal at The Craster Arms is a good offer, especially for the (very big) fish and chips.

Our last trip of the year took us back to Beadnell, this time for 3 nights. As is usual with C & CC Sites, the local staff are excellent, friendly, helpful and approachable. Any issues are usually down to C & CC control.
Its no different in this case. As others have noted, this Site is well, located just across the road from the beach and only ~5 minutes from Beadnell village itself with its 1 shop, 1 café, 2 pubs and bus service.
As it was near the end of season, a lot of pitches were out of action due to water. Other Sites have more hard standing but there seems no inclination to spend the money here.
Similarly, the amenities block is showing its age. It is astonishing that, after all these years, the Club hasn't worked out how showers drain yet.
Our other gripe related to dogs. While owners generally tidied up solid offerings, they didn't seem bothered if their animal relieved itself on pitch markers, walls or posts.
All areas where children would play.

We love this site. Visit for long weekends but better to stay a week. So many places to visit. Beach is only over the road from the site. The dogs love the sea so this site is ideal for anyone who has either dogs or children.
Local village have all requirements however the site also has chippie n burger bar on site. (This can be expensive and we found fish was very small and chips cold).
Treat yourself to short drive to Bamburgh where you can visit and walk around the castle. Note some areas you can't take dogs.
We will return to the site in 2018

Booked to stay here for 7 nights as part of our 2 week holiday, based on its location. So glad we did! In fact after 3 days we asked to stay a further 4 nights. Site is bigger than we thought but at no time did we feel on top of our neighbours. The weather was of course mixed and we had a few days where we had rain for a few hours - but that didn't stop us exploring the fantastic beaches in this area. Beadnell Bay was our favourite. The staff on site were helpful but not intrusive. As everyone else has said - to have the beach just across the road was great, especially for early morning walks with the dog. Everyone we met - whether on the site, out on walks or whilst shopping was extremely friendly. Facilities were clean and although the water in the showers was slow to drain away we didn't feel this was too big a problem. We visited the shop literally 5 minutes walk away from the site - don't be put off by the decor outside, the shop has everything you could need, and more! Although we didn't use the beach cafe on site - we would thoroughly recommend the Seahouses or Craster Kippers if you get a chance to go and buy them. Wonderful!

Been past this site on many occasions and this was our first stay. Can not wait to go back. Fantastic site and very busy. Lots of children and nice to see they where enjoying themselves. Very clean and tidy and the wardens are always around if you need help. Thankyou for the use of disabled shower as I had a bad back and this was a good help. Small shop on site is well stocked and comes in handy. Lovely walks and only over the road from miles of beach. Would love a season pitch as site is very relaxing. Bigger than I thought but very well kept. Thankyou to all the staff for such a brilliant week.

Been here before last year and the place is as the reviews state. Open and wet but lovely in the Sun. The Snack bar is ok but a bit high considering the location and captured public.
The toilets could do with an upgrade allowing for the amount of people using the site.
Seahouses are the nearest town and has most things include a bank

Very helpful and friendly staff - even refunded me some money because we arrived on bikes and they have a backpacker rate (which either wasn't clear or I hadn't spotted when booking online)!
Facilities were nice, very clean, showers didn't stand out as a problem as noted in other reviews.
I was cold, but that has everything to do with the site being on the Northumbrian coast which is notoriously chilly (and my sleeping mat and bag) and not something to put you off going to the site itself.
A good stop off point for the NCN Coast and Castles route.

Super location, but badly needs to have a toilet block in each field. Its not great having to walk from the far side in the rain and wind. Be nice to see people sitting outside, rather than sitting in watching their Televisions. All in all, not the most friendly site we have stayed at, example being not much chatting in the washing up room.

Been to this well managed site before. The facilities are good. They have still not made the floor in the showers to flow in the direction of the drains. Do not put anything on the foor it will get wet. Showers very small area. But they it's been like that for years.
They have a on site snack bar now. Run by Craster arms pub. Which is also dog friendly.
Beach just across road. Shop across road. Some good prices.
Took advantage of oap rates. £16 a night.

Nicely located site on the edge of Beadnell, plenty of space for pitches, well kept. We booked on the same evening as we arrived, friendly reception from staff, who showed us direct to pitch. Located just across from the sea and a 5 minute walk from the village beach and pubs. Had a good meal in the Craster Arms.
Facilities are not new but kept very clean.

An excellent site located just over the road from a lovely beach.
The village of Beadnell has a couple of good pubs and a nice chippy.
A mile or do away is Seahouses - a larger village which is worth visiting.
Facilities well maintained but a little dated.

We stopped here for a long weekend being unable to book a pitch with E H you at Dunstan Hill, having sworn 36 yrs ago never to return due to the site being extremely exposed ( we dropped our tent in the early hours) reviews on here saying the same plus commenting on the cubicle size in the toilets & showers didn't help but we carried on. The only comment I will agree with is that water does pool on the shower cubicle floor - a simple fix - take a non slip shower mat. 2 of the Gents toilets were wider than the others -I'm a 46 chest & had no problem in these, 2 of the Gents showers were narrower than the rest due to supports - the others were wide enough but could do with being longer to prevent water pooling - the floor appears to be very uneven. There's an on site mini bistro doing breakfasts & evening meals reasonably priced for full English b/fast or fish & chips/ steak pie & chips in the evening. Superb friendly staff & superb location mean that we will more than likely spend our summer hols here next year. The beach opposite is rocky but sandier nearer to Seahouses and also beyond Beadnell itself. There is a hedge to the west of the site which once mature will give some good shelter, we pitched alongside a low stone wall enjoying 2 days of sunshine before a rainy night. I must add that the front fields we pitched in 36 yrs ago are no longer used apart from allowing incoming units to wait off the road - which was quiet despite its proximity. Give it a try!

Just spent a weekend at this campsite. First time camping in many years and had such a positive and encouraging experience, I can't wait to go again. The site was well organised, clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
You can arrive from 1pm but we got there a but earlier and could park in the car park and have a walk over to the beach which is right across the road. (They kindly let us into the toilets too!) The check in process was simple and not a long wait. We were taken by a campsite assistant over to a few pitches which were available and were given the option to choose which we wanted. The assistant was really helpful in explaining which way was best to pitch the tent in the high winds. He also came back later to check we were ok. The pitches are well spaced with caravans and tents mixed into together (though there looked to be some hard standing pitches for caravans/motor homes too).
Having read the reviews I was concerned about the possible distance to the toilet but it was less than 100m from our pitch. The furthest pitches could only have been 200m away. At night the electricity hookup points and water stations are lit up and this was great for night time toilet trips! The female toilets (at least 8?) and showers (6) were kept clean and tidy at all times. They are closed for cleaning from 1045-12 but during this time you can acces the disabled toilet (normally only accessible with a radar key). No problems with the showers not draining properly as per past reviews. But this could be because they have added an outside shower for cleaning wetsuits and sandy things and discourage you using the indoor showers for that as the sand blocks the drains. Oh the hairdryer in the toilets was the only disappointment and I ended up using the hand dryers instead!
There are indoor and outdoor washing up facilities and rubbish disposal points. It's a shame they don't have any recycling facilities. And also for tent campers without electric hookup it would have been great if they had a communal fridge which could be used. But that's me just being especially picky. There is a large kids play area with wooden climbing structures. Because there is a road through the site, lots of children were out on bikes and scooters. But this wasn't disruptive or noisy (and great to see kids out playing rather than on tablets and phones!)
I had good signal and 3G with a BT mobile but my friend with TESCO had nothing, so beware of that.
It is a very windy site and so you need to make sure you have steel tent pegs and leg in all your guy lines. We ended up buying a windbreak which is definitely worthwhile on this site.
There is a small shop on site which sells camping essentials as well as dry and fresh food items. It's ipen 830-1030 and 1-6. There is a burger van on site open in the morning and again in the evening. The local fish and chip shop is a 3 minute walk down the road. Its a perfect spot for walking into Beadnell Bay (about 1 miles) which has a large sandy beach. Or you can walk along the beach (rocky in places) to Seahouses which takes about an hour and a quarter. Or take a drive up to bamburgh which has the most incredible sand dunes and beaches.
The barrier to the site is closed from 11pm to 6 or 7am. But you can always park your car in the car park just the other side of the barrier until the morning.
There are always staff around in clearly marked uniforms (in the office, out watering plants, cutting grass or checking the toilets!) if you need help. And there is always someone on duty assistant. We found them so helpful and didn't make us feel at all stupid for all our questions as new campers. This camping experience has given me the confidence to go camping alone now. So thank you so much!
