 Just returned from this site went on a super pitch this gives you loads of room with water and electric. Touring reception not open did not see a warden although security came round.
Nice site but toilets not cleaned very often showers good and as previous review now shower curtains fitted, although it seemed parents let there kids play in them.
Another down side is that kids play area is through the bar. Needs one in normal area and it may prevent playing in toilets.
The swimming pool is great but showers hot and no control to turn them down. Prices expensive on site, would possible go back but not in school holidays and tell them not to cut the grass near the awning as now my awning bedroom is covered in grass stains

We stayed here during the May bank holiday weekend. Getting to the site couldn't be easier it is signposted straight off the A1 just before you get to Berwick on Tweed.
There is a small hut where you collect your documents next to one of the toilet block. Booking in was straight forward and the staff seemed pleasant enough.
The park was clean and level with the majority of pitches being hard standing. There are 2 toilet blocks which were clean and warm, and 1 main water and waste point, although you can collect water from any of the unused super pitches, of which there were many.
The park is set in a forested area and is about 500 yards through the static caravan site to the main entertainment complex, which is typical haven, the staff were sickly sweet with the kids and the entertainment was plentiful.
Just away from the entertainment area is a stables which you can go for short ride on horses, they looked well set up and also had some shetland ponies there so the little ones could have a go, the minimum age is 3. I'm not sure if this is one of the haven attractions, as it is on the map but not promoted anywhere.
Additionally just up from the stables is a small establishment which does mug painting, there are als bouncy castles outside and a paint ball target practice area, a bit of a strange mix of attractions but I'm sure they're good at taking your money off you.
Beer & food prices were average to slightly expensive. Your nearest option out of the park was Berwick which is about 7 mile away, but we stayed clear, being bank holiday weekend it tends to get very congested.
All in all a good site with amenities close by. I would recommend for families with small kids.

We stayed here for three days from the 20th of May in our folding camper with awning. We had a large site with electric and water. The drain on our site was not in use so I made use of the one next door.
The facilities were good at most of my visits but they should clean them more often as there were lots of touring caravans and some people leave the toilets and dish wash areas in poor condition.
We were the only camper/trailer tent. The shop was well stocked, ok for basic requirements but pricey.
There are lots of things to do for families and some pleasant walks around the lakes. Lots of ducks for kids to see and feed. Too much to list so look at their website.
The main room had good entertainment but was packed, hard to find a table and long queue for bar. About 10 minutes to get served, Friday night. Can't be good at bank holidays.
The other room was nice and quiet with plenty of tables. The swimming pool area was very good. Lots of nice places to visit within easy reach of the campsite, see their website. We only paid £38 for 3 days. 5 adults and 2 little children.

After reading some of the reviews I was apprehensive to say the least about this site! We booked 6 nights over Easter for a fab price on an all service pitch.
The all service pitches were fine, they were concrete and water some had waste, they were spaced out more than the smaller pitches and it was pleasant.
The showers/toilets were dirty at times but that was due to the dirty people who left them in that state! The site couldn't keep up with cleaning them, they were fine most of time and the site was full.
This site is a very big busy commercial site so if your looking for peace & quiet don't go here! If however, you have children to entertain then its perfect.
The pool complex is the best I have seen on any Haven site and very clean. The outdoor decking area is also pleasant and the sites facilities were good.
The only gripe I would say is the main clubhouse is small for the size of site, people go in there at 5pm to get seats! The pub area is huge and quieter with the usual TVs and pub grub / leather chairs.
The kids playground is also very good. My children went horseriding on site it was good value at £15 for 2hours they got a photo with that and really enjoyed it.
The area is stunning the beach at Spittal is lovely with free parking and a play area on the prom. Berwick is a typial town with shops, we did the castle wall walk around the harbour which was nice. Holy Island and Lindesfarne is closeby and worth a visit and we did Hogwarts Alnwick Castle complete with Hagrid and the characters from Harry Potter (loved it!)
We were pleasantly surprised with this area, it is quiet in comparison to Devon/Cornwall the traffic is great, parking is either free of very cheap for the day, the coastline is stunning and as good as Devon.
We would definitely visit this area again and would come back to this site due to the facilities. We were lucky with the weather as the sun shone the whole time but beware of the east breeze its cooler on this coast than other places so take your fleeces!
There is also a huge outdoor shop a couple of miles away that sells caravan stuff/camping etc and gas and Tescos/Asda close at Berwick which is approx 4 miles away, the shop on site sells everything and not bad prices.
I would recommend this site for its pool facilities, don't expect the touring area to be 5star as it isnt but it was excellent value for money and we loved it.

We visited Haggerston Castle for 5 nights starting on April the 8th April. My mum and dad met us in their motorhome and were to camp for 3 nights. They lasted one,and decamped to nearest club site. We felt we had to stick it out for the kids.
My gripe was the toilets and showers. I have never seen such toilets at a campsite in 12 years of camping. They had done some refurbishment over the winter season, which seemed to have involved putting in showers that sprayed water out horizontally rather than vertically. They had no shower curtain, seat or hooks so the moment you put the shower on everything got wet. I could have forgiven this, but every time I tried to have a shower they were cold. There was a sign saying that due to high demand it took about 5 mins to heat up. Nonsense - it didn't heat up at all! The toilets were even worse. They were slightly better for about 5 mins every 48 hours, when they were cleaned. There was rarely any toilet roll, and numerous toilets that you just couldn't go in. When I complained I was told that the problem was that they had a male and female cleaner, and therefore only on the day the correct sex cleaner was in could the toilets be cleaned. After we complained it got slightly better for a day, then by the end of 5 days it was worse than ever.
The sad thing is, that the actual swimming pool, changing room and showers were the best I have ever come across. The building, restaurants and bar were pleasant ( in a kid friendly way), although yet again the toilets in the complex were very poor - again no toilet roll in most cubicles and toilets that looked like they had never seen a brush. If only they could apply the high standards of the pool to the toilets and touring facilities.
The area is lovely, and we especially enjoyed an afternoon out to the Honey farm up near Coldstream. Also had great meal at the Lindesfarne inn, which you can walk to from the site. In summary, it is probably fine if you are in a mobile home, but I wouldn't go there if you are touring.

Just got back from this site. I was a little disappointed with the touring area, many of the service pitches have no drains (they are doing away with them )they were small and close together. The dog walk has gone to make way for a new static van area.
There has been a lot of reburbishment in the entertainments area which is beautiful and there's plenty of things to keep the kids amused. Very well stocked Spar on site.
As said, although we were disappointed with touring area, it did not spoil our week. There's so much to see like visiting Holy Island, Farne Islands (this is a must ) Barnburgh Castle ect and would do it again.

We stayed here for a couple of days with two kids. The price of staying here was very reasonable there is plenty to do on the site.
The hard standing pitches were quite small and the surrounding areas extremely wet which I think is due to poor / no drainage and could be improved especially as the location caters for families / kids.
Toilets and showers very clean with plenty of hot water.

Just got back from a week here. We were on a super pitch against the dog walk. Our pitch was plenty big enough for the caravan and awning with the car at the front.
Some of the basic pitches did look very close together and cramped, But we always stay on super pitches at a Haven park to get a decent sized one. Didnt use the toilets as we use our own so cannot comment on them.
The site itself is really lovely the entertainment is good most nights, although it was very busy. There is a chinese restaurant on site which does a buffet this was very good and lots of choice. In the area there is Conundrum Farm about 5 miles away, more suited to younger children.
A good day out with different aged kids was a trip to East Links Family park at Dunbar. Pay one fee to go in but there was plenty to do all day and lots of picnic benches to take your own lunch. Some good little beach coves in the area too.
We will visit this site again maybe next year, but would recommend anyone booking to book a super pitch if you don't want to be too cramped.

This was our second visit of the year I find the touring area so much quieter midweek than weekends which is often busy and noisy pitches are close together.
There is a code for door at toilet block but sadly they are often left open they are cleaned once a day, when busy this isn't enough
Husband and myself often use this as a base to explore surrounding area which is lovely and haven do very reasonable deals especially midweek

Was at haggerston for the first week in July and I think it was the worst site I have ever visited. When I arrived the reception on the touring site was closed but it had a list of names with allocated pitches on the windows with 2 days allocations, then you had to back up to the main building to get the welcome pack with toilet codes.
The pitches were far too small with my van and awning there was around 10 ' of space between my car and the van next to me. They were cutting trees down the whole week in the middle of the site and kids were throwing the branches through the toilet skylights.
The toilets were filthy and dated and were occasionally blocked. Pitches very uneven and large type chippings cover the awning area. We had a dog and obeyed the dog rules but other owners didn't one owner a few pitches up thought it would be a great idea to throw their dogs ball up and down the grass area behind the pitches which drove the other dogs mad.
The opinion I got was that Haven had found this area and decided to put tourers in it and forget about them, would be nice to have the kind of standards the static areas had. The entertainment was ok but not the usual haven standard but the entertainment is certainly aimed at getting your money. Would not return to this site.
