 My partner and I have just had a wonderful couple of nights here, the warden and his wife are very helpful and friendly and the site is spotless,
It's only a mile away from Bamburgh
One thing to do when there, turn left out of the main entrance and travel about 1/2 a mile, you will pass a quarry on your left keep going until you come to a right hand bend, you will see a path on the left, go up the path in the direction you have just traveled and take in the beautiful view looking over Bamburgh, Holy island, it's a must

We have just returned from a bank holiday weekend and had a great time. We received a very warm welcome by the warden who was very helpful and personally took us to our pitch to help with the caravan. The toilet block and showers have been rebuilt and are very modern, clean and warm. All pitches are now hard standing and have electric hook up and water. The added bonus of a skate park for the older children is great and there is a play park too. The shop is ok not the biggest I've seen on campsites but Bamburgh is only one mile away. There is also an excellent garage and restaurant/bar at the top of the main A1 road which we enjoyed a very reasonably priced Sunday roast. I would recommend this site

Wasnt sure what to expect going off other reviews. On the whole, a nicely situated campsite, we were pitched with good views of the castle and a sea glimpse. As others have said, lots of seasonal vans on here and sometimes you felt 'out of it' but most people were friendly and the kids had no problems playing with others etc.
The downside is the toilets, old, dark, not particularly clean, showers not up to much at all, having needed the loo at 4am on 2 mornings, was very very disappointed to find the lights switched off, it was pitch black and no way could you use them without a torch. There were 2 showers by the main reception which were a little lighter and much hotter than those in the main block. The pitch size was more than adequate and we didn't find them too close together. The shop was open 2 hours a day selling very basic provisions. The playground was fine, handy football field and a nice new skate park, albeit a bit small.
The laundry was ok, but don't bother trying to use it in the morning as the seasonal residents do and one lady in particular was quite rude to another for holding her up from using the drier while I was there, I found 8pm ish the best time to use it.
It's worth noting that where the current tourers are situated, I believe is going to be replaced with statics and there are new hardstanding pitches just been built at the top end of the site, with no views of the castle, but views of the hills etc. There is also a brand new toilet block just being completed when we were there with security code entrance and I believe the present main toilet block is being knocked down, so, maybe next year this site will be well worth going to again as really it was the toilet and shower facilities that let it down.

Toilets and showers really need some work done, have used this site on and off for a few years and its starting to look shabby. Children struggled a little to make friends with some of the static touring children trying to stop them playing on the playparks, man in reception didn't do a great deal. This site is not as good as it was. Don't think I will be back
It is in a great location and some stunning views around the area and some nice tourist places to go to. Try the honey at Chainbridge Honey Farm, the cafe in the bus is great as well.

This is not a bad site overall. Split between statics, seasonal pitches and the rest of us. The main toilet block is clean and lots of hot water, just needs updating. Could do with some more lighting inside however as the kids were not too impressed by the shadows.
Location is good and there are some pitches that would have a great view of Bamburgh Castle, all be it over the top of all the statics. Bamburgh is only a mile away and bude bay a mile in the other direction.
Now it is my opinion that this site wil not suit all tastes. Pitches are close together and there seems to be very few occasional pitches. Most seemed to be seasonal and used by groups of families that know each other well. Friendly enough but your kids may take some time to acclimatise to the groups of kids that clearly know each other well, and wander the site most of the day.
However if you want to make friends then I'm sure you would be welcomed. I would also note that given all the kids they were well behaved on the whole and were not allowed to carry on into the night and by about 9. 30pm all was quiet.
Facilities - small play area for the little ones next to the toilet block and a small football pitch. Shop only open for 2hrs a day and didn't seem to stock much other than ice creams and sweets.

We were very pleased with our visit, a very well kept site, great play areas for the kids, generous pitches short drive to Bamborough & Budle Bay: fantastic beaches, only minor issues: found the shower small when trying to shower the kids, shop had limited stock but there are shops/bank and petrol station a short drive to Seahouses, another great place to visit. Would definitely recommend this site and visit again.

The site is close to Bamburgh and holy island, and within driving distance of the Cheviot hills. Fairly tidy site. However, there were a few things that took the edge off my stay here.
1. The pitches are arranged in long rows, making people constantly cross your pitch with waste water / chemical waste heading for the disposal point as there is no short route avoiding pitches.
2. The pitches are quite crowded and not quite big enough.
3. The toilet / shower blocks are austere and in need of updating. They're also dark and dingy and not especially clean.
4. Bins / recycling points seemed to be over-full.
5. There is a shop, but its opening hours are fairly limited and inconvenient - only one hour per day at the weekends!
For the price that is charged here, I'd expect a better pitch and more modern facilities.

It has always been a great site and has been taken over as you may know. All the drainage has been improved since last year. The grass was so much better. It may be a case of `watch this space` and the toilets and showers may be improved as the next thing. They were clean and plentiful but definitely very old and do not fit in with the rest of the site.
The 2 parks are very good for young and old kids and bikes are popular on site too. There is also a games field so I hope this new ownership doesn't mean these will disappear to make way for clubs or more statics.
Location great for Bamburgh sand dunes, castle etc, Seahouses harbour, amusements and the Aladdins cave shop there! (Farne Gift Shop) It sells great art stuff,has a £1 section as well as toys and souvenirs.

Really Excellent Site. Facilities are good- a handy dog walk/nature trail with plenty of bins, space for the kids to play, clean and plentiful loos and showers with lots of hot water. The site shop is limited but covers the basics, the owners are friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful- a short cycle into Bamburgh and beyond. A great place for a relaxing break.

I stayed here for a couple of nights. I found the toilet facilities and showers adequate, although I would have expected a bit more luxury for the price charged, having said that the pitches were level and of reasonable size and the electric hookups were close by.
The ladies and the gent who run the site were helpful enough and were willing to give advice on the surrounding area. It is good cycling country in this part of Northumbria, fairly level and with some splendid sea and countryside views. The nearest supermarket seems to be in Seahouses, it's well worth a visit there just to see the pretty little harbour and of course Bamburgh Castle is only about a mile away from the site and the nearby beaches are a paradise for children. But if you go there take a windbreak!
