Stayed here for a weekend in the recent July hot weather, we had a tent in the separate 4 tent area tucked away in a corner of the site at the side of the main entrance. It's a really spacious camping area, shaded by trees, allowing your car to be alongside up to a maximum size of 5m x 4m outfit.
The grass area was dry and well drained but very rocky so a few tent pegs got bent - will remember the best pegs for stony ground.
A woodland nature trail and the river run along side the site which was just wonderful for shaded cool areas for dog walking as well as a paddle. But if nature puts heat, water, lots of grass, shade and trees together, the only thing to remember is extra, extra protection against midgy bites if they tend to aim for you. Some of us got heavily targeted, as well as the dogs, so in high season be prepared.
The toilet and shower facilities were kept immaculate and overall the site felt tidy, well landscaped and really well maintained.
There's a little shop in reception and a fish and chip van on Fridays and Mondays. Lovely wardens who gave us a great welcome and couldn't have been more helpful.
Mobile phone reception seemed fine for everyone except O2 network phones - which could be a groan if it was an issue, which it wasn't for us.
Northumberland is a hidden treasure with so much to see and do on the coast, in the country or inside some magnificent country houses - and this site is really well located for so many directions - we can't wait to come back.
We stayed just one night at this site on our way back down from Scotland - and I can hardly wait to go back! This is a lovely and obviously well run site in a wonderful area. I almost always read the members' comments book when I go to a site and everyone seemed as delighted as we were. Interestingly, there were several comments from children who also loved being there. The facilities block is immaculate and the whole site seems well run and cared for.
We will definitely be returning next year but for much longer!
Stayed here for 10 wet days in the June storms, we had a hard standing (no 41) and had no problem with flooding, however, some of the awnings in the grass area nearest the river had some water come into their awnings and they managed to move to a better pitch.
This site is really busy however very peaceful. Caravans are asked to leave by 12. 00 midday and usually there were quite a few caravans ready to come in at that time so the best pitches are taken really early.
There is a mixture of hard standing and grass only and all of the pitches are really large and big enough to take a large awning and a car.
The toilet and shower facilities and kept very clean and even though it was really wet weather there was no evidence in the toilet block of wet or muddy feet marks.
Small reception with lovely wardens who gave us a great welcome and as usual with caravan club sites we were asked to choose our pitch and then tell reception our pitch number.
Wi-Fi reception at our pitch (no 41) was pretty good, we managed to get 'connect 3' and 'T Mobile' also managed no problem with 'orange' for our mobiles.
Loads to see and do in the surrounding area, we went to Alnwick which is a lovely wee town with castle and fabulous gardens, Bamburgh Castle is another great day out, Seahouses, where you can take a boat to the Farne Islands, Holy Isle where you can drive across the causway but must first check the tide timetable,
We also visited Berwick Upon Tweed and Paxton house and had numerous little drives out to some beautiful villages, Etal and Ford are also worth a visit and you can travel on the little railway linking the villages.
I could go on and on about this area and in the 10 days we were there we did not manage half of the stuff we had planned so looks like we will have to go back. I would thoroughly recommend this site and we will of course return.
The only down side (or up side depending on your point of view) is that in the time we were there there were no children to be seen in the site, there are no facilities for children or teenagers and I don't know if this keeps them away from this site or perhaps the school holidays have yet to start!
Site - I love this site, easy to get to, but a bit out of the way. Lovely area, flat, hardstanding and grass, separated into decent size areas off main circular drive, Lots of shrubs and trees, but not overshadowing. The grass areas you have to drive across to access some of the hardstandings can be boggy after rain so take care. Whooppee WIFI only the second site in 6 weeks, mainly in Scotland and Orkney, the other was Morvich, understand CC are having trouble with their supplier. TV on cable. Digital and analogue (due to be turned off Sept 2012). Choc a block middle of May in fact one van couldn't find a pitch until it was discovered a motorhome had forgotten to take his pitch marker with him when he left.
Also good if you like aircraft as they often overfly on their way to Otterburn ranges.
Wardens - very friendly and helpful, sell wonderful local icecream, at a much cheaper price than at Alnwick Gardens.
Dog Walk - great on site, and can go on nature area, river runs through great for a paddle or swim. Wonderful place.
Washroom - Newish Wooden barn-like building, immaculate lots of showers etc. Decent size showers but fixed head so have to lean in to wall to get head under and temperature tends to fluctuate.
This was our second visit to this site and it was just as well maintained and clean, and the wardens just as friendly, as I remembered from the first time.
Powburn village is about a mile away and has a pub and a petrol station which sells lots of essentials, including a good selection of ready meals, wine, sweets etc.
There are some bird hides fairly close to the site. For those who prefer more strenuous pursuits there are of course relatively straightforward walks in the Cheviots and some good level cycling particularly around the local villages and the Ingram National Park Centre.
Stayed here when the weather was brilliant so that brightens everything up, , but this site was spot on, couldn't fault it. Lovely grounds, river, walk bird hides, playing field (should be very good for children) showers etc, top notch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had our little dog with us so we do like to walk and this place didn't disappoint, , turn right out the main gate and there are two lakes you can walk around or carry straight on to river. Over other side is the Northumberland national park, beautiful, or if you take the car you can walk up to Linhope Spout waterfall, well worth a look.
We booked in advance on CC website. When we arrived sign showing reception had closed early and any arrivals to find a pitch and settle up in morning. Site was near full and only 2 pitches - lucky for us we didn't arrive 15 mins later as 3 motorhomes turned away as no pitches left.
When we paid in morning wardens advised the had cancelled our booking as closing early at 3pm - can't believe they didn't reserve us a pitch or ring is to let us know.
Agree with all previous comments re great facility block. Lovely walks ion area too
We couldn't stay another night as wardens advised site fully booked - shame as its really lovely.
If you are travelling far would ring and check your booking as a very busy site that doesn't keep pitches for you if you book on CC website.
Excellent site for our first ever trip - hope everywhere is as nice as this!
Well laid out, not overcrowded, easy access to water etc, facilities block excellent, showers piping hot and very clean, loos well maintained, well equipped laundry room.
Fish and chip van calls on Sat eve and seemed popular, although we didn't try it.
Walk down the road to the nature reserve to view the migrating geese (probably the only negative - they were a tad noisy overhead!).
Oh my goodness! I've never been to a Caravan Club site before and what an experience it was. Cor these caravanners have it lush! This is a caravan site but has a small but very nice area for tents near the entrance.
There is easily enough room for 6-8 pitches but the site only allows 4 tents so there is loads of room but make sure you ring ahead. The facilities here are 5 star. Amazing building with laundry, washing up, showers etc.
The showers are designed really well so that you can keep all of your dry gear dry! They're free and really hot. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The site also seems to have its own nature area and I saw a deer in the field next door.
I only stayed one night because was on a cycling tour. The whole region is great though didn't go into Powburn itseld except to the garage which has a good shop.
