 A real gem of a site. Glad we found this one. Excellent facilities, friendly wardens, good pitches and an excellent old fashioned pub 100yds away.
We stayed with friends who had caravans too. There is a bus outside the site which runs every 15 minutes into Newcastle or the metro is a short drive into town.
It's really good for walkers and bikers with good cycle paths along the coast.
There is a really nice theatre in town with some good shows coming up. We had a nice trip on the north shields ferry to south shields where there is a market on a Saturday. This was our first visit to this site but we will be spending more time here for long weekends.
I would not take young children as its only small and no big space to play. There is a good playground in town though.

What a smashing little site this is, well placed for views of st Mary's island and lighthouse, ,
Doggy friendly pub just off site (delival arms)
On arrival staff were extremely friendly and helpful and told us to walk round and pick our own pitch. Some of the pitches weren't even, but this was easily dealt with and would be better suited for motor homes than tourers, ,
Nice clean warm showers, wash rooms and driers, ,
Site is great for walking to Whitley bay (2 miles) or seaton sluice (1 mile) check these out
All in all a very enjoyable few days and would go back, last thing make sure your dog is on the lead

Our second visit to this C. C. Site. The location cannot be faulted as it overlooks the sea and St. Mary's Lighthouse. The pitches are mainly level and a mixture of grass and hard standing.
The wardens gave a friendly welcome. The toilet facilities are modern and kept spotlessly clean.
There is excellent walking from the site along the coastal path, both North and South. To the South you can walk as far as the River Tyne, along a fairly level path. The bus stops are approx. A 5 minutes walk.
The pub close to the entrance does excellent meals at a reasonable price and has a excellent selection of real ales ( has previously been CAMRA pub of the year).
This is a site that will get a third visit and probably a few more after that.

Loved this site. Usual high CC standards, simply brilliant wardens; spotless washrooms, spacious pitches. I'd score it as 9. 999999/10 and only drops the 0. 0000001 because there is no screening or demarcation of pitches and I couldn't get the pitch I wanted because the site was really busy! I think you can tell, this was not a big deal to us?
We needed to deploy the Milenco Quattro leveling blocks on the rear wheels and sit in the top cups which was very unusual and meant I couldn't drop the rear steadies but this wasn't a major problem. There aren't many pitches on the site that require blocks for a MH though because the pitches have been well planned and constructed.
The Delavel Arms is indeed a nice pub and the real ales were very well kept. (If my memory serves me correctly, it boasts several years as CAMRA Pub of the Year and runner up in 2010).
Absolutely nothing for kids on the site and this detracts a little because there isn't even a grass area for a kick around. But hey ho, beaches are close at hand. The rock pooling in Hartley Bay was brilliant. The hardest shore crabs in the world - well it is Northumbria!
Do yourself a favour - visit this site and love it too.

Brilliant site with one of the best views around. This was the 3rd time we had visited Old Hartley - and it never disappoints!
We walked along the coast to North Shields this time - a good walk but all along the flat so it did not seem as far. I was pleasantly surprised as there was quite a bit to do there - indoor pool, Aquarium, Dolls House Museum and plenty of parks and things for kids - as well as the spotless beach.
If you don't want to walk you can catch a bus not far from the campsite into Whitley Bay and then change buses there into North Shields. We have also caught the bus into Newcastle and had a look around the shops and along the river.
I guarantee you will never be bored if you stay at Old Hartley - just don't tell everyone!

The entry into this site is a little confusing. When you turn off the main road keep to the left. The sign is a bit misleading and the Caravan Club sign can be hidden if cars are parked there.
We received a warm and friendly reception. They sell a few basic items. There is an information room and a small laundry with one washer and one dryer.
The toilet/shower block is clean with lots of hot ater. Our pitch was in a lovely position on the cliffs overlooking the sea and St mary's lighthouse. It is a lovely cliff walk into Whitley Bay.
Be careful of the gravel on the pitch. It is very deep and we got the jockey wheel stuck as it sunk right down. It is quite a sloping site. Some pitches have more slope than others.
It is also windy due to the position on the cliffs. TV, phone and internet reception good.
There is a pub just at the end of the road - The Delaval Arms. Whilst it may not look much from the outside it is one of the best pubs we have come across on our 6 month tour around the UK. The ales are good and cheap and the meals are really good value at 4. 50 for a main. The landlord was really friendly and took the time to talk to us. Very rare these days.
If you are at this site would recommend a visit to this pub.

A site with a slope and a lovely view. Probably one of the best site views we've come across. Take your binoculars!
Pitches have some 'levelling' by being cut into the slope but for some reason some still have in-built slopes needing level blocks!
Good site for a base to visit Newcastle (take the bus from the stop just near the site as cars seem to be banned from Newcastle town centre). I would not bother visiting Blythe as it has no redeeming features other than a Morrisons Supermarket with a large car park.
Good location for some coastal cycling as well, level but mind the walkers.
TV reception good and clear satellite with no obstructions.
Good wardens who were a great help and chatty (would even tow your van off your wet pitch if you asked!). They seemed to go 'above and beyond' the needed level.
Facilities absolutely spotless and snug.
We will be back at some point. Seemed to be more dogs than children when we stayed but not much for the kids to do other than walking and the beach a short walk away at Whitley Bay.

The site with a view.
The wardens are very friendly, toilets and showers spotless although small,good pubs serving great food and drinks cheaply.
Very good public transport to Newcastle and blyth. Stunning cliff top walks from outside of the site. Lots more great features but I am concerned if I tell all I will be not be able to get my usual two trips there this year

This campsite has got lovely views if that's what you are looking for. The toilets are not the best and there was always a horrible smell in them.
I didn't find it a friendly campsite and as we had our 2 children with us it was obvious that the site is not child friendly at all.
There are places to visit but as for the site I will not be returning and would not recommend it to families. If you are retired you will enjoy the peace and tranquillity.

Loved this site. I must admit I was worried by the slope at first but need not have been, each pitch was provided with near level hardstanding and did not cause any problems.
The wardens were friendly and made us feel welcome. The toilet block was small and cramped but clean. The views were breath taking and we enjoyed the walk to Seaton Sluice. Will visit again
