 Have just returned from 1 night at South Meadows. The site is very well looked after. Large, flat tent field, which was nicely mown with plenty of room for children to play.
The toilets/showers were very clean and we found the separate family shower area useful. Mops/buckets were available and there were signs encouraging people to clean up after themselves.
The toilet block is central to the site which does mean a bit of a walk from the tent field. There were portaloos nearer, but didn't use these so unable to comment on cleanliness. Although there were a lot of caravans on site when we visited there weren't many tents.
At the time of our visit the amount of showers/toilets available was more than adequate, but not sure if this would be the case when site was busy.
There is no shop on site but the Co-op in Belford is approx 1 mile away and open 7am-10pm. There is also a farm shop next door which serves hot food. We did have breakfast there but found it quite expensive (£3.95 for a bacon sandwich, £6.95 for full english breakfast).
The site is in a perfect location for exploring the Northumbrian coast. Very close to the A1 (although could hear slightly at night wasn't in any way intrusive) and approx 10 minutes drive to Bamburgh and Seahouses.
Enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again.

Just spent three nights on our first visit to this park. Very friendly and helpful staff - they even tow your van onto your pitch and level it for you!
Huge open fields for grass pitches, plenty of room for games etc.
Good, clean central toilet and shower block, was the only one, but backed up by single portaloos in the fields (hopefully not a permanent feature?).
Parks staff quad bikes running up and down up to 11pm at night became a bit annoying - electric carts as on other sites we've used would be a good investment and much quieter.
The park is obviously developing and what they have done so far is very good indeed, so will be good to see what else is planned.
The area itself is lovely, especially Seahouses and Bamburgh. Can also recommend the Castle Hotel in Bamburgh as from a previous review. Also from a previous review 'the chip shop in Seahouses is worth a visit' - there are 4, so we hadn't a clue which was the 'good one'. We used the Pinnacle and they were the best fish and chips we've had in a long time!
Last tip - park is just off the A1, but not signposted - we were looking for a sign and drove right past (a sign would be good?). It is actually in Belford itself, so turn off opposite the Belford Industrial Estate ( a grain store, not as bad as it sounds!) and it's a few metres up the road, next to a lovely farm shop.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Only booked this site as Warren Mill, Bamburgh, said they were fully booked for a Fri/Sat night stay but delighted that they were booked, as this is a far better site and one that will be recommended and used again. There is lots of room to pitch tents and with space to breath. The location is great too, as half-mile off of the A1. The staff were fantastic and very friendly and helpful.
The facilities are located in one block, which also houses the reception. The facilities are the cleanest and best I've seen over the last few years and can see why the site is rated 5star.
The only drawback is that the site is crying out for another amenities block in the centre of the touring fields, as it could take easily 15mins to walk to/from the main block if you are pitched at the bottom end of the fields.
We were lucky and nearer the top end but still looking at 5-10mins. Its a shame as there is plenty of room to build a second block and then this site would be amazing. All the same I will book there again.

This is a fantastic site and we'd definitely go back there.
The toilets and showers are kept clean and the family shower rooms were fantastic with 2 young children. There are also showers with baby change, which were great for cleaning the wee ones after a trip to the beach.
We pitched in the large field (no hook-ups) and even although there were quite a lot of other tents, the children could run about and we could keep and eye on them.
There's so much to do in the surrounding area, we spent 2 days at Alnwick Castle, which the children loved and there's lots of pubs which do great food and are child friendly.

This was my first experience of camping. South Meadows was the perfect site as an introduction to camping. The site wasn't overly busy so there was plenty of space.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of showering areas and include large family shower rooms. The other facilities are excellent. The site is very easy to find being just off the A1 but not too close to be audible during the night.
The village is a short walk were there is a co-op and a pub. Great site and hope to visit again.

Just back from this site, which we chose because of the reviews on here. Showers and toilets spotless, good dish washing facilities and good sized pitch. Lovely walk through Bluebell woods, small play area for younger children. Lovely owner and staff.
All quiet on site from about 10.30 pm. Considering how near the A1 the site is the road noise did not bother us. Farm shop and bistro just yards from the entrance (didn't go in so can't comment). The village itself is just a 10-15 min walk away with a well stocked Co-Op.
All in all a lovely site well worth the money. Would definitely visit again, if only we lived closer.

Great campsite, the toilets and showers very clean, really nice farm shop and play area next door, site is well drained and even thought it rained no issues with mud or waterlogging.
We were camping in the field at the back of the site, with portaloos near us, which were always clean and tidy.
Very happy would recommend to anyone. We visited alnwick castle which the kids loved, and spent plenty of time on the beach at Bamburgh around the rain.
Great indian takeaway in Belford hidden at the back of a pub.

We have just visited this site after reading the excellent reviews on here. We found the site to be extremely clean and spacious. If you have small children this site is perfect as its safe and has large areas of grass ideal for young children to play safely and within view. We felt the park could be improved however just 5 minutes walk from the site there is a lovely park just right for young children.
The toilets etc where fantastic and very clean. The family shower rooms were great and very useful although at times you had to wait for one to become available. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and someone was always on hand if you needed anything.
The surrounding area is lovely with the beach just a ten minute drive away. We found a lovely pub called the Castle which served lovely meals at a very reasonable price (Bambra). There is a well stocked co op in belford itself and a chip shop.
Overall we have a very pleasant experience and have already booked another week there. For any campers with young children or children who can entertain themselves this site is perfect and well worth a try.

Brilliant, Lovely and we will be back!
Excellent campsite, one of the best I have been to. The toilets and showers are immaculate and there are lots of them, they provide mops to clean up after you and have lots of hot water.
Family shower rooms are a bonus and are equally as clean.
The grass to pitch up is like a bowling green its so clean and short. The park is good for kids and the walk into bluebell woods is lovely.
Owners are lovely, very helpful and go out of their way to make your stay perfect,
We walked into Belford which is a short walk, there is a good children's park and the Bluebell Hotel has a lovely beer garden which is like a secret garden for kids.
I would definitely recommend!

Second visit, this time with my parents who stayed in a caravan. No problem getting a pitch next to each other, even though only the caravan wanted an electric hook up.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff - set up the caravan as standard - toilets and showers superb, loads of space for us all to play games in. Kids didn't use the play area, they didn't need to with all the space near the tent. No shop, but co-op in the village and farm shop opening next door shortly. Can't say I'd recommend the local pubs for food and the chippy in the village was disappointing - worth the extra trip to Seahouses for excellent fish and chips!
Only down side was the washing facilities. Expensive: £3.50 for the world longest washing machine cycle (over 2 hours for a standard wash!) and then another £3.50 for an hour in the drier.
Well worth the money, great location, will doubtless be back.

This is an excellent camp site. The cleanest toilets and showers I have ever seen. The staff could not be more helpful - as we were cycle touring they even gave me a cup of milk so that I could recover with a cup of tea before I walked to the shop.
I cannot recommend this camp site enough. Absolutely wonderful!
Worth every penny of the slightly higher cost.

What a gem of a site this place is. We called in for an over night stop after visiting holy island.
We arrived on site after the reception was closed but two telephone numbers on the door brought an immediate response from the site owner on a quad bike. Who arrived to book us in, show us around the facilities and take up to our pitch for the night.
Nothing was any trouble for him. What a gentleman he was. After setting up we settled down with a beer and a glass of wine and the site was just brilliant.
We have driven up the main road past Haggerston and the Seahouses turn off many a time but never imagined such a great site as this was just off the main drag. The toilets where spotless, the showers a dream and the shop well stocked with campy /caravanny things.
Will definitely be back on this site. WITHOUT A DOUBT
Thank you for an excellent nights stop over

Had a lovely weekend away at South Meadows. The staff were friendly and helpful. We camped on the rear field(without hook up) and it was almost empty, probably only 8 other tents and it's a huge field so the children had lots of space to ride bikes/fly kites/play cricket. We were about a five minute walk away from the toilet blocks/washing area although there were 3 portaloos on our field. The toilets were kept very clean but I don't think the portaloo's were cleaned while we stopped there, it wasn't really a problem as there wasn't many campers using them.
There is a small wood for the children to explore and it really was a big adventure for them. There is a small play area but I'd say if your kids are older than 5 or 6 then they'll be bored after 10mins, bit of a shame really. There is quite a nice play area within walking distance of the site (left out of the site, bear left at end of road and the park is approx 200yards on your left)
The site is very well situated for exploring the coast and castles, Holy Island, Alnwick and Bamburgh are all short easy drives away.
Overall highly recommended and worth visiting, the site is amongst one of the most expensive I've stopped at(£25 two adults 2 kids per night) but I don't mind paying a premium when the facilities are maintained to a high standard and the site in good order. South Meadows is both of these.

We stayed 2 nights at this site on a bank holiday weekend,with our daughter and family who had stayed before and had recommended it to us.
Site is very good and very flat which is great when putting up a tent, we had EHU but there was still plenty of room, they seem to have 2 very large fields without EHU and still plenty of room to play football, which is ideal for children.
Toilet block was the cleanest I have been to,and showers were also tip top, staff were very friendly and helpful, site is spotless, the only downside would be to have another toilet block as they have 3 very large fields for campers and caravans.

This is a very, very good site.
The owners and employees could not be more helpful. There were 19 of us in our party, with four tents, and we were dealt with swiftly and with a smile, even on this busy bank holiday weekend. An extra EHU was supplied without any problems.
The toilets/showers were very well maintained, and there was never a wait to use them.
Bluebell Wood, which is part of the site, was a massive plus for the kids we had with us (nine children, all under eight years old.). They could have stayed there all day every day!
Belford village is a very short walk from the site, and has a lovely little play park for the kids. We never used the shops or the pubs, so I cannot review them.
One tiny criticism of the site would be the lack of a shop. They did have vending machines, but the stock was limited. We did speak to the owners about this, and he said he didn't want to take custom away from shops the village, which I suppose is admirable.
In summary, all 19 people in our party were very, very happy with this site.
