We had mixed feelings about this site. First, the good. This is a lovely, well-kept site in a lovely location, a fantastic part of north Northumberland just a mile or 2 from the beautiful beaches and castle of Bamburgh. Its a very family-friendly park with two excellent children's playgrounds, one for the younger kids (my 1 and 5 year olds had a ball), and one for the older ones, with zip-slide and so on. Plus, there's a nice little football pitch and a small woodland walk. All fantastic it has to be said.
Now the bits we didn't find so good. This site does not accept tents, which has, it seems, led to a rather unique dynamic on the park. Aside of the large static caravan area, there is a huge collection of what I presume are seasonal-pitched caravans. Which is fine, but we started to feel a little like we were gatecrashing someone's party. Clearly there's a lot of regulars who drive the 1 hour trip up from Tyneside to their vans, and our pitch seemed to be right in the middle of them all. To be fair everyone seemed pleasant enough if they were forced to talk to you, but we just felt that the site lacked the 'make new friends' friendly feel that most sites we go to (frequented by all types of unit) have.
And as others have noted, the loos and showers are really in need of updating - dark, dingy, though to be fair, reasonably clean.
In summary, despite the comments above, this is actually a nice site and it's in a beautiful area with some of the best beaches and sand dunes you'll find in England. But be aware that - if you get put where we did - you could be surrounded by regulars that may not lead to the friendly campsite feeling you're used to.
We stayed here spring bank holiday, lovely clean site about a mile out of bambough. Toilets and shower area clean if somewhat dated. Site was very quiet at night despite the site being full. Staff very pleasent and helpful. The Northumbrian coastline is stunning and Alnwick castle is well worth a visit kids would love it. All in all a very enjoyable weekend, we will be back soon
What a great site we managed to stumble upon! Visited August Bank Holiday weekend and paid just £20 a night for caravan and awning, car , 2 kids and a dog, what a bargain! The site is well laid and out and well kept we had a wonderful pitch. The site was loveley and quiet and well run. Kids really enjoyed the play area and there is also a football field where the wardens held a sports day and football tournament on Bank Holiday Monday which was brilliant as our schools sports day was rained off so the little ones took part, all in all it was a really fun day! There is also a 2nd smaller play area behind the reception for younger children and plenty of games availble to hire at the reception too. Noise was not a problem either was pretty quiet in the evenings. No traffic noise either as it is away from the main roads. Toilets and shower blocks are a little dated but water hot and plentiful and very clean, and if it ain't broke then why fix it, I think it adds to the charm of the site! Shop onsite small but ok for milk bread papers etc but for anything more there is a co-op in Seahouses. Bamburgh is wonderful. Impressive views of the castle from site and just a short cycle ride to the village. The beaches are soft silky sand and to say it was bank holiday the beaches were not overcrowded. I would advise you to take a windbreak though as it can be a bit breezy. All in all we had a wonderful holiday here, staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we decided to stay an extra night too.
We have been a few times as there is a lot going for this site.There are two great parks.One geared for younger children and a huge one with zipper slide and basketball nets. There is also a playing field at another end of the site and a wee woodland walk. We found it family friendly and safe. Bamburgh beaches are another reason we go back.White sands and dunes. Also Seahouses is nearby also- the place for amusements, harbour, boat trips etc although as soon as I set foot in the place I want Chips and Ice-cream! (Its the sea air!) Great site. A bit more expensive than other places we have been and the shower block perhaps should be getting upgraded soon to reflect this (again, comparing to other places we have been ) but then the parks and play areas are more important to us. As long as toilets, showers are clean and there is hot water then thats fine. We enjoyed our stay.
This site is lovely - it's large, cheap & the staff are really friendly. The showers/toilets are a bit dated but really clean. It's really close to Seahouses and Bamburgh. It was a bit chilly at night but you are on the coast!Will definitely be going back again this year.
Lovely clean caravan site. When we arrived were guided to pitch by friendly staff. Small park for younger children near the tourer pitches which kids loved, there was also a park for older children, which the kids loved too. 2 football pitches, badminton and tennis nets already set up for use too. Toilets were dated but very clean, although the site was quiet when we were there. The toilet block could do with some heating, wouldn't like to shower first thing in the morning. But that is probably the only bad thing about the site, but it won't put me off going again. Shortish walk to bamburgh and the castle and just a 5 minute drive to seahouses, which has shops, takeaways, restaurants etc. Beach just a short drive and kids loved all the sand dunes, a bit cold for a dip though. Shop on the site only open a few hours a day, not that we used it. Would go back again, just heat up the shower block, please!
A great site ,we only stayed one night with 5 children! The facilities were o.k and cleaned regularly, fantastic parks for kids of all ages, friendly staff- the young man on duty actually lent my husband his bike to go for cigarettes ! The site had lots of children which was great as my kids made lots of new friends but it was quiet after about 9.30, so we all had a good nights sleep. You have to be off your pitch by 12 0 clock but we stayed later and we weren't rushed to leave, shop wasn't that well stocked i.e milk, bread and sweets for the kids - would have liked to have seen more things on sale but good for your basic needs though. All in all we enjoyed staying at this site and will definatly be going back
A great campsite if you have kids. A dedicated football area and nice play park. Has a small shop on site and two toilet / shower blocks. Although one of them is well away from the camping area and in among the static caravans, strange! Units were quite close and you we were allocated a slot. We could not pick were to pitch. A lot of kids on the site, it was very busy. Would go again if I took the kids, but not if we did not have them.
This is our second visit to the site. Both times the staff were really friendly and helpful. The site is lovely and flat and the site is clean and tidy. The children love the play areas and the site is safe for them to cycle around. Though a little dated the showers are hot, free and even though we went in July we never had to wait to use them. We think it is a great site, perfect for children and days at the beach. We will definitely go back.
Cramped in the middle of the site. Probably quite nice if you can get an 'outer ring' pitch some of which have views and all of which will be much quieter than being stuck close to the reception office and toilet block. Shower block could be cleaner. Shop staff could be friendlier.
The area is beautiful and you really must visit it, but there are nicer sites than this. Make sure you get to Alnwick Castle, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh, Warkworth etc. The beaches are superb and made for evening rambles with the dog. Walks in the Cheviots in easy reach. Ours even got a walk on the Farne Islands where we saw seals, puffins, shags, guillemots and a million other birds. Fish and chips in Seahouses watching the boats come in and out of the harbour and a pint or two at the Olde Ship. Bliss. Shame about the site really.
