 Cant find anything bad to say about this site at all. Great views out to sea, lovely clean toilet block and friendly wardens.
Lovely 30 minute walk into Whitley Bay along the Links and the promenade.Original 60s style milk bar on prom very clean and well preserved (it was like walking back into my teenage years).
Whitley Bay itself is quite a lively little town and if you like all the usual cheap shops and charity stores to browse (like my wife) you'll love it.Spoilt for choice of pubs within walking distance from the Delaval arms just outside the site to The Kings Arms and Waterford arms just 10 minutes walk along towards Seaton Sluice harbour.
Great transport links with bus stop just outside site with buses every 15 minutes into Newcastle

Beautiful site looking out to sea right up on cliffs.
Not the most modern of club sites, but more than made up for by its location and vista.
Be aware that site is on a severe slope so levelling can be an issue on some pitches. This is not a real child friendly site as there are no facilities for children, saying that there is lots for kids to do in the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed this site and would heartily recommend it.

Well start of the year, what a great site, friendly staff, great pitches (need some blocks on some of them, most are sea view) Slight problem with the toilet block {heating an hot water) Popped in to pub at top for meal an good value for money. Chippy along road GILLS is the best I have had in a long time, bit of a queue but worth it.
If you have kids with you the WAVES leisure centre is worth a visit (5 mins into whitley bay on right) Grandaughter didn't want to come out. Was our first outing this year, will be going back

We love this site but it is definitely a challenge to get the van level due to the severe slope 'down the hill'. Now I know the site conditions I recommend that visitors take with them a couple of good sized blocks about one brick high to place under the front steadies. See all the other reviews - this is a common thread but is not insurmountable.
If you like 'fish sorry, whale & chips' then Seaton Sluice is the place just along the road but did try the Delaval Arms pub next door and could not complain - good quality steaks and good cheerful service.
St Mary's Island is just a short walk away and is really great - there are lots of rock pools for the kids to explore!

We stayed here for 4 nights as we had to be in Newcastle on the Friday and decided to make a long weekend of it. The site has lovely views out to sea and St Marys lighthouse from all pitches. We were right at the front which is quite a steep slope down from reception. We had to use levelling blocks and lots of wood to get the van pitched correctly. Pitches further up the slope looked to have their vans at very precarious angles to get them level.
When leaving the site we would definitely have struggled without the motor movers as the steep grass was wet and the pitches quite close together.
The toilet block was ok and fairly clean although there was always a lot of hair in the showers and the cubicles were quite small. Unless you go for a shower about 7am you will have quite a long wait as there are only three.
There is a pub The Delaval arms at the site entrance and although it states that it won pub of the year award 2008 and 2009 it looked very tired. There is a good fish and chip shop just up the road in Seaton Sluice and the portions are huge!
It is very easy to drive up along the Northumberland coast from the site and there are plenty of places to visit.
We would stay at the site again if we needed to be in the area but if you want to see Northumberland it would be better to find a site further up the coast.

Stayed here mid may weather was raining when we left home (manchester) but sun came out as we arrived.
Very small site most pitches on a slope. Picked a pitch in the middle with great view of light house. Needed a little help to pitch van but people helped.
Once set up very pleased lovely walk with the dogs to the light house and on into the bay down the beach.
The area has had a big makeover and lovely beaches great for the dogs to. Would go again maybe a little out of season as the site gets very busy.

What a great site both in location and views. The only problem we encountered was getting the caravan level side to side on an awning pitch. Because of the slope down to the sea some people struggled trying to reverse onto the pitch up hill and then level the van which can require some large amounts of blocks and should think this could be interesting in the wet. I would also say to make sure you have a selection of pegs as the hard standing for the awnings is not the normal 'Hard' material used on Caravan Club Sites and so will not always grip the pegs as you might expect.
I would say that this site is not ideal for family's with children as there is no play area and a decent walk would be required to find a suitable place. The showers of which there are 3 are also a little tight if you need to supervise your child and 1 of the 3 is even smaller than the others.

Toilet Block clean & tidy, Reception no longer order newspapers-newsagents / shop a half mile away. Post Office & Fish 'n 'Chips a little further. Pub just outside site gates, we went into Taproom (only one open after meals finished) found it to be tired & weary but Bar Staff very obliging. A very nice site-we really enjoyed being there.

We agree with all of the points raised in the previous review but with one addition which maybe of interest.
The reasonably level hardstandings are accessed over grass which is sloping. When we came to leave it was raining and the grass was wet and slippery, we reversed off the hardstanding and turned to face down the slope, however it is not possible to exit by driving around the site due to other pitches / outfits being in the way. A three point turn with a reverse up the slope with much slipping on the wet grass followed by some tricky manoeuvring through the other parked units was required before we could get our wheels onto a hard surface. We managed it but not without giving a few of our neighbours something to watch during breakfast. It maybe worth walking the site and checking your exit route before siting your van onto a pitch. The wardens are helpful and a tractor is available if required.
The coast to the north is excellent if you like wild sandy beaches, dunes and castles, oh and some industrial heritage.

My husband and I stayed at this site for one night on our way up to Northumberland.
The wardens were very friendly and the site itself was very picturesque, overlooking the sea and lighthouse. The touring pitches were all placed so that you got a seaview.
There's not much to do in the immediate area and as it was raining we drove into Whitley Bay to have a look around there. What a disappointment! We found it to be very dirty, run down and not at all like a seaside town.
To summarise, I would recommend Old Hartley campsite for a short stay but be prepared to drive as it is in the middle of nowhere. Would also be ideal for walkers.
