 A good site. Not the very best, but good. The owners were very kind and helpful which made up for many of the slight niggles we had. We went at a very busy time of year and found the site uncomfortably crowded, not as much space between units as I would have liked. Despite the very clear signs saying 'No ball games' there were games of football going on, one rather closer to us than I would have liked, but there was very little empty space for children to play in. However as I didn't complain at the time, it would be harsh to penalise the site for the behaviour of the campers! The facilities were fine and clean (though the ladies' toilets could have done with some bins). Though the site itself seemed crowded, at no time did I have to queue for the showers, toilets or dishwashing. The village pub was good, and we had an interesting walk along to the beach and back past Dunstanburgh and Craster.

We tried here because Dunstan Hill was full and I'm pleased we did. The site is very busy but having said we wanted to be away from tents Mr Davidson found us a quiet spot not far from the shower block. The only real disturbance was the noisy pigeons on top of the hedges! The facilities are just about adequate for the large numbers there but are very dated and quite shabby. Their website claims that they are 'spotlessly clean' but I'm afraid that wasn't the case last week and if they were upgraded they would probably be easier to maintain. The bins were also overflowing long before they were emptied. However, the area is fabulous and the pub in the village only a stroll away for great food. You can see Dunstanborough Castle from the gate and walk there in half an hour. We'd happily go back again.

Great site with plenty to do in surrounding area. Friendly welcome and interest taken in where we were from etc. Cottage Inn in Dunstan well worth an evening or two with free WIFI for those who feel the need to connect all the time. Craster and Alnwick well worth visiting plus the coastal walks are excellent.
Good level grass pitch with no hassles although neighbouring van was sited a little too close but nothing to really bother about.
Shower block was clean and tidy. Great efforts by the site owners have gone into providing a multitude of bins for recycling - a shame some people are too lazy to be bothered to use them properly but they're probably the same at home.
Coming off the A1 and heading to the site, the road is narrow in few places with a few blind bends. Watch out for cyclists too.
Will definitely be going back.

Much as I feel I should not mention this site. To keep it a secret. I must mention it as it will be in order to reward the site owner. Who is truly a great site owner and one of a kind.
We have been here on successive years now and will almost certainly go back at the earliest opportunity.
The site facilities are rustic but very clean and more than adequate to cope with anything that is thrown at them. Lots of showers and toilets for both males and females and apart from needing 20p for the shower, which is more than enough time to have a good shower, there is absolutely nothing to fault them.
There are potwashing facilities and chemical loo drains etc.
Recycling is practised here and there are facilities for mobile homes, water fill up and drain etc.
The pitches are good and the option to choose pitch is often possible if you have been before.
The owner is a hands on owner who with help from his family keeps a very tight and tidy ship. Sorry site. And he is also very helpful and highly visible, often enquiring if everything is alright or if you need anything at all.
The location is superb with lovely views, beaches and monuments along the sea shores in the area. Golf club nearby which provides food to non members and a local pub which supplies very good food now. Having changed hands about two or three years ago.
All in all this is a great site and I am sorry I have no more holidays available to go back again this year.
Full Marks to the owner and his team.

My husband son & I made a last minute booking to this site.
We were met by Mr Davison who escorted us to the site and checked we were happy with the location. There was a mixture of tents, camper vans and touring caravans on the site.
The facilities were dated but spotless, and our son loved the door step shop.
There was no direct access to a beach with Dunston Steads being a short drive away, and Craster village a short walk
We would definitely return and have recommended it to friends.

A wonderful find. Glad are usual site was full. Owner very helpful. Although the hight of the season and site almost full it remained fairly quiet.
My husband was particularly impressed with the showers which had a large changing area.
There is lots too do in the area and dogs love it. Our to labs walked for miles and then jumped in the sea for a swim. Didn't try the local pub as it was hosting a Garden Party and was very busy. Music very loud.

This site is ok if you're in a tent - I notice it tends to get much higher scores for caravan and motorhome users. There are no marked pitches which mean that at busy times like this weekend (July) you feel a bit on top of each other and the tent area is the furthest away from the toilet block etc which seems a bit daft when caravans and motor homes often have their own facilities! The pitches are level and well drained and the ground is not too hard so ordinary pegs are fine.
There are only 3 showers and toilets ( 3 each for men and women) and a long queue each morning (I have never had to queue for a shower before!) and for some reason you have to pay 10p. Just make it free for goodness sake! The water was hot but it kept going cold every half minute or so - maybe because there were so many people using the showers. Toilets ok and I must say really good quality toilet roll! No small bin in the washroom for face wipes, cotton wool pads etc and only one hand drier. £22 a night (two people and tent -inc EHU) so its not cheap - I think you get better value at a C&CC site to be honest. But a lovely area - I think we'll use Dunstan Hill next time.

We have just come back from five days here and I would endorse all the positive comments about the site.
It is in a fabulous location with lots to do in the local area. We enjoyed walks to the beach at Dunstanburgh, Dunstanburgh Castle and to and from Craster. Howick Gardens is well worth a visit (NB. No dogs allowed)
The site has ample clean facilities (loos, showers - 10p gives you good shower, 2 dish-washing rooms, laundry, enclosed bins and recycling point ), lots of hot water, and a clean tidy site.
We had one very heavy rain shower while we were there and the site drains quickly and did not become muddy. All pitches are flat with short grass.
We were shown to a pitch by the owner. With hindsight we should have asked him then for a pitch in the further field. We were unlucky on our third night to find that a groups of five units of parents with children had been pitched either side of us and we were surrounded. It turned out that they had not booked as a group but clearly intended to camp together and we had to ask them to keep noise down at 11pm. We spoke to the owner and things were quieter on their second night.
Other than that the site was quiet and peaceful despite it size - and I would comment that there were far more than the advertised 65 units on site and pitch sizes are not generous. There was no room to park our car beside the tent.
If privacy is important this might not be the ideal site for you. Having said that we will probably be back because the location is so good and the prices are reasonable.
There was local tourist info in the facilities block by the roadside including tide times (Holy Island crossings)and menus. There was also a book exchange and ice pack freezing facilities. (bear in mind this room is locked overnight).
Lots of signs on site so you are clear that there are no ball and frisbee games allowed - obviously because of there isn't sufficient space.

My first visit here. £18 for 3 man-tent, I adult and 2 young children. Showers 10p for approx 10mins. There is one free if you can get there first! Toilet, sink, showers good and clean. Close enough to The Cottage Pub to walk which has a nice bar, beer garden and service. Very short drive to Craster and Beadnal. Stayed midweek, booked on day of stay by phone, plenty of room for more tents. Nice couple who run the place.
Only downside were the children playing football on the centre of the site until 9. 30+pm. Either the parents couldn't read the signs saying no ballgames or they couldn't care less.

I love this place, it is quiet, relaxed and in a beautiful part of the country. Discovered it last year and have been back several times. The site is quiet, well run and friendly. Toilets and showers are spacious and always spotless.
There is a great wee, dog friendly, local pub, The Cottage, about half a mile away which does excellent real ale and food. Give your mouth a treat and try the Craster Kipper Pate washed down with a pint of Tyneside Blonde. Get there early on a Saturday night if you want a seat as there is normally a band playing from 9:00pm.
You're spoiled for choice if you're looking for something to do in this area. There are some exhilarating coastal walks, fascinating castles, seaside towns, Lindisfarne, Cragside and Alnwick all a short drive away.
Don't all flock there at once, leave a space for me.

It's the second time we have stayed at this lovely little site and it really is a little gem. The owners are very helpful and friendly. It is a very laid back site with nice people staying on it. Showers clean and roomy. Gardens great. Price ok. Nearby pubs are The cottage (friendly locals and reasonable prices) food ok but chips could be better. 15 min walk into Kraster and the jolly fisherman, BOTH LET DOGS IN. Do buy some fish in craster as it is spot on. Howick gardens down the coast, Earl Grey used to live there (prime minister). To the north try Embleton bay. All in all a great little site with loads of great surroundings

An excellent site with simple but very clean facilities
Toilet and showers are kept spotless, the site is well placed for
Good walking and cycling along the Northumberland coat
And is within easy reach of Alnwick or Berwick upon Tweed
My wife and I had a meal in the Cottage Inn, about ten minutes walk away from the site, a truly enjoyable experience.
With good choice of food on the menu. And impressive sized portions for your money eg. 2 starters + 2 main courses and a couple of drinks each all for less than £50, what more could you ask?
To sum up a lovely site in lovely surroundings.

2nd visit.
Lovely rural site. Basic but that's what I like about touring. Toilet and 10p showers good. No dedicated pitches ample space well drained. Shown to your area by the owner on his cycle. Milk eggs and orange available from the ajoining farm. Local pub down the road. Craster mile down the lane with shop, tourist info shop, kipper house tasty and a lovely cafe. Good touring Northumberland. Not over priced. Recommended.

We visited this as a second stop on our holiday and very nearly cancelled as we were so happy at our first site in Whitby. However, we were extremely glad we didn't cancel as this is a lovely site. The lanes to reach it are slightly snug so be warned, although the owners of the site do give you some directions about the best route into the site and these are definitely worth following. We were greeted by a lovely man on a bicycle who we followed to our pitch.
The pitches weren't uniform and we didn't have any hard standing but neither of these things bothered us in the slightest - it all added to the charm of the site. The showers were basic but there was plenty of hot water as long as you had enough 10p's. The only problem was you had to step out of the shower to reload which could be a little chilly! There was a washing machine and tumble dryer both which had a small charge but were both big enough to mean you could manage with just one load.
This was a really simple site but it attracts some friendly people and we found ourselves speaking to everybody on trips to and from the showers! This is a hidden gem of a site and we will definitely be returning.

I thought this was a lovely campsite. Others have commented on the old facilities or the fact that there isn't a clear deliniation between the pitches, but that's what I liked about it. I like sites which are a bit more natural and not pristine - if that's what you want you'd be better off in a b & b!
We chose the back field and our motorhome backed onto a field of cows, very rural! I enjoyed the laid back feel of this site. I thought the nearby pub was ok, because it was easy to walk to, but it was hot and stuffy and the food only so-so. I would definitely return to this site.
