 This was our first visit to this camp-site and it met all our expectations, the site was clean and tidy and well laid out.It was within easy walking distance to the town centre which has a number of small shops, a Co-op, a couple of hotels/pubs and also a number of nice coffee shops.
The owner of the site was very affable on booking and then on arrival at the site - no complaints there.
Although the site was on a hill it was laid out in such a manner that all pitches were easily accessible and reasonably level, some with good open views, there were hard-standings and grass pitches. Water and electricity all easily available.
The toilet block was adequate with good showers and always clean and tidy, there was also a launderette, information room and telephone.
I would recommend this site and will be going back in the future.

We visited this site with friends last week and had a really enjoyable trip. The site is in a great location and close to a very nice small town with good facilities ie. Shops / pubs / takeaways.
The site is quite hilly but I think we probably got one of the best pitches, it had EHU, hedges all round so quite private and mostly quite flat.
The facilities on site were quite basic and the toilets / showers not as clean (or warm!) as I would like. The children's play area was minimal and very old-fashioned and could do with an upgrade.
We visited a lot of local attractions, all within about half an hours drive - Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Cragside House (NT) and Bamburgh beach. There is certainly lots to see/do in the local area to keep the whole family entertained.

Visiting this site was our first time out camping with a 3 year old and 1 year old. We were told in advance there would be plenty of room and I knew the area was beautiful so this seemed like a perfect first outing.
Sadly on arrival we were told the main camp was full and the sheep had just been moved out of the overflow, we were warned about sheep droppings but these sheep must have been eating a lot of bran since last season as the droppings were wall to wall!
Not a lot for 2 kids as young as ours to do so we made our own fun playing sheep poo football.
The facilities were fine but a shop would have been nice. An ice cream van came round early evening and that was a bonus.
We refrained from using sheep poo to power the barbecue and opted for a more traditional type of charcoal. I would have scored this site a lot higher if it hadn't been for all that poo because it is sat in an area of natural beauty and the sunsets were to die for. Take a torch cos if you are in the overflow there is no lighting

If you approach through the main street of Wooler with a large van or motorhome go slow it can be busy, sat nav may take you right before the high street to avoid this.
There is no pull in area once you enter the site, stop through the entrance and go to the adjacent house door, tiny sign to tell you.
You have to follow the site owner to your choice of pitch, take a wide berth to go over the wooden bridge (larger units)
Beware of the site in wet conditions as its all grassy other than the road in and the hard standing which is covered by your caravan! Making it difficult for 2WD cars and a muddy mess for in and out of the van.
Play areas for kids very basic and the better of the two is out of sight from the touring area.
Toilet block basic but clean.
Wooler very nice market town, all you could need with short walk from site.
Biggest down side was EHU. Ended up running the van mainly on gas due to the lack of power, everyone else complaining - only to be told that it was Easter and everyone's using their heaters! Very poor really.
Nice location, needs a lot of work and wont go back for a few years.

With cleaner, better equipped (i.E. Soap) facilities and a warmer welcome from the owners this would be my favourite site!
There's loads of geese wandering around and can entertain your kids for hours with just the cost of a cheap loaf of bread! But beware, they will try to climb into your van if they think there's more food! Very charming though.
There is a small swing set in the touring area and a swing/slide near the entrance for the kids.
Watch for bats in the evenings, flitting about your head once it gets dark.
Very short walk into Wooler. Lovely village and you MUST see the old fashioned sweety shop!

A very nice camp site. Had a great week. Would definitely recommend and will probably return. Lovely site, lots of space for tents and kids with a stream to play in. Helpful if you like ducks as there are some very friendly ones around the site. Some parts of the site can be a bit exposed if its windy.
The toilets were fine, even on the August BH weekend. Not needing to book was a bit weird but it worked out OK and the owners were very helpful.
Good location to explore coast and local attractions. Wooler is a short cycle ride or 10 mins walk with good local facilities.
We would recommend Cragside (NT) for a day out and also the Percy Arms Hotel in Chatton for a great meal (though a bit pricy).
Overall, very enjoyable stay - even the midges weren't that bad!

I use this site regularly as it is not too far from where we live.
I do not use the site facilities so I cannot comment on them. However, the views are beautiful, the staff friendly, the site very handy for the village (pubs and shops) and the ducks on site are delightful as long as you're careful what you tread into the caravan!
If it wasn't so good, I wouldn't keep going back.

Spent a weekend here and its a great site. Owners are relaxed and let you find your own pitch, prices are good and the location is ideal. The facilities were clean and tidy and the showers lovely and hot.
The town of Wooler is a five minute walk away. It has a range of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Long and short distance walking trails pass through the town. We did a bit of the hill-forts trail, which was great, but you can also go to the top of the Cheviot from the site if you fancy a big day out!
A great site; will definitely return.

A nice site with lovely views. Busy with the sort of noise that brings. Very modern facilities, but not cleaned well when we were there. There was dirt on a couple of mirrors and toilets that remained throughout our stay. The choice of tiles for the toilet block floors was unwise-they were about as slippy as you could hope to find!
A few useful local shops close by in Wooler.
Lovely area-Alnwick gardens are a must see :)

Spent 6 nights on one of the electric pitches and overall it was a great stay. The site is very tidy and picturesque and the owners very friendly and helpful. The ducks on site were the highlight for my 1-year old!
Wooler is a short walk/drive (if you are lazy) and you will find a decent Coop that has most of your basics. The site is perfectly situated for getting around Northumberland with everything 'about 20 miles away'.
The only gripe I had is that there could be more showers, although I never had to wait long and they could be cleaner - definitely a 'wear your crocs in the shower' site.
This was our first visit to Northumberland and we will definitely return next year and stay at Highburn House. The prices are excellent - we paid £17pn for 2 adults, 3 kids with electric.
No hesitation in recommending the site.

This was our second visit to this campsite the shower rooms and laundry facilities were clean .
We love this site it is a very friendly site with great views,great wildlife and the resident ducks are great.
A very friendly welcome when we arrived by both Robert and his wife.
There is some children's playing parks dotted around the site.
This site is only a five minute walk from local shops and pubs so no need for a car once your there and the coop is open until 10pm every night!.
This site is a family orientated site and is very quiet on an evening.DOGS are welcomed as long as you keep them on a lead and CLEAN UP AFTER THEM.
This is a very clean site and will recommend to ALL.

This was our first visit to Highburn and we arrived on Sat lunchtime the owner was friendly and helpful and showed us a choice of pitches both with EHU. The site is split into 3 sections with static caravans as you come through the gates with a small park for the kids before you travel accross a little wooden brdige to the touring caravan and camping EHU field with a further field behind this for non EHU. The pitches are level and well used please note the reviews mentioning stony ground are correct we took hard ground pegs and you will need some.
This is our 4/5th year to Northumberland so we know Wooler quite well and we chose this site as we have 8 & 2 yr old boys and this is the quieter of the 2 sites in Wooler and better for it in our opinion so there is not much noise on an evening and none after 11 pm.
The facilities we found to be very good free showers with plenty of hot water. They could have been cleaner on occasion but this was more down to other guests not taking the trouble to clean up with the mop provided after showering. This was compounded by the weather not being great, the bbq summer meant the 5 nights we were there it rained every day ! There is a laundrette and washing up room and chemical loo disposal point. Please also note the site although looks sheltered is fairly exposed and the wind was strong and blustery most days Take your storm pegs as well! The midges were a factor we found our citronella candles (when we got back!) The views are spectacular and its perfectly placed for exploring the area 30 mins to Bamburgh/Seahouses etc. My kids loved the freedom and my 8 yr old met some great friends we recommend you take wellies for the older kids as there is a shallow stream that the kids seemed to congregate in! Our youngest loved the ducks who instinctively know what time Breakfast Lunch and Dinner are served and meander round each pitch looking for their next free meal. They are not shy and will happily invite themselves into your awning ! Overall a nice site with lots of open spaces and stunning views and at 16 pounds per nite with EHU reasonable to boot.

We stayed here for two nights earlier this year, it was a tad chilly but the weather stayed dry. The site was rather quiet when we arrived and after we took some time to find the owner we quickly got settled. The campsite was quiet with a few caravans which looked like they were there permanently and we were directed to a pitch next to the EHU points which were dotted around the field. After we arrived some more people with tents and they were dotted around in different places like us. Our pitch was directly next to the block of facilities which included - pot wash room, male and female toilets and showers, a room with laundry facilities and a room with public telephone and tourist information bits and pieces - a really nice touch for strangers to the area. The toilets and showers got a little bit cold on a early morning and the floor in the shower area got absolutely soaking wet which was fun when trying to get dry and put your clothes back on.
The campsite was fairly quiet but our toddler had to bypass the park as there was always much older children playing around and about it - but she particularly loved feeding the resident ducks waddling around and crossing the little bridge over the stream. The village of Wooler was just a short walk away and the shops and pubs can supply you with pretty much anything you should need whilst camping. Further afield in a local housing estate there's a lovely children's play park where we spent a lot of time with our daughter. There are pubs serving food, a sandwich bar and a pizza come chip shop which can serve any need for fast food.
We really enjoyed our stay at High burn house and we will be back.

The site has amazing views, plenty of space for non EHU's and good access to walks.
The toilet blocks and showers were cleaned regularly. Had access to power points which was useful for charging devices. There was also good washing facilities eg washing machine, dryer and ironing board. A good information point, Chemical waste disposal and three washing up sinks.
The playground was a bit small and would benefit from upgrading.
There were no facilities on the site hwever shops, pubs and restaurants were very close by - a ten minute walk into Wooler.
