 First ever camping visit for me, my husband and twin boys. We choose this site as it was close enough to home if things went wrong but didn't need to be concerned at all.
Overall excellent site owner was very polite giving us directions as to where to pitch our tent but left the choice up to us, we managed to get that bit wrong and ended up in the wrong field nobody seemed to mind and we had a good spot, some areas are on a slope but nothing major.
The showers and toilets were clean but no soap to wash your hands and only 3 showers in ladies and when you consider that most mums take there children to shower there was a bit of a wait. A nice area to wash up was provided but again only 3 sinks so you had to time it right if you didn't want to hang around.
The boys loved the little park area and made friends upon arriving.They had plenty of space to play around the site with bats and balls and loved the ducks wandering round.
Shops not far away only 10min walk slight hill to walk up but nice little town.
The views from the site are great. Very cheap only £14 a night would pay that for the view.
MIDGES all over repellent a must.
Would definitely go back and would recommend it is worth a visit.

Had a choice of two pitches, not hardstanding as said these were all booked despite us having booked and paid deposit many weeks before. Unfortunately the choice was behind the toilet blocks or right next to the wooden bridge which made a racket every time anyone drove over it.
Site was very busy and the 3 showers and ? 5 toilets could not cope. Waits every morning for shower whatever time you went - even busy at 6.30am! Our pitch was also right behind the rubbish bins and bottle banks - why people needed to use the bottle banks at 6.30am is beyond me (hence the 6.30 visit to the shower block).
Nice stroll in to the town which had plenty to offer the way of food and pubs and shops.
All in all the site itself was pleasant but facilities were not enough for size of site.

Potential to be an excellent site. Friendly, helpful owners and reasonably priced. £13 per night for non electric pitch with 1 child and a dog (dogs are free which seems very rare on sites these days - quite impressed!). Pitched in a lovely quiet spot at rear of site with lovely views. Electric pitches were fully booked but managed fine without all our gadgets and gizmo's. By Saturday afternoon, the site was absolutely full which did lead to a few let-downs. Our main problem was the facilities - or lack of! The toilet block (ladies was almost constantly out of loo roll, which as you ladies know, is far from nice and very annoying. They smelt very bad (my five year old even complained every time we had to 'pay a visit'. They had no soap dispensers whatsoever so had to take our own each visit. 3 showers which were free and although good temperature, there were big ques and were dirty. There was a mop but as there was no bucket to rinse it in and no cleaning fluids etc, you were basicly just pushing round filthy water! :-( I would deffinately say that there needs to be more toilets/showers for a site of this size at full capacity and they need cleaning and re-stocking more frequently. Despite the poor toilet blocks though, we made the most of our visit and enjoyed our stay. A nice site with a nice feel and within walking distance into Wooler which has a decent amount of shops, pubs etc. We would like to return at a quieter time of year and hopefully experience cleaner, more well maintained facilities.

Campsite at first appears to be hilly but has lots of flat pitches and also some secluded pitches, ideal for only 1 to 2 tents. Toilets and showers are well maintained. Clean and spacious with as much free hot water as you need. Good facilities for washing pots and doing laundry. Nice and quite after 11pm often earlier. No shop onsite but only a 10 mintue walk from wooler which has convenience store open late, pubs and restaurant. Dogs are welcome but nowhere obvious to let them off the lead. Overall enjoyed stay and plenty to do in surrounding area and beyond.
Could do with some separate baby changing facilities. Has one slide and 2 swings not suitable for younger children, more play equipment would be good.

Well we've just arrived back from our first family camping experience and decided to go with here as the reviews were good. We weren't disappointed! We stayed at the back of the tent field and the views were brilliant! My Son (10) made lots of friends and Daughter (5) enjoyed playing with the friendly ducks that seemed to like our tent! It was fairly busy but the noise calmed down from about 10pm. The toilets and shower facilities were nice and clean and always had toilet paper!, plenty of water taps and recycling bins. We chose to go into the Co-op for BBQ essentials as it was such a warm night and relaxed watching the sun set whilst the kids played on the large field! Lovely night and will defo be returning later in the holidays.

This site is really good value at £15 a night for 2 adults + 3 kids and great location to boot.
Wooler town has a few pubs and take-aways and they are a mere 10 minute walk from the site. Some of the pitches are slightly sloping and some with excellent privacy.
We camped in a large field for non-elec tents which was great and fantastic views also. Approximately 5 mins from the facilities and children's play park.
The site has a number of ducks and ducklings patrolling all over, so it's pretty common to find them looking for a few crumbs at your tent door.
A few caravan pitches have serviced water/elec but these look mainly for the long-stay regulars and their are quite a few statics which have been lovenly looked after with a range of garden ornaments and planted with a good range of flora.
Showers and toilet facilities are good, with the water being steady, not too hot and lasting long enough for you to have a comfortable shower and rinse.
Dish wash area, and clothes wash & dry if needed.
We visited Heatherslaw light railway for a trip out, about 10 mile north. The actual train ride from Heatherslaw to Etal village lasted about 20 mins where there was a small ruined castle to visit, we decided for a nice pint outside the thatched pub (Black Bull)then back another 20 mins to Heatherslaw £24 all in, where we had parked the car. Great for kids and childish adults.
Will definitely be returning before end of summer holidays.

Third time I have visited this site. We were pitched in the large field at the back (tents only). This was less that 2 mins walk to the showers / toilets. Slight slope in field, but had a nice pitch with shelter from trees. Ground ideal for pegs. Plenty of water points around the site.
Toilets fine. Clean, plenty hot water. Site wasn't that busy (compared to other local ones which I couldn't get into).
When you arrive, guy asks if you had been before and lets you go where you want. That suits me, but I understand others want a full tour of site.
Surrounding area great. Plenty of walks etc. 5 mins walk into town centre with pleny pubs and other places to eat. There is a co-op for anything you forgotten and a great chip shop.
Small park at the site, which my son really liked. Wasn't too busy.
Small river runs through site, good for older kids and plenty of ducks just wandering about for the younger ones.

First visit to Wooler and the surrounding area, decided on this site as the other one in Wooler seemed too big and commercial for my family!
Site is a short walk to the centre of Wooler, in a quiet area, away from the road.
Arrived and checked in (gave myself and my brother (in our 20s) worried looks - I think the owner thought we were going to rave - which indicates they are on the ball with troublemakers), and given directions to the tent field. Rest of the site was packed out, but the tent field was quiet at the time of arrival.
Pitched in the middle of the tent field, which is large, but the walk to the facilities was still substantial. One 4/5 toilets and 3 showers in the single block for the site. Showers hot and free but got muddy (as usual with campsites). My main concern is the toilets ran out of loo roll and on more than one occasion smelled. Questionable. Too few facilities for the site I think, and this wasn't 100% capacity.
Site was quiet, would stay there again if they got the facilities situation sorted.

Our first family camping expedition! We found the camp site owners very friendly and accommodating, leaving us free to decide to stop an extra night if the weather kept nice. Competitive prices. I found the ladies toilets/shower block to be basic, no soap, but they were clean and there was always loo roll and no need to queue. We thought the 'children's park' wasn't up to much for our children (2 and 4 years), but they enjoyed playing with the other children on site and the sheep that came to say hello, so they were very happy. A handy base for us for visiting Alnwick and the sweetie shop in Wooler! All in all a fab first outing and we will definitely be visiting again.

Arriving on the Saturday afternoon about 4pm we were greeted by the owners who were very warm and welcoming. We were told where to go and to choose a site.
Following the directions we found ourselves in a large open field. There was a large hill in the middle of the field but this did spilt it up nicely there was plenty of space although some of it on a slope. There are no set pitches which suited me since my tent is the size of a small country!
There was only one toilet block which had 5 toielts and 3 showers for females which meant a short wait in the morning for the shower. The toilets were clean if in need of a little updating.
The site was pleasant and in nice location.
It was a short walk (5min) to a nice selection of pubs in the village. We only stayed 1 night and didn't use any other facilities in the village. The site was rather busy but not over crowded.
I would recommend the site and would certainly go back myself. The only real problem I had was other campers allowing their dogs to foul and not clean up after them. Lack of dog waste bins may account for this but I do take offense at cleaning up after other peoples dogs. I do it enough with my own!

Just been to this site for the first time. Very nice site spoilt by the fact that there is not enough toilets or showers. Apart from that the site is very clean and there was not much noise. Quite a cheap site. The worst thing though is not the sites fault , its midges they were terrible lovely sunny nights but you had to sit in your tent. Every one seamed to get bitten , so take some sort of repellent

Went to this campsite after reading previous reviews. However, we were slightly disappointed.
Positives first though:
Beautiful setting
Friendly atmosphere
Showers warm, free and long lasting
Good for children (to play near stream if old enough!)
Negatives;
Toilets were reviewed as being immaculate. Definitely not the best I've been to. At times the floor looked like coffee was on it. No soap to wash your hands. One night we had no toilet paper at all in the ladies.
Only 4 toilets and 3 showers for a very busy campsite with a large tent field. Definitely not equipped for the amount of people. Had to queue for toilet and shower.
Dishwashing facilities were clean but only 3 meant that had to queue for them too.
Only 1 water tap (that I found) for the whole tent field.
After all that we did have a lovely weekend basically because the weather and the area were so beautiful. I would perhaps go back but not on a bank holiday.

We stayed otogether with other family members. This is a nice friendly site, pitched where we wanted. Running water very close by as was the toilet and shower facilities.
No noise at night, everyone friendly and sociable. Good, local shops just minutes away, plenty to explore nearby in rural Northumberland
A nice inexpensive site, looking forward to returning with the kids!

We came to this place with a strong recommendation from a work colleague who's just been two weeks before. We were not disappointed! The site is beautiful! It is surrounded with a very scenic view of the cheviots. The facilities were immaculate with very nice strong hot showers.
It is literally 5mins walk from wooler high street that offers convenient shops for all your needs and few pubs to quench your thirst and serves nice meals.It is also few miles drive from all the beautiful scenic countryside of Northumberland.
Because of its location (hills) it can be a bit windy, but a good breeze blocker had sorted it all for us.
Overall, it is a lovely place and we are definitely coming back next month.

This was a short stay only, mainly to test new tents and as a last gasp trip away before the dreaded return to work. I'm a very recent new member and had checked out a few site reviews in the Northumberland area,and opted for Highburn House campsite in Wooler. I was slightly concerned after reading a couple of reviews but was more than pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The campsite was easy to find, just outside the village and on arrival ,I found the manager to be very friendly. He only directed me to our designated pitch but it wasn't difficult to find (anywhere past the swings). We found a good level area enclosed on two sides by hedges and pitched there. On inspection of the site we found it to be very picturesque, clean and tidy. Very well kept. Some signs put up to indicate dog-walking areas would be helpful. There were plenty of water taps around the site. Toilets, Laundry, Showerblocks, all to a good standard.
There were ducks to be found touring the site greeting people and being fed with bread, and then wandering off down to the stream for a drink. Kids played out but it wasn't noisy and the site was quiet after dark, and this was at weekend.
All in all, we found this to be a very nice friendly site, close to a very nice village with all the amenities you might need (pubs, cashpoint, fish&chips, takeaway, bakers, butchers, gift shops) and an ideal spot from which to tour historic Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Recommended.
