 The campsite is handily located off the road north out of Bamburgh village and was very easy to find. It covers a massive area, most of which is given over to static caravans and chalets; however, the touring area is separate, also very extensive, and very pleasantly laid out.
The pitches are a good size - okay, we were there for a quiet midweek stay, and in high season when fully booked the place might seem less roomy, but we liked it when we were there! The facilities are really good - excellent shower and toilet facilities (I particularly appreciated the wall heaters in the ladies wash rooms).
There's a good shop and also a bar which also serves food (closed on Tuesday when we were there); there's also a splash pool and there looked to be a games room as well, but perhaps only in high season.
The position is really quite idyllic, with amazing views out over the sea and inland into the mountains. Bamburgh castle is visible from the entrance to the site and there is a well-signposted path down to Bamburgh village - a really nice evening walk of about 40 minutes.
Bamburgh has plenty of places to eat and drink and a few small shops as well. You could also walk down the road to Budle Bay, which is rather lovely. The campsite would also be a good base for Alnwick, Berwick, Dunstanburgh, Chillingham and so on.
The staff were unfailingly helpful whenever we needed to deal with them. All in all, this is an outstanding site that we will certainly return to.

5 nights stay 2 adults and 3 children 14, 11 and 5.
Just arrived back from a cracking stay at this site. First visit to this site and would recommend. On arrival check in was very quick and easy, we had booked electric hook up and was allocated a good pitch, close to the toilet and shower block.
Site has 2 play areas which our kids loved and a large field for them to play football or other ball games. The pool which is located at the main reception and bar area is great the water is warm and the area around the pool is non slip which is good as our 5 year old thought it was a race track.
The toilet block had 4 showers and I think 6 toilets. What can I say…….( Seen better but also seen much worse ) Showers are very cramped and toilet forever running out of toilet roll. They also have family pods which have toilet, shower and sink all in one room however tried several times to get in one and always a queue so gave up in the end and just went to the other block.
If you need to re-freeze cooler blocks you can use the freezer in reception. This is FOC.
Well stocked shop but as usual over priced. Bar £ 2.70 a pint, didn’t eat in there however food looked ok and a good atmosphere.
Would definitely return to this site.

Lovely campsite in lovely location close to lots of places to visit and beaches. Good sized pitches most with EH set on three levels and a large central field. Plenty of toilets and four showers in ladies, (showers are free). Dont know about mens. Toilets kept pretty clean. Laundry room and pot washing area.Bar which serves breakfasts, lunches and evening meals till 9pm. On site shop selling all you need for trip. Small swimming pool. 11pm no noise rule which is stuck to.
Bad points are as fields on different levels and gaps in hedging, kids and adults would use as short cuts bad if your tent is pitched at the side of them, like ours. Cos of this you get people climbing over your guy ropes and squeezing round the back of your tent instead of just using the path. This has been stopped in places with a small fence.
This is a family campsite so expect loads of kids to be playing football and riding bikes round your tent. Would still go again but ask for better pitch.

This is a lovely site. Very prettily situated and spread around little hills.
The Wigwams are excellent. Very clean and comfortable. The mattresses are foam, a little bit firm but quite comfortable. There's a small fridge but you need to bring all the rest of your camping gear! We've stayed in a few Wigwams and these are definitely some of the better ones!
The Wigwams have their own toilet/shower block and you are given a a key for access to them. I didn't see another soul in them for the whole of our stay. They were lovely and clean and spacious.
The restaurant and bar are just a short walk away and next to them is a clean, heated outdoor swimming pool, which our son played in for hours. There's plenty of small play areas for the kids.
Theres a small shop on site, which stocks most things you need.
Bamburgh is just a few minutes drive away, if you have more expensive dining habits and Seahouses is about 10 minutes drive if you want a fish and chip supper!
We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Just got back from 5 nights at this site and we had a great time. It is a fantastic area with loads to do and see (membership of National Trust was handy as several local places- Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, Cragside house, Dustanburgh Castle were National Trust or free to members). Didn't visit Bamburgh Castle as it is about £7 for adults. Seahouses is a lovely little town- fantastic fish and chips at the Pinnacle Fish and Chip shop, and the boat rides are fun (although very choppy so definitely not for the faint-hearted or seasick!)
We enjoyed the site itself despite several drawbacks. The toilets and showers were OK, although tended to be busy and frequently without toilet paper. However, they were well-heated which was a bonus. The larger family cubicles were handy, although the style of them meant they tended to be a little messy underfoot. The shop was good and sold a range of local products as well as the usual stuff. Was very pleased to find both local bread and eggs which were delicious. Prices were as you'd expect for an onsite shop. The Splash Pool and playground looked great and there were plenty of children enjoying them.
Our main concern about the park was the noise level at night. It often went on beyond 11pm, and some groups were very inconsiderate. We were in a small tent and even had some people (children, but it seemed the adults with them found it funny) banging on our tent at around 11 one night! There were a lot of larger groups on the tenting field who naturally made more noise- most were considerate but a significant few, particularly at the weekend, showed no concern for others and made an incredible amount of noise.
We would visit this campsite again, but would perhaps avoid busier times like summer holidays. We do not go to bed particularly early ourselves, and don't mind a bit of background noise, but it really was excessive at certain times during our stay. Otherwise a nice site and lovely area.

Love this site, been going 2 or 3 times a year for the last 4 years. Ideal for me the hubby 2 kids and 2 boxer dogs. Good walks for dogs. Lovely atmosphere, tent area usually goes quite about 10.30pm nice size pitches we have electric, wash area and toilets always clean. Have small shop which is well stocked.
Splash pool which is free great for the kids. Have pub which sells food which you can also takeaway, chips lovely! if we didn't take the kids I wouldn't move off the site! the kids like to go the beach which is 10mins away.
Bambourgh castle is about 10mins away in car. All round great site can't rave about it enough! the wardens very helpful, nothing is to much trouble, make you feel welcome, once again great site!

We've just come back from a week on this site in a wigwam. The wigwams are very warm perhaps a little bit too cosy (ie small) but then we are used to a large tent or folding camper so perhaps we are spoilt. The views from the wigwams were amazing and the sunsets the best we've seen in this country. My 8 yr old loved the pool and going to the shop each morning for milk. The site was lovely though, quiet each night after 11. There is a dedicated shower/toilet block and kitchen dining area for those in wigwams which was fantastic and we never had to queue once. The surrounding area was stunning and will definitely be returning. Would definitely recommend this site to families who want a good site without the obligatory family entertainment offered at other sites (ie the dreaded disco or even more dire talent shows we've had to sit through in the past)

Very nice site we stay in a static caravan.
We arrived on Saturday check in very easy and smooth. Our only complaint would be it was very loud on Saturday night up till about 1130. But it was quite every other night.
Daughters loved the playground which seemed to have some new equipment added either this year or late last year. They also used the splash pool, which found to be warm and usually quite after 7pm.
Shop was good some nice local products and usual price difference.
Bar/Food Bar seemed reasonable 2.70 for a pint of boddingtons. Food was good, simple menu food well prepared and no long wait. And value for money.
Local Attractions Bamburgh castle was good but not what we expected more historic house than castle inside. Parking at the top was 2.00 for all day, which we made the most off and used the beach out front which was very quite and great views to the farne islands.
Seahouse bit like Blackpool but smaller, found a good fish and chip shop and an easy cycle route from the campsite avoiding most the main roads.
Alnwick Garden was great good value for money but arrive early as the queue to buy tickets was massive.
Also visited Berwick on Tweed and Metro centre. Great site, great week

Fantastic site. They allowed a group of 3 tents to stay with 5 adults and 5 Kids. Were were pitched next to each other with masses of space. All facilities were good and clean. Kids loved the play area and splash pool. Staff very friendly and cafe provided a good Sunday lunch. We will definitely be going back. The location was good very relaxing and peaceful. There was plenty of places to visit. We went to Alnick Castle which was great for adults and kids alike. The town of Alnick also had some nice shops. There are no large supermarkets nearby so would recommend you stock up although the site shop had plenty of provisions. The site is very child friendly with a bathroom and family showers. The normal showers are a bit tight with no where to put your clothes or towels. This has been one of the best sites we have visited.

Just come back from a three day stay here. The pitch was flat and roomy. Plenty of space for children to play. Although part of a caravan site it still kept the touring feel with separate fields. Weather good most days but bar area and kids games room good for the one wet day we had. Shower areas not great but have seen worse! Definitely in need of some sprucing up. Generally kept clean which was a tough job as the site appeared quite full. Really loved the surrounding area. Visited the beach, holy island and hd a nice meal in the Bluebell Inn in Belford. Overall enjoyed it and staff very friendly. Shop on site open for a long period and stocked essentials.

Stayed here for 5 nights, 2 adults and a toddler, and had a really great time.
There are a couple of play areas for children and a large ball field for them to play on. The splash pool is lovely and warm and great for young children due to it being shallow.
The weekend was very busy and it was a little noisy in the evenings but it was always quiet by about 10pm. The weekdays were quiet all of the time, although we did go in term time so not sure what school holidays would be like!
The toilet block was a little disappointing, plenty of toilets and showers although the shower cubicles are very cramped and the toilets ran out of toilet paper 2 nights out of the 5. It was very busy at the weekend and I don't think the facilities were cleaned enough for the volume of people using them. In the week it was much better with less people on the site.
There are some 'wet rooms' in the facilities block which I would highly recommend trying to use instead of the usual showers, particularly if you want to take children in for a shower with you. These consist of a toilet, basin and open shower (just a hole in the floor type) with plenty of space.
All in all we had a fabulous time, Bamburgh and the surrounding area are stunning and I will definitely be returning.

Great campsite, facilities well maintained with family shower rooms too. Boys loved the pool and the bar and shop were excellent, (food in bar quite pricey and pretty basic - oven cooked chips and microwave lasagne style!). Staff very welcoming and accommodating. Despite being full it didn't feel overcrowded and it was very quiet on the night. Large middle green area for playing ball games and 2 good play areas. Beautiful views of holy island and budle bay, bamburgh is a short walk and worth a visit - the castle never ceases to amaze. Great new indian restaurant in seahouses (spice house) and handy co-op store if need. Further afield embleton bay is beautiful with 2x 6 mile circular walks one towards craster the other towards low newton both with great pubs at the half way point. Would definitely go back but if you want to spend more time exploring the area than making use of the facilities on site than go for a cheaper more basic site.

Lovely large park with friendly staff. Facilities nice and clean and modern. Lovely and quiet even for July. Kids loved the pool which was open all day long. Shop on site had everything you could need but was quite expensive (what camp shop isn't)
Nice walk to Bamborough. Only downside was not getting to pick my pitch - but I did book at the last minute. Would recommend and definitely return again

Just spent an enjoyable 10 nights at this site, the location is in the quiet country side and only a few minutes from Bamburgh and Seahouses and also the sandy beaches.
The site has a heated splash pool and our two small children (3 & 8)spent most mornings in there.
The staff were very friendly and it has a well stocked shop which unfortunately shuts at 5pm, our kids like an Ice cream after our evening walk.
There is an onsite restaurant and Bar which closes at 11pm but we never used this so can't comment on the food etc.
The laundry facility is very good and the main play park at the Static area is very good, the play area at the tourers is limited but there were plenty of kids all out making there own fun which kept everyone amused.
The down side to this site is the Toilet/showers, they really need a good clean and cleaned more frequently. Other campers and tourers need to clean up after themselves.
On several occasions there was no loo roll and even when you reported a blocked shower drain or urinal it could take a couple of days at least to be fixed.
We would recommend this site but be aware the toilets/showers are just acceptable.

Just had an excellent week here. Site was empty for most of week (lovely) and filled up to the gills for bank holiday weekend. Toilets spotless until weekend then it seemed the staff couldn't keep up.
Brilliant for visiting all the attractions as we did and nice and quiet when you get back. Leave the car on site and take the footpath to castle and beaches. Seahouses good for trips to islands then chippy lunch overlooking the harbour.
We didn't use the pool/shop or bar so can't comment. Will definitely be going back.
