Based on member feedback, work was completed in 2021 at River Breamish Club Campsite meaning the campsite now has 16 brand new Serviced Pitches and improvements made to a further 12 pitches, enabling better access to more pitches all year round.
River Breamish Club Campsite in Alnwick is set amid the Cheviot Hills, with excellent walking and cycling in the scenically beautiful surroundings to keep the active holiday maker happy. Walk from the caravan site into the delightful Breamish Valley where many remains from the Neolithic and Bronze Age, including hill forts and medieval villages can be seen. It is an easy walk into the quaint little village of Powburn.
The National Park Centre at Ingram is a short journey away from the River Breamish Club Campsite, which is open daily from Easter to September. Staff there will be more than happy to help you plan your stay, making sure you get the most out of this historic area. Ingram boasts a number of fine hillside walks - take a picnic along with you and enjoy the rolling green hills and countryside spread out before you. If you enjoy bird watching and nature, then be sure to visit the Branton Nature Reserve which has a bird hide and lake nearby and Farne Islands, off the Northumberland coast. Fly fishing is available at Chatton and Thrunton Long Crag, and course fishing can be enjoyed at Felton Fence Farm.
The stunning surrounding scenery and beaches can be enjoyed from many of our Northumberland campsites, including the long sandy beaches and castle at Bamburgh, are on the doorstep. The location for the Harry Potter films, Alnwick Castle, is a must-see attraction. For a really unique experience, book a reservation to have dinner in the Castle's treetop restaurant. This caravan park is sure to offer something special for everyone in the family.

Perfect - two road cycling suggestions
River Breamish Club Campsite
I have stayed here many times since 2010. I have described this as a perfect site in a perfect position, with perfect site managers (Craig and Jo).
I take advantage of this site for road cycling and also running (mostly trail).
The purpose of this review is to supply details of two road cycling routes, both of which I cycle (sometimes with variations - they can easily be shortened or lengthened) on most visits:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/26147143
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/282271207
Both can be downloaded to a garmin.
Both are undulating so require a degree of fitness - less required if using an e-bike (which I have never ridden, so I can't really comment).
I hope someone finds one or both of these worthwhile.
Beautiful site with easy access
River Breamish Club Campsite
Im just back after a week here and had a great time. The site was well maintained and the warden's friendly and helpful. Even the other campers and caravaners were friendly and welcoming which has not always been my experience in the past. Beautiful scenery around the site and easy access to towns of Wooler and Alnwick if you wanted to get out and about. We walked over to Ingram Cafe using one of the printed maps in the information room. (Unfortunately the cafe was closed the day we went, should have checked beforehand lol. ) Spotted two Adders while on site, one on the site and one on the nature walk and lots of baby toads during my visit so wildlife was in abundance. The dog swam in the river everyday and he loved it. Would definitely recommend. We will be back.

Just had 14 nights at this site. Would definitely recommend. Reason I gave one star for families is because when we were there it was very quiet. Practically all older people like ourselves. The facilities were excellent. A lovely walk round lakes just down the road and can regularly see adders!
Bamburgh castle is well worth a visit and one of the highlights for us was the puffin boat trip from sea houses

A gem of a site
River Breamish Club Campsite
What a fantastic site. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Jo the warden and filled in on how to pitch and the local area. We had a service pitch so we did not visit the facilities but if they were as well looked after as the rest of the site I’m sure they were great. The wardens on this site do a fantastic job of keeping it tidy. It is a very quiet site located next to an amazing nature reserve where you will not be disappointed with the wild life the site also has a great dog walk a mini reserve init self. I can’t say if the site is suitable for children as we don’t have any and there was none on site when we stayed but one thing to bear in mind if you do have children is that there is no playground but the area has so much to offer you are within easy distance of the coast and NT sites. And nature is on the door step. On Monday’s a fish and chip van comes to site it’s £10 per portion but it’s a good size and lovely. We will definitely visit again and thank you to Jo and Craig for a lovely well kept site it’s a credit to the club
Beautiful quiet site
River Breamish Club Campsite
First stay at Breamish after caravanning for the first time in ten years. A power cut when we arrived was a bit challenging but the wardens were really helpful. Beautiful site with excellent dog walk. Toilet block was immaculate and a decent size with a ‘spare’ toilet outside while the main was closed for cleaning. Ideal if you want a quiet away from it all rest.
