We have just had the mis-fortune to stay on this site, and despite the wonderful photos on the booking site, all is not what it seems. Not all the pitches afford wonderful views, and the site is blighted by the mainline London to Edinburgh train line running passed it. The row of pitches at the top far end are not fit for purpose, with only a leylandii separating us from the frequent trains causing our motorhome to shake, not a wink of sleep did we get which was disappointing given the long journey from the highlands to get there.
However credit where it's due, the site was clean and tidy but the front office was closed at 10am peak checkout time, perhaps this was to avoid any complaints!
I'm very quick to compliment, and therefore saddened to have to write a negative review.
I suggest that if booking, you might phone ahead and request a better front line pitch, also 1 night is more than enough, with very few local facilities.
An unexpected delight
To be honest we had not expected such wonderful views - why I don't quite know, it is called 'Berwick Sea View'! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the dogs loved their morning walk to the beach. The town is accessible on foot where the walls are very impressive. The wardens are friendly and helpful and keep the site immaculate.

Lovely position
Had a 4 day break at this site and will be going back!
Lovely view and good position for various walks and trips to other places.
Friendly staff and friendly locals.
Dogs are welcome at most places.
Try the small backstreet brewery and cafe.
Seaside Break
We stayed 2 nights at this lovely site. We had a nice view looking out towards the lighthouse. Site was immaculate,nice and peaceful even with a train line beside us which wasn't a problem. Lovely walk in to Berwick its self which took about 30 minutes and we went to the Ramparts which was very interesting. Spittal beach is just a 5 minute walk away which is lovely and we saw some dolphins. Beach very dog friendly and clean and we also walked to the lighthouse. All in all a very lovely stay.
Enjoyable 4 night stay
A very pleasant 4 night stay at this campsite. Excellent, cheerful and helpful staff. Facilities very clean and well cared for. Restful and quiet, particularly at night despite the proximity of the railway. Wonderful location overlooking the estuary with easy 20 minute walk into town and short walk to various shopping outlets (regular bus service also from just outside site). Spittal beach and promenade very close and Berwick-upon-Tweed a lovely town with many interesting things to see and do, not least the impressive town walls. Would love to visit again.
4 Nights 14 May 2019
This was stop 6 on our multi-stop tour from Lincolnshire to Scotland (and back) with 4 nights here after a 3 hour drive from the Maragowan site. Our second stay here since leaving home in April but this time on the return journey from Scotland.
Just love the big panoramic views here, fantastic! I don't want this to be a repeat of what I said in the outward review so I will just say that we have another booking here for 21 nights later in the year. Love it!
Had some great help from the wardens when there was an issue with our caravan while we were off site one day so a big thank you to Carolyn. Wardens do a lot more than cut grass and clean toilets.
Summary: A site well worth visiting for its location and wonderful outlook. Many nice places to visit within an easy drive or bus ride. Bus stop right outside the site.
Next stop: Teesdale Barnard Castle.
3 Nights - 3 May
Lovely site, with a warm welcome from the friendly wardens. Site well maintained and central toilet block to the usual caravan standard.
Lovely views from most pitches and a great wall into the town centre, probably about 20 minutes.
Nice walk along Spittal Beach as well, all very dog friendly

3 Nights 26 April 2019
This was stop 2 on our multi-stop tour from Lincolnshire to Scotland (and back) with three nights here after an easy two hour drive from a stopover at Durham Grange.
This is a favourite site that we visit regularly. The (new to us) wardens gave us a cheery welcome and advised us which pitches were still available. Many of the pitches have really stunning views out to sea over the Tweed estuary and if you're lucky you can spot dolphins leaping as they pass by. If you don't see the dolphins you will most certainly see lots of bunnies around the site, there are so many it's like meeting the cast of Watership Down!
The site has a central toilet/shower block which is well maintained to usual club standards by the wardens. Berwick is a comfortable 20 minutes walk or catch the bus from the stop outside the site. There are some nice walks along the nearby Spittal beach (dog friendly) or around the Berwick town walls. The coastline has lots of picturesque places worth visiting and inland there are many interesting places to explore.
Summary: A lovely well maintained site to stay at for exploring Northumberland and the Scottish borders.
Next stop: Strathclyde Park.
Lovely 10day break
Lovely site wardens very friendly and helpful .First time at this site enjoyed our stay great view from site lovely walks along beach and round walls in Berwick .Just wish weather had been better but will certainly be back
Beautiful sea views from nearly every pitch.
Just come back from this lovely site and have booked straight away to go back. For us it was perfect as having two large dogs we need plenty of easily accessible walks and with the beach a few minutes walk from the site it was brilliant. We also don't like to move the Motorhome once we're set up so having the town in walking distance is also a must for us. The staff are very friendly and welcoming so all in all it made for a perfect break.
