The handbook and website comments regarding site entrance should be heeded. The single width sloping entrance road has very limited space for units waiting to book in. Perhaps the club should allocate pitches on this site to alleviate rush to get to site early. This would avoid queuing outside the site entrance, followed by the sometimes rather unseemly scramble and mayhem on site in the rush for pitches.
We fortunately arrived on a quiet day, the wardens were friendly, helpful and efficient. The site was fairly full so the warden highlighted 2-3 pitches on our site map that would be suitable for our outfit. This is not a site to drive around endlessly looking for the perfect pitch, it has slopping corners, tight bends and cull-de-sacs that may be difficult to reverse out of. The site roads are narrow and because the pitch sizes are small there is not very much room to manoeuvre onto a lot of the pitches. The club probably first owned this site when outfits were half the size, judging by the black and white photographs in reception.
The site itself is nice enough and in a very good location for visits to Berwick. It is a safe and fairly easy walk into the town. However we felt it would not be the ideal pace for those just wanting to sit outside and relax.
Wardens deserve the credit
An excellently maintained site. The wardens blocked access to early arrivals as the site was full and the access road narrow. We noticed the wardens were available for late arrivals and in good spirits, ensured all were bedded in.
The site itself is tight with a narrow access and internal road. It seems the CMC has crammed in as many pitches as possible although there were patches of grass and hedges. There are views of the bay. The East Coast main railway line is adjacent to the site so you do get the noise from the trains.
Berwick is a lovely town and well worth the trip. We watched a seal bathing in the river by the old bridge several days running. In addition to walking along the River Tweed, we also drove through gorgeous scenery to where it rises.
Despite the train noise - which didn't bother us that much - it was one of only a few sites where we wished we had booked a longer stay.

Lovely site
Visited here April 2018 for 2 nights with my wife, as were new too caravanning and touring we had questions and the guy on reception was very helpful, friendly and generally helpful.nice guy.
We had an amazing sea view and wasn't too far from the facilities block, which was excellent, spotless,warm,and modern facilities.
The arrival, booking in and pitching was quick and made easy, we had everything explained(we said we were newbies),and the exit was the same.
We will definitely return too this site and recommend highly
Too submit this review I have too rate family facilities, and I can't, because I wasn't travelling with children, I wasn't looking for children/family facilities, but sea,fresh air,nature, the outdoors shud be good for any family
A great site
Berwick Seaview is a great site situated a 30 minute walk to Berwick upon Tweed. The walled town is well worth a visit and a walk around the walls are a must. Spittal beach and promenade is a 5 minute walk from the campsite and good for both children and dogs. Wildlife is in abundance including seals, birds and rabbits. The wardens are all friendly and the site is clean and tidy. Pitches are well spaced out and most have a sea view. The access road is little steep on entry and longer units will need to take it slowly as its easy to rub the steady legs on the road. The main rail line is just behind the boundary wall and although very close they are not that noisy as they are electric. This site is well worth a visit and we will be returning.
Above And Beyond Customer Support
Always a wonderful place to visit we were nearing the end of our stay on this beutiful site when my wife was involved in a serious hit and run accident in the centre of Berwick causing her some very nasty injuries. On hearing of our problem, nothing was to much trouble for the warden team we were allowed to extend our booking during a busy period and offered a move closer to the blocks facilities.
Just to add yet another kindness the duty warden arrived at the caravan with a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a card from the warden team to wish my wife a speedy recovery.
Now that’s what I call above and beyond any job description, a sincere thank you to all concerned.
First time visit
Nice open site plenty space between pitches,excellent clean facilities. Unusual location close to beach and near to Berwick. Only drawback is adjacent to busy high speed rail link. Speed bumps on approach to campsite caution require. Nice to see wild bunnies running about site.
Wonderful site in an excellent location.
I spent six nights here, initially through snow and storms, and it was so cold the first night that the water taps at the service points froze! However, the toilet blocks were toasty warm and as clean as ever and all other services worked perfectly.
The wardens couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and kindly loaned me a couple of tools to help with some technical issues I was having.
Wonderful location, particularly for families as it's a short stroll to the beach and lots to do, with an excellent choice of shops almost on the doorstep.
Some noise from the railway track right behind the site but lovely to watch the trains speed by.
A good selection of pitches and all with a great view out to sea.
I didn't want to leave and I'll definitely be back!
Good To Be Back
We arrived at Seaview on Friday the 16th March which was the first day of the new season. The drive up north from our overnight stop at Durham was pretty horrendous in strong gusting wind and heavy rain. Disappointingly this site had been closed through the winter, we had enjoyed the previous two Christmases here. Wardens Steve and Mark assisted by Lisa and Keith are now running this site and gave us a very warm welcome on what was a particularly cold and miserable day.
The Saturday and Sunday of that first weekend saw snow, hail and subfreezing temperatures as the strong winds continued. Despite the terrible weather the site was kept running smoothly with no problems and the wardens were even out after dark salting paths and steps.
The remainder of our ten night stay was in much nicer weather and we were able to admire the stunning view from this site. The Northumberland coast is a beautiful area and there are lots of interesting places to visit within easy reach with Cragside being one of our favourites. We had an enjoyable picnic by the lake there in the wintery sun.
We have further bookings at Seaview later in the year but our first stay of the season will be quite memorable due to the extreme weather. Well done to the wardens for coping so well and being such a lot of fun.
Great view - great site
Arrived on site the day there were “Amber” warnings for snow in the NW & NE. Second, annual, visit. Only a few others on site and first 2 days too cold to go far - the wind was fierce and chill factor huge. Spent a few hours in the Albion pub across the road. Dog friendly and local prices (not tourist). It became my local on quite a few more nights. The rest of the week spent on the beaches along the coast from Alnmouth to Berwick with Pixie (Border Collie).
Great site, lovely views, clean and tidy. Will be back again next year.
Seaside perfect
Just returned from another perfect weekend in Berwick. Every time we visit this location, it just gets better. Can't fault the view's. The site is clean and walkable to most of what you might need. It does have a rail line close by, we had no issues with the train, but did have issues with repairs being done Sunday morning at 3am. Still, not the fault of the site.
Cant wait to return, sure wish it was open all year
