Berwick Oct
Bit noisy if sensitive to railway noise but otherwise very well located for historic Northumberland. Would revisit in a moment.

Good weekend!
We enjoyed a weekend at this site.....easy walk into Berwick and spent time watching teams and individuals preparing for a canoe race.Walked around the town walls and visited the Barracks Museum. Facilities were excellent on the site and we were very lazy about cooking and used the local fish shop delivery service.....fish was beautiful !!!!

Berwick Views
We enjoyed our few days at Berwick, the site overlooks Berwick on Tweed and nearby Spittal and some of the pitches have wonderful views. It's just a short walk down to Spittal sea front where there is a big sandy and dog friendly beach with distant views of Lindisfarne. There is a cafe and playpark at Spittal and a nice promenade. To walk to Berwick (bus also available just outside the site) cross the road outside the site, turn left and walk towards a small gateway at the end of the houses. Walk down the footpath and this takes you left along the Tweed estuary. It passes the lifeboat station, the Tower pottery, a good Spar shop and nice cafe. You'll find the lovely old Tweed bridge at the end, about fifteen minutes walk from the start. The bridge takes you straight into Berwick itself and also onto the town walls for some more interesting walks and viewpoints. Look out for the L.S. Lowry display boards for his painterly views of the area.
Lovely site very well kept
The site itself is very clean and well kept, wardens are very friendly, the site misleads you as upon driving into the last mile of the site you may feel like you have made a mistake by booking there! However drive up the hill and onto a pitch and you are welcomed by the most wonderful views of the estuary and lighthouse beyond.Â
Great!
Thanks, great site in a good location. Perfect facilities and super friendly staff. Many thanks. I may have got something wrong as I had difficulty emptying the grey water from my motorhome on the way out. I drove to the service point by the toilet block but there was no way I could use it since it was too near to the curb and its one way. My van is a standard auto trail so not unusual. I had to drive to next site with grey water which I'd have liked to have dumped prior to travel. Perhaps it was me and I got something wrong as I was in a rush to leave. Its a bit narrow. Anyway, I'd certainly stay there again and wish you many thanks. Nice town.
Good Base for a Long or Short Break
This popular site may need early booking but it is worth a visit. Many pitches have wonderful views though you may find yourself exposed to sea "breezes" at times. It is all worth it. The site is well kept and the area worth a visit. There is a bus stop at the gate if you do not want to take your car into town though parking didn't seem a problem. You can also drive down to the beach at Spittal if the weather is good, and it was for us. The trains were very close but somehow unobtrusive.
(I loved the little herb garden.)
Fog!
I stayed at this site for two nights only in September. During my stay I had nothing but fog! I had a hard job to find a pitch which I liked, I could not see how far I was from the water hole, or where it was, all because of the weather. The morning I was moving on, the fog had lifted because of rain! Hardly a favourable impression. So, I cannot truly review this site except to say I would if I could have seen it!!!
Berwick in the autumn (who could ask for more)
Arrived on the 16th Sept for eight nights, found the location to be excellent and the staff both helpful and friendly.
we had one of the perfect pitches (No77) which give us glorious views of the harbour and surrounding sites, all of which allowed us to unwind and relax like you should whilst caravanning!
The trains passed often in the weekdays less so on the weekend we found them enjoyable, we would guess both direction and train length from the noise which we sometimes could confirm by looking over at the Rail aqueduct seeing the trains going into Berwick.
We would recommend this site to all, however children may not agree.
we are looking forward to coming back soon.
Thanks for the lovely welcome.
A Great Town and a Great Touring centre for Northumbria
The route to this rather special site from A1 is straightforward. The site rises fairly steeply from Billendean road, and is contoured into several terraces. We stayed for 7 nights in September 2016, on a site at the top level in the northenmost cul de sac. Here the access drive is relatively narrow, the pitches not deep, and there's not a great deal of wiggle room. Views from many pitches, over the Tweed estuary and the North Sea, are magnificent. A gate pass is needed for vehicular access and also for exit. A bus stop outside the site is served by bus B6 which takes you to central Berwick. The helpful wardens will give you a bus timetable. Asda and Tesco supermarkets are not too far away. Although "Site Full" notices were up, the very good amenity block coped without a problem. Behind our pitch ran the east coast main railway, but we didn't find the rush of passing trains unduly noisy or intrusive. Berwick itself is mighty interesting, with its special walls walk. The site is superbly placed for virtually all the outstanding attractions of Northumbria, and in addition there are some great unspoilt sandy beaches nearby. Futhermore, the scenic east coast of Scotland is just a few miles away. We had a great week and would love to return someday.

Trains? what trains?
If anyone says they don't hear the trains they are either deaf or dead. The site and wardens are excellent some pitches have a beautiful view others look at trees. 5.38 was the first train in the morning and a further 8 trains till 09.00. The albion pub is very dog friendly and serves a lovely pint. 2 nights was long enough for me
