Disappointing
Rather disappointing. Whilst the campsite info makes much of its proximity to the A1, it totally fails to mention that the top part is only 50 yards from the main East Coast Main Line railway! Fine if you're into trainspotting maybe, not so for everyone else. And when you've got an anxious dog it's a bit of a recipe for disaster.......
We were slightly late in arriving and found the choice of suitably sized pitches very limited. A number of the larger pitches further from the railway were coned off, we were told “for training” the next day. Also the most expensive site we stayed on during our trip - £62 for two nights. We'd planned to stay for 2 nights but left after one as our dog was becoming increasingly distressed each time a train went past. The wardens did offer me an alternative pitch but we felt it better for the dog (and other campers) to move on. Shame as we’d wanted to explore Berwick, particularly the Lowry Trail
