This site has been improved so much since our visit many years ago. JUST LIKE IT SAID ON THE TIN. Peace full, busy . Very well managed. great dog walks, Good people walks, well Staffed, We will be back if we can grab a pitch!!
We will be back
We recently took advantage of the late availability online booking system when our plans in Scotland changed suddenly. River Beamish had availability and so we booked a one night stopover there on the way home to Lincolnshire.
The welcome we received on arrival was lovely and the site is beautifully peaceful and tucked away. The new shower block is spotless and modern and the whole site is immaculate. We will definitely return with our bicycles to investigate this fascinating area.
Lovely peaceful location in the Northumberland countryside.
Site is in a lovely peaceful location within Northumberland. Forty-Five minutes from the coast and twenty minutes from Alnwick and Cragside, Rothbury. Chillingham Castle is a lovely place to visit with a good chance of meeting Lord Wakefield the owner.
Site has good facilities and staff were friendly and helpful. A good Londis shop close by at the garage in Powburn but no local pub.
Excellent location
Great site, great location for visiting many places in Northumberland. Great land of castles and sandy beaches. The only issue was supermarkets are plentiful in Alnwick, but that is quite a journey although we didn’t find it an issue if we planned our meals ahead. Close by there is huge potential for walks and cycle rides. Will be returning, probably in May or June to see the puffins on the Farne Islands. (Most had gone when we visited at the start of August). Cragside is amazing!
Clean site but…
The facilities are faultless: clean toilets and showers and well maintained pitches. However I didn’t feel particularly welcome when I arrived as the warden was quite short when I enquired if there were two pitches next door to each other (travelling with my dustier and her family). I was playing football with my nephew and a fellow camper warned me that if the wardens caught us we’d be told off. The wardens didn’t appear to enjoy being there which made me feel like I couldn’t relax - not what you want on holiday! There is also an amazing restaurant nearby which wasn’t in any of the literature or in the information hut, which is a real shame because it is excellent (it’s called The Bosk and is in Branton which is a 15 minute walk away.)
A gem of a site.
Stayed for 3 nights in Aug 2021, after most of the Covid restrictions had been lifted and the site felt very much like it had been pre-pandemic.
Lovely wardens, spotless facilities, and a really well kept site with nice, well spaced out pitches.
Great location for walking straight from the site or for visiting Alnwick or Rothbury.

Great base for exploring
A well located site, quietly hidden away, but within easy distance from a plethora of regional attractions, beautiful countryside and dramatic coastline. There is good access to a river walk. The facilities are some of the best we have encountered; modern, spacious and clean and within easy reach of all pitches. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great, short stay.
Consistently good
We've been here before, are here again, and indeed have booked for the Autumn. So you can take it that we like it!
Well kept, good pitches, well planned and designed layout so you're not too close to each other, facilities block clean and modern and the cherry on top - the wardens are friendly and helpful.
Within easy striking distance of lots of activities - perfect for a few days away. We've also used it as a stopover on longer journeys to Scotland.
Our First visit
This is a wonderful site. In a lovely area it is central to visiting both the beaches and attractions.
The wardens are welcoming and very helpful. The only downside is that it is adjacent to an industrial complex.

First stay in Northumberland
What a lovely part of the country. The site is tucked away nicely and easily accessed. Its located centrally to most of the main places of interest. The wardens were very good and the site was spotless and all the facilities are excellent. We will be returning to the site as in the week we were there we just run out of time to see all the places we wanted to see.
