Tranquility
A beautiful and well managed site in a lovely part of the world. The site is immaculate and staff very welcoming. A perfect place to relax and listen to no more than the birdsong.

One of the BEST
I echo the many positive reviews for this site. We've been members for fourth- four years and this site has been on our regular visit list for as long as I can remember. Great wardens, beaches, castles, walks, bike rides, scenery and dark skies.
One of the best anywhere
Having stayed at least once almost every year since 2010 it's hard to say something new. This is one of the best sites anywhere.
The great experience starts with a brilliantly friendly and helpful welcome from the hard-working wardens. The wardens are new this year and it's amazing all they have already done. In short, they are wonderful and a great credit to the club.
This is a perfect site for so many things, including places to visit. During our most recent stay the wardens affixed to the toilet block wall, close to the entrance, a large noticeboard with 14 wonderful suggestions. Which in total would fill any stay.
For me this is a perfect site for cycling and running from. The roads are amazingly quiet - one can cycle several miles without seeing a motor vehicle. Some routes can be quite challenging, as can the wind, but there is no need to race. The uphills reveal fantastic views. I usually (not always) start routes by cycling to Eglingham. Then turn either right towards Alnwick or left towards Chatton. And explore. But there are lovely quiet routes in all directions.
Every time we stay we wish we could stay longer. And plan when we can return.
I wholly recommend this site
Great site - fab location
We were first time visitors to this site, and would highly recommend it. From the warm welcome from the wardens until we left 8 days later we had a great visit. The site is immaculately clean and had some quirky touches such as the hedgehog hotel and ‘bugs’ on the wildlife walk. Even when it filled up over the Easter weekend the facilities were very clean. The wardens were a lovely helpful couple who advised on walks to do and places to go - it’s very easy to use site as base for walks to Ingram village and beyond, or drives to go further afield. Our two Labradors also found the wardens to be lovely and enjoyed having a stroke and an ear tickle if we bumped into them on site… definitely plan to visit again!
Peaceful, and a haven for nature lovers
This is one of my favourite sites. We have recently returned home from a very relaxing stay. It was quiet when we were there, and we enjoyed lots of walks with our dogs.
It is a great site for watching nature - whether is it the birds on the nature reserve next to the site, or the hares which regularly hopped past our pitch. There are lots of walking opportunities in the area, and there was an array of printed walking routes in the information room for a donation to charity.
The site staff were friendly, and keep the site facilities immaculately clean.
It would be a good site to open all year - I would love to spend Christmas in this beautiful location
Remains a wonderful site and a firm favourite
Stayed for 3 days from the 10th March when it opened for the season and it was just the most relaxing weekend for a long time. There are new wardens in and they are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet, they have the site in great order and the shower block nipping clean.
There are now deer around the walk from the site which just gives an extra reason for choosing this site. We will be back here many times throughout the season and would recommend it to anyone for a peaceful stay, perfecttly situated for the Northumberland area.

A Firm Favourite
Just visited this site, only just open for the season.
There are new wardens at the site who are so nice and friendly and really helpful.
As usual, it was peaceful and relaxing with all of the wildlife around including a deer we saw walking down to the river on the site walk. It's a great base for exploring Northumberland, close to Wooler, Lindisfarne and the coast and only a short hop further to Coldstream.
Ingram valley is just up the road with a great dog friendly cafe.
All in all, a highly recommended site which keeps us coming back.

Despite the unfriendly reception, we found the campsite fantastic.
This was our first visit to Northumberland and we were pleasantly surprised. There is so much to see. We immediately fell in love with the scenery. The heather was in full bloom.
If you travel around like we do and check the traffic situation online in advance, it is difficult to arrive at the desired time. Wanted by the CC I mean.
We are usually a little early and understand very well that we have to wait until 1 pm. That is not a problem for us. But for these warden it is. Her words were unkind, almost rude.
Despite the unfriendly reception, we found the campsite fantastic. Perhaps another sanitary block could be added to this large campsite?
Fabulous site and area
We've visited this site almost every year since 2010. It's a favourite. The site itself is lovely. Peaceful atmosphere with plenty of space. The facilities are as good as anywhere. The wardens, and relief wardens (who live locally so are very knowledgeable but sadly this is their final year as relief wardens at this site), are wonderful - helpful and friendly and hard-working. But the main reason to visit is all which surrounds the site, both next door and further afield. It is a brilliant area for road cycling with very quite lanes in all directions. (The A697 is best avoided and easy to avoid. Generally I favour the east side of the A697.) It is also good for running, both road and offroad. There is a lovely parkrun at Alnwick (with easy motorhome parking close by) - it is called The Pastures rather than Alnwick parkrun. Wooler and Rothbury should both be visited. Motorhome parking is easy in both (free). As should the more obvious attractions such as Cragside.
Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks at this beautiful site in august at the beginning of my year long travels in my motorhome. I wanted peace and quiet to find my routine and find a place for everything. Pitch was fab, dog walk from the site was lovely, following the small but charming river. The lake up the road offers a lovely 30-40 minute circular walk. I will lastly comment on the staff. They were friendly, helpful and extremely welcoming. They were also visible, inspecting the site daily and taking time to talk to us all. All on all a rather wonderful two weeks. Thank you all.
