First stay here, 7 nights from 5th July. Access from either north or south is a doddle but edges of approach road are a little bumpy so you need to take it slow if you meet anything oncoming. Surprised to see a council waste transfer station next to site but apart from the bleep of reversing vehicles during the working day, it was not too intrusive. Our stay coincided with the long dry period of weather and obviously the grass was parched as a result. This is the first site we have been on for a long time that has no entry/exit barriers of any sort and as mentioned previously, those that know this can abuse the arrival time rule and just pitch up. Site was pretty full during our stay but we were lucky to get a nicely located hard standing. All pitches cost the same, grass or hard standing but are a good size and pretty level. We actually liked the slightly random site layout as to the usual regimented rows. The single amenity block was to the usual club standard and never seemed full despite the number on site. The office had the usual essentials and the greeting/information from the (stand in) wardens was first class. Nice dog walking around the site but were warned of Adder sitings although we never saw any. For those with children there are plenty of warning about the dangers of deep water nearby but with the very dry period, this did not pose as much of a risk. There is no childrens play area. Nearest shop is on the main road at the petrol station but there is no pub/eatery within walking distance. Great access into the Cheviot hills, down to Alnwick or over to the coast. The Ship Inn at Low Newton is a hidden (well it used to be!) gem. Will be back as we still have plenty to visit.
