What visitors say
Great spot. We camped 1 night in our tent. Amenities were basic but clean. Showers were nice and hot. We had bike issues so asked to move our booking to the following day with no issues - amazing! Bar open daily at 5pm. Food available Friday & Saturday only. Note for cyclists - no place to charge phones as no common room so make sure you have a battery etc.

We were struggling to find a campsite which would take tents at the start of the school holidays (July 2026) so managed to book a bell tent here. Then contacted the site and they found us a pitch for our own tent (even though the website showed it fully booked) so was very pleased. Really enjoyed our stay as there was lots of space, and it was great to see lots of kids playing cricket, rounders and football, and riding their bikes. The bar, pizzas and food trucks were a welcome addition too. The one downside is the basic shower and toilet facilities. They are kept very clean and there were enough, but there is no where to get dressed once you get out the shower. They are also very draughty when it’s windy! So you need flip flops or crocs and a dressing gown or dry robe! Also only one basin for teeth cleaning and shaving on the whole site! The couple running this site obviously work very hard and are constantly improving the facilities so this could change over time.

A large site that is spread out with a relaxed feel. A non electric campervan pitch was £25pn. Toilets & showers are unisex shacks - clean enough but very basic & the string lights weren’t working when we were there so you needed a torch! The Gin Tin bar was a nice touch alongside the food hut (which wasn’t open as we were there Tuesday/Wednesday). We cycled into Alnwick and had a beer at the Tree House restaurant in the grounds of Alnwick Castle.

Our first time camping ever and wow what a start! This campsite was perfect for us, a family of 4. We were pitched close to the children’s play area, bar and eating tables. It was clean and has everything you needed, which was the main thing for us. We love the feel of this campsite, small and beautifully run and we can’t wait to return next year ❤️
