  • Wild-style camping on a peaceful working farm opposite Lindisfarne
  • A 10-minute drive from Bamburgh and 15 minutes from Seahouses
  • Well located for Ross beach; good stopover from the A1 two miles away
Elwick Campsite is set in a peaceful location on the spectacular Northumberland coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty in the rural north east of England. This site is excellently located for trips to the holy island of Lindisfarne (a national nature reserve), visiting the castles that line the coast up to the Scottish border or exploring the many secluded beaches in the local area. These pitches have uninterrupted views over open countryside and over to Lindisfarne. This laidback spot has a no-frills approach but does have some well-maintained basic facilities, with running water, portable toilets and a chemical waste disposal tank made available to guests. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Elwick Campsite (limited to two per pitch), but as there is livestock and wildlife all around, it is essential that they are kept on a lead at all times. The farm is in an easily accessible location, about two miles from the A1 and the nearest village of Belford (for a couple of pubs, a café, a small supermarket or a fish and chip shop). The nearest beach is in Ross, roughly five minutes away by car, followed by a lovely mile-long walk along a footpath.

What customers say

A quiet, well-run site with ample, flat pitches and lovely country scenery. Guests love the spotless portaloos and welcoming, helpful hosts. While basic, facilities are very clean and well-maintained. Great for exploring the Northumberland coast; many want to return.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location, near Bamburgh, overlooking Lindisfarne, such a beautiful spot. The toilets are amazingly clean. Lovely site, would definitely stay again when next in the north east.

Disliked We were positioned at the bottom of the field which was great, some other pitches are slightly sloped which would have been more tricky…
