What customers say
Spacious, basic rural campsite perfect for Alnwick & Northumberland coast. Praised for friendly owners, peace, and value. Clean portaloos/tap, though some noted smells. Lots of space for kids, great stargazing. No showers, but adds to simple charm.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great wild camping spot, with clean portoloos and a top host!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The owner, Lance and his friendly and enthusiastic approach. The cleanliness of the site and the views of countryside, the stars at night and Alnwick. The location is great to explore the local area and beyond, plus good amenities in Alnwick 5 minutes away. We also got to have a ride on the combine harvester which the kids loved (to be fair, I did too)!
Disliked Nothing, we're definitely going to stay again!

This is definitely true, wild camping and all the more magical for it!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful location, perfect for the kids to run about and play in, and the wildlife was magical - we were treated to sighting 3 hares at dusk! The owner was really helpful, caring and knowledgeable about family-friendly activities and restaurants in the local area. Loos were clean and well-stocked. We arrived along with Storm Floris, and Lance was really helpful, supportive and understanding when we left early after the storm ripped our tent. We'll definitely go back for longer next time.
Disliked Nothing - nothing to dislike!

Liked Chose this site as it had an 8pm arrival time. As we travel alot and come from far away. We arrived bang on 8pm. This site is only a few minutes away from The Pastures parkrun. Which is why we were in the area. We had great phone signal and can pitch next to your car. There is 2 portaloos , large bin and a water tap. Really big field. Just round the cornerů from Alnwick castle too

Clean
Frankly, we only had a few hours to spare. We were caught in a heavy rainstorm, so we packed up the tent. Besides, there was no one else there. The place was so peaceful, beautiful, quiet, and clean. The restrooms were clean. A herd of cows were watching us from the adjacent field. I liked it here; I'll come back another day when there's no storm.
Disliked There are lots of black flies and they are sticking to you.

Liked Friendly and welcoming host, peace and quiet, and lovely views over the hills. We went at the last night of the season which meant is was only 3 tents up, which added to the charm.
