Campsite
New field for 2025

  • 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

'n Rustige, goed georganiseerde kampplek met ruim, gelyk grond en pragtige plattelandse uitsigte. Besoekers prys die onberispelike portaloos en vriendelike, hulpvaardige eienaars. Alhoewel basiese geriewe erken word, word die netheid en algemene instandhouding hoog aangeslaan. Die ligging is ideaal vir die verkenning van die Northumberlandkus, met baie wat 'n terugkeer besoek aanbeveel.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked The peacefulness of this site was just awesome, the views of holy island were great, clean and well kept porta loos. Enormous pitches. The owner has put a lot of work into this pop up site and was very welcoming.

Disliked I thought the sight was a little bit pricey, maybe £18/£20 per night might be more realistic

Karen C.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Everything. Especially the lady running the site. Couldn't have been friendlier.
Lots of space and consideration of site planning with gaps in between occupied sites. Feel like in the middle of nowhere But only a short drive from shops, pubs, restaurants and other places to visit. Quiet and beautiful Beaches, castles, lighthouses etc. Etc. Budget friendly stay so facilities basic obviously But well kept and clean.

Disliked Just a suggestion rather than criticism, but the fence gate ( which appears to lead towards the sea area) could do with the sign letting people know the alternative route on
