Budle Bay Campsite Reviews

Nice campsite

Nice place, helpful staff! We needed some pegs and they lent us some along with a mallet and some guy ropes. Nice set up, bit of everything there. Would go back if we go to the area. The only thing (and its a small thing) is the shower timer is extremely short. Literally 5 seconds 🤣.

Great Site, would recommend to all

Great location with facilities for all types of camper, tent, motor home, caravan and even various lodges. Staff were very friendly and helpful even lending us an electric hook up cable. Food on site delicious, would definitely recommend the pizzas.

Stay

Hot dogs disgusting and the person on the food was rather rude to someone wanting to bring there van on site which had a roof tent!

Lovely and oeaceful

Lovely last minute site it was lovely thank you

Cracking Campsite!

Quick one night camp here and couldn’t fault it. Easy check in, great park for the kids, quiet site and clean toilets! What more could you want?!

Site's response

Wow! What more do WE want? Lovely customers like you who get what we do well! Many thanks.

Budle

Location ok. Good walk to beach. Showers tired and unkempt. Whole place needs a makeover. Seasonal pitches are on some bits overgrown. All site needs some proper TLC. Booked for 4 nights, stayed 2. Adequate.

Site's response

Thanks for the advice. I do know from correspondence that you moved to a 5 star campsite some miles off the coastal area paying 30% more but which had manicured grass, a 5 star shower block and all the bells and whistles you personally appreciate. We were not your kind of campsite. We will continue to develop and improve but in our own way.

beautiful Location

Thanks for your 5 star review. Take care

Nice location, but expensive for what you get

Located in Budle Bay, its an outstanding area, at over £400 for three people for four nights, that's expensive and I expected better facilities. Showers that don't work properly, toilets that are locked for two hours a day to clean and are the only ones on the site. A café that isn't a café, but a hole in the wall and wasn't open as advertised. Nice place, but for the money, should have been better.

Very busy the toilets and showers are clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly

There’s an outdoor cafe for breakfast on the Sunday morning before we left we got 2 very tiny buns with bacon and egg in one and Scottish sausage (looked like a Pattie ) in the other and one small cup of tea for £9 .

Okay pitch, location okay but facilities need upgrading

The site is in a very good location for exploring the area and easy to find. The pitch was a good size and the onsite café was a good feature. The site facilities are very tired and need upgrading especially when you consider the number of pitches verses the number of toilets. For the price paid facilities should be better and more up to date. Staff did keep them clean but some people are just disgusting and don't clean up after themselves. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent

Clean and tidy staff helpful and friendly. Nice and quite very peaceful just have time to chill out and relax.

Fab little site.

My only gripe is we had a pitch for van and awning. The grass on our pitch had Astro turf on it so made pegging the awning out a little harder. Great toilets and shower facilities clean quiet friendly camp site will definitely be back. Hot food to take away.

Great wee site, lovely wee break

We had a terrific time. Great pitch beside the river. Facilities are a bit tired but that didn’t detract from our experience.

Peaceful location

A very quiet and peaceful site, surrounded by trees. Good facilities and they were kept very clean. The location was great for reaching popular areas like Bamburgh and Seahouses. The on site shop was only open once during our 3 night stay, so we had to find a shop elsewhere to replenish our milk.

A lovely campsite and area to explore.

Everything was very good, except for our initial visit in the reception area on arrival. I had asked specifically for a pitch near to the facilities, but the young lady, whom I later found out had only been working with you for a week, said that there were no pitches available nearer the toilets etc. We were on pitch 90. So all im saying to aid your help with visitors, is that perhaps she should have consulted a more senior person with regard to my request as there were pitches available as I would have preferred. But overall a lovely place to visit, and I hope to come again, maybe in one of your “huts” next time in October.

Sorry about that Helen. We can do better.

Our stay

The site for the money was very basic, the cafe and bar only opened when they felt like it. The money they are making should be spent on updating a very tired site 😞

Easy going, stress free

All very easy. The few questions I had were specific to me, and dealt with by good, engaged staff.

Site's response

Glad we were able to be of help. Thanks for coming.

Great wee site - highly recommend

Lovely, clean and well equipped site well located for both A1 and local beauty spots/town. Staff were lovely and very helpful. We had a freshly made pizza from the site for dinner and it was delicious - little lemon hand wipes included as nice wee added touch!

Lovely place

Stayed 2 nights. All amenities there, food from café very tasty. Pizzas to die for. Seahouses only 10 min drive. Just frustrated dogs supposed be kept on leash, yet a few times, the same camper let dogs just runabout 🐶❤️

Great thanks!

Would stay again. Ideal location on windy day also as well sheltered.

Great location

Great location for exploring Northumberlands coast. Campsite is nice but its busy so if you want space book a bigger pitch. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Cafe onsite is good and nice place to meet other people.

Overall a lovely campsite

Overall a lovely campsite, toilets and shower block a little dated but functional. Plenty space for washing up and a small fridge and freezer available. Staff very pleasant and lovely walks close by. A lovely campsite, wonderful location for a base to go out walking. Facilities a little dated, but functional. Site became busy from the Friday and although pitch sizes are ample, it did start to feel a little cramped. A great little café selling breakfast, pizza's ice cream and the staff very friendly and helpful. A 10 min walk from the campsite to Budle Bay, then an amazing walk along the coastal route to Bamburgh beach and castle, passing through the golf course and lighthouse, with some lovely little stop points to take in the most spectacular views and coastline. Approx 4 hours gentle walk in total, there and back, with a couple of dogs, couple of tea stops, absolutely beautiful.

Loved it

It was an amazing stay. Unfortunately, my camping stove broke when we got there, but they were so kind to let us use the hut facilities to cook our meal and breakfast in the morning. Also, there is a pizza van behind the campsite using local ingredients that is a must have! Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, with clean facilities and plentiful space between campers. I would recommend visiting Budle Bay campsite!
