Thanks for your comments. It was nice meeting you and hearing how your return to camping was going. It sounded like you will be doing more of it and hopefully with us again real soon! Take care and thanks again.

my son and i found it hard going walking on the gravel roads to the toilets i have knee problems the son has hip problems other than that it is a nice quiet site one piece of advice i would give is read the site map upside down as the system is one way

struggled to walk on the gravel covered site roads due to knee and hip problems found it best to read the site map upside down to give you a better idea of were you are other than that the site is quiet and peaceful with plenty of good walking paths

Hi James. Thanks for your review and feedback re: paths around the site - this will be taken on board for sure. Hope to see you again.

Two Nighter

The site is quite cosy - the pitches are close together, but as I was in my own in my van I didn't feel overly cramped. The staff were friendly and helpful. Independent pizza wagon behind the campsite looked great but I missed the booking window so can't comment - but have taken the number for next time! Walks from the camp do involve a section - 15mins- of main-road-verge-walking - but the beaches are fabulous.

Hi Amanda. Thanks for your great review!

A new site for us

The staff were very welcoming. It seemed to be a busy site on arrival over a Bank holiday, so we were a little concerned. We need not have worried. Pitched next to the stream, that was only gentle noise we heard. Easy access to Bamburgh and Seahouses.

Budle Bay great camping!

Lovely site, pitch next to the river. Lots of hot showers and good wash up. Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to discover all that Northumberland had to offer. Even the weather was kind. I’m

Hi Emma. Thanks so much for your brilliant review! We will pass it on to our super Wardens. See you again soon!

Basic, clean, great location for visiting local area

Stayed in a cabin for 7 people, there were 2 adults, 4 kids aged 10-15 and a large dog. While the cabin was basic, it was great for the price, nice set up with a double bedroom, a 5-berth bunk room, and a kitchen diner. For basic glamping there was an under-bench fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster, more than you would normally get. Cabin was clean, there was a decking area with a picnic bench out the front. There was a eco kitchen nearby with larger fridge-freezers, washing up sink and hobs. The toilet block was clean and also near to the cabins. Lovely play park at the entrance to the site. Staff were friendly and welcoming, quite happy to help when the 13 year old locked us out of the cabin! If you are happy to drive to get off the site, the location is great for Bamburgh, Seahouses, Lindisfarne and Alnwick. However, my 3 stars for location is only because there are no easy places to walk from the site as you have to walk along a busy B-road, which made it difficult for us with 4 kids and a nervous dog.

Hi Debbie - what a lovely review. Thank you! We will certainly pass on your feedback to our site Wardens. Hope to see you again.

Busy site over half term break

Great location and has potential to be a great site, but it is lacking some upkeep. There seems to be lots of shed like buildings which I'm not sure of their purpose. The showers were lukewarm at best, push button style, a couple stayed on for maybe 10 seconds, the others more like 30 seconds. The toilet block was not clean, we were staying with our young children and we told them not to touch anything.

A lovely stay

A lovely campsite in a lovely place. We were really happy with our stay here. The staff were very friendly. A nice quiet campsite.

Hi Nicola ,thanks for your review!

Great site in the heart of Northumberland

Absolutely loved our stay here, reception staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, showers, toilets and washing up area were lovely and clean, great hard standing pitch with lots of space for awning (we booked a large pitch) don’t miss the freshly made pizza shed just up the lane near reception they’re amazing!! Ideally located for Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, Alnwick & Berwick. Will definitely be back!

Hi. What a lovely review - thank you! Can't wait to welcome you back to Budle Bay.

Nice site

Nice site. Good for local walks. Clean toilet block and showers. Staff very helpful. Artisan pizza just next to campsite do a lovely selection of pizzas and sell beer and wine if you run out. Close to bus routes. Would recommend.

Thank you for your very kind words. Much appreciated!

Great site good location

A great site, good location. Would stay again but toilets need a bit of an upgrade. There was water leaking on floor in a few of the cubicles.

Thanks for your review, Lynda, and thank you for flagging up that little issue to us - we will get to work on that right away. Hope to see you on site again soon!

Wonderful stay

We Booked for 2 nights and extended another night as it was such a lovely site and location. I would have stayed longer still but the weather took a definite turn for the worst. Lovely campsite, good clean facilities - the complimentary use of fridges and freezers was really helpful. Excellent little shop in reception and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I felt really safe during my stay (lone woman) and would definitely recommend and return again myself if in the area.

Thanks for your lovely review! I'll certainly pass it onto our Warden team.

Lovely quiet site with great pizza van

I was hiking along the coast and stayed at this campsite for one night. Reception were very friendly and I was given a lovely grassy pitch near the entrance. The facilities were good and there is a fantastic pizza van nearby - but make sure you go along early to avoid disappointment! Bamburgh is close by, as is Holy Island so a great location.
