Situated on 10.5 acres of Northumberland countryside, the site enjoys a private setting close to the banks of the River Coquet. This little country hideaway has spacious grass pitches for your tent, roof tent, caravan, motorhome or campervan with electric hook-ups available. There's also a pleasant location situated in the bottom field in the crook of the river as an alternative if you don't need electric. Also situated in the bottom field is the main camping strip which offers spacious grass pitches in an idyllic setting running parallel to the River Coquet.

The boundary is marked by a topwire fenceline. The site has also previously won Silver in the North East Tourism Awards in the Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park Category! Fire pits are available to hire and BBQs are allowed onsite but must be kept raised from the ground. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Top Circle)Aug 2025

On arrival we were greeted by Nick he was the perfect host, took the time to explain everything about the site and was friendly, polite and informative. The pitch was perfect with plenty of room and well kept, we were surrounded by nature and the site was very eco orientated . We were perfectly situated to meet our friends who were staying in Walkworth . That visited us at the site on Thursday evening and were also made welcome. This is an amazing place to spend a few days or longer if you are looking for a peaceful place surrounded by nature and convenient to visit the local villages and coastal towns. We will return for sure and spend longer in this little slice of paradise. Thank you both for a lovely stay!!

Amazing place

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

What a wonderful place this was, great signage to being welcomed by the host, very friendly and showed me around. I was amazed at how much they offer from a shop with fresh foods and snacks to the showers inside and outside, toilets and tv room and library. A clever wash space for your bowls etc. My favourite a doggy station which my dog loved after his walk along the beach. The place is well looked after and offers a place to stay for all different people, tents, campers, motorhomes. I had the best time here and my dog really enjoyed his stay. I felt very welcome and I am going back next month. Thank you to the hosts for such a brilliant stay.

A note from the site themselves...

At our campsite, we are all about promoting camping as it should be in a natural environment. Walkmill is a secluded and peaceful location with an abundance of wildlife. We have planted a large number of saplings as part of the Great Northumberland Forest Scheme.

This has helped to define some of the pitches and also created some woodland corridors which we will enjoy watching develop over the next few years.

The meadow in the late spring, early summer adds to the ambiance of the site. It's a delight for enthusiastic individuals and families who truly appreciate the beauty of the countryside. We look forward to welcoming you soon, Claire
