About Walkmill Campsite
Situated on 10.5 acres of Northumberland countryside, the site enjoys a private setting close to the banks of the River Coquet. This welcoming site has previously been highly commended in the North East Tourism Awards 'Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park' category. This little country hideaway has spacious grass pitches on offer for your 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. Please note that there is no access to the riverbank from the campsite. The river bank is a Natural England SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) with fishing rights. The boundary is marked by a topwire fenceline. 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. Previous runner up for the Best Dark Skies Camping and Glamping Awards.

Such a beautiful campsite and so peaceful. The pitches are spacious, and there have been trees planted, which will soon offer even more privacy for each pitch. The maintenance of the site is immaculate, and the hosts are attentive and friendly. If you are looking for a peaceful break, away from it all- this is the place 👌

Thank you for taking the time to review our campsite. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. The trees are quite an exciting venture for us, thinking about how they will develop and how the site will look over the next few years...I spend all my time looking down the tubes now to see how well they're all doing!
Lovely campsite

Had a lovely stay at this campsite! Good facilities and access to Alnwick, Warkworth etc. The hosts were very accommodating and let us stay at the top of the campsite due to significant rainfall in the days before we arrived, which made our stay much more comfortable than it would have been. Shower is good and plenty of toilets. Wise to bring change for your stay as donations for use of the shower and electricity in the cabin are requested.

We had a great time at Walkmill Campsite. The owners were really nice and very helpful. We liked that they aren't trying to squeeze loads of tents in and had nice spaced out pitches. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The shower was nice and hot. Beautiful location and well placed for exploring the wider area.
