Hi,

I've tried searching, but most of Northumberland Coast sites I can find are large ones with clubs etc. I'm really looking for a quiet site, preferably very close to a beach which is dog-friendly. Looking for good toilet/shower facilities and hook-up. Any suggestions, please?

We're members of CC & CCC, so CLs/CSs would be fine.

Thanks, Lizzo

Hi there, Just wondering which part of Northumberland you are looking at?? I live in Alnwick and can think of a few sites near here which would be near to the beach and are not too "commercialised"! Let me know if you need further help.

The whole of the Northumberland coast is beautiful and unspoiled. You cant go wrong. Alnwick area up through Craster and Bamburgh is lovely. There are also a few sites in and around Seahouses. Take Claire up on her offer of advice. A visit to Alnwick fair and castle is also a must. Memories

Alas, according the local rag, the fair will not be running this year for anyone planning to visit.

The CC site at Berwick-on-Tweed is only a short walk down to the beach and you can walk into Berwick itself.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

Try the CC site at Old Hartley, we have stayed there many times, great beach for dogs & very central for touring the area.  Yes I do know that it is no longer Northumberland but it was when I lived in Cullercoats 1936 - 1962 !!   denisc

I know of a  site just south Berwick called the Beachcomber (next to a small golf club).  If you looking for location, location, location, this is the site as it just behind the sand dunes of Cocklawburn beach.  You could not get a better location but not sure of facilities. 

And yes it's very dog friendly.  My dearly departed pooch will testify this.

Thanks for all your useful replies. Sorry for apparent rudeness, but my PC packed up & I've only just recovered it!

I will follow up your links - and thanks for the offer Claire - that would be great.

Everyone will have their own special place, but this part of Northumberland does it for me so to speak.

You will not get a more peaceful place even at the height of the school holidays. The walks are just amazing.

This is lovely site. Its just a few miles up the road from us, took our tent here for 1 nite when we we first bought it for a "test run". Peaceful, well kept & clean. Close to beaches and lovely scenery. There is a lovely walk from Craster along the coastline to Dunstanburgh Castle.
