 We are a family of 5 (two adults, two children and a well behaved golden retriever) and we have just returned from this lovely site.
We originally chose it as the reviews were great and it was only an hours drive away from where we lived. We were not disappointed in the slightest.
We found the campsite really easily. As we drove on to the site the pitch markings and directions to the Reception were well marked. We were late arriving (1830hrs) and our name was on a board displayed in the office window along with our pitch number and a contact telephone number if we had any difficulties.
The pitch was very spacious and free from debris. My only complaint would be that it was a little undulating and on a very slight incline. But, all things considered, it was actually pretty perfect :-) We were on pitch 23 which was right next to the bins and the water - this was not a problem as it was separated by a line of bushes (we weren't bothered in the slightest by noise/smell etc).
We had hook up which was brilliant.
The shower/toilet block was about a 2-3 minute walk away and was spotlessly clean. There was never a queue even though the site was completely booked out on the Friday night. We did't use the washer/dryers but other people seemed to be using them quite happily. The washing up facilities were also great.
My two children (aged 11 and 8) loved the playground and there was plenty of open grassed areas for them to play too.
The site allows firepits - we took a folding BBQ and used this as a pit (we bought kindling and wood from the Camp shop which stocks nearly everything under the sun). Our evenings were toasty warm :-)))
It was about a 30 minute walk into the beautiful Northumbrian town of Seahouses. We had great fish and chips from a couple of the local chippies and we had a great afternoon at the Bamburgh Inn; sitting on the upper terrace looking out at the Farne Islands.
The dog had a great time too. Seahouses beach is dog friendly and we timed it just right for low tide. There was masses of space for the kids and the dog to run about and plenty of rock pools for plodging.
We did have a slight issue at first on site as there was a large group (youth football team) who caused a bit of a nuisance at the play area. The Wardens on site were FANTASTIC and helped out immediately and all was sorted VERY quickly.
Having been to many sites over the years both my husband and I agreed the the site Wardens were the BEST we have ever come across. The could not have been more helpful, even to the point of opening up to sell us more wood when we had run out.
All in all a great site in a great location. The cost for two nights was also incredibly reasonable. The site was very family and dog friendly. We WILL BE BACK!

We have just returned from an overnight stay at this site and we would recommend it to anyone.
The site itself is very well maintained the Toilets, Showers and pot washing facilities were spotless at all times with plenty of hot water.
The on site shop had all the basics and the owners/staff were very helpful and friendly.
We stayed on one of the hardstandings which has hedging planted all around giving a nice feeling of privacy but with plenty of space for an awning.
The location and views are great and a nice easy walk takes you down past Shoreston hall across to some sand dunes onto a beautiful beach.
We will definitely stay here again

I camped at Springhill Farm during a brief visit to Northumberland. I wasn't on site much so this review is brief but I was favourably impressed by the site.
Springhill Farm struck me as a very well-run and well-maintained site. The owner and her staff were very friendly and helpful so ten out of ten for them.
The site is fairly big and during my stay there were more touring caravans than tents. There's level surfaced road access for towed caravans and plenty of hardstandings.
The facilities - loos, showers etc - were very clean and there was plenty of hot water. Free use of a fridge and a freezer was a nice touch.
The grass was in good order on all the fields (some are level, others very gently sloping). Pitches are marked out and numbered and are generous in size. There is EHU on most fields. The pitching area I used was tidy, spacious and uncrowded and I was able to park my car right beside my tent.
The site has an uncluttered and spacious feel and quite a lot of trees have been planted so there is shelter from the wind. However, the fields furthest from the main facilities block are quite exposed to the weather.
Springhill Farm is remote from roads so there is no traffic noise. The curfew is 11pm and the campsite was very quiet at night during my visit (the site seems to cater for families rather than youthful parties).
I recommend Springhill and would certainly stay there again if visiting that part of Northumberland.

Springhill was a cracking little find, the pitches are a good size and well spaced, on hard standing. The site has a small shop with infrequent opening times, as well as the essentials you can hire a fire pit and buy wood.
The toilets and wash basins were very clean and tidy, although there could have been some more showers, after 3 visits found them all full, I gave up so I couldn't say what they were like to use.
The location is excellent, within half a mile there are some outstanding beaches and the views from the site are outstanding. All the staff were friendly and the site was maintained to a very high standard.
The tent pitches were on a different field but that looked level and well spaced. There were also several wooden pods which would be great for a group or large family, as the pods all sit together in the front of the site by the shop.
Overall, a nice site in a good position and great part of the country, with lots to see and do nearby.

Stayed here for a week during our summer holidays and absolutely fell in love with the area, so much that we will be back again next year, just not to this site.
Springhill is a beautiful site in a stunning area and we had a great holiday. It is almost perfect in fact but for one major drawback - there are nowhere near enough facilities for the number of pitches.
For a site of this size there are simply not enough toilets and barely enough showers. Mens = 2 toilets, 2 urinals and four showers. Womens = 4 toilets and 4 showers. There was no occasion in the week where I was able to go to the toilet without queuing first (personally I am not a fan of that 'warm-seat' feeling but it's even worse when you've just met the person who left it behind!) and I only managed to avoid queuing for a shower by going at odd times of the day. It is such a shame because in every other sense the site is completely perfect - great size pitches, lovely atmosphere, perfect location.
If you don't use a site's facilities then this is the best site in the area by far (trust me, we visited them all!) but if you do, then this one is best avoided unfortunately.

How can I start this, it is the second time that my nephew and I have visited this site, and the last time we visited was the end of last year during the half term holiday (winter!) We did say we would come back in the summer, so we booked in from Tuesday to Thursday (this week) and were even happier on our return visit. The toilet and showers were first class and washing up of the dishes was very easy as well, with ample room to do this task, even my nephew enjoyed this task. We were made very welcome indeed. The weather was kind to us as well, so this time we needed the sun block, the park was as great addition to Dylan, and he had to be called back to help out with the cooking, his excuse, he just lost track of the time (Hmmmmm)
Mind you it was very busy but that did not stop the young girl that on reception from helping me out when it was found that I had forgotten a small loaf. Again we will return next year so we will look forward to seeing you all then Goodbye and thank you from two very happy campers

We have camped at this site twice now and couldn't fault it. The toilets and showers are clean and there is even a bath. There is an area for pot washing which is always clean and tidy too. The site benefits from an amazing location on the Northumberland coast. You can see the sea from the site and at night the nearby Bamburgh Castle can be seen lit up in the distance. We have visited during term time and during the summer holidays and found it to be a peaceful site on both occasions. You can also hire a fire pit so take your marshmallows for toasting. The main road in seahouses is only a 15/20 minute walk away where you can get some lovely fish and chips too. We will definitely be back. And just one tip for people not requiring electric, ring up to check availability as the website was showing the site to be full, but I rang up anyway and they had a few non electric pitches available.

We normally stay at Seafield Caravan Park but its far too expensive at this time of year in a motorhome and as we had a tent this time we wanted to try Springfield Farm just outside Seahouses. No need to repeat other reviews info as the facilities are excellent and the management first class. What we like about this site is that its lovely and quiet at night and best of all you can walk to the beach along a quiet country lane which is almost traffic free and we timed it. Exactly 10 minutes from the Camp site to the sand dunes and one of the best beeches in the UK. Directions leave the camp site turn LEFT and follow the lane to the coast road. Go right across the road and follow the track to the sea. If you want to go for a few drinks or the shops then follow the same route and turn right at the main road and its another five minutes to Seahouses. We stayed in a Tent on the camping field which has views of Bambrough Castle and it was prefect apart from being located next to a guy who had the loudest snore I've every had the displeasure of listening to. Every night. Not the sites fault but if you are in a tent find a place on your own as its quite a big field. Make sure you visit the Farn Islands Trips and then head for the Olde Ship Hotel at the harbour which is a tremendous pub. Don't miss it.

This was our first adventure in the touring world. The hard standing pitches are of good size. We had pitch c1 and it had hedges one side and shrubs and small trees other side making it very private. It was a bit noisy at night off the campers but that's what campings about all outdoors. Found site very well kept and clean. Showers and toilets nice and clean with plenty hot water. Small shop selling bits and bobs. Seahouses and rest of coast line 5 min drive, wouldn't fancy walking it on those country lanes. Had a good w/end and will go back soon

Clean well maintained campsite with good facilities and pleasant views out to sea towards the Farne Islands and towards Bamburgh Castle.
Convenient location, only 10 -15 minutes walk from the nearest Bus Stop, giving easy access to the Northumberland coastal bus services (Arriva X18 or Travelsure 418). There are also connections to visit Holy Island (Lindisfarne) using Perryman’s bus service 477 from Berwick.
The site is about 20-30 minute walk from the centre of Seahouses, via a footpath along the disused railway line. Here you can find shops, including a village supermarket staying open into the evenings, takeaways and restaurants, as well as at least three pubs selling Real Ale. Boat trips are available from the harbour to the Farne Islands, which are well worth a visit if you are interested in observing seabirds, in particular puffins. We went in July and saw several hundreds of birds.
The campsite prices are bit expensive, especially if, like us, you only have a small 2 man tent, do not have a car, and do not require an electric pickup, since the prices are per plot. However it is a good location and well run, so very popular and the site is often fully booked.
