 Planned to stay 3 nights, only ended up staying one! Nice peaceful campsite, just over a sand dune to the beach, people very friendly and toilets clean. However, just on the coast - too windy for us, about 8 miles from a town or pub - a little bit remote for us. With a 5 year old, and the wind, it wasn't ideal.
The beach had 2 warning signs - one for localised quicksand and the other to avoid touching metal objects as an ex mod firing range - I know these signs are for safely, but it was a little off-putting. I imagine a larger group with older children to cycle or horse ride and party together would be fine, but the wind and weather forecast expecting rain, made up our mind to move on.

Had a fab three night break at Beachcomber Camp Site. Although it was very cold and rained an awful lot. The site is in a fantastic location on the Northumberland coast with the attractions of Holy Island and Berwick Upon Tweed only a few miles away.
The site itself is fairly basic, but the toilet blocks and dishwashing / laundry areas were clean. There's only 5 elec pitches, so make sure you book early if you need one of these.
The ground is quite uneven and so finding a level spot could be tricky if the site was busy.
There are a couple of pubs nearby which serve food (the Lindisfarne Inn is particularly good) and it isn't far to Berwick for stocking up on the essentials.
The shop on site is small and the opening times are limited to a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon. This also means that there isn't necessarily anyone around when you arrive.
Overall: a fab site in a lovely location and well worth a visit. We'll certainly be back (although we'll wait for the weather to pick up!)

We've just dragged ourselves away from a great weekend away at Beachcomber.
This is a lovely friendly small site with fairly basic but clean and well maintained facilities. The small shop is well stocked with the essentials considering the size of the site.
There is plenty to do on and around the site. There's the biggest sandy beach I've ever seen just over the other side of the sand dunes, which provide shelter to the site from the North Sea winds. On the other side of the site there's a well maintained and popular golf course. On site there are stables providing horse riding. We will be back with our dog (it's doggy heaven)in the sunnier months to enjoy these facilities to the full.
There are also plenty of places to visit. We visited Seahouses and Holy Island, which are steeped in ancient history, for the oldies like us, and provides for the younger generation too, with commercial attractions and the usual seaside facilities. Berwick is a lovely market town too, providing adequate facilities for a shopping day or two, and some very nice walks around the town walls.

Very remote and peaceful site - at the end of a single track road through a golf course and fields of sheep and just over the dunes from an enormous beach, but only 10 minutes drive from the A1 so easy to reach. Lovely coastal walk from here to Lindisfarne, but be warned, it took us over three hours.
Very friendly welcome. No marked pitches (except for pitches with EHU) and the site was three quarters empty so plenty of space.
The facilities are a bit basic but clean and there was plenty of hot water, for showers and washing up. The (small) shop is only open for a few hours a day, which was bit inconvenient for changing ice blocks in the freezer provided.
If the shop was open for longer and there were a couple more loos and showers, this would just about be my ideal site, as I like them quiet!

Just as I like it. No frills, low cost and an excellent, isolated location. Read some reviews about dirty toilets etc, nothing of the sort while I was there. Best of all - no patronising signs (don`t do this, don`t do that, ask permission etc.) and no drunks with car stereos playing into the early hours. Quite civilised. Recommended.

I've just returned to 'reality' after a 9 night stay at The Beachcomber Site and I have to say I'm gutted - I didn't want to leave!
From a warm greeting on arrival to hugs when leaving - the hosts are VERY friendly, approachable and helpful. John, Sheila & Jenny have made the site what it is, with their relaxed and informal attitude to kids, dogs and some adults ha ha!
The facilities are clean, well maintained and modern and I fail to see what anyone can complain about. The fact that the site was full (without being over-crowded) for my entire 9 nights and a lot of the campers were people returning after previous visits says a lot - people don't go back to somewhere they're not happy, that's a fact!
The stables & horses were clean and well maintained with rides out along the beach and/or lessons available, and their care and attention to riders of any level is first class. People of all ages were allowed to muck in and help out to their hearts desire but safety was monitored at all times.
For a 'proper' family holiday, where the adults play and interact with the kids instead of them disappearing to some arcade, for the beach sports people or someone that just wants some peace and relaxation - I can't recommend this place highly enough - it's heaven on earth!

Lovely camp site, cheap, choose your own pitch (the best one for tents is beside the wall a the back right hand corner). Huge beach that you can walk all the way to the causeway. Or walk out to the water but it does take half an hour to do so when the tide is out(dog loved it) Great for sand yachts, surfing or dune bombing (at the far-ish left hand side of the beach ) Although you may have to queue for a warm shower in the heated toilets in the morning, you can control the temperature unlike some campsites. Horse riding for the kids. Overall friendly, good fun

Enjoyed our stay here although the first night was very, very windy!
The site is basic but the facilities are good with hot water at all times of the day and night. The showers were fine although the floor in the utility block did tend to get a bit gritty by the end of the day. It's a pretty relaxed site, we were told to pitch where we liked. Plenty of room for kids to play and a short hop over the dunes to the beach.
Obviously popular as from the Monday evening onwards the owner had his full sign up.
We'll certainly be visiting Beachcomber again in the future.

Peaceful campsite on the coast.
Enjoyed our stay at the Beachcomber site, even when full tents are still well spaced.
The beach is a excellent even if you need the binoculars to see the sea
Only issues were the distance from a pub although I imagine the local golf course has a good 19th and is working distance and the shower blocks could do with an upgrade but that said well worth a visit.

Really nice site. Not too busy even when full. Great facilities, loads of hot water (boiling hot - take your marigolds!) It's near the beach, but the sea is miles away and it's not really the sort of beach you'd want to spend the day on. Good for romantic dusky walks. Really nice chilled out owner who was really helpful. Shop that sold milk, sausages and bacon and ice creams (what more do you want?) Only downside, bit out of the way so no pub or village to walk to.
