 Excellent location for exploring the North and Borders areas.
Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus restrictions, some attractions were off limits.
The site is well organised and laid out. We'll have to make a return visit when things are back to normal.

I'm very new to camping, only had Campervan for a month.
The owners were so helpful and my pitch was great.
We had a fabulous time and can't wait to book up again.

Note : Reviewed during Covid (could be different at other times).
The site is in a nice location Close to wooler with plenty of shops, Cafes and a few pubs. If your interested in walking then there are plenty of walks straight from site. The site is clean and looks nice at a glance but due to covid everything was closed (toilets, reception, coffee shop) apart from essentials chemical waste etc.
After a phone call on arrival we were escorted to a pitch by a bloke in a golf buggy that shouted from the buggy where the essentials are and dissapeared. I felt very abandoned at that, no ability to ask anyone about local attractions etc and apart from new arrivals no sign of any staff. The hardstandings and grass pitches felt very close together with little space between and a feeling of encroaching on each others privacy.
Luckily we were on the edge of the field so didn't have a neighbour at one side. There seemed to be no concern for walking through others pitches with people walking between and very close to other campers units including kids riding bikes between (not the owners fault, but presence from non existand warden could have helped and maybe a few plants to deter). The site was peaceful during the week and then got quite noisy on the weekend.
The site is slightly sloped but easily rectified with ramps. It is not well setup for motorhomes as you have to park in the single carriage road to fill up with water and also park in the road to empty your grey waste as there is no layby fro motorhome fillup and emptying.
Overall I had a nice holiday but felt let down by the lack of any presence of staff (I know its social distancing, but the previous site I was on had closed reception but blocked the reception entrance with a table and would come to the table and answer any questions guests had)

What a great site, turned up was escorted to our pitch by the owner, helped to get our van on and level, couldn't do enough for us what a welcome.
Had a problem with the van electrics, he turned up again with some connectors and crimping pliers.
Had a great week on site, clean toilet and shower block, didn't use the laundry facilities however they looked clean too, ducks wandering weren't a problem, they even bought ducklings around site,
Wonderful quiet site, the owners even visited all areas during the day seeing if there were any problems,
Great site
Great time had
Great owners
Would definitely recommend this site,

Pleasant enough site for our needs. Toilets were well used during the day with lots of grass tracked in, but most people were considerate and mopped the shower after use, however a squeegee type mop with no bucket isn’t really up to the job, you’re just rearranging the grass. Sinks and loos otherwise were cleaned and stocked regularly. Bit disconcerting though to be stood at the sink in my jammies for my morning wash with mums whose lads I thought were more than old enough to use the gents with their dads. No cubicles for washing so little privacy. We loved the rabbits, ducks and ducklings, but if you feed the latter expect them to waddle over at speed when it’s your dinner time. No views from our pitch, but not an issue. We had a thunderstorm and heavy rain but everywhere drained well due to the stoney ground, which reminds me, bring your rock pegs. Reception sell standard pegs and we found a collection of used ones under the hedge that looked like paperclips.
We arrived the weekend of Wooler festival and not everyone observed the quiet rule from 10. 30 that night, lots of loud chat in the early hours but subsequent nights were fine. Wooler is handy for your daily needs, and has two butchers with fab local meats and a deli with local cheeses too. Fry Fry takeaway served massive portions, artery clogging cheesy chips! The area is just beautiful, we did a boat trip to the Farne Islands with Serenity, Bamburgh Castle with its outstanding beach is a must. Cragside is fascinating, if you’re not an NT member it’s worth joining as you’ll get most of the fee back With the saving on admission. We’ll definitely visit Northumberland again, but would like to be a bit nearer the sea.

Not impressed with this campsite.
When we arrived our pitch was not vacated by the last occupant (who had gone out). We were told by the manager/owner that the customer was a regular and it was not usually a problem for them stay over! He offered us another pitch which we accepted and started to set up only to be told sorry you can’t have this pitch because it was booked with the next-door pitch by friends wishing to pitch up together. After much thought we were offered a couple of other pitches under trees which we refused. So, it was decided that we would go into the village to have lunch and they would ring us when our pitch came free. This problem is down to bad management of the site. We did get an apology but it really didn’t feel enough since we lost at least 3 hours of our day and the cost of lunch!
The village is a short walk from the site. We can definitely recommend the Milan Italian restaurant, great food, friendly and value for money. There are several other places to eat from cafes, pubs and take outs.
The site itself was poor, it was not well manicured, the toilet block was not cleaned to a high standard and when I took a shower it flooded the block! For the whole of our stay the ladies toilet block floor was wet and the showers (3 total) were always dirty looking with mud/grass.
Caravans are pitch too close together and although its pleasant to see the variety of ducks that wondered the site, they did leave rather a lot of poo around.
Lastly, although this site is advertised has having great views this is not for everyone. Only the ones on the higher ground see the lovely view.
We will not be returning.

We attended at the site because our usual site did no longer take tents, and boy what a site this was. It was a very quiet and well run site. The views from our tent pitch were brilliant and as for the local wildlife were very friendly as well. We were well surrounded by ducks at all times (they seemed to know when all meal times were held). Both the showers and toilets were very clean, as well as the washing up area were well used and kept very clean as well. I went along with my Nephew and we will be back.

Stayed here for a couple of nights during middle of May. A decent site, with a new reception building under construction, but in the interim, go to the house as you enter to get checked in. Quite a spacious area for tourers, with some hard standing and the rest on grass. Hard standing all looked pretty flat. Toilet block was a bit dated, but more than adequate. As this site is just at the edge of the town, it is really easy to find and only takes five minutes to walk up to the main street. Plenty of shops and pubs / restaurants / cafes. Wooler is a lovely little town. From the site, you can walk up to the top of Humbleton Hill, then back into town through Wooler Common. A bit of a hike up, but worth it. There will be plenty of other walks in this area, so if staying longer that would be good. The site has a number of ducks that wander about, looking for some extra feeding. They leave a bit of poo about, but it is interesting to see them go around. This is a good base if you intend to tour around the area.

Good campsite, lovely walk up Humbleton hill beautiful views. Another lovely walk was round Wooler Common. Campsite started getting very busy on the Friday but as we were leaving on the Saturday didn't really bother us. Short walk into Wooler nice little town.

Highburn House is our new favourite place to set up camp, we stayed for two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Where do I start. I met the lady who owns the site on arrival, she was lovely, she sent her husband out to show us the different spots we could set up our tent, we decided to pitch between two rows of bushes, making it really peaceful and private, the water tap and electric point were literally behind our tent so that was ideal. The toilet and shower facilities were immaculate and kept on top of all day, they were less than a minutes walk from where we were as well.
There is a park for the kids and a huge field beyond some trees which was a great place to have a kick about, play cricket, frisbee and let the dog have a good run around too, this field is easy to access through a little gate. And to to top it off the ducks and rabbits that freely roam the site were really sweet, my boys thought they were fab. All in all a fab weekend was had by all, we will definitely be returning in the future, and at £20 per night it's nothing to grumble about. We were made to feel very welcome and are very happy campers.
