    Nice small, very neat site. All grass on a slope. We arrived after rain and struggled as soon as the front (drive) wheels hit the grass. We used the gravel entrance area to get some momentum to reverse up to the closest (probably most level too) pitch. Should be fine if it's dry.

    Perfect little stop over, bins, water, waste, and elsan, with a view, what more do you need. Very easy arrive, post £12 into post box, job done. Very neatly mown field with a slope so chocks needed. We parked at the bottom by the road but weren't disturbed, highly recommend.

    Great site for a Motorhome stopover. A slightly sloping mown grassy field with great views. Just put £12 in the blue postbox. Sign says Motorhomes Welcome

    Brilliant site! Everything you need :)

    Great night! We arrived late, contacted the property over webform and wot an answer in less than 30min. We agreed to leave £12 at the Blue Postbox. Amazing! And super cool grass set up.

  • 5/5

    Great site for a motorhome stopover. Water and waste available. Just put £12 into the blue postbox on the left as you go through the gate.

    Super nette Kommunikation mit Besitzer über Formular auf der Website, extrem schnelle Antwort das Platz ist. Es waren am Ende 4 Vans an einem Sonntagabend mit super viel Platz, frischer Grünfläche und Wasserauffüllung im Preis! Schöner Sonnenuntergang inklusive. Keine Toilette oder Ähnliches, aber Mülleimer. 15€ über Box zu zahlen. Empfehlenswert!

    Posto memorabile e proprietario super gentile! Piazzole bellissime e super tranquille con un panorama stupendo. Acque nere e carico acqua potabile. Ottimo per 12£

    Dieser Stellplatz ist wirklich traumhaft. Man steht auf Gras (großteils nicht ganz eben) mit viel Abstand zu den Nachbarn, hat einen schönen Ausblick auf Landschaft und Pferde. Es gibt Mülltonnen, Trinkwasser und Chemietoilettenentsorgung. Der Besitzer war sehr freundlich. Trotz Hauptsaison konnten wir spontan hier eine Platz finden.

  • 5/5

    Amazing little gem of a site! Great views over Alnwick valley. Nice & quiet on a lovely green grass site. Owner & dog both very friendly. Absolute steal for the price. Great having drinking water, and grey & black disposal. Shilbottle village lovely too. We’ll be back!

  • 5/5

    Ein sehr schöner und ruhiger Platz. Wir stehen heute hier und genießen die gepflegte Wiese. Alle Plätze sind auf Gras. Leicht abschüssig, aber mit normalen Auffahrkeilen gut auszugleichen. Wunderbarer Blick auf die sanften Hügel der umliegenden Landschaft. Selbst jetzt in der Hochsaison ist wenig los.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely beautifully idyllic spot! We stayed with a rooftop tent for 2 nights. There is fresh drinking water, grey and black water disposal, bins and only £12 per night which you just post into a letterbox. There is a little noise from the roadside but this didn’t affect our sleep quality in any way! We basically had the whole field to ourselves. It’s a really quiet, calm and peaceful environment ? added bonus is the 20 mins walk through the fields into Shilbottle village which has an Indian restaurant, a pub, a cafe and a Morrisons. Perfect location for a park up!

    Fijne rustige stille plek. Wel blokken nodig om camper pas te zetten. Drinkbaar water voorzien (kraantje) en voorzieningen voor toilet leeg te maken en spoelen. Met de auto niet ver van Alnwick kasteel en centrum. Dichtbij kasteel gratis parking (long stay).

  • 5/5

    Just what we need more of. Very well kept, elsan disposal, fresh water and rubbish bins. Good location for all the local attractions.

  • 4/5

    Un prix raisonnable dans un endroit sympa. Des toilettes sèches seraient vraiment un plus.

  • 5/5

    Lovely, well kept site, very close to Alnwick. Lovely views and very peaceful

  • 5/5

    Nous avons adoré cet endroit en libre service où nous avons passé une nuit. Certains emplacements se trouvent légèrement en pente mais les places ont le mérite d’être larges et très bien délimitées.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful site. Fantastic views. Just pulled up this evening. It's £12 to stay, just post money in the blue box. Water and waste and lovely field, mowed and clean. Local village nearby. Very relaxing and would definitely stop again. Dog loves the countryside walks. Just a shame we have to go tomorrow as a few days here would be just magic.

    sosta camper vicino al castello di Alnwick su prato un po' in discesa ma facilmente adattabile ottima vista

  • 5/5

    Friendly welcome, we had the field practically to ourselves. Fresh water, elsan / grey water Planned one night and stayed two - absolutely recommendable - there should be more places like this in the UK.

  • 5/5

    June 2024. Perfect! We have just spent 3 nights here. A well kept meadow with plenty of space. Far reaching views to the West over Alnwick. Simple but effective facilities for an off grid stay. We will be back. Thanks for having us. A wee bit of local road noise but quiet at night. £12 honesty box no need to book. 12+ places.

  • 5/5

    A perfect spot for a couple of nights. Well kept field with water and disposal . Easy access from A1, 3 miles from Alnwick and short walk/cycle ride to village where there are excellent local facilities. Nice views. We will definitely stay again.

  • 5/5

    An excellent, low key, stop over, with good facilities, at a reasonable price. Field had been mown, but was waterlogged, on our visit. Test before driving on to the grass. Handy for local sightseeing. We phoned ahead of our visit.

  • 5/5

    Sehr guter und günstiger Platz :)

  • 5/5

    Awesome little field to camp in goof price at £12 for the night Fresh water, toilet disposal ideal for quick little stop over

  • 5/5

    Tranquil spot on private farmland, where you can enjoy fabulous views over the surrounding fields. Fresh eggs are available to buy daily, so bring a bit of change!

  • 5/5

    Emplacements très grands pour une dizaine de véhicules à deux pas de l'A1. Tout pour être autonome en fourgon. Merci à Anthony pour cette super initiative

  • 5/5

    Sehr guter, sauberer, ruhiger Ort für eine Nacht. Pub und Café fussläufig im Ort. Ca. 20 Minuten. Bus zum Meer 8 Minuten. Müll und Toi-Entsorgung plus Frischwasser. 12 Pfund. Bamburgh Castle 30 Minuten mit dem Auto.

  • 4/5

    très joli spot, très calme, nous étions 4-5 camping cars, il y a au moins 10 pitchs disponibles. le terrain est un peu en pente. j avais appelé Anthony avant pour m'assurer qu il y avait de la place. On peut faire le plein d eau potable et vider les eaux noires, un peu moins pratique pour les eaux grises si vous n avez pas de tuyau flexible pour les évacuer. Magnifique coucher de soleil ! 12 £

  • 5/5

    Un immense Merci à Anthony pour mettre à disposition des camping caristes un bout de sa propriété. J'adore le concept, vous venez et repartez, il y a tout le minimum nécessaire pour être autonome, et le tout basé sur l'honnêteté via la bluebox. Nous y avons passé une très belle nuit au milieu des chevaux. Thank you Sir!

  • 5/5

    très bonne nuit au calme avec tous les services. attention cependant avec la pluie des derniers jours c'est facile de s embourber.

  • 5/5

    large grassy field pitches, lots of room, very clean, lovely artisan bakery round the corner that has an amazing selection of gluten free sandwiches, cakes and scones, massive sandy beach a short drive away.

  • 5/5

    Great little site lovely views. Dog walks. Waste disposal. Nice quiet night £12 in the blue postbox brilliant more places should do this

  • 5/5

    Exactly what I love - a field with a great view and basic, pristine facilities. The Flying Fox pub/cafe/bakery in Shilbottle (just under a mile via the footpath) is amazing and does wonderful GLUTEN FREE sandwiches etc. They use locally made gluten free bread, and can sell you a loaf too if they can. I'll definitely be back for this wonderful combination of campsite and place to eat gf.

  • 5/5

    Wunderschöner Stellplatz mit toller Aussicht und Versorgungsmöglichkeiten. 12£ pro Nacht. Sehr ordentlich und sauber. Ruhiger Platz. Empfehlenswert.

  • 5/5

    Mooie plaats om tot rust te komen. Kleinschalig, in een rustige omgeving met op 1mile een Mc Donald, op 1/2 mile pizza en een Indisch restaurant. 3g en 4g ontvangst.

  • 5/5

    Such a fantastic site - beautifully laid out generous pitches, well laid out and maintained facilities, with a wonderful view. It's quite near the road but very quiet at night, between Alnmouth & Alnwick. Great artisan bakery & cafe in the village. We will be back

  • 5/5

    Gently sloping grass field with water, bins and black disposal. £12/night in honesty box. No EHU. Bottom end of field next to the road, but we had the choice of parking so didn't care Easy walk along footpath to the village Pub, shop, spa/salon, coffee shop. Must return location.

  • 5/5

    One of those places you'd love to keep to yourself! Beautifully kept field with multiple massive pitches. Sign up to "make yourself at home", bin, recycling, elsan/grey water, drinking water all available. Honesty box - please pay. Might need levellers. Superb view, minimal road noise at night. Perfect for our free-range toddler and for us to just be "present" once he'd gone to bed.

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    Really lovely spot, very peaceful. Way more than 5 spots mowed out- probably closer to 15 total. The grey water we couldn’t find a grate or anything for it and the pub didn’t serve food at 730pm when we walked there so ate at the Indian restaurant- delicious food, friendly staff

  • 4/5

    Fine place for overnight. Could get Black water out, Grey water needed a bucket i Think. All self-service which was good since we arrived late and left early.

  • 5/5

    Great site, we were the only ones there, well looked after, just put your £10 in the egg box and grab a box of large eggs for £2 for breakfast,

  • 5/5

    Great find. Beautifully mowed out field. On a slight slope but not an issue. There is a country lane at bottom but very quiet at night and not too busy during day. Now £12 into a quirky blue post box by the Fresh water, black/grey waste and bins. Village a short walk away with pub, bakery, India and pizza. Will pop in again when up north. Thankyou, perfect

  • 5/5

    superschön. Sehr freundliche Eigentümer. ruhig obwohl Straße in der Nähe. unbedingt hinfahren, 10 Pfund in die Eierbox an der Einfahrt und Platz auf der tollen Wiese suchen

  • 5/5

    Großartiger Platz, um einen Zwischenstopp einzulegen. Schöne, grüne Rasenfläche mit Frischwasser und Mülleimern. Man steht inmitten von Pferden (eingezäunt) und die Besitzerin ist total freundlich. Eine gute Wahl, wenn man Alnwick Castle besuchen möchte und Fahrräder dabei hat. Unser Wohnmobil ist ca. 8m lang und 3m hoch, auch für noch größere Geschosse ist der Platz absolut geeignet.

  • 4/5

    Stayed one night- Great stop over not far from the A1. £10 for a Caddy. Good facilities, some flat areas but many on a bit of a slope. It is next to a rural road but near a junction which is busier than expected so you will hear cars pass / accelerate even in the small hours.

  • 5/5

    perfect to stay one or more nights, great to dump grey water, empty toilet cassette, get water. large grassy area, farm fresh eggs. many thanks for making this possible.

  • 5/5

    Great spot very clean water bins elsan point available Quiet site.
