About Budle Bay Campsite
This quiet and friendly site benefits from amazing dark skies, great for stargazing. Nestled in a beautiful valley with a river running through the site, you'll find the village of Bamburgh just five minutes down the road. Complete with a coastal castle, golden sand dunes and beautiful beaches, there's plenty to explore. There are a range of grass pitches for tent campers, ranging between 3.5m x 2m to 8m x 4.5m, allowing up to six guests. For caravans, campervans and motorhomes, there are a range of hardstanding pitches sized 3.5m x 2m up to 8m x 4.5m. Optional electric hook ups are available too and can be added on at the time of booking. If glamping is more your style, you can enjoy a stay in one of the glamping huts. The standard glamping huts include all of the basic essentials with a fridge, microwave, electric and private veranda, along with a communal kitchen. The two person huts have a double bed, whilst the four person huts have two sets of bunk beds. The Hill View huts enjoy great views of the whole campsite, each with inside seating, a private veranda and dedicated parking. A kettle, fridge and microwave are also included. The two person huts have a double bed and space for a travel cot, whilst the seven person huts have two rooms, the first has a double bed with a single bunk and a normal bunk bed plus a second room with a double bed. Please note, the huts do not include bedding so you will need to bring your own along. Toilets and showers can also be found a short walk away. Dogs can also join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch and in the huts. For those wanting to enjoy a spot of al fresco cooking, raised BBQs are permitted. Open fires are not allowed, sorry.

Nice little place, a great location and really friendly staff. A few bits of the park left unfinished, could be time of the season though. Can't wait to come back in the spring.
Site's response
Thank you for your positive review. We have lots of plans and improvements to make when we close at the end of the month for our winter break. You will see the difference next year when we reopen in March, take care.
Pricey!

For £28 a night without electricity or any other benefits I feel this site out of season is overpriced. The pitches are close together and rather like a car park with grass dividers. There was a lot of activity, with arrivals and departures early and late. In high season, this is probably a good site for location and money but for a solo traveller in winter, expensive and not special.
