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.
