Camping at Beadnell Bay

Spent the weekend camping at Beadnell Bay in Northumberland. We stayed at the Camping and Caravaning site which is located right on the sea front. You walk straight out of the site across a road and you are on the beach. There are a lot of rock pools to search for sea critters, although we found nothing.

On arrival at the site we were given a choice of a number of pitches in both an upper and lower field. We decided on a pitch in the lower field as it was isolated from the road by the upper field and a drystone wall. They were trying to allocate pitches in the lower field to people with children which seemed sensible from a safety point of view. The pitches in the lower field were generally flat apart from the ones right up against the drystone wall which are on a slope. Being near the sea the ground was very well drained and even though it rained a lot at night there was no sign of any mud. Even though the site was full there was still plenty of room for ball games. The showers, toilets and washing up facilities were all very clean and well kept.
