Why stay here ...
By April 2021 this site will have 16 new Serviced Pitches and improvements made to a further 12 pitches, enabling better access all year round.
River Breamish Club Site in Alnwick is set amid the Cheviot Hills, with excellent walking and cycling in the scenically beautiful surroundings to keep the active holiday maker happy. Walk from the caravan site into the delightful Breamish Valley where many remains from the Neolithic and Bronze Age, including hill forts and medieval villages can be seen. It is an easy walk into the quaint little village of Powburn.
The National Park Centre at Ingram is a short journey away from the River Breamish Club Site, which is open daily from Easter to September. Staff there will be more than happy to help you plan your stay, making sure you get the most out of this historic area. Ingram boasts a number of fine hillside walks - take a picnic along with you and enjoy the rolling green hills and countryside spread out before you. If you enjoy bird watching and nature, then be sure to visit the Branton Nature Reserve which has a bird hide and lake nearby and Farne Islands, off the Northumberland coast. Fly fishing is available at Chatton and Thrunton Long Crag, and course fishing can be enjoyed at Felton Fence Farm.
The stunning surrounding scenery and beaches can be enjoyed from many of our Northumberland campsites, including the long sandy beaches and castle at Bamburgh, are on the doorstep. The location for the Harry Potter films, Alnwick Castle, is a must-see attraction. For a really unique experience, book a reservation to have dinner in the Castle's treetop restaurant. This caravan park is sure to offer something special for everyone in the family.
A mobile fish and chip van visits this site, please ask the site staff for details.

Perfect break away
Arriving at the site we were greeted by a charming most friendly warden who was extremely helpful. We chose the west end as there were less vans there and the pitch and service point clean and tidy with all covid information necessary to remind you to wash/ sanitise your hands with sanitiser stands near the shower blocks which incidentally were spotless. The best thing about river Breamish was the location as the walks around the area are stunning plus not too far to jump in the car to the coast or bike up the valley. The dog walk around the site was the best I have known and next door is the nature reserve which some may find noisy with geese in abundance, however this nor the odd beep from waster transfer site spoilt our stay and we will definitely return. We are generally CL people but chose this due to the valley location as thought we could encounter wind on the hills in autumn.

Fantastic Site - a hidden gem
Firstly, I cannot believe the two recent negative reviews. I have used this site for years and usually stay on the east part of the site. To say you can hear the council depot several hundred yards away is incredulous - only occasionally when out on the dog walk have I ever heard this. In terms of expecting the CAMC to have sanitisers by the taps is bonkers - just keep sanitiser in your car/motorhome and use it when you touch anything. CAMC have worked so hard to open up their sites safely and should be commended, not criticised. The wardens here are simply the best. Fantastic site, superb location and can't wait for the planned pitch improvements to happen. Thanks CAMC.

No peace and quiet
Lovely site as one would expect with friendly helpful staff. However we were unfortunate having a pitch on the East side of the site. Each weekday, from 7.45 am until about 4pm was the constant repetitive beeping sound of plant reversing at the recycling centre a few hundred yards away. No peace nor quiet until the end of the working day. We will not return.
You can't sanitize your hand with a notice saying wash your hands.
Firstly I want to make it clear the wardens and site are great. But the CMHC have put the members at risk, every CL we have used this year 8 in all have provided sanitizer at EVERY tap and service point, we arrive a a club site to find the only sanitizer is on doors,NOTHING on service points apart from a sign telling you how to keep safe and wash your hands. Over a 100 + people on sit is a high risk Covid 19 , I was under the belief the Club was doing every thing it could to protect it's member but it doesn't seem it's doing the basics.. As Northumberland is almost in lock down It's now time for the club to do it's bit before all club sites get locked down again.
A location that is hard to beat
A wonderful site for walking local paths hills and valleys.
Well drained and well kept pitches. Facilities are spotless too....although we didn't like the unsegregated que system so used our on board facilities.
The only other issue to mention is the site is isolated if you require shopping or leisure attractions you need transportation.....OH....and lots of dogs too....
