Best Stonehaugh campsites for surfing

Stonehaugh draws surfers looking for accessible breaks and rugged scenery, with 17 camping options near the best local waves. Average pitches run about £30 a night, with some as low as £25. You’ll find campsites tucked along rivers, a short drive from the coast, and close to woodland trails. Top picks include Walkmill Campsite (43 reviews), Bamburgh Under Canvas (2 reviews), and Laverock Law Cottages and Glamping (1 review). Facilities like showers, toilets, and pet-friendly rules come standard at most spots. Between surf sessions, you can cast a line for trout, hike forest paths, or cool off with a swim in a wild stream. Rubbish bins are usually available—just pack out what you bring in. Local knowledge: the waves pick up after a good easterly, and the woodland edges keep your tent out of the worst of the wind.

Spacious clean campsite. Now our best one yet! We chose the upper circle which gave us a lot more space and better views. Clean toilets. Nice little shop with extras for guests. Will certainly recommend and return.

Weekend Trip to Walkmill Campsite

I loved the campsite. The plots were very spacious and not at all crammed in, so there was lots of room for my toddler to run around in. The facilities were good as there was a static caravan with a kitchen, bathroom, toilet and even a couple of lounge areas, which would be useful if you got bad weather. It was so handy having the use of a hot water for washing up. I would definitely go back!

We loved tent camping at Walkmill, the site was beautifully maintained in a stunning location near the river. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy while sat around the fire pit - we saw a barn owl and hares during our two night stay. The pitches were well spaced out and the site shop had everything you might need in a pinch -we recommend bringing cash for the honesty box. The location is a 45min walk to Warkworth Castle and the coast/coastal path so there is plenty to keep you busy. We are looking forward to coming back!

Beautiful unspoilt environment, natural landscape. The tents were pitched away from the camper vans which was lovely. Friendly peaceful campers in a lovely atmosphere.

Beautiful quiet site. The tent felt entirely private/separate from the few others on the site. Well equipped and comfortable. Perfectly located for exploring the North East coast. Campbell was really helpful and made our stay great. Couldn't recommend more!

Excellent honesty shop, great facilities - felt like a home away from home! Lovely little villages by the sea nearby. As seen on the bbc television series "villages by the sea" hosted by Ben Robinson.

Nothing but good things to say about Walkmill! Clean, well looked after, incredibly peaceful, and Claire was very helpful before and during our stay. Perfect for the first night of our trip in our van. Will definitely be back & would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!

Lovely campsite with excellent facilities. All very clean and in good condition. The hosts were very helpful and the little shop is stocked with some great stuff. Considering how remote the site is, it was very easy to find. The area it's in is great for peaceful walks.
