I assume that the first two reviewers are connected and either have some reason of their own for slandering the reputation of this campsite, or have totally unrealistic expectations of camping. My family have visited this site every year since our children were babies and have enjoyed every holiday here. The site facilities are absolutely fine and I have always been very impressed with the standards of animal welfare and safety in the riding school. Nowadays this is one of the few schools where inexperienced riders can both receive quality instruction and enjoy the freedom of rides out of the school - which at Goswick usually involve an idyllic hack along the beach.

Beachcomber doesn't pretend to offer luxury, but it does provide space, freedom and everything you need for a happy family camping holiday in an area of great beauty.

My daughter and I are about to visit Beachcomber for the fourth time in three years. I discovered it by chance while cycling the national cycle route that passes nearby and it soon became my one of my favourite places.

The location is stunning, the site is peaceful and safe, the pitches are varied and interesting, the facilities are clean, the stables are lovely and the owners friendly and helpful.

My only criticism is that my daughter will not now let us go anywhere else…..

We visited Beachcombers earlier this year with a party of friends. Although we have been visiting this part of the country for years we really didn't know this beautiful campsite existed. What more can I say - everything was just perfect. Peace and Tranquility. Nothing was a trouble for John the owner and the facilities were just perfect. We are definitely going back again .... and again.

Beachcomber campsite is the best campsite in the world! John is flexible, friendly, approachable and relaxed. Sheila who runs the stables and John who oversees the campsite are a great combination. The position of the site is magical and the facilities are very clean. The water is hot and the toilet paper fab.... I have been going to this campsite for years. The flora and fauna are breath taking. As are the night skies and the sunrises and sunsets. I would happily, well actually more than happily spend every spare moment there. In fact if anyone does write negative comments about it, it is because it is so fantastic they are just trying to put people off from going.... because they don't want it to get too busy!

I have recently been to Beachcomber with my husband and 3 young kids. It is fantastic! Everything about it is just amazing. Sheila and John are fantastic. John is a fantastic campsite owner if you need something he will direct you to the place you need to go or he will buy it in so you can collect it from the shop, which by the way is also simple but fantastic.

The stables are absolutely fantastic. The ladies there are very helpful. The rides are fantastic I rode on the beach for an hour with a lady called Jenny who was most pleasant and the ride and horse were fantastic. Whilst my 6 year-old daughter did a lesson then went onto the beach for a little bit and my husband said, and I quote, 'the variety in that lesson was just amazing ' he also mentioned that the young lady who was walking with him was very helpful.

The beach they are beside is amazing goes on forever.

The sunrises and sunsets are something to look out for amazing.

This campsite is just amazing, everything about it is AMAZING. We will not be going to any other campsite for now on this is ours for life. We are hoping to revisit in august. Recommend this campsite to anyone.
