Perched on a grassy cliff top overlooking the lighthouse on St Mary's Island, Old Hartley Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite offers stunning views. With easily accessible local transport, Newcastle City Centre is a stones’ throw from site, and a short journey across the River Tyne will take you to Gateshead. Both of these are popular for restaurants and entertainment, and there’s also a well-known nature reserve nearby where you can discover an abundant bird population. Dogs are welcome on site and there’s a dog-friendly beach ¾ miles away.

- PFPaul FlintoffSep 30, 20265.0Stayed for a couple from 27th to 29th september had an amazing stay will be booking again very soon especially as we dont live to far away
- SHSte HoustonSep 16, 20264.0Absolutely love this site, can see why it's so popular. Spotlessly clean facilities. Fantastic view, peaceful location. On a frequent bus route into Whitley and beyond. Good walks from the site including along the coastal pathway and local river. Two negatives: - It is getting expensive at £50/night - Nearly all pitches are on a slope, come on CAMC you could easily level them
- DLDonna LeeSep 13, 20264.0Mixed feelings about this site. It is in a beautiful location and nicely kept site. It is a small site but that doesn't have to be reflected in the size of the shower cubicles. The bench isn't deep enough to sit on. Very narrow cubicles. (And I am not a large lady, size 12) Some people may struggle in there. 5 hooks in the shower which is a plus. Great for cycling one way into Seaton sluce and the other way Tynemouth. Lovely off road cycle paths both ways. The site is plagued with the noise of local teenagers riding motorbikes late at night. Every night. When we stayed there were low flying aircraft (didn't look to see what they were, I was trying to sleep). A few of our neighbours were inconsiderate late into the night. A lot of which is out of the sites control.
- EHEmily HowardSep 10, 20262.0First of all staff were very pleasant. No issues there The site was not good for us. Our pitch was on a real slope Even on chocks we were downhill. Things falling out of cupboards. It is a very popular site so we’re lucky to get a place. No pitch to change to. Wifi not good at all and £56 for one night was very expensive for what we experienced would not recommend or return. Sorry
- TRTHOMAS ROSSSep 5, 20264.0Touring with a motorhome. Pitch with hardstanding September 26 ..Super views over the bay with gate..bus into near by town was easy..site is clean and well maintained. Toilet shower block was realy modern and super clean . Reception staff were excellent I'd definitely visit again ...you will need levelling ramps
