A1068, NE65 0XS, Warkworth
Been here?
This former parking area near Warkworth is no longer accessible to motorhomes because a height barrier and rocks now block the entrances. It was previously a resurfaced, spacious area close to the town, beach, river and cycle track, with public toilets near the beach. The access from outside town was bumpy, and local recycling bins made the area busy.

I cannot understand why height barriers are put in place to stop motorhomes entering as this still allows vans to enter. The motorhomes are self sufficient with water tanks and chemical toilets and are always respectful and take their waste away with them. it is the small vans with usually no facilities on board that cause the problems yet they are still able to fit under the barriers. stupidity
As said, barrier is now in place to stop motorhome access. It’s a pity as it was a good stop, walks to the beach, village, river and up to Alnmouth. Always spent a lot of money in the village and left no mess. Met villagers who hated” freeloaders” and said toilet waste was dropped in the woods beside . The few spoil things for the many.
No longer possible to stay overnight, as a height barrier was installed and rocks blocked the second entrance as of March 2026.
This is a lovely spot ideal to take the grandkids on the bikes (cycle track) to Alnmouth. The locals aren't happy about lots of motorhomes staying overnight (26 one night!) with their chairs out drinking until the early hours and dumping grey/black waste! Please respect this car park, don't spoil it!
Great place to park. There is a cycle track straight from here, or you can walk into Warkworth or Amble. No facilities, so you need to be self-sufficient. We have stayed many times and there are always a few people here.
Great parking with more space for larger motorhomes. The road is quite slim and the other road has potholes so be mindful to jiggled about. really good space and there are bins to dispose of rubbish. 5 minute walk to the beach for a coastal walk
There isn't any issue in Europe or Scotland with parking in wonderful places like this but unfortunately the odd local has an issue .... empty vessels make the most noise... FYI most of us free loaders are higher rate tax payers.
This is not a campsite. The locals don’t want free loaders. Why do you feel the need to stay without paying. You claim that you contributed to the local economy. Where did you dump your waste? Stay away.
Nice park up about 14 motorhomes in when I arrived.. so parked next to bins .. lovely view looking out watching the hares in the fields. No boy racers either.
ITS A CAR PARK NOT A CAMPSITE. This is private land. If you don't have permission don't stay overnight. Several places to stay legally nearby but unfortunately you can't be a freeloader you need to pay. Word of warning...if you walk through the cut in the woods watch out for all the excrement that has been dumped from the toilet cassettes.
we parked here for the day, and it looks ideal for overnight. It's flat, loads of space, and no signs.
This is a car park that was created to take overflow from a very busy village. It was never intended to be a free stop over for motorhomes. There were signs put up last year banning overnight sleeping and on 2 occasions these were cut down. This is private land. The residents of the village object due to the amount of toilet waste being dumped in the woods.
Loads of room, kept company by 6 other MoHo’s. Really quiet night and nice beach a 5 min walk away with toilet block. The best place I stayed all weekend and even better it is FREE.
We have stayed here previously with no problem and same again this time. Feels safe certainly with other MoHo’s parked up. 5 mins into village with excellent Masons Arms and village shop. We walked up to Alnemouth mainly on the beach and back on coastal path. We need to keep these parking places open so please respect. Finally a big cheer to local community.
Nice stopover, plenty of other campers. Felt safe. Flat ground
