Camp Sauna

Camp Sauna at The Barn on The Bay

Camp Sauna is your chance to switch off, slow down and enjoy a simple, heartwarming escape on the Northumberland coast. Held between weddings at The Barn on The Bay, it’s designed as a mini midweek retreat — perfect for arriving after work, unwinding for the night, and being back at your desk the next day without taking time off. Arrival is from 4pm, with departure at 10am the following morning.

Hosted in the Camping Pods at The Barn on The Bay, Camp Sauna blends the magic of outdoor living with the restorative ritual of sauna. The pods — think wooden tents with ready-made beds — offer a cosy, semi-off-grid hideaway with a touch of luxury. Each pod sleeps two people in single beds, and three slightly larger pods feature a double bed and futon. Bedding is provided in every pod.

Camp Sauna is intentionally small and peaceful, with a maximum of 12 guests. You can book a single pod, join as a small group, or book all the pods for a private night away with friends.

Toilet and shower facilities are located just across the road at The Barn on The Bay.

A Simple, Restorative Escape

After arriving from 4pm, you’ll be shown to your pod and introduced to the sauna setup. From 5–8pm, the wood-fired sauna is yours to enjoy as much as you like—step into the heat, cool off in the coastal air, wander down to the beach, and repeat.

At 8pm, the firepit is lit and a hearty campfire vegetarian supper is served, complete with homemade bread. After supper, the evening is yours: gather on the verandah with your drink of choice, take a quiet walk, or retreat to your pod for a peaceful night under the stars.

Wake to Sunrise & Sauna

The sauna is lit again in the morning, perfect for a sunrise dip or gentle beach walk before returning to the warmth. Once you’re ready, join us on the verandah for coffee, pastries, overnight oats and yoghurt before checkout.

Camp Sauna is designed to help you unplug from daily life and rediscover the joy of simple rhythms: heat, sea air, good food and time spent outdoors. It’s camping with comfort — and a touch of sauna magic.
