Riverside Country Park

View prices & book Last booked 9 hours ago 8 425 reviews

Friendly well-maintained park on the banks of Wooler Water
Lounge bar, restaurant and entertainment in peak season
A 10-minute uphill walk from the medieval market town of Wooler

Avoid the crowds crawling to the southwest coast and breeze your way to Riverside Country Park on the edge of the Northumberland National Park instead… This is a friendly, well-maintained site on the banks of Wooler Water, with plenty to appeal to the whole family: perhaps pottering around the riverbanks and stunning woodland, splashing about in the indoor swimming pool, baiting rods for a bit of fly fishing, or a few rounds of pool in the games room. The park has good essential amenities, including a lounge bar and restaurant with Sky Sports and BT Sports, a shop, launderette, play area and entertainment over peak season. It's also only 10 minutes' uphill walk away from the centre of Wooler, a medieval market town with restaurants, coffee shops and lots to browse around.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, good sized pitches and plenty of water and electricity points. The club house serves a good selection of drinks and the food from the grill is good quality pub fare.

Disliked: The touring site would benefit from some additional waste water and chemical toilet emptying points as there was only one which could be awkward to use for someone with mobility issues.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Sean! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our friendly staff, spacious pitches, and the variety of food and drinks at the clubhouse. We appreciate your feedback regarding the waste water and chemical toilet emptying points, especially in relation to accessibility. Your insights are valuable, and we'll certainly take them into consideration for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: The ducks were lovely . Location was good just off the main road. Was nice and peaceful in the evenings too sleeping not a problem .

Disliked: Toilets and showers not very clean and very outdated . No shop or kiosk on site had to go across the road to a social club full of Kids amusements and loud sky sports . Food and drink well over priced for what the offer was and that was basic.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Paul! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, convenient location, and, of course, our lovely ducks! We appreciate your feedback regarding the cleanliness and upkeep of the toilet and shower facilities, as well as the availability of on-site amenities.

Andrew H. May 2025

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Nice site, lovely warm welcome upon arrival. Mainly static and lodges but touring pitches available. A small river runs through the site, there's also a small lake. The site is well set out making a quite large site seem much smaller. There's a Grill / Bar a small arcade and swimming pool. The site is close to Wooler a short uphill walk. There's a supermarket within walking distance along with a Milk Bar selling super ice-creams. The site is conveniently set 15-20 miles away from Alnwick Castle, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Craster and many more. A lovely break, nice site and super weather.

Disliked: Small critiques there are only two showers in both the men's/women's blocks ( however this wasn't an issue while we were there. Our pitch was a bit small, more a motor home pitch really but we only have a small caravan.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review Andrew! We're delighted that you enjoyed the warm welcome, scenic surroundings, and the variety of amenities on-site. It’s fantastic to hear that the location made exploring nearby attractions convenient, and that the weather added to your experience! We appreciate your feedback regarding the shower facilities and pitch size, and will take it into consideration as we look to enhance our offerings. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful stay soon!

Great breakaway, would highly recommend

Local attractions

Trip-trap over the bridge from Riverside Country Park to Wooler, a pretty medieval market town with some alluring eateries, pubs and shops, and the ideal starting point for walks into the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park. Cycling, fishing, golfing and horse riding fans will also find rich pickings nearby. If you haven’t explored the Northumberland coastline before, you’re in for a treat. Expect atmospheric ancient edifices in spectacular surroundings, such as Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne; seaside villages like Seahouses, where you can jump aboard a sea safari boat to the Farne Islands; and miles and miles of nature reserves and wide sandy beaches. You can follow Hadrian’s Wall westbound from its start point in Wallsend, stopping off at Roman forts in scenic settings as you head in the direction of Carlisle; travel along peaceful country roads to explore the Scottish borders; or south to visit Alnwick Castle and the Alnwick Garden, contemporary gardens with one of the world’s biggest treehouses. For city lights, hit the A1 for an easy ride to Newcastle and Gateshead, both buzzing with culture (try the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art or a gig at the Sage Concert Hall), museums, football, restaurants, nightlife and shops; or head further north for a day trip to the many-splendoured delights of Edinburgh.
