A peaceful, dog-friendly spot in stunning Northumberland, perfect for walkers. Staff are praised as friendly, facilities clean (though dated) and great for dogs. Enjoy tranquil views and dark skies, but watch out for midges.

Liked Stunning location. Large hardstanding pitches. Free hot showers. Super dog friends. An amazing dog walking area.

Disliked Lights in kitchen didn't work. Had to wash up using my phone torch!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Agree light in the kitchen doesn’t work. Deliberately so customer wash up in daylight,not causing disturbed evenings and light pollution, also saves on electricity.
For the winter we have a separate kitchen with light ,causing me sleepless nights re cost

Frank K.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Dark sky. Quiet

Disliked Pitches a bit too close to each other.
Nearest pub/shop/ petrol station too far away.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our pitchup state nearest small shop 9 miles away, nearest pub 4 miles, that is the reason most people come here, for a complete getaway!
Pitches have river or burn at front of pitch and park track at back

We would love to see a family washroom with a bath for babies.

Liked Good clean facilities.
Very helpful staff and other site users when our caravan door lock malfunctioned and locked us out!

Disliked As the site isn't within walking distance of useful amenities, it would be lovely to have a little shop onsite for emergency essentials or local produce.

Local attractions

Kielder Forest is indeed mighty: this is the biggest human-made woodland in England and covers 250 acres. Roe deer roam here, many an archaeological feature and Site of Special Scientific Interest can be found, and the forest is also home to Kielder Castle, piles of walking and cycling trails, and Kielder Observatory (this is top stargazing territory too). Also in the forest, mosey along to the reservoir Kielder Water and Leaplish Waterside Park to hire fishing and pleasure boats, hide in the red squirrel hide, walk on water or try other activities like archery, crossbows, sea scooters or gymnastics. Within easy driving distance of the site are famed Northumberland and Scottish Borders attractions like the budget-friendly Jedforest farm and animal park with native and exotic species and Mary Queen of Scots' House, both at Jedburgh 25 minutes away; Alnwick Castle and Hadrian's Wall (about an hour, and both also rather mighty); 19th-century Cragside House (45 minutes' drive), and the first-class Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the Northumberland coast (an hour and a half). Clay pigeon shooting is also available locally.
