Park setting (added by manager 11 dec 2015)

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

Avoid the hordes crawling to the south-west coast and breeze your way to a little gem on the edge of the Northumberland National Park instead… Riverside Country Park 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.

Liked: We have just came back from 2 nights at Riverside leisure park, we have all loved it! Everyone on the touring site that we were next to were lovely and friendly. The staff were friendly at reception and helpful. Kids enjoyed being able to play in the parks and ride their scooters around site as well as going over to the arcades and night time entertainment. Would 100% go back wish we'd booked extra nights!

Disliked: Only complaint I have is the swimming pool wasn't open but this was due to high chlorine in the pool.

Liked: Very friendly staff, after having some issues with our van the receptionist was extremely helpful and told us not to worry about our caravan as we had to get it recovered. There was also a man who worked in the grounds he was also extremely friendly and helpful he cheered up my little ones whilst we waited for recovery and couldn’t help us enough. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name but really appreciate how friendly and willing he was to help. The young ones that work in the pub are also very friendly and chatty. We will definitely return in the future.

Disliked: A shame the swimming pool wasn’t open ( due to chlorine issues )

Liked: Compact accessible site near to all amenities and 20 min walk to town.Pool lovely and warm and clean and free if using campsite. Toilet shower block with 3 toilets showers and sinks. Site clean looked after. Reasonable play area .

Disliked: Feel not enough bathroom facilities for the number of occupants visiting the site. Also not using wet room fans so enter through a mist of dampness as fans can't cope. Play area a fair distance away from your pitch

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.
