Liked: Lovely quiet site, the birdsong was amazing, very nice lady met us at reception, then later told us about a fantastic walk over the road. Facilities clean not the newest but didn’t matter. Dog walking areas are fantastic as well. We will definitely be back.

Liked: Lovely quiet site with friendly and helpful warden. Some of the facilities are a bit outdated but are spotlessly clean and well maintained. A perfect site for enjoying walks and stargazing thanks to the total lack of light pollution. The sound of the river just adds to the relation levels at this site. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Liked: Lovely warm welcome on arrival as it was our first visit. The site looked well maintained as we drove down to the river to choose our touring pitch. We had 2 dogs with us and there is a fantastic field, dedicated to dogs, just over the bridge where they could run their energy off. The facilities were clean and well stocked. We will definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous waterfall walk from the site, not too far. I would highly recommend this beautiful site !

Liked: Being greeted on arrival, lovely friendly welcome, everything was explained on arrival, found everyone we meet on site friendly and helpful. We had one of the hard standing pitches near the river and had no hassle manoeuvring a large twin axle van into pitch and had enough room to park the car in front of the van on the hard standing, loved great views down the valley and the dark skies. Fantastic dog exercise areas. The facilities are a little dated but we found them spotlessly clean. Location wise we found great for ease of access, no battling speeding logging trucks on narrow roads and for exploring the area. Would happily stay again.

Disliked: Not much

From the manager: Pleased you enjoyed your stay, even with lousy weather.

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.
