See all facilities…Smart campers: 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 cradling the banks of Wooler Water, with plenty to appeal to the whole family: pottering around the delightful river banks and the 80-acre woods, soaking in the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, baiting of rods for a bit of fly-fishing, or a few rounds of pool in the games room.
Riverside Country Park has good essential amenities, including a lounge bar and restaurant with free wifi, Sky Sports and weekend entertainment, a shop, launderette, and children’s play area (and extra activities and entertainment for the littlies laid on during the peak season). There are camping pods as well as pitches for tents and tourers, and the site is open year round.
Nearby attractions and activities
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 breathtaking surroundings, such as Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne; charming 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 unspoiled sandy beaches.
You can follow Hadrian’s Wall westbound from its start point in Wallsend, stopping off at Roman forts in breathtaking settings as you head in the direction of Carlisle; travel along tranquil country roads to explore the Scottish borders; or south to visit Alnick Castle and the Alnick Garden, stunning contemporary gardens with one of the world’s biggest treehouses.
For city lights, hit the A1 for an easy ride to Newcastle and Gateshead, which are buzzing with culture (try the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art or a gig at the spectacular Sage Concert Hall), museums, football, restaurants, nightlife and shops; or head further north for a day trip to “Auld Reekie” to explore the many-splendoured delights of Edinburgh.

The camping pod was fantastic and the site was very clean and tidy. Danielle_L0 (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The camping pods were great and saved the hassle of putting up a tent. The double plug inside the pod was very handy. Shower block and toilets were very clean and easily accessible from the pod. The location of the site was lovely, with a short walk into wooler town centre. Disliked: Nothing really. The only small criticism was that our pod didn't have a picnic table whereas the others did. |

Excellent site with great facilities in an ideal location for touring Julian S. (Solo traveller-male, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?

Great site Pauline M. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Great walks, friendly staff, clean toilet block, plenty hook up points, quick access to water tap. Disliked: Need to cross a main road to get to clubhouse without even the basics of traffic lights meaning I would never return with my grandchildren. Site shop was a bit small and sparse but as long as you take everything with you this would to be a problem. |
