  • Small adults-only motorhome site in Kielder Forest Park
  • Kielder Castle under a mile away; observatory 10 minutes' drive
  • Serviced hardstanding pitches in the UK's largest dark sky park
There's some really excellent hiking, mountain biking and wildlife watching to be done in the Northumberland National Park – but if there's one thing this park is really known for, it's surely the fantastic stargazing. A whopping 572 square miles here have been given Gold Tier status for their incredible dark skies, making this the largest International Dark Sky Park in the UK (and the second largest in Europe). If you're travelling in a motorhome, you’ll be able to take full advantage of these fabulous surroundings at Clear Sky Lodge Park, an adults-only touring site on the edge of Ravenshill Forest and with views over the North Tyne Valley. That setting means the views here are gorgeous by day – but they're potentially even better by night, when the starry displays start up. If you're keen to learn more about what you’re seeing, head to nearby Kielder Observatory (10 minutes' drive) for one of their regular events. And this great location also means you'll have plenty to do by day as well, exploring the trails of surrounding Kielder Forest Park, visiting Kielder Castle and heading down to Kielder Water. You might also like to throw in a day trip to the Roman attractions around Hexham (50 minutes' drive away). Preserving the dark-sky status of this park means that facilities here have necessarily been kept to a minimum, but guests have access to toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point. Pitches all have water and electric connections, and they’re on hardstanding that should be accessible in all weathers.

What customers say

This is a small, peaceful adult-only campsite in a beautiful forest location with stunning views. Guests consistently praise the exceptional, modern, and spotlessly clean shower and toilet facilities. Pitches are spacious, level, and well-serviced, offering a tranquil atmosphere ideal for stargazing and enjoying nature. The friendly owners are noted for their helpfulness. Some guests mention midges and limited WiFi on pitches, though this is generally considered a minor issue in this remote area.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked My wife and I stayed here for two nights. Hosts Jackie and David are both really friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and a good level pitch. Short walk into village.and woodland walk to the river country walks. Sadly castle was closed. Pub was open just a ten minute walk down gravel road. Toilet wash room and showers spotlessly clean showers are amazing a must if you stay. Such a peaceful and quiet site fantastic. WiFi a bit sketchy depends who you are with ee is a no go 02 works a treat. Go to sleep listening to the owls hooting, wake up to the song birds. Will stay again and highly recommend

Disliked Nothing. Just be prepared for midges take smidge spray and all is good

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had an amazing stay at Clear Sky Motorhome Site in Kielder and cannot recommend it enough.
​What We Loved:
​Breathtaking Location: A beautifully cosy site nestled right on the edge of Kielder Forest with stunning, sweeping views.
Top-Tier Facilities: The facilities were fantastic—spotlessly clean toilets and brilliant, lovely showers that made all the difference.
​Stargazing Spot: Being situated in a dark sky area made for unforgettable night skies. Watching the stars here is an absolute must!
​Outstanding Hospitality: The owners are incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly. They took the time to personally walk around the pitches to chat with guests and make sure everyone had everything they needed.
​It was an extraordinarily positive experience from start to finish. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be back!

Local attractions

Given how close it is, your first visit should be to Kielder Castle, just under a mile away. It's got a variety of exhibits about the area’s history and wildlife, a lovely café and a bird hide where you can look out for the resident ospreys. Bikes can be hired here, or you can head out on a scenic drive along the toll road. There are plenty of options nearby for walks, of course – and one of the best is the Lakeside Way, an accessible multi-user trail that runs all the way along the 26-mile shoreline of Kielder Water (10 minutes’ drive). Look out for native red squirrels as you go – Kielder is home to about half of the country's population – or head to the Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre (15 minutes) to see other local wildlife. If you're into mountain biking, you may like to cross the Scottish border to 7 Stanes - Newcastleton (25 minutes); if it’s history that’s more your thing, try heading to Hadrian's Wall to explore places like the Temple of Mithras (45 minutes) and Housesteads Roman Fort (50 minutes).
