  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This is a perfect location for stargazing. There are seven simple pitches, each equipped with electric hook-up and water access. The facility block is excellent, featuring toilets, showers, a dishwashing area, and laundry services. The owner checked in on us during our stay and was very approachable and helpful whenever we required assistance.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.
However. It’s honestly so frustrating when inconsiderate guests block the Elsan point with inappropriate waste, and I’m gutted I couldn’t extend my stay because it was fully booked. #frustration #waste #travel #campsite 🙄😤

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Quiet site with great facilities...shower block was immaculate and it was lovely that so much care had been taken to provide everything needed.
We came for a chance of seeing stars and care was taken on the site to maintain a dark sky ...we saw loads of stars.
The site has walks available from the site, many walks including one to a nature hide. There is provision for cycle hire and good tracks near the site.
I met a friend there in her camper, the signal was good enough to arrange to meet etc. WiFi was available near a specific point.

Liked If you like peace and quiet this is the place for you .Plenty of nearby places to walk the dog which was ideal for us .There's a local pub under a mile down the road which serves food and there's a bike hire shop if you into that .The touring pitch was fully serviced and the toilets /showers were warm and nipping clean .

Liked We had a fantastic stay with our touring caravan. The site is set in a beautiful, peaceful location, with lovely walks to enjoy nearby. The owners were polite, friendly and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The waterfall showers were an added bonus and absolutely fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

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).
