  • 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 small, quiet site in Kielder Forest offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views and excellent, modern facilities, including spacious showers and underfloor heating. Ideal for walkers and stargazers, with plenty of trails directly from the site. The owners are friendly and helpful. Limited phone signal and WiFi, with WiFi concentrated near the phone box, are noted, and visitors should be prepared for midges in warmer months. Pub and shop are a short walk away.

Liked What a fantastic place to stay. Walks and biking trails in the immediate area with beautiful scenery. The facilities on the site are very clean and well thought out. It was so quiet at night which helped us sleep well. We even saw a Pine Marten feeding on the veranda of the lodge in front of us. I will definitely book to stay here again.

Disliked Nothing. It was perfect!

Allison D.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches (only 7 of them)sectioned off with huge tree trunks and no matter which one you picked the views were spectacular. Plenty room to sit outside and enjoy the views. Unreal how quiet it was, only broken by the sounds of the birds, and adult only it was pure bliss. The utility block was so nice, sparkling clean, fully catered for with washer and a dryer (coin operated) 2 x toilet and sink and 2 x showers which were lovely, whole space was warm and again clean. Quirky phone box which was the information centre and inly place to utilise the WiFi however that didnt matter, with peace and quiet and views why do you need your phone. Paradise for Walkers, cyclist, birdwatchers, or escaping the rat race. The keilder Tavern is roughly a 5 minute walk away. Host Jackie was lovely. Highly recommended.

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).
