Fully serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch

New

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: Clear Sky Caravan Park is a gem nestled in Kielder Forest. The owner is exceptionally kind and helpful—when we got lost towing our caravan near the site, he personally came to guide us in his car, which was a lifesaver.

The site itself is incredibly peaceful, with minimal light pollution, making it perfect for stargazing. Its secluded location ensures you are surrounded by the lovely outdoors. There are plenty of scenic walks nearby.

The facilities are great. Washing machines and tumble dryers are available at a small cost. The toilets and showers are lovely and clean. Showers are individual and you don’t have to keep pressing the button for water!!!

Highly recommended!

Disliked: Not a major dislike, but a good tip for future travellers - Make sure you take food, drink & essentials as the closest shop we could find was in Bellingham, 30 mins drive away.

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).
