Fully serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch

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: Great location. Best new toilets we have seen, spotlessly clean fully equipped. All large hard standings with own water onto the pitch. Motorhome point for grey waste.
Lovely location for walking, biking and for touring around the many facilities that Kielder water offers. Very small site only holds 6

Disliked: Having to leave

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Iain for staying with us and making time to leave us a review.We appreciate that you have enjoyed the site as we have designed to offer the best facilities possibly for a site with only seven pitches in a quiet forest location allowing you to enjoy your holiday and surrounding area.
It makes it all worthwhile for us when we have customers that have had a good time at our little site.

Diane W. May 2025

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: What an amazing place! The views are breathtaking, the facilities are from a Swiss spa rather than a campsite and the staff were so kind and friendly they basically disappeared into the background and let us enjoy our stay without a sign telling us how to behave every 5 feet (Caravan Club?). Oh, and the location is amazing, especially if you like mtb trails.

Disliked: Sadly - and it’s neither the sites fault nor the owners, there were nits in the evening. We were warned, it’s nature!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Diana we are pleased that you enjoyed our small site with our shower block that has been built by myself from timber from the site.
We do get midges here in the summer but are usually only active between 7pm until 9pm but that is why we have so many swallows swifts and housemartins also bats in the evening.

An Amazing Dark Camper/Caravan site in the heart of Kielder Forest.

Peter S. May 2025

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: This site in the heart of the Kielder forest is completely dark at night so an excellent choice if you are into astro photography or star gazing. The facilities are excellent, the owner had made considerable effort to ensure a comfortable stay with facilities including toilets, Kitchen area, spacious showers and laundry facilities. All the facilities were clean, tidy and well looked after. The limited size of the site promotes and cosy and friendly atmosphere.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nice quiet site with good toilet shower facility

Disliked: would have liked more detailed information on how to use the washing machine and tumbler dryer. We lost £2.-00 credit as we did not know that your selected wash time was required to be selected before putting money in the meter.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Alexander thank you for staying with us and making time to leave a review.
There are instructions above the washing machine and dryer that are straightforward that explain exactly how it works.

Mick J. May 2025

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The Toilet block was the best I’ve seen
Lovely hot showers and clean
Fresh water tap right next to the pitch so no long walks for water
Nice and peaceful

Disliked: Not a big issue but if you have an awning it’s difficult to try and secure it due to the hard standing, I was lucky as pitched by a grassy bank

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review but I am puzzled as to why you say the shower block is the best and cleanest you have ever seen but mark is down for these services.

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).
