Nothing that the site could do but the midges were really bad unable to sit outside after a certain time on a evening or first thing in a morning

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked A rather disappointing site. The forest was desimated by a storm a couple of winters ago and so the forest was very patchy and regeneration is not happening so some areas are being replanted.
The Pennine Way passes the site which is it's main benefit.

Disliked The site is old and very tired, it looks neglected. There are some signs of repair and upgrade but it just makes the rest appear even shabbier. Not enough to make my stay unpleasant.

From the manager: Possibly we were a Roman Army camp site , so obviously modernisation is out of the question, of course some sad people want Bath bought up to date in the Trump Tower way.
Here we try to fit in with nature ie buttercups for bees , etc.We are miles from shops , no clubs ,nearest pub four miles with the wind behind you.
If you want Kew Gardens go there, not here!
Luckily at my age I don’t have to take another tourer but as I like what I do and 9 and a half of our customers out of ten, are Happy decent people who I enjoy meeting, I will keep on in the Basil tradition !!

Everything. Fantastic location with lovely views and walks Friendly welcome very well…

We had such a lovely welcome from Ali on our arrival...( felt like we had known her years)!!
You are obviously catering for wildlife and the environment...which is just amazing...
We spent ages in the extensive dog walking area...Such a variety of plants , newly planted trees and the recent ponds...such a haven for aquatic life..
We absolutely love your pigs!!!! They did enjoy a tickle behind their ears...

Local attractions

Kielder Forest is indeed mighty: this is the biggest human-made woodland in England and covers 250 acres. Roe deer roam here, many an archaeological feature and Site of Special Scientific Interest can be found, and the forest is also home to Kielder Castle, piles of walking and cycling trails, and Kielder Observatory (this is top stargazing territory too). Also in the forest, mosey along to the reservoir Kielder Water and Leaplish Waterside Park to hire fishing and pleasure boats, hide in the red squirrel hide, walk on water or try other activities like archery, crossbows, sea scooters or gymnastics. Within easy driving distance of the site are famed Northumberland and Scottish Borders attractions like the budget-friendly Jedforest farm and animal park with native and exotic species and Mary Queen of Scots' House, both at Jedburgh 25 minutes away; Alnwick Castle and Hadrian's Wall (about an hour, and both also rather mighty); 19th-century Cragside House (45 minutes' drive), and the first-class Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the Northumberland coast (an hour and a half). Clay pigeon shooting is also available locally.
