  • Friendly well-maintained park on the banks of Wooler Water
  • Lounge bar, restaurant and entertainment in peak season
  • A 10-minute uphill walk from the medieval market town of Wooler
Avoid the crowds crawling to the southwest coast and breeze your way to Riverside Leisure Park on the edge of the Northumberland National Park instead… This is a friendly, well-maintained site on the banks of Wooler Water, with plenty to appeal to the whole family: perhaps pottering around the riverbanks and stunning woodland, setting up for a bit of fly fishing, or a few rounds of pool in the games room. The park has good essential amenities, including a lounge bar and restaurant with Sky Sports and BT Sports, a launderette, play area and entertainment over peak season. It's also only 10 minutes' uphill walk away from the centre of Wooler, a medieval market town with restaurants, coffee shops and lots to browse around.

What customers say

This campsite benefits from a beautiful riverside location and is a short walk from Wooler town centre. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean and spacious pitches, and family-friendly atmosphere with good children's play areas. The on-site pub and restaurant receive positive mentions for food and value. However, many reviews highlight that the toilet and shower facilities are dated and in need of refurbishment, with some citing cleanliness and maintenance issues. Some guests also found pitches to be small and close together.

 Angharad J. 1 review

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches and area
Clean facilities

Disliked Showers were not hot enough, needed refurbishment and were too small in cubicle size and set too high. This site is more geared up I'd say for proper motor homes rather than little campers like mine who rely more heavily on decent facilities. There was no dedicated washing up sink, it was all combined with clothes washing area...not ideal.

Camping pod

Disliked The women’s toilets and showers were pretty dirty in the morning and the lock to the camping pod was not secure at all.

Local attractions

Trip-trap over the bridge from Riverside Leisure Park to Wooler, a pretty medieval market town with some alluring eateries, pubs and shops, and the ideal starting point for walks into the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park. Cycling, fishing, golfing and horse riding fans will also find rich pickings nearby. If you haven’t explored the Northumberland coastline before, you’re in for a treat. Expect atmospheric ancient edifices in spectacular surroundings, such as Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne; seaside villages like Seahouses, where you can jump aboard a sea safari boat to the Farne Islands; and miles and miles of nature reserves and wide sandy beaches. You can follow Hadrian’s Wall westbound from its start point in Wallsend, stopping off at Roman forts in scenic settings as you head in the direction of Carlisle; travel along peaceful country roads to explore the Scottish borders; or south to visit Alnwick Castle and the Alnwick Garden, contemporary gardens with one of the world’s biggest treehouses. For city lights, hit the A1 for an easy ride to Newcastle and Gateshead, both buzzing with culture (try the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art or a gig at the Sage Concert Hall), museums, football, restaurants, nightlife and shops; or head further north for a day trip to the many-splendoured delights of Edinburgh.
