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 Country 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, splashing about in the indoor swimming pool, baiting rods 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 shop, 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.

Camping pod

Liked: Great location for a base to explore North Northumberland. Safe, friendly site, reception staff really helpful. Beautiful area with the river running through the site. Camping pod was clean and even has a small fridge for keeping your drinks and snacks cool. Loved the resident ducks and rabbits. Would definitely return.

Disliked: Camping pod is very close to the edge of the site and main entrance. Noise from the main road in the morning is quite loud.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi there, thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the setting, found the site welcoming, and appreciated the little details in the camping pod—especially the fridge and our feathered and furry neighbours. We’re sorry the morning road noise disrupted the peace a little, and we’ll certainly take that into account for future improvements. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nice hard standing pitch with grass for awning. Only problem was couldn’t get tent pegs for awning any deeper than 2 inches but we was only there for 2 days so we didn’t worry. Nice little bar and grill across road. Nice and clean.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: It was a nice and peaceful feeling at the site all facilities were clean and tidy and staff very friendly
It wasn't particularly busy at the site but some kids were back to school

Disliked: The only thing my husband found he disliked was price of beer but he still paid the price but we did order a takeaway pizza that cost £17 and when we got back to our campervan was definitely not worth the price

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, clean facilities, and friendly staff. We appreciate your comments about pricing and will pass them along for review. Guest satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff were very helpful and accommodated a pitch swap as electric hook up cable not long enough to reach the shared connections.

Disliked: Access to disabled toilet not large enough with wheelchair. Outside door and disabled toilet door open onto each other which restricts the opening making it difficult to access with wheelchair.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the staff were helpful and accommodated your pitch swap. We appreciate your comments about the accessibility of the disabled toilet and will pass them along for review. Guest comfort is important to us, and we truly value your insights. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

Local attractions

Trip-trap over the bridge from Riverside Country 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.
