Park setting (added by manager 11 dec 2015)

Friendly well-maintained park on the banks of Wooler Water
Lounge bar, restaurant and entertainment in peak season
A 10-minute walk to the medieval market town of Wooler

Avoid the hordes crawling to the south-west coast and breeze your way to a little gem on the edge of the Northumberland National Park instead… Riverside Country Park 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.

Liked: We love it here and we’re returning! On this occasion, the weather has absolutely battered the place and everything was waterlogged, like many places. Don’t let this affect a return, we had a great time last summer.

Disliked: Touring facilities are still in need of an upgrade and/or a good clean. We disliked the weather and hope the sunshine comes soon!

Camping pod

Liked: The park and facilities were great. Had an issue with an unknown male but reported to reception and they put on extra security. Pub was great. Mini fridge also in the pod.

Disliked: The pod was advertised as could hold 6 adults but 1 dropped out and it was a good job. There is no way you can fit 6 adults in the pod. On their website they state the pod is for 2 adults and 2 children. This needs to be reviewed by pitch up.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Close to village. Staff in reception friendly and welcoming.

Disliked: The site was a mud bath and poorly lit. The facilities were dirty, cold and there was only 3 toilets and 3 showers for all the touring pitches. The on site shop, advertised, had closed down. The facilities quoted of a bar, swimming pool, amuzments and entertainment were not on site. They were on the opposite side of a busy main road a 10 min walk away down the road from the main entrance.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff really helpful, site clean with good facilities, pool included in price

Disliked: You have to book slots at pool via telephone but no one answers, I headed over at 2pm and was told no slots til 5pm, difficult to explain to my 4 year old. Should be an online booking system. Swimming is 45 mins only

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad you had an excellent time. We've passed on your comments to the team on park and hope to welcome you back on park soon. Thanks, Team Verdant.

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.
