Border Forest Caravan Park

Positiv Lovely spacious pitch, easy access to walk straight out of site. Beautiful views and surroundings.
Fantastic dog walk attached to site.

Negativ Shower area was cold first thing in the morning....but I'm told warm later in the day.

Re heating in showers . The heating is timed now that oil has doubled in price , at moment we have to use heating oil .

Positiv Spacious pitch. Disappointed that the toilet and shower facilities at the bottom of the site weren’t open but easily accessible to the walks and the owners where happy to lend us a map of the local area whilst we were there

Positiv warm cosy pod, used as a base to explore Kielder with gravel bikes. couple of excellent pubs close by for evening meal. Cafe 5 mins down the road for breakfast. was also pleasantly surprised with the phone signal 👍🏻

Negativ closest toilet block was closed, coz it was off season. so it was a bit of trek.

Positiv Stunning location, couldn't have asked for better! Friendly and helpful folk. Very dog friendly with a fabulous dog field. Several walks are accessible directly from the site so it's a great spot if you want to park up for a few days and explore. Lovely, hot showers! Nice, wee kitchen room with a kettle and microwave. I'll be back!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Re showers etc
They are Functional, good pressure and hot,the controls ,shower heads were all replaced this January 26 New hand basins mixer tap February 26 .
The tiled floor is original Pax Roman ,as it’s for standing on ,what would change achieve? Same with ceiling .lights all replaced with low energy ones recently.
Ok I come from an age of waste not want not, rationing etc .You youngsters don’t be taken in by consumerism ,spend instead on caravaning

Positiv The whole site was well maintained. Some work being done on one of the building roof but overall great site.

Ali warden was fabulous. Very friendly and really knowledgeable about the area.

The kitchen area and the toilet / shower blocks were clean and well maintained. There was a microwave and kettle in the top kitchen block.

Overall had a lovely two night stay with great and amazing clear skies to see the stars, exactly what we wanted.

Also it is a dark skies area so remember a decent bright torch 🔦 especially if you need to use the loos or taking your furbabies for a walk after dark... honestly you city folk will thank us later 😁

We cannot wait to go back

Positiv Fantastic location. So peaceful and great hiking near by. Dog walking field on site was great for our dog.
Bathrooms, although a bit dated, were warm and nice hot shower (no button pressing needed)!

Positiv Nice area with great walks

Negativ Pitches were dirty and the site is in need of considerable TLC. No water available in off season months to rinse chemical toilet.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Pitches dirty we are in the wilds ,it hasn’t stopped raining what do you expect daily scrubbing? There is. Water in a tank very near waste point,!
Being well above sea level we freeze up .therefore facilities at top of the park are the only ones open.
We are in Englands Highlands ,no shops ,pub 4 miles away no takeaways.
Don’t expect Kew Gardens or similar
Read previous reviews ,from people who live in the real world and appreciate what we have here!!!!!
