Dog-friendly site in the Northumberland National Park
Half an hour's drive from Kielder Forest and Hadrian's Wall Path
Café-bar on site with a patio and veranda; International Dark Sky Area

Remote, wild, spacious and scenic are all terms rightly fitting The Boe Rigg, in Northumberland National Park a few miles from the market town of Bellingham. Walking and cycling routes are all around here, along with a huge range of outdoor activities within a short drive including the high ropes, watersports and zipwires of Kielder Water and Forest. Also within driving distance are several famed north of England attractions such as Hadrian's Wall and Alnwick Castle, both under 40 miles, and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, under 50. The site's excellent facilities include a café/bar open at weekends serving breakfasts and alternating evening menus such as pizzas or burgers. Among The Boe Rigg's other amenities are newly refurbished washrooms with toilets and hot showers as well as a washing-up area and a small shop selling camping essentials and basic supplies such as sugar and teabags. Campfires and barbecues are both allowed but must be off the ground.

What customers say

Spectacular views, ample sites, and super friendly staff. Clean facilities, great showers, plus a handy on-site bar/eatery with tasty grub. Peaceful, natural setting and wildlife a hit. Minor points: bar hours sometimes limited, some facilities need updates but new owners are fixing them.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews. Last updated 2026-07-21

Friday night was burger night when we were there

Sun going down over the facilities area and bar

Gorgeous sunsets although this photo doesn't do it justice.

We enjoyed watching the birds but i don't have any photos so here's one of the pooch.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good clean basic facilities, staff friendly and happy to help and gave a nice welcome to the site. Site was nice and quiet on an evening even though it was full. Good access to local town and location felt rural and peaceful. Ducks from the pond waddling around the site was funny. Beer served in the bar was a good pint!

Liked Views. Size of pitch.

Disliked Far too expensive for what you get. Grass wasn’t maintained. Toilets and showers were grubby. I’ve had better facilities in garden centres and in farms for 10-15 per night. I won’t be back.

Liked Staff and bathroom. Only 1 sink to wash up in but did mine early so no waiting

Disliked First and last time on adults only site. No kids means more barking dogs and irresponsible adults.
Quite a trek over uneven ground to bathroom

Local attractions

Kielder Water and Forest within 16 miles are full of watersports activities such as canoeing, sailing, and waterskiing, along with water walker and sea scooter hire. A high ropes course, climbing, zipwiring, fencing, archery and crossbow are among the many forest activities available on and above land. Three of the attractions of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage site are within a short drive: Housesteads Roman fort, the most complete in Britain; Vindolanda, and Chesters Roman Fort, six miles from Hexham. Also famed in the region is Alnwick Castle and Garden 37 miles away, made up of huge formal gardens including the world's largest treehouse, and in a setting that will be instantly recognised by Harry Potter fans (broomstick training is available during the summer months: how magic). The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is about 45 miles from here, to reach Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island via moorland, countryside and ancient forest. The site is 45 miles from Carlisle.
