  • Small adults-only motorhome site in Kielder Forest Park
  • Kielder Castle under a mile away; observatory 10 minutes' drive
  • Serviced hardstanding pitches in the UK's largest dark sky park
There's some really excellent hiking, mountain biking and wildlife watching to be done in the Northumberland National Park – but if there's one thing this park is really known for, it's surely the fantastic stargazing. A whopping 572 square miles here have been given Gold Tier status for their incredible dark skies, making this the largest International Dark Sky Park in the UK (and the second largest in Europe). If you're travelling in a motorhome, you’ll be able to take full advantage of these fabulous surroundings at Clear Sky Lodge Park, an adults-only touring site on the edge of Ravenshill Forest and with views over the North Tyne Valley. That setting means the views here are gorgeous by day – but they're potentially even better by night, when the starry displays start up. If you're keen to learn more about what you’re seeing, head to nearby Kielder Observatory (10 minutes' drive) for one of their regular events. And this great location also means you'll have plenty to do by day as well, exploring the trails of surrounding Kielder Forest Park, visiting Kielder Castle and heading down to Kielder Water. You might also like to throw in a day trip to the Roman attractions around Hexham (50 minutes' drive away). Preserving the dark-sky status of this park means that facilities here have necessarily been kept to a minimum, but guests have access to toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point. Pitches all have water and electric connections, and they’re on hardstanding that should be accessible in all weathers.

What customers say

A highly recommended, peaceful spot in Kielder Forest. Lovely, modern facilities and spacious pitches. Fantastic forest views and quiet for stargazing. Great for walks and cycling. Midges noted, but overwhelmingly positive with many wanting to return.

GLENN S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great little site for motor homes.all are hard standings and there are only '6'.
Very quiet site only the bird song in the mornings.
The amenities are very clean and there's 2 large shower rooms and two toilets with sink and mirror aswell.
There's a washing machine and tumble dryer with washing liquid supplied as well as all all dish cloths,sponge and other washing utensils ready for you to use,even an apron 👍.
The park up itself is very tidy no litter or mess anywhere.
There rubbish bins to get rid of your own bin bags.
All in all I would rate this site as A++.
It was perfect for us as local activities were just up the road and if your into your mountain biking there's a bike hire/service shop and MTB routes at the end of the drive into the site.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Liked It's a lovely site in stunning surroundings with level hard pitches. We booked this site due to it's close proximity to the observatory where we were going that evening 9-midnight. We arrived back in the early hours and just sat outside our campervan in awe looking at the stars which was a spectacular sight. It also has free WiFi.
We also loved that it was adults only and was a small site and the toilet/shower block was brand new and was beautifully made and very stylish and was spotlessly clean. Even the soap was Molton Brown and it had a fab washing up area and 2 washing machines which we didn't use as we were only there for 1 night but we will definitely be back. The owners were also very friendly. Highly recommended, it's a gem.

Disliked There was nothing we disliked.

Local attractions

Given how close it is, your first visit should be to Kielder Castle, just under a mile away. It's got a variety of exhibits about the area’s history and wildlife, a lovely café and a bird hide where you can look out for the resident ospreys. Bikes can be hired here, or you can head out on a scenic drive along the toll road. There are plenty of options nearby for walks, of course – and one of the best is the Lakeside Way, an accessible multi-user trail that runs all the way along the 26-mile shoreline of Kielder Water (10 minutes’ drive). Look out for native red squirrels as you go – Kielder is home to about half of the country's population – or head to the Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre (15 minutes) to see other local wildlife. If you're into mountain biking, you may like to cross the Scottish border to 7 Stanes - Newcastleton (25 minutes); if it’s history that’s more your thing, try heading to Hadrian's Wall to explore places like the Temple of Mithras (45 minutes) and Housesteads Roman Fort (50 minutes).
