Remote site set on the edge of Northumberland National Park
A short drive to Kielder Water and Forest watersports activities
Café/bar on site selling local produce and crafts

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 daily to sell produce and handicrafts from local growers and craftspeople. Among The Boe Rigg's other amenities are accessible washrooms with toilets and hot showers, a launderette with washers and dryers and a washing-up area. Free wifi is available in the main building. Campfires and barbecues are both allowed but must be off the ground.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The site is stunning, in some of the most picturesque landscapes. Waking up to morning mists being slowly turned into cloudless days. The on site restaurant (whilst not cheap) produces high quality food that tastes great and has a wide choice of styles, the cellar also does not disappoint. The staff were friendly and always ready to help.

Disliked: The toilet facilities are in dire need of an upgrade with one shower stall not draining properly (I was informed that these are due to be renovated).

Loved the site itself. When camped you could see for miles !…

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Loved the site itself. When camped you could see for miles ! Very quiet and peaceful. Food was lovely in restaurant on site

Disliked: It seemed we had come in the middle of renovations possibly ? The toilets/ showers had lighting wires still in the ceiling where lights had been moved. The showers one of the doors didn’t lock and there’s no much space to put your things. The facilities felt as if it was half finished or half thought about and they were more fussed about there restaurant

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.
