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: Large pitch which was reasonably flat, toilets and showers were clean enough but could do with some updating. Bar and restaurant on site which was great. Lovely walks in the area.

Disliked: Washing up area was in the same room as all the restaurants freezers and there always seemed to be a queue unless you got there early as it gets locked overnight so could do with a stand alone outside under some shelter maybe?
Not necessarily the campsites fault but first night we had a very loud family drinking and playing music till around 1am after we were warned by the site that it was quiet site from 10pm again not overly bothered but if you had kids then it's just a pre warning second night was much better.

Liked: A Perfect Getaway: Relaxed, Welcoming, and Ideal for Large Tents

We had a fantastic stay at Boe Rigg Campsite. It’s an ideal spot for anyone with a large tent, with plenty of space and well-laid-out pitches that make setting up easy, even in windy conditions.

The site has a lovely farm feel, with a peaceful, down-to-earth atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. It’s owner run, and that personal touch really shines through. The warm, cozy vibe makes you feel genuinely welcome, more like a home from home than just a campsite.

The facilities are thoughtfully designed, with little touches that make a big difference, like shelves and hooks in the showers (so helpful!). And the food? Absolutely brilliant. Tasty, hearty meals that are perfect after a day of exploring or just relaxing on site.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm, friendly place to unwind. We’ll definitely be back

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful location with good size mown pitches. Friendly welcoming staff and excellent having the restaurant onsite. Had dinner there and it was very good. Surrounded by fields of sheep.

Disliked: I can only comment on the ladies toilets but certain elements seemed a little worn out. Flooring coming away etc. Showers only had 1 hook on back of the door to hang stuff on. I didn't end up having a shower as there were groups of kids hanging about in there. Unfortunately my pitch was next to a tree swing which meant kids were constantly crossing my pitch to get to swing and then screaming and playing on the swing until 10pm and started again at 8am. My dog was on a lead but he found it unsettling. The dog next door to us also barked every time a kid went between our tents. It was such a shame as couldve been so peaceful watching the sunset. Most of the pitches down that stretch didn't have kids so to have a stream of kids coming through your pitch from the rest of the site was disappointing. If I had been there longer or got there earlier I'd have asked to go somewhere else. Instead I took refuge on the patio at restaurant and found some peace up there. Maybe a no kids area would be helpful. Parents were not in attendance most of the time and it seemed they considered their kids could scream and shout wherever they liked onsite until 10pm. I wouldn't recommend this site to my friends sadly as they either don't have kids or have quieter kids and would want to enjoy the peace of the location without screaming.

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.
