Border Forest Caravan Park

Liked Friendly staff, easy to find. Good hot water, toilets and small kitchen area next to the touring pitches. Everything clean and tidy.

It's really, really dark at night😁

Disliked Shower block could have been warmer (it's mid October, so quite chilly). As others have stated, it's a little dated.

From the manager: Thank you pleased you enjoyed your stay!
Heating in the showers , it’s still summer , I haven’t put my vest on yet! I am trying to toughen up you youngsters and save the Planet

Liked We loved everything. Management were pleasant and helpful. Being wheelchair dependant, our tourer is adapted for my special needs, but hubby tells me that the toilets and showers were pristine. The road surfaces and pitches were all smooth enough to allow me to access the whole park, and even venture a fair distance outside of the park, to look at and enjoy time by the river. Many camp sites are deep in gravel, which is no go for wheelchairs, walking frames . Peace and quiet, lots of bird song. The perfect place for walkers, dog owners, bird watchers and people like me who love to just sit around, doing nothing very much. We'll be back.xx

Disliked I'm sure that rainy weather was the culprit, but if the grass had been a little shorter along the path to the bridge, I would have been able to venture further. I did meet one lady who had a complaint. She said that her dogs would be going home an inch shorter than when they arrived, because they've never walked so much or had so much fun in their lives.

Liked Super site. Right at the edge of Kielder Forest. Toilet and shower facilities were clean & sufficient. Owner was very friendly and helpful. You pay £10 for a fob to enter the barrier and get it refunded on leaving. You need an extra long cable for EHU as standard won’t reach. Great walks right from the site and the stargazing is fabulous. The skies were very clear we saw the Milky Way, millions of stars including shooting stars. There are no shops or eating places nearby so take enough food and drink if you’re not planning on driving around. It’s a very peaceful site with 3 pet pot bellied pigs which are very friendly and chicken wandering around.Theres a super large dog walking area through a gate next to the touring pitches where the dogs could run wild off lead. Fresh drinking water is available and there’s a toilet waste disposal area and a small kitchen for use to wash up which also has a microwave and some basic cleaning things(mop/bucket/vacuum/brush and pan) there are books and dvd’s to borrow in the kitchen. We also had full phone signal despite being very remote and my campervan small aerial picked up all channels. We would definitely recommend this site and will visit again.

Disliked We didn’t dislike anything however should have had a drive away awning so we could have gone off further to explore but we did lots of walking locally all the same

Liked The showers and toilets are amazingly clean … best camp I have ever stayed in for cleanliness, owners are friendly and the dog walking area is lovely ! Our lab Elvis loved playing in the river also the little kitchen area with microwave is a very good idea

Disliked I know they let you know it’s remote /quiet but does state a pub within 5 miles … we went and the pub was shut… another pub in Otterburn … nowhere to park …. Drove 29 miles to Jedburgh and no pubs open … no local shops amenities

From the manager: We have installed new Bristan showers , in all our seven showers August 2025
All our cottages ,men’s and women’s showers ,are heated from the same powerful boiler . We have not had any other complaints, so maybe you didn’t operate correctly?
Weather during your stay ,was unfortunately very wet and sometimes grass cuttings come in to shower areas.
We do clean regularly

Liked Peaceful well kept site and has all you need for a great stay near Keilder and lots of walks.The owners are brilliant and very helpful.The nearest shop is in Otterburn 20mins south of site on A68 so stock up before you get there.Highly recommend this place.
