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

Friendly, peaceful spot with big pitches and amazing views. Staff are lekker and helpful, with a great bar/cafe. Facilities mostly clean, some being redone. Good base for exploring, many people come back. A few minor hiccups with availability and times.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely fantastic stay, would highly recommend.

The site is well laid out & facilities are very clean and well looked after.

Couldn't ask for a kinder staff team who upon arrival shared where everything was & gave us a range of options to pitch.

We ate at the bar for tea & breakfast.
The food while not a huge menu was really tasty & filling. The bar had a good stock & even stayed open late for football fans to enjoy the match. The staff couldn't be more helpful whenever we needed anything.

The shop seemed very well stocked with a range of what you need for both you & your dog if you take them too.

Would highly recommend, its a really well maintained site, gorgeous views with everything you could need for a weekend break.

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.
