Border Forest Caravan Park

Likte This is a lovely peaceful park and very scenic this would’ve been our 4th stay here if not double booked.

Likte ikke Not being double booked after 1hr drive and having to find somewhere else for the evening

Likte Easy access to the Pennine way and walking. Quiet site.

Likte ikke The toilet block is well past its prime, smelling of damp.

Fra bestyreren: As I have said before we are a Marmite Site ,either you love it here or you dont!
Thank goodness most of our people do.

Likte Lovely quiet setting. Pod was warm and had heating if needed.

Likte ikke Water tap next to pod not working. So further to go for nearest water.
Toilet block was right at other end of site. So a trail at any time.
The shower had good pressure and was hot but the space was cold and tired. In need of a bit of tlc.
Some form of basic supplies would have been good given how far from shops/eateries etc.

Fra bestyreren: Tap in kitchen 60 meters
Showers work hot and good pressure,ok not the latest BUT WORK!

Likte Great site situated in the middle of nowhere. Ideal for piece and quiet, and right on the Pennine Way and local trails for hiking and dog walking. Site facilities are basic, I'd say more aimed at campers but the showers were nice and warm which makes all the difference. Local cafe just a short drive up the road serving great food. Owner was polite and welcoming.
Would definitely visit again when stopping in the area.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your support and positive review.

Likte The best dog walking area I’ve found at a campsite, lots of space, interesting paths, really lovely.

Likte ikke The shower block is tired, however the showers themselves are very good.

Likte Beautiful site. Very peaceful and relaxed. Stunning setting in the forest with a river flowing by. Facilities are basic but good - hot showers, undercover washing up area and even a microwave. We had a warm welcome and the staff were all really nice. We loved it here and will come back.

Likte Great site nestled within Kielder Forest in Northumberland.
The site is relatively small with the majority of spaces taken up with static vans however, touring pitches are all located next to the streams running through the site. Electricity is an easy hook up and fresh drinking water is close at hand to any of the pitches you have as well as waste water.
The shower/toilet block is a short meander away which are adequate to your needs. There not plush but they serve a purpose.
If you’re bringing pets along there’s more than enough options for walks and strolls with a pig pen onsite for the younger ones to enjoy.
Overall, our visit near the end of September was quite and the site owners are certainly very friendly, welcoming and happy to assist.

Likte ikke This is an observation more than anything else and should certainly not be construed as a negative; slightly better signage for amenities i.e. showers & grey water waste disposal.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your positive kind review!
We do inform new customers as they bookin ,where the showers are and dogs must be on a lead whilst on the park itself.~
I agree with your observation re Grey water lack of signage,will try to rectify.

Likte Stayed in pod which was warm and dry

Likte ikke Camp beds and 2 small chairs in pod would be helpful.
Washing facilities and campers kitchen in need of updating.
A small shop with the very basics would help pennine way walkers and other campers as no real shop in the village which is some distance away.

Fra bestyreren: Why did you not read the information we provided
Pod is an empty tent, which we clearly state!. Over the twenty years I have been here ,occasionally we get walkers who have attitude ( I am special I am a walker) and you fit the bill exactly!

Likte The site is in beautiful area, well situated for visiting Scotland and Kielder.

There is a dog walk, that is one of the best I have ever visited.

I read the reviews about the showers but found them fine, plenty of hot water and clean. A couple of the showers have the toilets and a hand basin in them, I always find this a bonus.

Pitches are a good size and there is an elsan point and pot washing facilities near to the touring pitches, so you don’t have to walk far.

The gentleman who checked us in was efficient and friendly.

Likte ikke For me the site was fine.
