Border Forest Caravan Park

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

Niepolubione 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.

Showers work hot and good pressure,ok not the latest BUT WORK!

Polubione 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.

Od administratora: Thank you for your support and positive review.

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

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

Polubione 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.

Polubione 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.

Niepolubione 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.

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.

Polubione Stayed in pod which was warm and dry

Niepolubione 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.

Od administratora: 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!

Polubione 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.

Niepolubione For me the site was fine.

Od administratora: Thank you. Great photography

Polubione Location is fantastic for lots of lovely peaceful walks. The site has its own large dog walking area too. Staff we met were friendly and helpful. Showers had plenty of continuous hot water but the block itself could do with a little tlc. Appreciate this is towards end of season and all facilities will have had lots of footfall.

Niepolubione The long walk to the toilets from the Motorhome/Campervan pitches if you need to go through the night. A toilet block near these pitches would make a world of difference.

Polubione Lovely site, small, peaceful, great location to escape for a few days. First time away in our camper van. Friendly staff and owners, loved the dog walking area, beautifully landscaped along the river with ponds for wildlife. Will definitely stay here again. Great site.

Niepolubione Unsure why the toilets for the camper van pitches were closed? Seems a bit odd only having the ones at the other side of the site open when the static caravans have their own toilets and showers on board. Didn't feel comfortable getting to them on my own in pitch dark middle of the night. Surely the ones near the camper vans are the ones that need to be open?

Od administratora: Hi thank you for your comments
Reason we now only have main toilets and showers open is, we keep having problems with them ,they would have to be completely knocked down and rebuilt,the cost would be considerable, There are 2 pitches very near the toilets ,plus another close .
We are in the middle of the Dark skies area ,so have to keep lighting down
