Nestled in the heart of Northumberland, this eco-friendly campsite runs on solar and wind power, offering a tranquil escape surrounded by stunning scenery. Guests consistently praise the warm and welcoming owners, who go out of their way to help with everything from choosing a pitch to jump-starting a car. The site is exceptionally quiet and peaceful, making it perfect for stargazing thanks to minimal light pollution. Pitches are spacious, level, and set on well-kept grass, providing plenty of room between campers. The toilet and shower facilities are basic but kept very clean, with the added bonus of a family bathroom featuring a full bath. A small on-site shop sells essentials like camping gas and confectionery, and the community-run bar opens on weekends for a local touch. Direct access to Kielder Forest and nearby trails makes this an ideal base for hiking, cycling, and dog walking. The site is dog-friendly, though pets must stay on leads, and the surrounding area offers lovely walks straight from the gate. Visitors enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the feeling of being in a remote bubble away from everyday life. Some minor niggles include midges (insect repellent is recommended), occasional wet grass after mowing, and dated fixtures in the washrooms. The showers can be a bit compact, and a few more washing-up sinks would be welcome. Solar and wind power underscore a strong commitment to sustainability. The community-run weekend bar adds a unique local flavor to the stay. Families appreciate the spacious pitches and the family bathroom. Overall, the site provides excellent value for money, with a focus on sustainability, cleanliness, and a serene environment ideal for nature lovers and those seeking a quiet retreat. The remote location enhances the sense of escape from everyday life.
