Located at the heart of Kielder
Welcome to Kielder Village Camping and Caravan Site.
The site is now closed to the public until March 1st 2018.

May we thank all of our visitors that took to grass, hard stand, pod or static during our 2017 season.
As always, we look forward to seeing you again.
We are situated next to the remotest village in England. Please plan ahead with equipment, food and cigarettes before setting off.
Dogs on a lead, at all times.
Dog friendly site, village pub, tea rooms and the freedom of the woods!
No mobile signal, at all. No whining please.
Our weather will no doubt be different than your weather! [We have a reservoir.....I wonder why?]
To check our local weather check out this website. We have found it to be the 'most' accurate, 'most' of the time.

The site is privately booked for the following dates:
13th - 16th October Inclusive. 12th October Site closed for season.
This rustic campsite is situated in the remotest village in England. We have 20 hard stands with electric hook ups for caravans, motorhomes, campers and trailer tents. Our tent field has room for over 40 tents. We have two 'two bed' static caravan and four pods. (Our pods can sleep up to four people). Due to three extremely wet seasons we have increased our hardstand capacity. Regrettably this has reduced our electric hook up capacity for tents for this season.
We are at the northern tip of Kielder Water. An ideal base for cycling, mountain biking, walking and the opportunity to view our elusive wildlife.
Situated just outside Kielder Village with direct access to all of the mountain bike trails and forest walks. Kielder Castle with the Minotaur Maze are nearby. It has a local pub with restaurant. The Castle hosts a licensed Tea Room. [The site, pub and tea rooms are dog friendly] No extra charge for your pets.
The nightlife......look up and view the stars (Weather permitting) from your tent, pod, camper or caravan. Soak up the remoteness and enjoy your time away from the ebb and flow of everyday life.
We look forward to welcoming you to our part of the Northumbrian Countryside. Why not visit our Things to do page which offers you the opportunity to plan your stay.

Our unpolluted skies offer fantastic opportunities for star gazing and photography. We are an ideal base if you book to attend any event at the Kielder Observatory. Which is a 20 minute drive or a 1 hour walk away.
Back to the 80s
The area has a number of significant attributes that many find irresistible. Be warned, this place really is not for everyone.
Europe's largest Reservoir: fishing from the bank or in a boat, a ferry, the views, a circular shared trail for foot, hoof or cycle can be utilised. Not for the faint hearted, it's 26 miles in total, with no short cut! If you are interested in a little gander try the Kielder Marathon, Kielder Night Run or the Kielder Water Swim.
So you're going to Kielder are you... what about the midgies? (Part one)
Whilst I have been known to stand my ground against the odd brown bear whilst in the Rockies or to stare down a troublesome tiger in Bengal, one beastie I will have nothing to do with is the Kielder Midge.
Hanging around in swarms these little tinkers will have you pleading for mercy within a matter of minutes. However, I will let you into a little secret.
Are you ready? You may wish to sit down.
What a few others have to say...
So there I am slaving away during our [Brief?] summer, unable to put finger to keyboard without a phone ringing or a cup of tea distracting my budding career in procrastination. Rather than try to do any blogging in the summer I felt it better to take the pressure off and save my blogging for later.
And then I did it, I really did. I thought of a cunning ruse! I was amazed at the simplicity of it.....I will get other people to tell me, and the world, just how amazing Kielder was. And not just Kielder, but Kielder Campsite to boot.
