Woodland campsites in Kielder Forest

·

Kielder Forest draws campers for its dense woods, remote trails, and dark night skies. You’ll find over 50 forest camping spots here, from wild pitches under Scots pines to woodland clearings set up for campfires. Average nightly price hovers around £75, but you can snag a pitch for as little as £20. Travelling with your dog? Pets are welcome at many sites. Toilets and campfire pits are common—no need to rough it completely. Horseback-riding, wild swims, and red squirrel sightings are all on the cards. Top picks include Beirhope Alpacas (86 reviews), Ewe Love Camping Pods (43 reviews), and Camping at Cardewlees (20 reviews). If you want a forest base with a bit of comfort and real wildlife, Kielder delivers. Don’t forget to pack for the midges and unpredictable weather.
