Campsites for hikers in Kielder Forest

·

You’ll find over 160 hiking-friendly camping spots scattered through Kielder Forest, where thick spruce, wide skies, and quiet trails draw out serious ramblers. Average prices hover around £75 per night, but you can set up for as little as £20 if you know where to look. Most sites offer toilets, allow campfires, and welcome pets. Wildlife-watching and a bit of climbing are easy add-ons—red squirrels and roe deer aren’t rare sights if you’re up early.
