Super endroit le long d'une route de gravier jusqu'au parking du point de vue. Nuit calme partagée avec 2 autres fourgonnettes et réveillé avec une vue magnifique ensoleillée
Great place along a gravel road to the viewpoint car park. Quiet night shared with 2 other vans and woke to great sunny view. At entry there is a sign stating no overnight alowed, at the location there is a sign stating overnight allowed if you have bought a 10£ ticket.

Parking machine still out of action. Nobody came to collect cash. No intention going elsewhere to pay. 3 vans overnight. £30 income lost. No services but a nice level overnight stop. No data signal on EE or Vodafone.
There is just two permitted overnight parking spots in this area and this is one of them (Castle is the other one.). Pay machine takes coins only. You pay 5£ for the day until 3pm and 10£ for overnight parking. The ticket for overnight parking can only be bought from 8pm on. There is no phone receiption.
Great spot, very quiet and a bargain at £10, have to pay at the visitor centre. Amazing spot for star gazing if it’s a clear night, there was a lot of midgies on the morning, but that’s expected in that sort of environment
Decent spot. Nice and level gravel car park away from main road up the hill at the viewpoint. £10 a ticket as part of campervan scheme. Quiet uninterrupted nights sleep. Beware the midgies which are bad at all of Kielder right now! No phone signal on EE
Machine working, £10pp. We were the only ones so decided to chance the awning, ranger came by and didn’t seem to mind. There’s a gravel parking bay next to the car park (perhaps free??) which a few different cars stopped at during the evening, but we parked in the main carpark, just few people parked up the morning to enjoy the viewpoint. Would have been pretty perfect apart from a few tissues thrown in the bushes.
Lovely quiet spot. Great view. As you come up the gravel road there is space for one van alone on left and a couple at the top. Short walk less perhaps a mile along road to visitor centre (where overnight also permitted for £10) with cafe toilets and gift shop.
Great quiet spot. Did expect the steep gravel winding path up so just be aware. currently ticket machine isn't working and told to go to castle at other end of the water to buy a ticket but no ranger came when I was there. road at the bottom has very little traffic so noise isn't a problem.
Great spot. There's usually going to be other campers there in summer but we visited 3 weekends in a row during winter and were completely alone. Great views of Kielder Water and the stars on a clear night are out of this world. £10 fee but rarely checked. Tell them you're visiting the castle in the morning and plan to buy your ticket when you get there.
You are allowed to stay here, but you need to purchase a ticket, £10 for the night at Kielder Castle Visitor Centre car park. Machine takes cash or card.
Nice location however you are supposed to pay now (see picture). We missed the sign and had one good night of sleep without trouble but I would not risk the fine. No cell coverage for me except when all the way on top of the viewpoint
