    Lovely spot overlooking the reservoir. I paid by card at the Castle, which was £12. I arrived near midnight and the ranger was waiting for me as he could see on the system that somebody had booked. I picked a slopey part of the car park near the ferry port, in the morning I noticed that the spaces at the front middle are much flatter. The toilets were immaculate. Good phone signal on 3.

    overnight parking now possible, booked online via waterside parks website. £10 overnight, £5 all day. A few flat areas, bins provided but toilets currently shut for maintenance.

  • 1/5

    Overnight parking not allowed anymore - moved on within 20 minutes.

  • 2/5

    Lovely big car park, great views no height restrictions but we tried to stay last night and we were moved on by the warden. There are temp signs up now saying no overnight parking.

  • 3/5

    Absolutely idyllic spot, lovely that they leave the facilities open and offer £10 for overnight parking. We paid the £10 then the wind died down and we had to leave because of the Midges so maybe a better spot for later in the year!

  • 5/5

    Nice spot with toilets open all night and great place for walks. Lots of midges however.

  • 3/5

    Lovely spot. Midges unbearable from around 18.30 (end of june). Didnt stay even though paid as too warm not to have windows open and midges get through mesh £10 for overnight stay (2 All day tickets x £5) Coin only. would be great if not for midges.

  • 3/5

    Only addition to other comments is that the site is infested with midges (in mid June) so be prepared. They’re ravenous critters.

  • 5/5

    Great overnight car park. £10 pay online or at ticket machine(cash only) warden comes around 9pm. He also stays on the dam face road from 11pm till 6am for security ( monitors who’s driving in etc eliminate boy racers etc) great walks and view of the reservoir. Not the levelest of sites but us ramps.

  • 5/5

    Paid online £10 for the night, signals not great, warden came round at about 9pm but was really understanding that I couldn’t load the email to confirm my ticket! There is a slope, I had gone up the curb to level it but the warden asked me to not do that again so be aware to bring something to level out with. Loads of space and toilets were open all night. Few coming and going during the night but no other noise.

  • 5/5

    £10 a night, bought with 2x£5 tickets from the machine. Parking spaces are about 6m length, but there’s enough space for overhangs on larger Motorhomes on the grass verges. Pitches do slope. Nice place to stay, good value. Toilets open during the day - very clean.

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot for walks and overnight stay. Level’ish but definitely level enough !. Room for at least 20 large vans. Beautiful views over the reservoir with easy access across the top of the damn. The friendly warden checked our ticket and said he patrolled the area until about 5am which is a security bonus ! The loos which were clean were still open at 10pm. Full 4g signal on O2

  • 5/5

    Had a good night here. The parking attendant did visit so make sure you pay. The machine only lets you put £5 max in so you need to buy two tickets. or you can pay online. Perfect location to explore Kielder. Nice and flat, quiet apart from the owls. loos closed at night which is annoying but apart from that great!

  • 4/5

    10£ for 24 hours in a really nice setting. loads of walking and toilet was fine. Vehicles moving about at 11pm was the only gripe, late arrivals I assumed probably trying to avoid paying but the friendly warden checks vans for tickets.

  • 5/5

    Great find in our LWB sprinter conversion. Flatish gravel carpark. Easy access to the forest trails. Disabled toilet was open and there was recycling and refuse bins. £10 paid at the machine if in use. We paid on the Kielder water website Friendly ranger came over as we arrived and advised us to move. We'd managed to choose a spot right next to where he'd be coming and going all night.

  • 4/5

    Very peaceful location with lots or room. The male toilets were locked, however the disabled toilet was open.

    Stayed here 14/11/21 after reading reviews on here we stopped off at keilder waterside and purchased a ticket from the 24 hour shop (went to tower knowe visitors centre first but it’s shut until March) MAKE SURE YOU BUY A TICKET!! the warden will come and check :) Nice & quiet flattish car park, a few others also using the car park but well spaced out…toilets were open for use. Stunning views!!

    We stayed here 11/11/2021. Beautiful spot and very quiet. Paid online but there wasn’t a signal so had to walk down the lake path for 20 mins until we found a signal. The warden came round about 8.30pm to check we’d payed and said that we could of paid at the ticket machine, buying 2 x £5 pay and display tickets, but we didn’t have enough cash, so take cash! Warden very nice, however he did say people were abusing the overnight facility, by not paying and leaving human waste, grrrrrr and that the water authority were reviewing whether to continue allowing people to overnight there.

  • 5/5

    Came here after reading the reviews and it wasn't very clear whether you could stay or not. there are a few signs that state no overnight or wild camping. we went to hawkhope car park, which is round the back if you follow the road and there is a sign to pay for overnight parking but you can do it online. it doesn't take your money at the machine.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot with great views. Paid £10. There was a few others there but it was very peaceful. Warden called round about 9pm to check we had a ticket. Toilets were open and were decent too. All parking spaces were quite sloped, could’ve done with some levelling blocks. Would definitely stay again though.

  • 4/5

    Brilliant place for overnight stay. £10 to park, ticket bought at the visitors centre. The warden did come round to check. The toilets were open but there were signs to say they were only open until October. The view of the dam and Kielder was stunning even in the rain! I wish more places would do this. Beware of midgies and mosquitoes-there’s loads of them.

  • 5/5

    £10 to stay for the night and a warden comes and checks your ticket at around 9pm. Really lovely car park with great views of the water and ideal for walks around Keilder. Toilets available all night which were clean, and bins too. October 2021

  • 5/5

    Lovely quiet spot with fab views over Kielder Water. I would recommend levelling chicks though as all parking spaces are slightly sloping. This is a Dark skies area too, but cloudy when we stayed unfortunately.

  • 5/5

    Nice spot for an overnight,you have to pay£10 at tower knowe visitors centre which is further along the resevior. very quiet spot,watch for the midges tho...lots to do and see round kielder..

  • 3/5

    Nice place. There are no signs about paying for overnight but it’s £10 paid at the visitor centre. A warden checks every night so don’t try to get away with it!

  • 5/5

    We stayed here last night, Northumbrian water have have only just opened it up for over night stays, there were 4 other vans and a very friendly Ranger came round to check tickets had been paid for overnight also drives around during the night checking everything is in order, great views, very peaceful. Cars leave around 6pm, plenty of space. Public toilets open all night and big bins located on site too.
