Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2025 Perfect location, facilities, clean need better standard of repair to toilets, otherwise good.
Service at facilities, staff not friendly or chatty, not much verbal information about local area such as villages or jubilee park next to fire and police station for children. Had to find out for ourselves, however, plenty on site to do and exploring.
Tree swing lovely, very shallow river, pitches very spacious, fabulous.
Lovely campsite with great views
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2025 We had a great stay here, the campsite has great views all round and has a lovely little restaurant and bar.
All the staff were nice and friendly, there seemed to always be someone around if you need something. The toilets/showers were fine, although they could have used a bit of love in some areas but there's nothing to complain about.
A comfortable stay during storm Floris
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2025 The Boe Rigg is a cozy quiet campsite situated just outside Bellingham in Northumberland. The scenery is stunning and you should have great views from any pitch on the campsite.
Bellingham is good for a wander, and handy for your daily shopping including a Co-op, an excellent butcher, a fab hardware for anything you might need camping wise, and a few pubs and cafes.
The site staff are friendly and helpful, and the grounds are tidy and well maintained with regular grass cutting, strimming and litter sweeps. Fresh mains water is on tap at various points on the campsite, but depending on your pitch location, you may have a 2-3 minute walk to the toilet block so a good torch is essential if you need to go in the middle of the night.
The toilet and shower blocks are adequate and are cleaned every morning. However, some of the toilet seats and door locks could do with attention to ensure they work correctly, and there was a distinct lack of permanent hooks for hanging clothes, towels and toiletries in the showers.
Overall, The Boe Rigg is an excellent campsite and very good value for money. I'll be returning at some point and have already recommended the site to friends.

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2025 Lovely location, not too far from a shop and amenities in Bellingham.
Amazing views, great walks nearby and nice pitches. Only thing letting it down was the facilities needed some maintenance, broken toilets, sinks, doors and showers out of use. Also, the washing up facilities were not really adequate for the size of the site, 1 sink was not enough.
Excellent stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2025 Service from the patron was excellent. However more impressive still was the willingness from the young waiting staff who couldn't do enough for you during dinner.
Nice but not for a quiet country retreat
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2025 I recently stayed at this campsite and overall had a pleasant experience. The setting is beautiful and the pitches are well maintained.
One thing to note is that the walk to the facilities is quite long, which might be inconvenient for some, especially at night or in bad weather. Additionally, there was noticeable noise coming from the onsite pub in the evenings, which could be a downside if you're looking for a quiet, early night.
That said, the staff really made a difference—they were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the stay, always ready to assist with a friendly attitude. Their attentiveness went a long way in making the trip enjoyable despite a few minor drawbacks.
If you're looking for a sociable atmosphere and don't mind a bit of evening activity, this could be a great spot.
Read more Not as expected VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 Location was good. Lots of room on grass pitches, hard standing pitches were a little cramped.
No dogs allowed in restaurant, only in the bar, which is first come first served for tables despite booking. You have to book a table for food early on, we arrived 4pm and couldn’t eat until 6pm. Food was gorgeous when we did eat.
Toilets and showers leave a lot to be desired, one ladies cubicle didn’t lock and one shower was broken, cleanliness in the facilities was poor overall.
Wouldn’t recommend, we won’t be staying again.
5 star
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Site easy to find, checked in with ease, no issues.
Pitches are a good size and cars easily parked by your pitch. Toilets and showers available 24/7 and kept well maintained. Pub on site with beer garden/sheltered seating. Co-op less than a 5 minute drive.
A wonderful stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 The site was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The staff were nice and the quality of the food was incredible. It was a relaxing atmosphere and will we will definitely go again.
fantastic stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Just came back from staying at The Boe Rigg. We were booked for one night as the Saturday was fully booked. We got an email on the Friday letting us know there had been a cancellation for the Saturday night which we jumped at the chance to fill the slot. Staff were fantastic and pleasant. Neil and Linda were fab hosts, nothing was a bother. The children loved the amount of space to run around the rope swing and exploring the streams and visiting the animals on site. Restaurant was lovely and very reasonably priced. The tea room is very peaceful and sells some amazing things. The showers and toilets were always cleaned and well stocked. We didn't have the best weather but we will definitely be returning. Hopefully with more sunny spells.

Brilliant site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 This was a brilliant site had a lovely walk to take dogs on too.
We had electrics which we prefer. Lovely toilet and shower facilities cleaned daily. We ate food in the bar and both the drinks and the food were perfect compliments to the chef.
Would recommend it.
Great 1st Family Camping Trip
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 For our 1st camping trip with our two younger kids was fantastic, really enjoyable campsite. Nicely spaced pitches with a lot of room. Bar & restaurant is very handy & all the service was great. Location perfect for heading into Kielder for an explore. Can definitely see this campsite becoming our family camping spot.
Excellent location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Great location, staff helpful and friendly.
Nice bar and restaurant.
I would definitely go back.
Boe Rigg stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Great place, peaceful site with good facilities.
Friendly staff and lovely on site bar/ restaurant.
Will definitely be returning.
Lovely campsite and great food!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Really pleasant, peaceful stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant serves some really lovely food and is very reasonably priced.
Only 5 minutes drive from Bellingham, which has a co-op, pharmacy and several pubs. Would definitely return!
Amazing setting
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Great location, set amongst trees and water and a well maintained site with plenty of spaced out pitches.
With regards to facilities, there's clearly work ongoing and will be probably be great by summer.
Unfortunately, our pitch neighbours were incredibly intoxicated and disruptive (noted by the owners at the bar at 4pm), they didn't 'quieten down' until 2am when they were asked by another guest to stop. Given that their behaviour had been acknowledged earlier in the day, it would have been nice to be provided with another pitch away from them. Instead, we were left with a rather restless night!
Great
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Nice campsite with a really good on site bar and restaurant.
A proper campsite!
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Lovely spot with stunning views and friendly service. Lots of space between plots. Only minor comment would be the toilets and showers are in a bit of a need of a freshen up, but do the job perfectly fine.
Easter weekend stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 We stayed for 2 nights on Good Friday wasn't overly busy, tent pitches were a good, was two electric points per pitch and there was a standing water pipe per 2 pitches.
Toilets and shower room were spotless, bar area small but lovely.
The only downfall is that there's only one sink to wash any dishes but wasn't really an issue this weekend.
Easter mini break
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Excellent location and lovely to have bar/restaurant on site. The views are worth the fee alone.
Friendly staff, great location
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 The owner was friendly, the staff were excellent, food was delicious, location was great.
