Personally i think £10 is a bit steep for 1 nights stay on just a basic car park which would ordinarily be empty and generate no revenue.
£5 yes but £10 no, it is too much IMHO.
After a little checking
A little confusing.The sign in Annies Post above clearly states Highlighted in Red on the sign "Camping is not permitted on this site" BUT when one goes on the Kielder Water Website it says this relating to Motorhomes and Campers
"The car parks will be checked at random and campers will be expected to have paid.
We expect users to take all their rubbish home and no open fires are permitted.
We see this as a great opportunity for campers to enjoy the parks fantastic dark skies.
The overnight parking is for vehicles only used for camping, NO use of tents permitted.
We encourage campers to use the formal campsites in Kielder and also surrounding areas, but we do want to support those who would rather park in a quiet areas and enjoy the park.
Electric car charging points are available for use at the following sites in Kielder Water & Forest Park"
So it says here vehicles permitted for camping! And we encourage campers.
very confusing

Any better?
Pay the tenner, and drop them an email saying you did but thought it was high.
£10 is too much and I can see people not paying if there is a chance of getting away with it.Personally i think £10 is a bit steep for 1 nights stay on just a basic car park which would ordinarily be empty and generate no revenue.
