Modern and accessible holiday park on the Solway coast, near the M6
A half-hour drive to Carlisle or the Lake District National Park
Bistro, bar, well-equipped gym and tuck shop on site; dogs welcome

Coast, countryside and city time are all easily accessible from Bowness on Solway Camping and Glamping… and this Cumbria park is also just a short way from the M6 and the England/Scotland border, making it a handy spot for a stopover on long journeys north or south too. This smart modern complex (part of the Hunter Leisure Group) is within the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about 20 minutes’ drive from Wigton. The location is an excellent one for days out along this quiet stretch of coast, visits to the city of Carlisle or time spent exploring the northern stretches of the Lake District National Park. Facilities at this park have been particularly well thought out… there’s a well-equipped gym that guests can use for an extra charge, and a bistro and bar where you can undo all the good work you’ve just done. If you don’t need a full meal, steer instead to the tuck shop to pick up ice creams, soft drinks, slushies and alcoholic drinks. Everything has been set up to be accommodating to as wide a range of guests as possible – facilities are accessible for less mobile guests, and those travelling with dogs are welcome (they even sell doggie ice cream in the shop…)

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: The staff were so friendly and helpful and the toilets and showers were fabulous, like being in a hotel. Also liked that there was a bar and restaurant on site with good food at reasonable prices.

Disliked: I liked everything, only thing was I struggled a bit to find it but that was my fault really.

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Toilet and shower facilities good and very clean,friendly owners, quiet site in quiet village reasonably priced for what you get

Disliked: The gravel pitches are basically in the bistro car park there’s no view, there’s nothing wrong with it for a stop over but for a longer stay I prefer a view and could be better sign posted there is only a small sign on the wall

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The site layout is amazing, having shower facilities and toilets so close to the tent pitches are a god send. The staff are always so accommodating and the Bistro is amazing, fairly priced and even the little touches such as a box of Lego for kids, 50p pool table, Xbox and a free retro games console to use.

1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked: Great little cabin with anything you need. So easy and laid back approach, food onsite was fantastic. My son (aged 5) absolutely loved the experience and couldn't wait to tell everyone all about it.

Disliked: Only issues was the cabins being so close in proximity.

Local attractions

If it’s the wilder side of the coast that attracts you, take your binoculars along to see what you can spot at RSPB Campfield Marsh nature reserve (five minutes’ drive). More of a sandy stroll and paddling type? Aim for beaches in Allonby or Silloth (both half an hour), both long sandy beaches with good waves for watersports action. To see some bigger animals, head off for hands-on sessions at Walby Farm Park (half an hour) or get to know gibbons, zebra and snakes at the Lake District Wildlife Park (40 minutes). If history's more your thing, a day out in Carlisle (half an hour) should provide plenty of fodder in the form of the castle, cathedral and Tullie House Museum. If you’ve not got kids in your party, tours and tastings at The Lakes Distillery (35 minutes) and Annandale Distillery (45 minutes) might be on the cards. Or how about surprising the folk back home by coming back with a little something from Gretna Green (half an hour), that well-known elopement destination?
