General
- Family-run site with scenic views across farmland and fells
- A 15-minute drive to the city of Carlisle and 30 to the Lake District
- Supermarkets, restaurants and a swimming pool a 25-minute walk away
For views of fells, farmland and fields make Camping at Cardewlees your next base for a hol – this family-run site looks out over splendid Lake District scenery including Carrock Flat Top, High Pike and Skiddaw...
Whether you plan on having hardy hikes or gentle jaunts over the hills, they’re easy to reach as the park is about a 30-minute drive from the northern end of the Lakes. It’s also a 25-minute walk to the small but perfectly formed village of Dalston if you’re not wanting to amble far for a supermarket and restaurants, and as the community’s a regular Cumbria in Bloom winner there are sure to be a fair few flower displays to ooh and ahh over...
The village’s play areas and public swimming pool mean you might even be able to tempt kids along for a wander too – the river setting is top for rambling. The Cumbria Way ends at Carlisle and runs through Dalston, so you could join the 70-mile long-distance trail here (or just stop off for a stay at Camping at Cardewlees during an epic walk from one side to the other).
Cycle paths are also strewn through the local landscapes for long or short rides. Before you head off for the day, fill up on breakfast prepped by the site’s owners; just check it’s available when you arrive.
Amenities include a shower and regularly cleaned unisex toilets.
Open from 18/04/2019 to 30/09/2022

Basic site, friendly, close to the Lake District with great views.
From the manager...
Thanks for your feedback. Our facilities are basic but we try to represent this in our rates. Unfortunately we are not on mains sewerage and excessive use of toilet paper can sometimes cause a blockage. We are always available and onsite so if there are any issues we are only a phone call away. |

From the manager...
i am so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. The toilets are cleaned twice a day morning and evening and there is a sign with contact details asking campers to call us if they are unhappy with the cleanliness. Unfortunately although we make every effort to keep the facilities clean we are not able to account for the condition they are left in by other campers. |

Local attractions
If you’re keen on history, you could be learning about Carlisle’s in a jiffy – it’s a 15-minute drive from Camping at Cardewlees. The Great Border City also has a castle where Mary Queen of Scots spent a stint behind bars and a cathedral that was founded in 1133. For a flutter on the horses, a racecourse serves the local area too.
To go further back in time – think close to 2,000 years – Hadrian’s Wall, the most visited Roman ruin in the whole of Britain, is a 40-minute drive from the site. The Walltown Crags section’s a stellar place to start your journey to a couple of millennia ago: this stretch of the original wall has eye-popping views over the patchwork of fields below.
Not tired out after your epic journey along the Cumbria Way? Set off along the 84-mile Hadrian’s Wall Path, which runs from one side of England's coast to the other.
