  • Small, peaceful and pet-friendly site in the coastal village of Drigg
  • Beach and dunes half an hour’s walk; Wastwater 20 minutes’ drive
  • Directly on the Cumbrian Coastal Route; food shop on site
Stay overnight between sand dunes and the fells of the Lake District at Partfield Park, in the cute Cumbrian coastal village of Drigg. The dunes and Drigg's beach are just half an hour's walk away from this small, family-run retreat, and fells and lakes are a short drive in the opposite direction – paddles on Wastwater are just 20 minutes away, to be precise. Your walking prospects are also quite spectacular from here. First of all, the site is directly on the Cumbrian Coastal Route for dreamy strolls along the seafront. Wasdale is half an hour’s drive away for those who'd like to take on England’s highest summit, Scafell Pike. The most direct route begins from the Lake Head car park. After walks high on the fells, you should be glad to return to a hot shower back at base and a collection of convenient facilities including a food shop (with local produce and an off-licence, you might be glad to hear), a washing-up area and toilets. The site is fully off-grid and solar-powered. In this coastal spot, clouds often roll over the valley, giving you sweet, sweet views. Drigg is actually home to the largest sand dune system in Cumbria, so it’s a scenic spot in general. There's also the bonus of having Seascale village five minutes’ drive away. Once a lively Victorian resort destination, Seascale has another beach, an ice cream parlour, a small shop, a golf course and a train station. Country pubs are, of course, a short drive from the site for meals out.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to comment as we didn’t look at facilities but seems like a nice site.

Disliked We booked at the last minute as we live locally and had a power cut at home. When we arrived on site, the owner explained that the power would be turned off at 9pm as they are solar powered and one of their solar panels was damaged in the storm. We arrived on the site at 16.50.
We set up the campervan and put our heating on. We didn’t use the kettle or tv as we had IPads etc.
At 7pm we got a WhatsApp message stating that they would be turning the power off due to power levels dropping. We were the only people on an empty site so I’m not quite sure how they would manage if the site was full or even half full! There was little point in staying on a pitch with no power and we didn’t have enough gas to keep us warm overnight as the trip was very much unplanned so we left and went home where at least we have a woodburner.
It states on pitchup that EHU’s are turned off 2 hours after sunset (in the small print at the bottom!). This wasn’t the case last night. If we used so much power in the 2 hours we were there, I dread to think how much power would be used if there were more people on site (although they were one solar panel down)
MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT CAREFULLY (as we didn’t in the rush of trying to find somewhere to stay!). This is definitely more ‘off grid’ than EHU so if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll enjoy your stay. Perhaps that could be made clearer on the pitchup webpage as it appears that you are booking an EHU when in actual fact you technically aren’t (only part EHU).If you stay in the summer, you’ll be ok as you won’t need much power but definitely NOT a site for a winter stay unless you want to use your gas.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely compact site in cracking location for the Cumbrian beach & Drigg sand dunes with good pitches.
Staff friendly and flexible (in respect to check in / out as opposed to mobility 😄) - a last minute booking date change was not an issue.
Facilities excellent from showers to refuse!
Train station & bus facilities very near by!

Disliked A local pub.
Wi-Fi needed a bit of a boost.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the fantastic feedback and for recommending us. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the site, the facilities and the brilliant access to the beach and dunes. Your comment about our flexibility made us smile — we’re always happy to help where we can.
Wi‑Fi is something we’re continuing to strengthen, and we completely agree about the lack of a nearby pub, watch this space as it has now been sold so hopefully will open again soon.
We’d love to see you again on your next trip to the area.

Modern, clean site with level pitches.…

Liked It makes you feel like you're off-grid, super quiet, in a beautiful little village by an untouched beach.... 20 minute walk and you're by the sea. Great links to coastal walks and you're a short drive from the peaks that are on your list to get done before the end of your holiday. There's a train that will take you up and down the coast, Seascale and St Bees we're lovely to visit but Ravenglass was really cool, especially the steam engine railway that you can go on.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments — “a little piece of paradise” is exactly what we hope guests feel when they stay here. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the quiet setting, the beach walks and the coastal train trips. Ravenglass and the La’al Ratty are such gems. We’re really pleased you’d recommend us and plan to return. We look forward to seeing you again.

Disliked local pub was shut but had a sold sign on it so hopefully will be back in business soon

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to stay with us. We’re really pleased you found the site clean and tidy, enjoyed the shop, and felt well looked after — our team will be delighted to hear your kind words.

It’s a shame the local pub was closed during your visit, though we’re hopeful the recent change of ownership will bring it back to life soon. It’s always nice for guests to have another nearby option, so fingers crossed it reopens before long.

We’re glad you had a great stay overall and would love to welcome you back again whenever you’re in the area.

Local attractions

First and foremost, Drigg beach (half an hour’s walk) is just over a mile away from Partfield Park for windswept dunes, miles of sandy walks and some small rockpools that might be of interest to those who are curious to see what creatures the sea has washed in. There’s more water inland, specifically three miles of it at England’s deepest lake, Wastwater (20 minutes’ drive). Wild swimming’s popular there, as is canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Just over in Ravenglass is the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway (10 minutes) for steam-powered trips to Dalegarth. From there, you could take off on a ramble in the fells around the Eskdale Valley. Otherwise, make your return west for sights like Muncaster Castle (10 minutes), which has a hawk and owl centre where eagles, falcons and owls show off at flying displays. Inside the state rooms of the castle are old paintings and gorgeous furnishings from the Victorian period. Another pillar of local history is the Hardknott Roman Fort & Thermae (half an hour), where you can lay your eyes on the remains of an old fort from Hadrian’s Wall.
