  • Peaceful Lake District park near Scafell Peak and Wastwater
  • Pub, licensed riverside café and farm shop within five minutes' walk
  • Well-equipped play area, picnic tables and woodland area
Holy moly. You'll likely already be sold with the Lake District location of welcoming Church Stile Farm Holiday Park, in the midst of superbly scenic Wasdale with close-by climbing and kayaking on Scafell Pike and Wastwater. But a hard day clambering and kayaking is always best followed by a fine ale and supper at a local watering hole, so you'll likely be sold all the more with Church Stile’s setting only two minutes’ walk from the pub in local hamlet Nether Wasdale, and a licensed riverside café too. Praise be. All is praiseworthy on site too: Church Stile Farm Holiday Park covers about seven acres of a spacious oak woodland and wildlife-laden setting, with venerable views of the Wasdale valley and the Screes mountain range. Facilities are kept to high standards and include free hot showers in separate ladies’ and gents’ washrooms, free hairdryers (for both ladies and gents, hurrah), and a disabled/family room with baby changing unit. The laundry room has a free freezer for ice blocks, a token-operated washing machine and a dryer. To keep the kids happy when they’re not sorting out the laundry, there’s a well-equipped play area with swings and climbing frames, a grass area for ball games, and a woodland area adjacent to the site for wildlife spotting and walks. Picnic tables are dotted around the park and barbecues/firepits are available to hire (pick up essentials for the barbie in the shop and some wood from the Church Stile team, or venture to the farm shop a few minutes' walk away).

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite boasts a stunning location, ideal for hiking and exploring the Lake District. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the well-stocked on-site shop. The picturesque surroundings, spacious pitches, and proximity to local pubs and Wastwater lake are frequently highlighted as major advantages. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some guests mention the Wi-Fi being limited to the reception area and a few note the distance to toilet blocks from certain pitches.

Liked Lovely site. We stayed here solely to walk Scafell Pike. Delighted to discover it was on the route of the Wasdale Explorer which is a bus service running during the summer on weekends and bank holidays to various places. Very handy. Lovely clean HOT showers. Good shop.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful views around the campsite and lots of different fields to choose from. Free to choose where you want to pitch which was ideal. Facilities were really good, just bog standard but all you really need for camping.

Disliked Showers were a bit temperamental, some were quite cold and didn’t stay on very long.

 Mum of two 1 review

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked We absolutely loved our stay here. The views were beautiful, and the size of the camping pitches was fantastic, plenty of space and privacy.

What really stood out to us was how calm and peaceful the site was. Even during the school holidays, it was incredibly quiet and relaxing, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The reception staff were some of the nicest we’ve come across on a campsite. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

The facilities were also spotless and clearly very well looked after.

We choose this site as we were walking Scarfell Pike one day, which was only a short drive away. Perfect location.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this campsite. We’ll certainly be back.

Ps/ take a walk up to viewpoint through the woodland walk, the views at the top are the best!

Disliked The only downside was that there was just one toilet/shower block for the number of people camping, on a morning it was sometimes a fight to wash your hands for the amount of people quing to use the basin.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked Church Stile was just a great place to stay. It was ideal for us been so close to Scafell Pike.

The site itself has a shop which came in handy, followed by two canny pubs just outside if you couldn't be bothered to cook.

The staff were always friendly.

The toilets were always clean, with the best showers I've used I a long time.

You can do a little walk through the woodlands and see a lovely viewpoint.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked First time visiting this little Gem of a campsite. Very friendly and helpful staff, site lovely and clean, tent pitched nicely spaced out. Toilet/shower block immaculate. Great location for Scafell pike and Wastwater lake. So peaceful and relaxing area. Will definitely return.

Disliked toilet/shower block was a bit of a trek in the night for the loo. Could do with a small one near to the tent field. But wasn’t a major problem.

Local attractions

Whether you’re climbing, canoeing or just ambling gently around with picnic in backpack, the Wasdale valley is a pretty pleasant place for a Lake District break. The valley is over 10 miles long if you fancy a full day’s historic hike, starting from the village of Wasdale Head, the start of the Three Peaks Challenge and the former home of Cumbrian pub landlord Will Ritson, whose tall tales led to the still-going-strong Biggest Liar Competition. One of the tiniest churches in the land, St Olaf’s, is at Wasdale in its ‘Viking fields’: Wasdale was originally settled by Norse farmers and the beams in the church are rumoured to be from Viking longships. Climbers can get to Scafell Pike and Great Gable from Wasdale Head, but walkers can continue along the valley length down to the village of Gosforth, which has the biggest Viking Cross in England at the Grade I-listed St Mary’s Church. Finally, fancy the beach? The Cumbrian coast at Seascale is seven miles from Church Stile Farm (walkable, you might reckon), with miles of sandy beach leading to the Lake District’s only coastal village, the fishing village of Ravenglass.
