  • Peaceful family-run park on the Cumbria coast three miles from Silloth
  • Lake District half an hour's drive; 40 minutes to Carlisle
  • Dog-friendly site with access to a long sandy beach
A west-facing site is a lovely thing, allowing you to spend the evening raising a glass (and/or a sausage from the barbecue) to the colourful sunset unfolding in front of you. The only thing that could make this picture even better? A sea view to go with your sunset… and that's exactly what you can expect at Rowanbank Caravan Park. This peaceful family-run park is on the Cumbria coast, five minutes’ drive south of Silloth and right next to a huge sandy beach that's a popular spot for fishing, dog walks and long coastal strolls. Dogs are, of course, welcome on site as well… You'll be just outside the Solway Coast National Landscape here, so there are plenty more walking options around there, or in the northern parts of the Lake District National Park, which is about half an hour's drive away. Add in a championship golf course, a go-kart track, a wildlife park and several historic sites nearby and you should have a location with something to suit most tastes when it comes to days out. This is a laidback and friendly site with simple facilities in the form of toilets, showers, a washing-up area, an Elsan point and a launderette. Bring a barbecue along and you'll be able to load it with supplies from the small supermarket in Silloth, which is also a handy place to find cafés and takeaways (fish and chips on the beach, anyone?)

 Matt P. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Well kept neat campsite mainly with static mobile homes and caravans. I had a solo tent and was well looked after by the owner.
I asked about a local shop (which was a couple of miles away) and he offered to pick provisions for me (as I was a solo bike packer). In the end he was kind enough to give me a couple of cans of beer to save a trip out after a long days cycling. Thank you!

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Nice big pitch

Disliked Very windy and bad weather. Would not stay on that coastline again. Only could stay 4 of the ten nights booked. Still had to pay for the ten nights. Fair enough if that's their policy.

Liked Stayed here with my daughter on the bank holiday weekend and we loved it! Showers and toilets are very clean. Rob and co couldn’t be more helpful. Will definitely be going back next time we’re over that way again.

Local attractions

You’ll be able to walk straight out onto the beach from this site, and there are several other lovely coastal spots to check out nearby, including the five-mile stretch of sand at Allonby beach (10 minutes’ drive) and the chance to tee off with a sea view at Maryport Golf Club (15 minutes). If the weather isn’t on your side, perhaps try the likes of West Coast Indoor Karting (15 minutes) or the Lake District Coast Aquarium (20 minutes) instead. Fancy dipping into local history while you’re here? Check out Moorforge Viking Settlement (20 minutes), which holds workshops and events inspired by 10th-century life, or Senhouse Roman Museum (20 minutes), full of artefacts collected from the Roman fort next door. More recent history can be explored at National Trust - Wordsworth House and Garden (25 minutes), the poet’s childhood home, or with a wander around the castle, cathedral and Tullie House Museum in Carlisle (40 minutes). Keeping to the outdoor activities, there are heaps of walking trails in the Lake District National Park, plus family attractions like Lake District Wildlife Park (half an hour) and Go Ape Whinlatter (45 minutes).
