  • Motorhome pitches in woodland a 10-minute drive from Lake Windermere
  • Lakeland Motor Museum five minutes’ drive; Ulverston 15 minutes
  • Playground and duck pond; sauna and hot tub; launderette; shop
Experience the stunning landscape of the Lake District – but without the tourist madness often associated with the area – by staying at Black Beck Holiday Park, a peaceful site on the fringes of the national park. You’re only a 10-minute drive along the A590 from the southernmost tip of Lake Windermere here, which puts waterfront hikes and water-based activities within easy-peasy reach. Motorhome pitches (with water and drainage hook-up points) occupy an area of mature woodland with exquisite views of distant mountains. Among the on-site facilities is a secure children’s playground (with swings and see-saws), while the adults’ play area includes a sauna and a hot tub (with which you might well fall in love after a few days of scrambling up fells…), plus a shop selling beer and other local specialities. If you prefer your beer in a more social setting, a pub in the village of Bouth (five minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk) serves ales and traditional fare in a cosy setting with a woodburning stove and assorted taxidermy. There are more dining options along the A590, on the banks of the River Leven (about five minutes) and in the lively market town of Ulverston (15 minutes). Back at the site, take your dog (for which there is a small additional daily fee) for a walk along the site’s wooded paths down to the pond, where the kids can feed the ducks. In addition to a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, the site has a launderette (with an iron and a board) and a drying room.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite with spacious, level pitches. Visitors consistently praise the modern, immaculate toilet and shower facilities, often described as the best they've experienced. The site offers lovely views, convenient walks, and is ideally located for exploring the South Lakes. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. Amenities like the hot tub, sauna, and on-site shop are also popular. Some minor points raised include occasional Wi-Fi issues and the distance of some facilities from touring pitches, though new blocks are being developed.

Bluebell fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked It’s a beautiful site. It was a tidy and well kept, the facilities were new and very nice and clean too. It was so peaceful and the area is stunning. Had everything you need, we were in a campervan so the new toilet/shower block were great. The pitch was very spacious but the ground was quite hard when putting the driveway awning up. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and the staff milling around were friendly. Felt like we’d had a lovely relaxing weekend away.
It’s only a 5 min drive to the tip of Windermere lake which we enjoyed a day at the Fell foot lakeshore (car park a bit pricey but there’s boat rides and the steam train depending on what time of year you go) plus the motor museum which was fab. You can get buses to these places and all the way around Windermere if you don’t want to drive but the nearest bus stop is a fair walk so we drove. Definitely recommend and will hopefully go back.

Local attractions

A converted mill on the banks of the Leven houses the Lakeland Motor Museum (five minutes’ drive), with a vast collection of vintage vehicles – from bicycles and scooters to motorcars, plus the Campbell Bluebird Exhibition, featuring several vehicles used by Donald Campbell during his speed-record breaking attempts. The kids might enjoy meeting Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail and other beloved characters at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, in Bowness-on-Windermere (25 minutes). Here, they can also learn about the author and her conservation efforts, while across Windermere Lake is National Trust - Hill Top (25 minutes), the farmhouse she bought in 1905. National Trust - Sizergh (25 minutes) is a medieval property that’s been home to the same family for 800 years. During this time, they have accumulated a remarkable collection of portraits and decorative art objects. Stroll through the extensive grounds looking for butterflies and hawfinches.
