- Hardstanding pitches in the grounds of a Tebay sports club
- In the Howgill Fells, half an hour's drive from Windermere
- Close to the M6 for easy stopovers; local pub two minutes' walk
Surrounded by the Howgill Fells and just at the spot where the Yorkshire Dales National Park meets the Lake District National Park, well… it goes without saying that Rubber Dub Dub is in an absolutely top-notch location for a Cumbria walking holiday.
This pop-up site is based within the grounds of Tebay Sports and Social Club, and its hardstanding pitches have electric hookups as well as access to the club’s toilet and shower facilities. Barbecues are permitted if you’d like to get a bit of outdoor cooking on the go (perhaps using produce you’ve picked up from the Tebay services farm shop, five minutes’ drive away); there’s also a local pub a couple of minutes’ walk away for a well-earned meal and pint at the end of your day of hiking.
Speaking of hiking, you’ll have heaps of options around here, with some local hotspots including Cautley Spout waterfall, Sedbergh and Windermere (all within a half-hour drive). Dogs are welcome to join you on stays at this site – you should be able to find plenty of places nearby for walkies, and the pub is happy to host visiting dogs and their owners.
As well as being a splendid spot for walking holidays, Rubber Dub Dub is also very handily close to the M6, making it a great place to consider if you're looking for a stopover on a long motorway journey north or south.

Local attractions
The area of the Howgill Fells just around the site is laced with walking trails that can accommodate anything from a short circular stroll to a full-on uphill clamber. Heading a little further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, waterfall hunters may like to take the trails to Cautley Spout (25 minutes' drive) or Hardraw Force (40 minutes) – perhaps following up the latter with a bit of cheese sampling at the Wensleydale Creamery Visitor Centre.
Aiming west instead takes you into the Lake District National Park for walks and watersports at Windermere (half an hour), a trip to Sizergh Castle and all sorts of walks including waterside wanders and mountain escapades (Helvellyn is 45 minutes away, for example).
If you want to dial up the adventure a bit more, several outfits in the area organise canyoning and caving outings; meanwhile, gentler times can be found at the Lakeland Maze Farm Park (25 minutes), Wreay Syke Alpacas (25 minutes) or the Lakeland Motor Museum (35 minutes).
