  • I den vestlige udkant af Lake District nationalpark
  • Ved siden af floden Irt, hvor man kan bade og fange laks og ørreder
  • Brusebade, toiletter, wi-fi og picnicbænke
Established in 1951, The Old Post Office Campsite is in a royally fab location for anyone after a peaceful spot to explore the Lake District. Those looking for quiet stays can deliver themselves to this compact site, just on the western border of the Lake District National Park, to enjoy the very best of the area's spectacular setting. You can be at the little village of Santon Bridge in a jiffy (it's just a one-minute walk away) and with the River Irt bordering the site, you’ll likely agree The Old Post Office has got the whole package… Swim, paddle or just bask on the banks of the calm freshwater river that flows right along one side of the site, while avid anglers can scale the choice of catches to be had with salmon, sea and brown trout floundering from the waters. The site’s first-class facilities include modern toilets and showers, a laundry room with coin-operated machines, dishwashing sinks and wifi, with well-tended pathways all around the site and timber picnic benches to take in the mountains, river and countryside views. A gift shop and café are 10 minutes' walk away. Dogs are welcome too – and with all the walking opportunities in and around the Lakes, a holiday here should really deliver the goods for all…

Det siger kunderne

Smuk, fredelig campingplads ved floden med rene, moderne faciliteter. Pladserne er velholdte og rummelige. Personalet roses for deres venlighed. Enkelte bemærkninger om bruserafgifter og vejstøj. Overordnet meget positivt, mange vender tilbage.

Areal kørende med hårdt underlag og græs med vand, el og afløb (super)

Syntes om Really spacious pitches , well maintained , felt very private , showers and toilets clean and warm , really nice site .

Syntes ikke om Very poor wifi signal

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your lovely review! we are glad you enjoyed the site,
I am sorry that you found the wifi poor, it has been tested many times and shows 4/5 bars throughout the whole of the site, and we have boosters fitted, the only thing i can think off is the high volume of traffic, with the site being full over the bank holiday weekend.
We will take this on board and see how we can improve in the future.
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Brilliant site, helpful staff, a lovely return to nature.

Areal til telt med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om The whole stay was fantastic, beautiful & clean bathrooms with hot showers. Our pitch was quiet and it was blissful to hear the river running through. We stayed Mayday weekend and the ice cream van made a visit! What a treat! A good base for visiting the local area :)The onsite fridges were a great bonus!

Syntes ikke om We would have liked to have our mesh fire pit but rules stated no open fires which we understood. Our kids would have liked a play area, but with such a quaint site we can see why there’s not one

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your lovely review! we are glad you enjoyed all the amenities the site has to offer, and the sound of the river is so peaceful.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Friendly and nothing too much trouble.
Perfect location.

Syntes ikke om Nothing to dislike.
Just a small suggestion. There could be another more powerful hand dryer in the ladies and a different hair dryer. Otherwise no problems with anything else.

Areal autocamper med hårdt underlag og græs med elektricitet

Syntes om “We survived Storm Dave!” 🌧️💪

Stayed here during some pretty rough weather and came out smiling. The pitch was generously sized, although it did take a bit of back-and-forth manoeuvring to get out again manageable, just something to be aware of.
The standout for us was the cleanliness genuinely to military standards. The entire site was immaculate and the facilities were spotless throughout our stay.

There’s a nearby pub (not associated with the site) that serves decent food, but be prepared tables get booked up quickly.
WiFi on-site is okay, but we brought our own Ryoko device which performed better. TV reception isn’t great, so streaming via WiFi (mainly in the evenings) is your best bet.

The surrounding area is fantastic for walks plenty to explore right from the site.
One small but important tip: bring 50p coins, as the showers run at around 10 minutes per coin.Also only 2 showers in male and female facilities

Overall, a great stay clean, well-kept, and in a brilliant location for exploring. Would definitely return.”

Fra bestyreren: Hi Stephen,
Thank you again for your amazing review! We’re especially thrilled that our cleanliness stood out to you. Our team works hard to maintain the site to the highest standards, so it’s fantastic to hear it made such an impression. Knowing you felt the site and facilities were “immaculate” and “spotless” truly makes our efforts worthwhile.
We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience!

Lokale seværdigheder

Pull on your comfiest boots and walk yourself to merriment around these Cumbrian parts: just over five miles away in Wasdale is one of Britain’s tiniest churches, St Olafs, with its timber beams thought to have been made from Viking ships. Hikers, hotstep to the mighty heights of Scafell Pike and Great Gable (both about seven miles away) and Red Pike (approximately 20 miles north of the site). At the Wasdale Valley, as well as nurturing peaks aplenty, canoeists, kayakers and windsurfers alike will rapidly make their way to Wast Water, just five minutes from the site, the deepest lake in the UK. Cycling and walking routes around the lakes and mountains are plentiful, as are the chances for boating and fishing, but if you really want to go off-piste, you could try abseiling, climbing, a high ropes course, or even flying: hot air balloon and paragliding experiences are available for those who want to soar even higher than Scafell.
