Kez's Campsite

Being in a quiet spot yet 10 minutes off the M6 gives you great access to all sorts of days out – adventurous or relaxing. As well as all the walking and outdoorsy options in the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, the dramatic landscapes of the Forest of Bowland (30 minutes’ drive) are worth a visit. For wildlife watchers, the teeming nature reserves of Morecambe Bay, including Leighton Moss (15 minutes) and Foulshaw Moss (20 minutes), might give you a glimpse of otters and red deer as well as all sizes of birdlife from bearded tits to marsh harriers and ospreys. If you like your days out to have a competitive edge, try Cartmel Races (30 minutes’ drive), clay pigeon shooting at Lupton (10 minutes) or archery at Greenlands Farm Village (under 10 minutes), which also has farm animals, mini golf and a big indoor play barn.
