  • Family-friendly site on the edge of the southern Lake District
  • Handy location a mile from the M6 and a 15-minute drive from Kendal
  • Well-maintained site with bar, picnic area, pool table and TV room
Lake, forest, and spectacular countryside… what’s not to like about this fantastic setting in the southern Lake District? Add in level pitches, a goodly collection of facilities and a friendly welcome on site and you should be all set for a fab family break at Waters Edge Caravan Park. Because of its handy location close to the M6, this is a nifty spot for getting out to all of the Lake District and Yorkshire, or even popping up to Scotland (it's only an hour's drive away). After day trips, head over to the clubhouse to ponder the fine selection of beers and spirits in the well-stocked bar – if the sun’s out, take them out to sip in the fresh air on the patio. There's a friendly vibe at this place, so just try not to get too competitive playing pool with new pals or watching sport together in the TV lounge. For food, you may like to create a picnic or fire up one of the barbecues over by reception (pick up bits at the shop on site or set out for a well-stocked store half a miles away. Not in the mood to cater? Make a break for meals at the pub a couple of minutes' walk away. Other amenities around the place include outdoor taps for your drinking water, a washing-up area, a laundry room and bathrooms with individual washing cubicles, showers and accessible toilets.

What customers say

Great spot, peaceful & well-kept, with friendly staff and clean facilities. Riverside setting, handy M6 access, near pubs & walks. Most love the amenities, though a few reckon some bits need a refresh. Ideal for stopovers or exploring the Lakes.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Close to M6. Clean site.

Disliked If you’re looking for a dog friendly site this isn’t for you. We were told as we arrived that if your dog barks in the bar you’ll be asked to leave. The sites not really big enough to walk a medium sized dog and when you walk out of the site you’re straight onto a very busy road with no footpaths in places. Men’s toilets had 2 toilet cubicles and 2 showers. Water in the wash hand basins were always cold no matter what time of day it was. The fob entry system on and off the site is ridiculous. Leaving the site you can reach the barrier control from your vehicle but entering the site means you stop before the barrier, get out of your vehicle and walk around and passed the barrier to reach the control panel. The camp shop is a waste of time chocolate, crisps and one type of ice cream and I think that was about it.

Liked Electric hookup, good size pitch spaces. Clean toilets. very pleasant (and cheap) bar. Very handy location just a couple of minutes off the M6.

Disliked Nothing - though we were cutting it fine to arrive by 6pm so longer reception hours would be useful, especially when the bar is open. Stream behind pitch populated by noisy ducks!

Liked Spent two nights camping solo with my 6 year old. Firstly, I had a small tent. They ammended my booking seperate to Pitch Up and charged according to tent size. I was grateful and appreciated their integrity. As a newcomer to camping I was finding my way. They made me feel incredibly safe and welcome.The site was beautiful, well kept and clean. Easy access from the motorway, suitable for families and couples. A cute little bar for a refreshing drink at the end of the day! Loved it! Thank you! 😍😍

Liked Absolutely lovely site . Very clean , very well run. The toilet block is exceptional! Cute little Bar , lovely walks out of the site with a stream running alongside .

Disliked Only thing I will say is when I booked the pitch i requested fishing which was advertised on pitchup. Unfortunately this wasnt the case as there isn't anywhere to fish . A little lake with a stream.

Local attractions

Head into Kendal (15 minutes' drive) for golf days or to shelter indoors at the local leisure centre, which has a pool, squash and gym. You may also like to take wanders around the town's castle ruins and museums or pop in for a pint (or a tour) at Hawkshead Brewery. Hop on horseback and make your own great western adventures in the surrounding woodland and countryside with the nearest horse riding centre (10 minutes' drive). If water-based antics are more your thing, it's a 15-minute drive to a lake for waterskiing, windsurfing, sailing and fishing. Or keep an eye out to see what's on at the Westmorland County Showground (10 minutes' walk), which often stages smashing family-friendly events. If you fancy exploring the wider region, it's an easy drive to Morecambe Bay beach (20 minutes), and the Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes). For kid-pleasing days out, aim to lose them for a while at Lakeland Maze Farm Park or head off to meet the animals at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis; both are around 10 minutes away by car.
