Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Campsite was really pretty, excellent location.
Disliked Toilet block was really far away from where we were, we seem to be put really randomly over the other side of the park also the pictches were quite uneven. They also didn’t look very well maintained. The washing up area wasn’t kept at all either.

Probably wouldn't go back unless they get their act together!

Liked Location ,pub ,food albeit limited !
Disliked Lack of attention to detail! This place could be amazing given the location
However there is no care and attention especially maintaining pitches, I booked a premium hard standing pitch wich turned out to be very uneven and covered in grass , no maintenance was carried out to any pitch in the 3 days we were there , it seems to be an after thought from the site owners poorly managed in my opinion, from this site we moved to Park foot holiday park which puts Lowther to shame ! If you are going to do something put the effort in or just don't bother!

Liked The facilities and site were super clean and very well managed. The prices in the on site cafe/takeaway or more than reasonable and they even have gluten free options as they have experience with coeliac which really benefited us. The site is very wheelchair friendly with excellent disabled toilet and shower blocks. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, very child friendly. Plenty of space on site and playbacks for the kids. Felt very safe and the children were able to do their own thing very safely. There are several walks from the site didn't have time to explore these due to the short time we were there, had a great time paddling in the river whilst there too and staff were able to advise best route to the part of the river for paddling as there are 2 points and points for swimming in it too. Will definitely be going again just longer next time
Disliked Being very picky the mashed potato was instant mash which was a little disappointing but the pastry on the pie was divinr

Liked Fantastic Camping Experience at Lowther Holiday Park
We had a brilliant stay at Lowther Holiday Park and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-equipped and peaceful camping getaway. I stayed on an electric tent pitch, which was ideal - having access to electricity made the experience so much more comfortable.
The facilities on-site were excellent. The toilets, showers, and dishwashing area were all spotless and very well maintained throughout my stay.
A big bonus was the local pub right on the premises. It was so convenient to have a nice place to relax and grab a drink without having to leave the park. The reception staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly, always happy to assist with any questions or needs.
Another big plus was the location – it’s perfectly situated for exploring the Lake District and nearby attractions. Lowther Castle is just a short walk away, and Penrith is also close by, offering shops, cafés, and other amenities if you need anything during your stay.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable and hassle-free camping trip. The combination of great facilities, friendly service, and a beautiful setting made it a perfect break.
Disliked There was absolutely nothing to dislike - it’s a stunning place.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Very peaceful surroundings. Toilets kept clean. Grounds and pitches were clean no litter is left for long before its picked up. The bakery on site was very good, pies, pasties, filled rolls and cakes all freshly made on site. The river walk was wonderful. In all a fantastic few days.
Disliked Nothing at all.

Nice site, easy to get to, clean good location
Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Location is good, just off the M6 so easy to get to. Very clean although the gents loos were closed ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’. Very large site and lovely walks.
Disliked We could not get into the site until early afternoon and were only staying one night. We had no time to visit anywhere before closing times. The site is very cramped, loads of lodges very close together and pitches for motorhomes were not very wide. We could not get out our awning to shelter from the rain as there was not enough room.
