General

Safe and spacious site for letting kids run around
A popular setting for anglers and cyclists
Lake District, Hadrian's Wall and the Highlands all within 20-30 mins

Free-range kids? Flapping around a car-free environment in Cumbria’s heavenly Eden Valley close to the Lake District National Park?

You'd be in a pretty pickle to pick the Main attraction at peaceful, popular and family-run Mains Farm Camping and Caravan Site, but it might be parents gleefully clinking glasses in the child-friendly landscape while the kids run around… Anglers and bikers flock here too as the farm has its own single bank salmon and trout fishing hotspot 200 metres up the road (arrange on arrival) and it’s used by cyclists as a stopoff to rest weary bones on a C2C pedal.

This is the Cumbrian countryside, so scenic hikes come as additional standard: take one of the Mains Farm trails across their own land to feel proper exclusive. The Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Highlands are all 20 to 30 minutes’ drive away.

But back to the kids… wind them up and let them roam: although Mains Farm is easy to get to from the M6, it’s well away from roads and is small enough to keep an eye on offspring; all cars have to be parked away from the pitching areas too. All this and a popular playground: expect not to see small people from dawn to dusk…

Campfires are allowed – hire a fire basket from amiable owners Robert and Julia – and an undercover eating area has a log burner and a barbecue. Guests also have use of two kitchen areas, a secure store for bicycles, a washing machine, decent wifi, and clean shower and toilet blocks converted from the farm’s former stables.

Supplies can be sorted from the Co-op in Lazonby village about a mile away; if you’re feeling too lazy/holidaylike to cook, two pubs serving food are within the same distance (ask Robert or Julia to book you a table in advance: like Mains Farm, the village pubs are pretty popular).

Open from 01/03/2021 to 31/10/2021

Liked:

We liked absolutely everything, the drive to the site through the amazing scenic roads. The welcome when we got to site was great we felt at home straight away, we had a guided tour around the facilities and shown to our pod.

The facilities were great, toilet and shower cubicles were cleaned every morning and were very well maintained, the shower water pressure was amazing... better than our shower at home! The kitchen area was really good with two sinks and cooking appliances available.

The pod was in amazing condition with a heater in and ready to go, plenty of sockets - usb sockets too which is great for charging your tech up! The pods were spacious and really well insulated!

The short walk to the river Eden was great, we walked along the river bank with our dog to Lacys caves and despite the wet and windy weather we all enjoyed it.

I would definitely recommend you stay here, we will certainly be staying here again!

Liked:

The site overall was superbly set out specifically to cater for the outdoors experience. The owners were lovely and we’d return based on their welcome alone ! The toilets and showers were spotless and warm. The kids had a well laid out play area (Not an option at other local campsites) and there were plenty of riverside walks. Fishing is an option but a £20 fee applies. All amenities were great.

Disliked:

Unfortunately we were pitched next to a family who were loud and spent hours into the early hours of the morning arguing, having a domestic. This kept me and my daughter awake which was of no fault of the site at all. To be honest there wasn’t anything on the site I disliked.

The owners (Robert and Julie) were extremely helpful. They accommodated us on a suitable pitch (we were concerned about getting stuck on the grass) and even gave us some newspaper to help dry out our wet shoes! They have made some laminated information sheets detailing local walks from the site which was a lovely thought and we enjoyed a walk to the village and a drink in the local pub.
The toilets and facilities are very clean and we felt COVID safe throughout our stay.
There is an option to hire a fire pit on a nightly basis...which we may do next time.
Would definitely visit again!

Local attractions

Heavenly Eden Valley walks are right on the doorstep from Mains Farm Camping and Caravan Site, from ambles to (the pubs at) Lazonby, to a hike along the River Eden to see Lacy's Caves... and then on to Little Salkeld and the Bronze Age stone circle of Long Meg and her Daughters.

Ramble to the north of Little Salkeld to see the Eden Lacy Viaduct over the River Eden, one of a couple of dozen viaducts on the 72-mile journey of the Carlisle to Settle Railway (jump on at Lazonby and Kirkoswald railway station to puff north west to Carlisle or south to Settle).

Going north for the day – actually, allow at least two – Hadrian’s Wall and Scottish Highlands are half an hour’s drive away.
