Warth Hill

Visitor image - campsite view (added by manager 27 Jun 2023)

Visitor image of their pitch, beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Peaceful rural Cumbria site between Yorkshire Dales and Lake District
A 15-minute drive to Kendal and 25 minutes to the coast
Simple pitches with basic facilities; 10 minutes' drive from the M6

Wild camping in style but with a few basic amenities thrown in to make life a bit more comfy? Gorgeous rural views but with easy access from the motorway? Many wishlist boxes are likely to be ticked by the mix on offer at Cumbria’s Warth Hill. A mere 10 minutes’ drive from junction 36 of the M6 is this peaceful spot with stunning views out over the green landscapes of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, with glimpses of Morecambe Bay beyond. That handy location between two national parks also means lots of scope to get out for walks, bike rides and other outdoors activities – and with coastal days a distinct possibility too. The wild camping vibe comes partly from those lovely views, and partly from the fact that it’s a laidback place where you can pick your own pitch (with plenty of space to choose from), bring dogs along and set up off-ground barbecues or firepits. Toilets and showers are available to guests, however, so you don’t have to live entirely wild here. Top barbecue idea? Take the two-mile walk to the local farm shop to load up on local produce for your grill (and stop in the café for refreshment while you’re there). For other supplies or to treat yourselves to meals out, it’s a 10-minute drive to Kirkby Lonsdale or 15 minutes to Kendal (or look out for several good pubs and restaurants dotted around the local countryside).
