Waters Edge Caravan Park

Small stream running through the site and fishing area

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

A top-rated, friendly site between streams, with pristine, updated facilities (hot showers!). Appreciated for peace, level pitches, easy M6 access, and scenery. Staff are welcoming. On-site bar & nearby pub are bonuses. Minor points: occasional road noise, facility distance.

Primitive grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked Warm friendly welcome, lovely level pitch close to the bar, semi shaded so we got some sun but not too hot, clean, recently refurbished shower block plenty of hot water. Good washing up area.

Disliked Shower block located at far end of site from tent area..... a minor inconvenience!
Lots of Himalayan Balsam growing in the stream.
It would be perfect if they did food at the bar!

Powered grass tent campsite (six person)

Liked This is such a great campsite. This was out 2nd visit and is now our ‘go to’.

The campsite lies between a river and a stream, with stunning views all around - and less than 5 mins off M6.

On site there is a bar and a small shop offering (basics). The facilities are up there with the best I’ve seen - the toilets and showers are modern and clean. The latter being hot! There is also decent WiFi coverage and speeds.

The staff are beyond helpful and are friendly.

There’s no bustle, so I would recommend more for those who want to be surrounded by the noise of running water and birdsong.

Disliked Not found anything to dislike yet. Can’t imagine we will, but will keep going back ;-)

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.
