  • 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

This well-kept, peaceful site gets kudos for its great location, friendly staff, and clean amenities. Nestled by streams, it offers a calm vibe & easy access to local sights. Guests loved the level pitches, nice bar, and pretty setting. Minor points: occasional road noise & some older, though clean, facilities. Highly recommended for value and a welcoming feel.

Kirsti F.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Very nice and friendly warden on reception who couldn't be more helpful
Very quiet and peaceful nights stay

Disliked Very small and cramped site
A large number of static vans with touring pitches crammed in around them
Shower facilities and laundry very outdated therefore didn't use them
Couldn't find any where safe to walk the dog

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review .We are a small 3 acre site with only 20 static vans. Our tourer area is all in one block between our beautiful river and canal feeder .Our ladies and gents shower block has been totally updated ( only finished in March.) to a very high standard and very modern. Our dog walk is at the top of the site , short but pretty. The canal path is also within 300 yds. Yes our laundry is basic ,but functions.

A nice relaxed site.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely peaceful site for our first ever trip in a folding camper. Reception was super helpful. Shower / toilet block was absolutely spotless no matter what time you went in. On site bar looked really nice and small shop on site was good.
Other campers were really friendly and all dogs were on leads.
Added bonus is the Crooklands pub hotel a three minute walk away which is fantastic and the food amazing

Disliked Nothing to dislike

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.
