  • Family-run site for CAMC members only, one mile from Newby Bridge
  • A five-minute drive from the southern end of Windermere and Fell Foot
  • A 15-minute drive to Cartmel village for popular sticky toffee pudding
Simply stunning – that’s how many will choose to sum up Valley End, a simple, back to basics site one mile from the small hamlet of Newby Bridge and packed with classic Cumbrian scenery. Suitable for Caravan and Motorhome Club members only, the touring site is in prime Lake District territory: the southern end of Windermere and the National Trust’s lakefront Fell Foot park are five minutes’ drive away, and once there, it’s possible to take a dip or hire watersports equipment to properly soak up the lake and fell views. The site is also in a classic Cumbrian landscape. It’s green and rural, dotted with trees and with views over faraway hills and neighbouring farms with neighbouring sheep and wildlife. For your daily walkies (dogs being optional – as it’s a dog-friendly site, too), make your way to the Cumbrian Coastal Way (10 minutes’ drive) or the trails of Grizedale Forest (25 minutes). Watersports, anyone? As well as being near Fell Foot’s watersports, paddleboards are for hire along the river Leven five minutes’ drive away. Sticky toffee pudding? While such a dessert might sound out of place, it’s a specialty in the shop in Cartmel, a village which also has a racecourse and an ancient priory. For a dinner out, head down to the village to eat at one of its several hotels, which welcome non-guests. Self-catering is very achievable too, with supermarkets in Ulverston or Milnthorpe, both within 20 minutes’ drive of the site. There is also a local shop less than a mile away on the A590. The A590 and the M6 are two handy nearby motorway links. The simple facilities at Valley End include waste bins.

What customers say

This is a lovely, quiet spot with great views. Owners are helpful. Good for exploring South Lakes. Metered electricity, no toilets. Some noise from A590, but generally peaceful.

Nikki R. 1 review

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked Level pitches, attractive views, water tap & elec by pitch, lovely friendly owners and there’s a fairly easy walk to Lake Windermere along country lanes. Perfect stopover if travelling up or down the M6, as the A590 is a very good, fast route to nearby the campsite

Disliked Noise from the A590 - it meant that for us this was just a stopover rather than a really relaxing countryside stay

Viki T. 1 review

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked Stunning views across the countryside. I believe there are some local walks, however, we just enjoyed the views and the sunset. Very clean. Grass pitch but has a membrane like thing under, so even though there had been quite a lot of rain there were no issues with the grass. Decent size pitch. Electric and water easy to get to. Garage a one minute drive away for essentials.

Disliked Remembering to send the meter reading to owners.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the views, sunsets and the site itself, especially after all the recent rain!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the electric meter readings too. As a small 5 pitch CL site, we ask guests to send their readings so we can keep pitches fairly priced and only charge for the electricity used. We do try to keep the process as simple as possible and are always happy to help if needed.

Thank you again for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Excellent site, good place to go

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked Very spacious plots with water and electric on all of them very quiet and peaceful away from the Madding crowd

Disliked No toilets or showers, but that’s okay as i was in my Motorhome the only problem was electric. You asked to take a photo when you get there and when you’re about to leave to pay for the electric I tried to hook up But it never came on perhaps they should charge a bit more in their pricing for the site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Just a friendly note about the electric hookup 😊
Our units are fitted with safety isolators, so if the switch isn’t fully turned into place, the electric supply won’t come through to the unit.
If you find you have no power, please check that the isolator is fully switched on.
Thank you, and we hope you had a lovely stay!

Local attractions

To the Lakes, first of all? At the Lakeside Pier (10 minutes’ drive), catch a cruise over Windermere’s fine waters. Coniston Water (35 minutes), the fifth-largest lake in the national park, is another splendid option. Sprinkle in a few National Trust sites next: Sizergh (15 minutes) and Beatrix Potter Gallery and Hawkshead (25 minutes) perhaps… Such places may get you in the mood for more historic spots, and there are plenty around, including the Lakeland Motor Museum (10 minutes), the heritage Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (10 minutes), Cartmel Priory (10 minutes) and the 200-acre grounds and deer park of the Holker Hall & Gardens (15 minutes). A stroll, perhaps? There’s a fairly steep climb at Bigland Barrow (10 minutes), and it’s also next to the 11-acre fishery of Bigland Tarn (15 minutes). A stroll around Bowness-on-Windermere (20 minutes) is always a good idea if you want lots of urban things to look at. Some unlikely companions can also be sought out for a walk at the PREDATOR EXPERIENCE - Wolf Experience UK (five minutes), which has a ‘walk with wolves’ experience.
