Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great little campsite, ideal base for climbing the Northern Wainwrights. Spacious pitches and a picnic table for each is a nice touch. The site has all the basics you need, toilets, showers and somewhere to wash up, and at a great price.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: This was our first camping holiday and Caldbeck Camping was absolutely perfect for us. The site is in a great location, with a pub serving good food just a five minute walk away, as well as a small shop in the village - although this is quite expensive! The toilets and showers are spotless and well maintained, and have key codes to prevent them being used by walkers passing through. We were really lucky with the weather, but there are rubber mats free to use in case it turns wet. There is also a wooden bench and firepit at each pitch. Logs can be bought from the nearby shop. A footpath runs through the camsite so there are plenty of walks without getting in the car, and of course plenty more trails if you want to venture out a bit further.

Disliked: While the footpath running through the campsite is a blessing for being the start of some great walks, a few passers by didn't exactly have control of their dogs and let them roam around our tent in the early hours, and late at night. Obviously this can't be controlled by the hosts, so still 5*

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Very cute little village and campsite, lots to see in the area and a cute little walk around the churchyard. Toilets secure and clearly new, very clean and well cared for. Right next to a river, with fire pits provided. Picnic tables and gravel path for parking in wet conditions. Owner very helpful! Showers private in individual rooms.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything! Peaceful, clean, hot showers, good pitch size. Very friendly site. Owners lovely. The river is gorgeous, and very tranquil.

Disliked: If I really had to be picky it would only be the path through the site. Entrance end has pot holes which was tricky with a fully laden motorcycle. To be expected in the last days of the season after such a wet year though.

Local attractions

When in Cumbria you’ll surely be wanting some time near the lakes, so factor in a trip to Bassenthwaite (about a 35-minute drive from the site) for watery walks. Derwentwater’s about the same distance for standup paddleboarding, windsurfing and canoeing, and Pooley Bridge is the place for sailing past peaks on the famed Ullswater steamers (35 minutes’ drive). The countryside is of course fabulous around here, but history can also be had at spots like Carlisle Castle and Mirehouse House and Gardens about 30 minutes away. And if you’re toying with the idea of eloping, you can be up at Gretna Green in about 40 minutes. In this land of plenty, guests are also close to the coast – Solway’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is about 40 minutes by car for views over the sea, with the beaches being a tad further if you want to get your toes stuck into some sand.
