Camping at Cardewlees: Pods with views
Camping at Cardewlees: Each pod has its own enclosed garden

General

  • Family-run site with scenic views across farmland and fells
  • A 15-minute drive to the city of Carlisle and 30 to the Lake District
  • Supermarkets, restaurants and a swimming pool a 25-minute walk away

For views of fells, farmland and fields make Camping at Cardewlees your next base for a break – this family-run site looks out over splendid Lake District scenery including Carrock Flat Top, High Pike and Skiddaw…

Whether you plan on having hardy hikes or gentle jaunts over the hills, they’re easy to reach as the park is about a 30-minute drive from the northern end of the Lakes. It’s also a 25-minute walk to the small but perfectly formed village of Dalston if you’re not wanting to amble far for a supermarket and restaurants, and as the community’s a regular Cumbria in Bloom winner there are sure to be a fair few flower displays to ooh and ahh over…

The village’s play areas and public swimming pool mean you might even be able to tempt kids along for a wander too – the river setting is excellent for rambling. The Cumbria Way ends at Carlisle and runs through Dalston, so you could join the 70-mile long-distance trail here (or just stop off for a stay at Camping at Cardewlees during an epic walk from one side to the other).

Cycle paths are also strewn through the local landscapes for long or short rides. Before you head off for the day, fill up on breakfast prepped by the site’s owners; just check it’s available when you arrive.

Amenities include a shower and regularly cleaned unisex toilets.

    Chose where you want to park, left to yourself but yet owners reachable at all times. Showers are toilets we're in great order, clean fresh easy accessible. Quiet site we went on a very windy night, be mindful where you park if wanting to be in open and having an awning up but I guess that's common sense 😅 would defo be back if up this area again in summer.

  • Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Good farm-based site that offers wonderful views and has a remote feeling whilst being very close to quite a lot of amenities and is very accessible. The facilities kept very clean, nice wash area and all means of waste facilities, and the ground nice to pitch a tent on and good to be able to hire an electric supported pitch but at the far side of the field.
    Disliked: 

    Nothing - note just to those pitching that the field has amazing views as it is exposed and so for winter camping we had a SSW force 7 and so make sure you pitch accordingly facing away from the wind and don't be tempted to pitch for the views - we have a tent that is rated to take that sort of weather, but we have seen others this year turning up ill prepared.

  • Skiddaw-view camping pod (two person)
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    The privacy and how we were left to our own devices but we could contact people easily if needed. The jacket potatos were also lovely!
    Disliked: 

    As the pod is on a farm, when it is sunny there is an insane amount of flies. The pod was provided with a spray to kill them, but it was hard to breathe in the pod when this was sprayed and it really affected my asthma. As well as filling the pod with dead flies! We got a citronella candle and this was much more effective. The garden also wasn’t 100% sure enough for both of our dogs, so we kept one on a longline, which wasn’t necessarily an issue but I was expecting it to be more secure.
From the manager...

Thank you for your review.
I see that although you wouldn't visit again you gave us an eight which is a little confusing!
We are sorry you had an issue with the flies, this actually isn't something we have had an issue with this year. If you had advised us of this we would have done our best to rectify it.
As for the fencing, we are sorry that you did not feel this was secure, we are pleased to hear that it was suitable for one of them.
Pleased you liked the jacket potatoes.

    Able to have a campfire, nice large pitches.
    Disliked: 

    Lack of hot water in toilets to wash hands, no hand dryer or paper towels to dry hands. Unable to have a decent shower as kept going hot and cold.
From the manager...

We are really sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.
There is hot water in the middle toilet and we are aware of the difficulties with drying your hands.
We did use to provide paper towels but unfortunately, people were placing them down the toilet.
We are waiting for our electrician to visit to install hand dryers and hot water.
As a small business owner can I just say we would always prefer you to raise these issues with us prior to leaving?
I can't remedy issues such as the shower when we aren't made aware of it.
Our lovely Sue is here every morning and the campsite phone number is scattered around the site on various signs.

Local attractions

If you’re keen on history, you could be learning about Carlisle’s in a jiffy – it’s a 15-minute drive from Camping at Cardewlees. The Great Border City also has a castle where Mary Queen of Scots spent a stint behind bars and a cathedral that was founded in 1133. For a flutter on the horses, a racecourse serves the local area too.

To go further back in time – think close to 2,000 years – Hadrian’s Wall, the most visited Roman ruin in the whole of Britain, is a 40-minute drive from the site. The Walltown Crags section’s a stellar place to start your journey to a couple of millennia ago: this stretch of the original wall has eye-popping views over the patchwork of fields below.

Not tired out after your epic journey along the Cumbria Way? Set off along the 84-mile Hadrian’s Wall Path, which runs from one side of England's coast to the other.
