Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very nice camping site by the river, quiet and convenient. Can park just by the gate and toilet on site. Dogs allowed but better to keep a close eye on them as sheep wandering around the site.

Route directions

The site owners recommend that you use these instructions and Google Maps rather than Apple Maps. On the A6 look out for Kendal Caravans, turning left just after it if coming from the south (or turning right just before if coming from the north). Go up the lane and cross the cattle grid – don't turn left through the wooden gate but go over the hill to the bottom. The site will be on your right.

Local attractions

Hikes and watersports, anyone?

At Windermere, there’s the World of Beatrix Potter all about the ‘Peter Rabbit’ author. Other cool historic spots include Elizabethan Levens Hall (25 minutes), the Lakeland Motor Museum (40 minutes) and Lowther Castle & Gardens (half an hour), where there’s cycle hire for exploring the grounds and ruins. After all that, a local beer at the Hawkshead Brewery (25 minutes)? Or trying to escape the maize maze at Lakeland Maze Farm Park (25 minutes)?
