General
- Peaceful campsite near the banks of the River Eden
- Surrounded by woodland and fields with a backdrop of the Pennine Fells
- Adjacent to a playground area and park
It's in a heavenly location near the banks of the River Eden, surrounded by woodland and fields and with the Pennine Fells as a beaut backdrop – and is part of the Lazonby Swimming Pool site for lazy dips. The river's there if you want to fish (get a permit at Lazonby post office or at the pool kiosk) and the northern lakes are 15 miles away.
Lazonby is on the edge of Lazonby village (about eight miles from Penrith), which has two pubs, a well-stocked and open daily supermarket with post office and ATM, two churches and a petrol garage. A repair garage, two more pubs and another play park are about a mile away in the neighbouring village of Kirkoswald.
Toilets and solar-powered showers are in the swimming pool buildings about two hundred metres from the campsite (the path is lit at night but you might want to bring a torch too), and there are washing-up facilities and a chemical disposal unit along the lane to the side of the pool.
The pool is open daily when the campsite is and heated to 26ºC; lifeguards are on duty at all times. It also has a kiosk/café selling hot and cold drinks, snacks, sweets and ice creams during pool opening times.
Open from 04/01/2021 to 09/30/2021

Local attractions
Lazonby is one of the stations on the very highly scenic Settle-Carlisle Railway line, a fave of famed travel scribe Bill Bryson and a must when in this part of the land. If you only have time for one journey on it, make it south to Settle rather than north to Carlisle, to pass the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct: have the smartphones at the ready to snap a pic.
The local area is rammed with riverside and woodland walks, with loads more to be had in the Lake District 15 miles away, and is popular with cyclists as it's about four miles from the C2C/Sea to Sea cycle route. Plenty of quiet country roads abound with views over the River Eden and surrounding area and to the Pennines if you're getting about by car.
Withnail and I's destination Penrith is eight miles from Lazonby Campsite and has many shops, supermarkets and services; go here too for Penrith Castle, a climbing wall, perfect views across the Eden Valley from Beacon Hill and, happily, yet more Cumbrian pubs.
And might you fancy a pub meal local to Lazonby? The Crown Inn, the Fetherston Arms and the Highland Drove are all recommended inns with food in the nearby villages of Kirkoswald and Great Salkeld.

o As a small charity manned by volunteers, we are sorry that the customer was unhappy with their visit. We appreciate that this is their personal view, which we have to weigh up with other reviews, many of which recently have been 10/10 and one of those stayed the same weekend as the customer.
o 3 pitches were shut off in a flooded area & taken off pitchup
o 7 pitches available for the 7 bookings that weekend in an area of the site that was fairly even and dry.
o Hook ups high to avoid flood risk; step ladders provided
o Staff monitor the site but campers are not always on site when they visit
o Camp site guide given to customers state that Toilet Block is 150 metres away from site and only partially lit- advised to take torch
o We do not wish to provide lighting on a small rural, riverside site. Most campers appreciate the rural nature and unpolluted night skies at the site.
o Floor gets muddy from campers’ muddy footwear; sign asking them to leave footwear at doorway. Cleaned morning & evening. Mop & bucket provided with sign asking campers to mop any excess mud/ water up.
o Showers were recently fitted with new panelling – so not “dated”.
o Appreciate that rest of block may seem dated but we ensure it is cleaned thoroughly twice a day.
o Pool was open every day to the public during the customer’s stay. From 3.30 to 5.30pm Thursday & Friday and from 1pm-5pm on the Saturday.
o We constantly strive to keep the Camp Site and its facilities in as good a condition as possible. The weather is something we cannot control but if any area is unfit for camping we occasionally have to seal those areas off and take those off the pitchup booking system.
