Powered gravel and earth caravan site

Liked: Spacious pitches, small site, didn't feel overlooked or crowded. You pick your pitch on arrival so its luck of the draw but all looked big enough. We are a camper van and decent sized awning and had plenty of room. Toilets and shower clean, shower hot and enough space to get dressed in the cubicle after. Good location for exploring the area and would go again.

Powered gravel and earth caravan site

Liked: What a find this has been. Nice quiet and calm site. A few tourers around so very much able to be alone. About 10 minutes from The Duke of Cumberland pub. A nice walk around the resivour which our dog enjoyed. Half hour drive to Hadrians wall and the sycamore gap

Powered gravel and earth caravan site

Liked: Only stayed one night as transiting through. No check-in required as details sent via text, just turned up and found a pitch. Water on the pitch. Shower block was clean.

Disliked: Shower block could do with some updating, but still functional.

Local attractions

Take the trail of the remains of a 73-mile Roman wall through rural landscapes… and when you’ve finished with Hadrian’s Wall (half an hour’s drive), pedal, hike or trot your way through the gorgeous North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes) or let yourself unwind with watersports, paddles and more properly good hikes in the Lake District National Park (30 minutes). The Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (45 minutes) is there when you’re in need of some stunning seaside scenery instead. As for sailing or fishing, well, Talkin Tarn Country Park (10 minutes) is the place for that. Golf is just 30 minutes away too – and as for racing events, they can be found over at the Carlisle Racecourse (20 minutes). For low-key days of shopping, sightseeing and strolling the streets, Brampton (15 minutes) has a market and ruined abbey, while the market town of Penrith (half an hour) has another great buzzy atmosphere. If it’s ancient villages and riverside strolls that also take your fancy, then you’ll have easy enough access to the Vale of Eden (30 minutes) from this site.
