What customers say
Great spot, lovely and quiet with top facilities – clean loos, shower blocks, a popular bakery, and a friendly pub. Easy to get to, with heaps of walks, including a nice stroll to Lowther Castle. Staff are dead friendly and helpful, making it a welcoming vibe. Most reckon it's a ripper, though a few reckon the shower blocks could do with a spruce-up and a bit more elbow grease. Pitches are mostly okay, but some felt a bit snug.

Would absolutely return here ... I can't really fault it
Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Loved the setting and location .. babbling river and beautiful scenery.
Very clean facilities, toilet block and showers and even a bath.
Pub was very good. Cider excellent and staff all pleasant and helpful
Disliked Was not so keen on having a code for entry to the toilet blocks as I have a bad memory so had to take a pice of paper with the code on wherever I went.
I felt there was not enough places for household rubbish and these were quite difficult to find as not signposted.
Our electric hookup was not working but luckily our lead is very long so hooked it to a neighbouring pitch

Lovely site and ideal setting for the children 🏕
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Location for the park where we were pitched with tent was ideal for the children to play without worry, facilities were clean and tidy, short walk to toilets, bins & water, access to the river so the children could investigate and see what they could find. Like the option for a bath as one of my children won't do showers. Setting of the park was beautiful!
Disliked Not ideal for the toilets for the kids, especially for those that don't give you much warning 🫣 There were a few close calls.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Clean site well maintained. Shower block great even had a bath plenty of showers toilets. Easily accessed from the m6 and a66. Basic shop selling amazing apple pies plus basic extras. A day trip to Lake District national park is a must. CA124RD. Great place some amazing animals.
Disliked Only minor downside was pitches were bit uneven but nothing serious nothing a good rake and top up with gravel wouldn’t fix.
