  • Motorhome pitches in woodland a 10-minute drive from Lake Windermere
  • Lakeland Motor Museum five minutes’ drive; Ulverston 15 minutes
  • Playground and duck pond; sauna and hot tub; launderette; shop
Experience the stunning landscape of the Lake District – but without the tourist madness often associated with the area – by staying at Black Beck Holiday Park, a peaceful site on the fringes of the national park. You’re only a 10-minute drive along the A590 from the southernmost tip of Lake Windermere here, which puts waterfront hikes and water-based activities within easy-peasy reach. Motorhome pitches (with water and drainage hook-up points) occupy an area of mature woodland with exquisite views of distant mountains. Among the on-site facilities is a secure children’s playground (with swings and see-saws), while the adults’ play area includes a sauna and a hot tub (with which you might well fall in love after a few days of scrambling up fells…), plus a shop selling beer and other local specialities. If you prefer your beer in a more social setting, a pub in the village of Bouth (five minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk) serves ales and traditional fare in a cosy setting with a woodburning stove and assorted taxidermy. There are more dining options along the A590, on the banks of the River Leven (about five minutes) and in the lively market town of Ulverston (15 minutes). Back at the site, take your dog (for which there is a small additional daily fee) for a walk along the site’s wooded paths down to the pond, where the kids can feed the ducks. In addition to a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, the site has a launderette (with an iron and a board) and a drying room.

Anthropod camping pod (hot tub, pet friendly)

Liked Loved the pod. The attention to detail was next level. Clean and had everything we needed. Really good park as well. Ideal and quiet. The park and pond were a hit for our 4 yr old. We used it as a base to travel across to little langdale and great langdale. Ideal with the rain to keep dry.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Bluebell fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Clean, well spaced pitches. Facilities are brilliant. Bins and elson point is close by. God play area for children. Spa facilities are good especially the sauna.

Disliked Could do with a sectioned off dog area. Different pricing for spa. £15 for 6 people is probably rarely used, more like 2 people use it at a time

Bluebell fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Good sized pitches which were fully serviced, definitely need strong screw in type pegs as ground is very hard. Nice and quiet and central for all areas in the lake district. Toilet and showers were clean and warm. Site itself is beautiful and well maintained.

Disliked Showers were small and located in a weird place for touring area, only having 2 might prove difficult when all touring pitches are full

Bluebell fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Pitch was level with plenty of space.

Disliked Only 2 showers available and were very cramped.
Football pitch at the play area was muddy and very uneven.
Shop had a poor selection of goods.
Large holes appeared one morning right across the road about 2 inches deep which looked like the speed humps had been taken away and not filled in. No warning signs were installed until much later that day.
Very poor Wi-Fi connection.

Local attractions

A converted mill on the banks of the Leven houses the Lakeland Motor Museum (five minutes’ drive), with a vast collection of vintage vehicles – from bicycles and scooters to motorcars, plus the Campbell Bluebird Exhibition, featuring several vehicles used by Donald Campbell during his speed-record breaking attempts. The kids might enjoy meeting Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail and other beloved characters at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, in Bowness-on-Windermere (25 minutes). Here, they can also learn about the author and her conservation efforts, while across Windermere Lake is National Trust - Hill Top (25 minutes), the farmhouse she bought in 1905. National Trust - Sizergh (25 minutes) is a medieval property that’s been home to the same family for 800 years. During this time, they have accumulated a remarkable collection of portraits and decorative art objects. Stroll through the extensive grounds looking for butterflies and hawfinches.
