  • Family-friendly, family-run site on a working farm in Cumbria
  • Less than five minutes’ drive from Lake District National Park
  • Top spot for walking, cycling and watersports
Fresh air, wind in your hair and the sounds of nature… Rural holiday dreams, right? Get a good dose of all the above at Shepherds Views Holidays, a small, family-run site on a working farm a few minutes’ drive from the village of Holmrook in Cumbria, North West England. Shepherds Views, less than five minutes from the edge of the Lake District National Park, is a top spot for an outdoor getaway. There are hundreds of walking routes throughout the park for all levels of difficulty – keep your eyes peeled for otters, deer, eagles and the elusive red squirrel as you go. If you’re more comfortable on two wheels than two legs, hire a bike on site and head off on one of the many cycle and mountain biking trails that crisscross the park, or follow Hadrian’s cycleway, which passes the Shepherds View entrance. You can also take to the water an hour away with boat hire, steamer and launch trips, and rafting and canoeing, or venture out of the Lake District National Park and head over to the coast, less than five minutes away, for swimming or exploring the beaches. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make your way back to site where you can fire up the barbecue, pile it high with all your faves, then chow down with Rex stretched out next to you beside the campfire – if you’d prefer a break from cooking, there are plenty of restaurants within half an hour of Shepherds View.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful coastal setting, praised for its roomy sites, helpful staff, and clean amenities. Fire pits are a hit. Some guests found shower temps and water pressure inconsistent, and occasional toilet cleanliness issues were noted. Unisex restrooms are standard. Wi-Fi can be spotty. Great for exploring the area.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Very welcoming and helpful lady who greeted us. Quiet and only a 10 minute walk to the sea.

Disliked Showers and loos are a bit dated and could have been a bit cleaner. If the site had been busy they wouldn't have been enough. Expensive for the limited facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review
I appreciate the comments regarding our interaction on check in.

Our main shower and toilet block has been newly renovated and is fully modern facilities.
We have two shower and toilet blocks which are both in full use during busy times, only one was open at the time of your visit due to us being quieter on site.
In total we have 9 toilets, 8 showers, 3 wash rooms
Both shower and toilet blocks are modern and more then the adequate amount for when site is fully booked.
All our facilities are cleaned thoroughly daily by myself and checked frequently.
I would have appreciated it if you had mentioned any of your concerns during your stay as it would have allowed me to address this with you.

Kind regards,
Rachael

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was an amazing place, very nice layout with the simple things needed. The toilets were lovely and the shower was perfect! It seems like a lot of love has gone into the place, it is not something you see a lot in camping spaces and it really does show to your guests! Friendly host who was very accommodating, even with our late arrival - she made us laugh and made it easy to settle in.

Liked The very warm welcome and all the clear information regarding the site.
We were shown to our pitch and where all the facilities were. Lovely clean toilets and showers. A 30 min walk over the road and along the stunning beach into Seascale town.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Large pitches, secure site

Disliked Grounds not maintained, pitches nor level, wifi dos not reach caravans, shop not open enough small selection of goods, no real shops neat site, no food outlets. No pubs

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review
The shower and toilet block has been newly renovated and is only 4 months old, so i am unsure as to how you can say the facilities are dated as they are brand new
WIFI is available down by reception and is free for guests to use
The shop is open from 9am - 7pm Monday - Saturday
9am - 5pm Sunday
We have a sign on the door which advises guests to ring the telephone number if you require the shop, all guests are also advised this upon arrival
The nearest pub is 1 mile down the road, we provide all this information on site which is accessible 24/7
If you had asked me regarding any of this i would have been able to assist you, however i provided all this information to you on check in

Thank you Rachael

Overall I would highly recommend to stay at Shepherd’s View!🫶

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We’ve had a great couple of days away from town. Loved the nature, it was peaceful like what we expected. There were animals that my kids just loved and every morning they were running to see how Donkeys , cows , alpacas and sheep’s are doing:) animals were really friendly and let us to be stroked and it’s all for free too! We had drinking water right next to our tent which was a plus! Also toilets were only round the corner very well looked after. Equipped in toilet paper and hand soap. Little shop was on the site that of course we have used as it was so cheap too and you could get snacks toys ect. Sea side was only 5minutes away to drive
I would definitely go back!:)

Local attractions

Clamber aboard the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (10 minutes’ drive from Shepherds Views Holidays) for a trip through the Lake District under someone else’s steam, then venture to Horse and Husky for horse riding and dog sledding. Making your way to Wast Water lake, 25 minutes from site, is a must too, even if you just stop and soak up the absolutely stunning views – you’ll feel your stress melt away. Active sorts will want to swim on over to West Lakes Adventure, 25 minutes from the site, where they can try canyoning, canoeing, rock climbing, archery, abseiling, raft building, mountain biking and paddleboarding. For a feel of what it must have been like to live that Upstairs Downstairs, Downton Abbey type of life, take a trot around the gardens at the spectacular Muncaster Castle, 10 minutes from Shepherds Views, or trip along to the stately home of Wordsworth House (the childhood home of poet William Wordsworth) where you can poke around the rooms, root around in the gardens and let the kids go wild. Kids still chafing at the bit? Get in the car for an excursion to Jump Mania trampoline park, Lake District Coast Aquarium or Lake District Wildlife Park, all within an hour of site.
