Church Lane Campsite

Liked Basic but perfect
Pitch options where anywhere you felt suitable, not marked out, but given the terrain is very jelly it limits to the outskirt parameters of each field really.
Facilities are clean and although basic were perfect, showers were hot and the toilets clean albeit portaloos

Disliked There are 4 portaloos would be nice to have gendered them off so 2x female 2x male

Liked Stayed here in our new Tentbox and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Church Lane Campsite is perfectly located between Kendal and Windermere, offering a simple, back-to-basics setup—just what we were after: pitch up, get a good night’s sleep, and grab a hot shower in the morning.

The site delivered exactly that, and more. When our car wouldn’t start as we were leaving, the owner, Rob, came down to help without hesitation. He stayed with us for a while, kept us company, and even drove us into the nearest village for food and drinks. I left thinking what a genuinely kind person he is—and the same goes for his two sons, who were equally friendly and down-to-earth.

Thanks again for the great hospitality.

(P.S. Turns out the battery was flat—we must’ve left something on. The mechanic thinks the jump leads were just connected the wrong way!)

Liked The Staff were great, so helpful getting you pitched up, he explained everything, the site was nice quite, some sloped ground but you can get a level pitch if early.

Hot shower

Disliked It could have been me to study the map better, but the postcode took you to the farm, there is a sign to correct you, but maybe a better postcode or What Three Words to get you to the camp gates. Could improve recycling bins as was a bit confusing, and others had mixed the bins up

From the manager: Thank you for such a lovely review! It was great to have you, and we're really glad you enjoyed your stay.

Just a note on the directions - we do provide a What Three Words in the booking email, which pinpoints to the entrance gate. Unfortunately Pitchup forces us to use our farmhouse postcode as the official address which is a couple of mins drive away. We'll copy and paste the information below for anyone reading:

'What3words: unlucky.ditching.twinkled. The site is on Back Lane. Please do not follow your satnav to LA8 8LQ, as this will take you to the farmhouse. From Crook Road, take the exit at St Catherine's Church. The site entrance is approximately 600 metres from the end of the road on the right-hand side.'

Thank you for your feedback on the bins - we make sure everything is sorted when we collect it. Into recyclables and general waste.

Very best wishes,

Church Lane Campsite

Liked A Glorious Brow to Kneel Down To…

Nestled at the top of Sunny Brow Farm, Church Lane Campsite felt like a quiet prayer answered for campers like us who seek simplicity, serenity, and starry skies. As the sun crested the brow of the hill each morning, it bathed the field in golden light.

This site is a minimalist’s dream: a peaceful field with just the essentials—clean toilets, water, and bins—without the clutter of overbuilt structures or artificial lighting. At night, the darkness was complete and comforting, perfect for stargazing or enjoying the glow of a campfire (yes, fires are allowed!).

The views were exceptional, stretching across the countryside in every direction, and the staff were genuinely lovely—friendly, helpful, and constantly checking in to keep the facilities spotless. It’s rare to see such care taken with such a simple setup.

But the real miracle? The price. In a time when many campsites are cashing in on camping’s popularity.
