  • Spacious and simple site in a 30-acre Cumbrian country park
  • Five minutes' walk to Kirkby Lonsdale for pubs, shops and a market
  • Near Ruskin's View for spectacular views across the Lune valley
Scrum down and stay in hilly splendour at Kirkby Lonsdale Rugby Club Camping. Fear not, you won't be woken by 15 burly blokes chasing a ball: the club makes its home in Underley Park, some 30 acres of lush nature between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Art critic John Ruskin declared this region 'one of the loveliest views in England, therefore the world' when he saw the scenes painted of it by Turner: sky-high panoramas will be yours for the snapping, with views right across the Lune valley, like nearby Ruskin's View. Hose your mucky self down back at base, where the club's showers and washrooms are well praised by visitors. And then to bed... with such a spacious site, there's plenty of room to pitch up and lose yourself in the Cumbrian countryside, even though it's only a five-minute walk from the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale. Guests are welcome to use the players' gym for an extra fee.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: This was a decent site which we will definitely be revisiting, it’s a rugby club, so you can imagine the grounds / facilities are that a rugby club. The grounds are level which made pitching easy. The views are stunning, the facilities were clean and most importantly, the cleaning area for pots / showers were warm which is important, especially with little ones! The local town is stunning, with devils bridge close by which is a must visit! The bars and restaurants in the town mean there’s plenty to do. Like I said, we will be back.

Disliked: It was fairly expensive however, it reflects that of all campsites

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Nice walk into Kirkby Lonsdale. Spacious pitches

Disliked: Only 2 showers when lots of people. Admittedly you get a entire changing room and 4 open showers, but when they are both taken, only 2; it can be a 20 minute wait for someone to come out: Club house wasn't open much whilst we were there which was a shame as we like to have a evening pint

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Well spaced out pitches, amenities were clean and easy to access, welcome on site was lovely and offered to move our pitch away from a louder group (we have two children under 7). Close to the village and beautiful views from the pitch.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: The views were good the toilets were clean

Disliked: It was over priced as we were on basically a car park with electric and we couldn’t put out our awning or windbreak as ground was too hard on Saturday the rugby was on so the cars were passing most of afternoon creating a lot of dust

Local attractions

There's a bit of a scrum over Kirkby Lonsdale, with the Lakes, the Dales and even the Forest of Bowland all claiming the town as their gateway… and why not indeed… There are many fine old inns among the 17th- and 18th-century houses of this handsome old market town, and visitors to the 11th-century church should find peace and reflection. With the river flowing right through, you're well placed to go fishing or paddle a canoe downstream; paths make for excellent easy riverside rambling too. Head half an hour north and you'll hit Windermere. Take in the view, then take a walk: at the top of the lake, Ambleside (45 minutes' drive) is a hub for many paths up the high tarns and fells. Clamouring for your attention to the east, the three peaks of the Yorkshire Dales are in easy reach, with Ingleborough closest (half an hour). If you don't fancy going up, head down to the fab caves instead. Meanwhile, armchair adventurers can settle in a comfy berth on the scenic Settle-Carlisle railway starting in, er, Settle (an hour's drive) or see the lakes from the decks of a steamer on Windermere.
