  • Well-kept touring site 10 minutes’ drive from Milnthorpe in Cumbria
  • Lake District National Park and Sizergh Castle both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Fly fishery, café and modern showers five minutes’ drive from the M6
Farletonview is a family-run site on a diversified farm surrounded by spectacular Cumbrian countryside; every hardstanding tourer pitch has glorious views over Farleton Knott and the fells, yet you’re an easy 10 minutes’ drive from shops and services in Milnthorpe. Farletonview is handy for exploring North Lancashire and Cumbria, while both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales national parks are easy to get to as the site is only about five minutes’ drive from Junction 36 of the M6. If you’d prefer to abandon the car while on site, it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the nearest bus stop for Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale. After a busy day out and about, you can refuel on tasty homemade soup, sausage rolls and cakes in the tearoom; alternatively it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the local pub for bar snacks and meals. You have a good choice of inns and takeaways within 10 minutes’ drive as well. There’s no reason to stray too far from your pitch if you don’t feel like it though. Angling folk will be hard to budge from the fly-fishing lake, which operates on a catch-and-release with permits available on site – and if you’re looking for unusual souvenirs of your Cumbria stay, stock up on cottage-garden perennials at the plant nursery. Practical amenities on site include showers, a washing-up station and waste and grey water disposal.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, great showers and toilets which are spotless. All amenities needed, chemical toilet disposal, grey water waste drain, electric hook up and fresh water at each site. We were there mid week so very quiet and peaceful. Only five minutes from the M6 so very handy for a stopover. We loved it

Jayne L.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked A lovely site with views of Farleton knott, welcoming owners who showed us to our pitch and through not far from the M6 the traffic noise was negligible. The location was perfect for trips to the lakes or the Yorkshire dales. Lovely up to date clean shower/toilet cubicles all in one room so totally private though there is nothing to say when they’re occupied so you can get the occasional handle being tried when you’re in there which is ok as long as you’ve checked your door is locked. 😂😂 We didn’t use the cafe as we were out all day but it’s open thurs-Sunday and seems very popular with a good menu. Loved the plant nursery and stocked my car up the day we left. Nearest food shopping Booths in Kirkby Lonsdale, didn’t find this place until our last day, but it’s a lovely little town worth looking at with a nice river walk, we were so exited to get up to the lakes that we totally overlooked what was on the doorstep. 🙄 No WiFi, I had my data roaming on so didn’t have a problem.
We did aim to have a walk around the lakes one evening but gates were locked with no entry signs.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice well kept spacious site with friendly owners. Two immaculate shower rooms. Nice cafe on site. Good location near the m6 plenty to see nearby.

Disliked Unlikely to be able to get a touring pitch overlooking the lake as these pitches all seem to be seasonals.

Liked The people were lovely, very helpful and polite. The site was spotless and very well kept. For fishermen the lakes are a bonus.

Disliked Although there is a cafe on site the opening hours are limited. It could be expanded into a small shop as the site is a little isolated.

Local attractions

It’s hard to know what to do first when you’re staying at Farletonview, as there’s a whole raft of options within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. For those of you who like to have a nose around old houses, Levens Hall is a statuesque Elizabethan mansion with spectacular knot gardens and walks through parkland, and National Trust-owned Sizergh is a 14th-century castle with period furniture in sumptuous wood-panelled rooms. You can be walking and cycling in the Lake District National Park in 10 minutes’s drive too, as well as going quad biking at the Outdoor Adventure Company or shooting clay pigeons at Crabtree Clay Shoot you fancy a bit more action. Only slightly further away is the popular hill walk up Arnside Knott (15 minutes) for views over the Irish Sea. Not quite what you’re after? Get out on the water with a boat cruise around Lake Windermere (20 minutes), have a flutter on the horses at Cartmel Racecourse (25 minutes), or slip over the county lines for a foray up to stunning Hardraw Force waterfall (45 minutes) in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes).
