  • Peaceful touring site on a farm in Cumbria's Eden Valley
  • A 20-minute drive from Penrith and with easy access to the M6
  • Between the Lake District National Park and North Pennines
It’s cleverly named, Cumbria’s Eden Valley – in a special spot just between the Lake District National Park to the west and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east. It’s got mountains and moors to ramble on, and easy access to the M6 too (which, while not necessarily boosting the scenery factor, does make life much easier for getting in and out). Equally well named is Eden Valley Holidays, a peaceful site surrounded by greenery around 20 minutes’ drive from Penrith. And in an extra bonus for this particular location, it’s known to be a rain shadow area – so it’s notably less damp than some of its neighbours. Sound like quite the place for a peaceful break? Quite right. There’s no great stack of facilities to get in the way of the quiet rural vibe, but all the essentials are in place: site-wide free wifi, a chemical toilet disposal point and a wash house with toilets and free gas-powered hot showers (most welcome after days of outdoorsy antics nearby). Dogs are welcome to join you on your jaunt, but they’ll need to be well behaved and promise not to harass any farm animals. The folk that run the place are experienced caravanners themselves, so they’re well aware of the little touches that can boost a break – that means they’re the kind of people that don’t just mow the grass on site but also gather it up and cart it off so it doesn’t get trampled into your flooring. Sometimes, it’s all about those little things, eh…

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked: This is my third time staying here and once again I will be booking up again for next year. Lovely quiet out of the way site with good, clean facilities. David and Jenny are always fantastic hosts and even reserved my favorite pitch for me. When I upgraded my stay from a tent to a campervan there was no fuss and no extra charge. Shame about the rain making my favorite pitch too soggy for the van but was very happy with my other pitch. Cannot recommend enough, see you next year.

Disliked: Nothing

Laura L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great WiFi, toilet and shower were dated but very clean and in working order. Pitches fairly level and shielded from the wind.

Disliked: After having the windows and door open to the caravan I noticed lots of flies had accumulated. Even though the site is near running stream I found the amount of flies to be too many for this location. I had to fly bomb the caravan and spent a good deal of the stay either hoovering them up or swatting the flies so we could sleep. When we asked where to empty our grey water (water we had used to wash our dishes and food pots) we were instructed to empty it into the bushes. All became clear then as I can only imagine the food waste lying in the bushes attracting flies.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Level, gravel pitch. Good facilities including common room with microwave and other facilities. Clean toilets and showers within old farm buildings. Use of washing machine if required. Pretty area with nice walks, close to Shap and M6.

Disliked: Rain when we visited! Narrow roads on approach, be careful with longer vehicles / caravans.

Local attractions

More bonus points for the location when you’re looking at where to spend your days out, especially if you’re up for a hike/bike ride or few. Days upon end can be spent gadding about in the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – gorgeous spots like Ullswater and Cross Fell are within half an hour’s drive, with Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick not far beyond. Giving your legs a rest for a bit? Try a visit to the elaborate château-esque Bowes Museum, which has quite the collection of treasures to peruse, or head for the art, natural history and interactive exhibits of Tullie House Museum in Carlisle (both 45 minutes’ drive). More steps into the area’s heritage might include a trip to the giant 3D cinema at Rheged Visitor Centre (20 minutes), or a bit of Roman roaming at Hadrian’s Wall (an hour). Or of course, you could sort yourselves a ride on the Settle-Carlisle Railway (45 minutes) for a comfy way to take in scenery and history all in one.
