Abbot Park is a small, family run hill farm occupying 120 acres within the Lake District National Park. For 60 years on the farm we have raised sheep and cattle along with a number of free range hens. The farm comprises of open countryside, it offers a wildlife haven for birds, butterflies, deer and many more visitors. We enjoy the benefits of a quiet rural location, which is the ideal starting point for walking and cycling. The site offers a stunning vista across the western lake district and Furness peninsula. Because we are a camping site we can only accept tents, NO Caravans or Trailer Tents. We have a minimum of two nights stay for weekends during all school holidays and three nights on a Bank Holiday. Should you be planning your summer holidays we advise the following:- To ensure a pitch we recommend that you arrive on a Sunday or through the week as weekends can get busier. Walking groups or clubs need to pre-arrange before arrival. As we have a zero tolerance for noise after 10.30pm we only allow family groups (other groups at the discretion of the proprietors).
