  • Quiet and secluded site with spectacular views of the Lake District
  • Five-minute drive from Bassenthwaite Lake; 15 to Keswick, Cockermouth
  • Spa next door; five minutes' walk to the Lake District Wildlife Park
Could trips to Cumbria get any more spectacular than at this serene site…? Answers on a postcard please to Coalbeck Caravan Park… in a central setting for touring the Lake District and nearby coastline, this haven has views of the region’s woods, fields and hills from its spacious grounds. Getting you to linger a little longer before heading out for explores, the spacious pitches at Coalbeck Caravan Park are prime for spotting creatures like rare red squirrels among the pretty planters, and are a suntrap when the rays come out too. But if rain’s threatening? A spa next door to the site means you can book in for a treatment (or three…?). Back outdoors, the site’s a five-minute drive from Bassenthwaite Lake – one of the only bodies of water in the region with no settlements around it – so it’s got a peaceful vibe yet is close enough to many of the main sights in the northern part of the lakes. Case in point: it’s around a 15-minute drive to historic towns like Keswick and Cockermouth and about a half an hour to the coast. If you’re looking for leisure without having to get behind the wheel, Lake District Wildlife Park’s 24 acres of land home to more than 100 animals is a five-minute walk away. You’ll also need to ditch the car to visit The Lakes Distillery: this artisan gin, whisky and vodka producing place a 25-minute stroll from the park has tastings, tours and a small shop where you can wander off with some of its wares.

What customers say

"Immaculate facilities, especially allocated loos per pitch! Friendly owner Sid shares local gems. Great base for Lake District exploring, walks, and nearby attractions. Single shower rarely an issue due to limited pitches."

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Came across this site by mistake but in a way I’m glad I got this site. Quiet, clean and peaceful was perfect for us. The groundskeeper keeps the site nice and clean.
Not far from the popular Lake District towns as well.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Welcoming site owner, quite location and perfect starting place for visiting different areas. Allocated toilet per pitch which is fab. One shower and one washing up sink per the 5 pitches, thought this might be an issue, but it wasn't. Didn't have to wait for either.

Disliked WiFi was a bit intermittent, but nothing major.

Would come again thank you we had a brilliant stay!

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Fantastic, quiet and immaculate site for only 5 motorhomes/campervans on a small static caravan site about 15 van). Good location close to Bassenthwaite lake 10-15 minutes walk away. Easy access to the northern lakes including Keswick, Derwentwater and also to the coast and Cockermouth. We liked having our own toilet which kept spotlessly clean. Easy access to buses just a 5 minutes walk away walk.

Disliked There was nothing we disliked but maybe if you want a busy site this is maybe not for you.

Local attractions

For ambles around art galleries and wanders in Wordsworth House and Garden, Keswick is eight miles away. Cockermouth, on the other hand, about the same distance to the south east, is just the place for meandering through medieval and Georgian alleyways under castle walls. Or for classic Lake District outdoorsy options instead, Derwentwater's walking and cycling circuit (set aside about half a day to complete if strolling) takes half an hour to reach in the car. To break up traipsing around the tarns inland, Solway Coast Area of Natural Beauty is 40 minutes by car, while underground explores at Honister Slate Mine in Borrowdale are 45 minutes away. If you fancy staying above ground and sauntering southwards, Lake Ullswater steamer cruises are also 45 minutes from the park and Lake Windermere is the place to waterski (an hour and five minutes away from Coalbeck Caravan Park). To scale one of the region’s highest peaks, Scafell Pike takes an hour and 15 minutes to reach.
