  • 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.

What customers say

Beautiful views, great location near pubs/eats. Staff friendly. Showers/toilets clean, spacious (rugby club changing rooms!). Pitches well-spaced. Some found it pricey for what's on offer, with occasional cleanliness or shower wait issues when busy.

Chris A.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Staff very friendly and very helpful when I wanted to change from a hard standing pitch to a grass so I could put my awning up. Showers were great and huge being a full changing room. They were also kept pretty clean. There was no noise after 10 which was great. As there were no light pollution the view of the stars was amazing. The view in the daytime was beautiful too.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The showers! Having all the space to ourselves of a rugby changing room is amazing! Basically they open up 6 of the changing rooms and each family/group take the whole changing room. Being able to take my two young boys in there and not have them in separate cubicles and trying to get them dry and dressed with a soaking wet floor from the shower like in most sites is brilliant.

Disliked One party on our final night had a dangerous dog off the lead.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Space, location.

Disliked Amenities are basic and obviously a work in progress. Unfortunately it rained heavily during our stay and the grass became waterlogged fairly quickly.

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.
