Hill views all over the site
On a busy weekend

  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The views

Disliked: The pitches are way to close together, the ground was way too hard and for a grass pitch it had big stones in it. the showers was way too hot and only stayed on for 5 seconds. Lock was broken in the women’s toilets.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Views location peaceful showers and toilets clean and plentiful even when site is full. The couple running it are fantastic. He is a font of local knowledge and always around checking everyone and everything was ok

Disliked: The riverside ntrance walk is closed in need of repair. It's not the sites fault but this is really handy to walk into town avoiding the road

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.
