Lazonby Campsite

Lovely little site next to the river , with lovely walks , the facilities are at the swimming pool and are clean but basic and a little bit far for night time needs but this is a gem of a place and is run by volunteers who are nice and friendly ! There is a coop supermarket back in the village and a couple of pubs or a brisk 20 min walk to the next village theres 2 more pubs with excellent food . Me and my wife loved our stay here would definitely stay again should we visit Cumbria again

Beautiful location, next to a river.

Clean facilities, friendly staff. Close to co-op if there is anything you forgot!

Excellent rural location with little light pollution as there are not lights from the pool to the site which is brilliant for looking at the stars.
We stayed for the Pool End of Season Party which was brilliant and the breakfast the pool does on some Sundays during the Season was excellent.
Friendly staff asking how we were and if the site was okay.
We have stayed here a number of occasions and have had a great time and met some very nice people who we sometimes see again at the site.

Volunteers who run this site are heroes without capes! We loved the pool, the park & making great memories with family and friends that didnt break the bank.
Great location, so pretty and peaceful. Look forward to yet another year at this site. Yes its muddy, yes you have to walk a few steps up to the Toilets & Showers - this is camping though!
A fantastic price, and no rules as long as your arm to adhere to.

Absolutley wonderful. Small site close to the river with a brilliant play park and outdoor pool on your doorstep. Its an ideal location for walks by the river & very dog friendly. Staff visted daiky to check water taps and site but werent intrusive. Its so peaceful you feel like you are really out in the countryside but with a short walk to the toilets & showers. The water in the showers & sinks is lovely and hot. We visted twice this summer once in perfect weather and once when it was very rainy. We loved each visit. The rainy time did make the field in parts boggy but there was enough room to avoid this..and expected for camping in Cumbria during a flood warning! There is a lovely community spirit to the place, friendly staff who are always so welcoming at the pool. Our little girl loved the park area and we met with other friendly campers & played rounders togther some evenings. Short walk to the pub, trainstation & coop (which stocks everything you could need). Fabulous stay. We will be back next summer!! Thank you

Booked to stay here as we wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful, and that’s exactly what we got.
Lovely little campsite, with everything close by. Scenery was lovely, especially along the river.
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great when we stayed, causing a lot of the area to become water logged, however that didn’t stop us having a lovely time away.
Staff at the pool were all very lovely and always said hello when we popped up to use the facilities.

the path to the shower/ toilet blocks not very well lit up at night, which made me feel unsafe when going alone.

Playground for children

Pitches shut off which we weren’t aware of and ended up setting up in a camper and spot when they had gone out for the day as restricted due to really uneven ground and flooded areas. Electric point over 8 ft in the air with a step between the whole field which we didn’t know so picture a 3 hour drive with 2 kids then at 8.30pm having to lift each other up to get to the electric point. Not one person did we see all weekend to greet us or give any information, may as well of not even paid. Toilets up a long unlit path close to roadside locked with a padlock, very dated and floor muddy. Ended up washing hair in sink and wasn’t sure on the showers. Kids were looking forward to pool but was only open on 1 day the day we were leaving and the girl opening up didn’t say one word to us. Really disappointed after reading reviews we honestly thought we had come to the wrong place when we pulled up. Nothing more than a small boggy field with not one light on, you would camp in when you were 15.

Good park area for children, nice view of the nearby river.

Uneven pitches, very muddy/wet as to be expected at this time of year. No one to greet us on arrival which we did expect after reading some of the reviews but we didn’t see anyone all weekend - could’ve had a free stay. The pool was a disappointment only open the day we left so we didn’t have use of that. Dated/unclean toilet & showering facilities especially the floor full of mud & a bucket of filthy water, toilets/showers are up a driveway way which is unlit at night we felt unsafe & had to go in groups for toilet runs. Electric is high off the ground with only a step up to use not sure why this is but not very safe. Overall disappointed with our visit wouldn’t stay again or recommend.

Hot showers

Muddy, toilet block very dated, can't keep your pitch if you go out as some one will be in it by the time you come back. We paid 3 nights, spent 1 night in campsite, 1 night in field next door, didn't bother staying for the 3rd night,
