A quiet day in may

  • I den vestlige utkanten av Lake District nasjonalpark
  • Ved siden av elven Irt hvor man kan bade og fiske laks og ørret
  • Dusjer, toaletter, wifi og piknikbenker
Established in 1951, The Old Post Office Campsite is in a royally fab location for anyone after a peaceful spot to explore the Lake District. Those looking for quiet stays can deliver themselves to this compact site, just on the western border of the Lake District National Park, to enjoy the very best of the area's spectacular setting. You can be at the little village of Santon Bridge in a jiffy (it's just a one-minute walk away) and with the River Irt bordering the site, you’ll likely agree The Old Post Office has got the whole package… Swim, paddle or just bask on the banks of the calm freshwater river that flows right along one side of the site, while avid anglers can scale the choice of catches to be had with salmon, sea and brown trout floundering from the waters. You can borrow a daily or weekly-hire rod from the owners; just arrange this with them when you arrive. The site’s first-class facilities include modern toilets and showers, a laundry room with coin-operated machines, dishwashing sinks and wifi, with well-tended pathways all around the site and timber picnic benches to take in the mountains, river and countryside views. A gift and farm shop is in Santon Bridge a minute's walk away. Dogs are welcome too and with all the walking opportunities in and around the Lakes, a holiday here will really deliver the goods for all…

Likte: The situation of the site next to the river and a 5minute walk to the Bridge Inn pub , food was good but over weekends busy and should be booked
Accessible to the hills and walks and not really a hustle bustle as Windermere

Likte ikke: Only two toilets and two showers also charging 50p but we used our own facilities, but they are kept clean , again this is difficult during busy weekends and full

Likte: New owners trying their best to turn the place around, they were very helpful from the minute we arrive and nothing was to much of an ask.
Toilets spotless and the site is beautiful, if you want a quiet picturesque break stay here.

Likte: Local pub

Likte ikke: Unless you like walking along narrow roads with no pavements this is not the place for you. Having paid quite an expensive fee the showers cost 50p and a hairdryer 20p but the exact coin only. No dog walking area even though dogs cost extra so not sure what we paid for. No Wi-Fi

Plass for telt på gressplen , uten strøm

Likte: Lovely clean site. Good showers and washing up areas. Pub right next door.
Good instructions on arrival. Wasdale and the west coast in close proximity.

Likte ikke: When I booked I thought I’d booked with electric hookup but my confirmation email said none electric. When I checked they are both the same price.
In my opinion and in every campsite I’ve been to none electric is always cheaper.
The electric hookup pitches were flatter with more room also.

Plass campingbil på hardt underlag og gressplen , med strøm

Likte: Friendly host to greet us on arrival whose instruction and information were easy to follow (we arrived Friday afternoon 2nd May ) .
Layout of site was easy to use , toilets and showers were impeccably maintained and clean , facilities on site for washing etc good .
Difficult to find anything at fault , a first class experience and we’d stay again in our camper.

Likte ikke: Signs to say which piece of grass is yours for putting your garden furniture etc next to your pitch as this caused some confusion . You should have the grass to the right or left of where you park not either . Other than that a fantastic site

Likte: The location of the campsite and its proximity to sites/attractions/villages & towns was good. Toilets and showers were clean, staff friendly.

Likte ikke: No set pitches for non electric, it was a relatively small field with a first come first serve attitude to space and the site itself was relatively small. No camp shop for small amenities.

Likte: This is a fantastic site and one of our favourites.
Beautiful position next to a river. Generous pitches. Clean and tidy. Warm welcome on arrival. Handy pub just a short walk over the bridge. They also do takeaway. Lovely dog walking.
This visit was on a busy bank holiday but we still found the site quiet at night and it never felt too crowded.
The site is well positioned for visiting Wasdale. Wastwater, Eskdale and beyond with many beautiful walks or drives for the less mobile. It is only a short drive to St Bees a beautiful sandy beach where our four legged friends were able to run free.
We look forward to coming back again soon

Likte ikke: WiFi patchy but we were told this so not a surprise

Lokale attraksjoner

Pull on your comfiest boots and walk yourself to merriment around these Cumbrian parts: just over five miles away in Wasdale is one of Britain’s tiniest churches, St Olafs, with its timber beams thought to have been made from Viking ships. For hungry (and thirsty) fell explorers, the Wasdale Head Inn makes for a welcome pitstop, and the Bridge Inn, just a stroll from the site, is home to the annual ‘Biggest Liar’ competition – no kidding, it’s a real thing… Hikers hotstep to the mighty heights of Scafell Pike and Great Gable (both about seven miles away) and Red Pike (approximately 20 miles north from the site). At the Wasdale valley, as well as nurturing peaks aplenty, canoeists, kayakers and windsurfers alike will rapidly make their way to Wast Water, just five minutes from the site, the deepest lake in the UK. Cycling and walking routes around the lakes and mountains are plentiful, as are the chances for boating and fishing, but if you really want to go off-piste, you could try abseiling, climbing, a high ropes course, or even flying: hot air balloon and paragliding experiences are available for those who want to soar even higher than Scafell.
