Time for a slice of the simple life? Grab a peaceful Lake District pitch at Church Lane Campsite and immerse yourselves in proper scenic countryside with few distractions. This back to basics site has life’s essentials in place – in the form of drinking water, toilets and showers – but hasn’t gone overboard with other facilities, so you’ll simply be left to set up your space and soak up the gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside. Pitches here are on grass with trees around the field to provide a bit of shelter and shade – and the views are pretty much green as far as you can see. This setting gives the place a remote atmosphere that’s well suited to adventurous travellers, nature lovers and serenity-seeking couples or families. That said, it’s not actually all that remote – handily, you’ll be able to drive to Kendal in about 10 minutes for cultural attractions, shops and places to eat, and popular Windermere is about the same distance in the other direction. Closer still are a smart rural restaurant and the little village of Crook, a mile away and the home of the local pub – both excellent options for a good feed.

Cute little cabin in a very seculded spot with nature literally on the doorstep. The deer are very friendly and that was definitely a highlight. Everything you needed in the cabin for a lovely break, as long as you don't mind the short walk to the bathroom. The internet didn't work but I got great signal on my phone so wasn't an issue. There are great walks really close by. I'd definitely reccomend a stay here.

We stayed at your campsite for three nights and chose a pitch right next to the stream. We absolutely loved it! ❤️
The weather wasn’t on our side, but we actually spent all three days at the campsite without going anywhere, because we felt so comfortable and cosy there.
The showers were great, and we really liked the little washing-up area everything was clean, convenient and well thought out.
We had such a lovely and relaxing stay and will definitely come back again. We were honestly sad to leave!
One thing we were pleasantly surprised about the campsite says there is no internet, but we actually had a really good 5G signal, so we had no problems staying connected at all.
Thank you for such a lovely stay! We really enjoyed it. 😊

We loved our stay in Tan Pod over the weekend. It was cosy and had exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. The shower had great water pressure and was nice and hot. The amenities were ample and the bed was really comfy. The view was gorgeous and a joy to wake up to. The grounds and surroundings are beautiful. Perfectly situated between Keswick and Penrith with a delicious farm shop 10mins drive away. We would stay here again.

The campsite was breathtaking, peaceful, and had little noise, though it was next to a working farm where work starts after 10:00 a.m. and stops before 6:00 p.m.
It was a relaxing experience with wonderful staff, and the toilets and showers were clean; it is one of the better showers I have been to. I will definitely be going back with other freinds!
Thanks again for a wonderful camp.

Directions were clear. The 2 toilets and 2 showers were very clean. The hooks in the showers were very helpful. The dishwashing station was clean (with access to drinking water). There’s also a longer sink with a big mirror for getting ready.
The log shop came in very handy and we were able to buy a fire pit, wood, and kindling. This included a lighter. We just scanned and paid through Monzo. Easy.
Gorgeous views from the campsite. We saw sheep, cows, and horses on the surrounding land.
Amazing for stargazing at night. Would definitely recommend.

We loved camping here in the woods. The pitches are secluded and private- you have your own little patch of relaxing woodland and not a car or campervan in sight! The toilet block was so clean and I really appreciated the soft lighting as it didn't blind you when using the bathroom at night.
You can tell Duncan and the team really care about protecting this wooded area and are environmentally conscious. This was also much appreciated.
The town is just a 15-20 minute walk away and there is a nice local pub that serves great pies.
Haworth is a very short distance away and it was lovely to come back to the woods after a day out.

Me and my partner booked here for 4 nights with our two children and are looking to book again, we would highly recommend! The kids loved playing in the beck, we all walked through to the top which was amazing (remember your water shoes!) the campsite was quite and tranquil, we brought our own fire pit and wood but it is available to hire. The hill from the car park to the tents is great exercise but the owner is also there to help you with your things. Toilets and showers were clean. We would recommend any day. Thanks again for having us!
