Weekend Trip to Fairy Bell Wood
Ste and Emily's yurt was so relaxing for our winter getaway. We absolutely loved the wood burning stove and the hob was just enough for us to cook inside. We also loved that the yurt was located in between the Lakes and the Dales! We were able to get in a hike in on both days we were there! Would highly recommend! Thank you Ste and Emily for a lovely stay!

Loved our first pod experience. Very warm and cozy. Facilities were great! Directions were a little confusing at the start as the sat-nav took us to the house a little distance up the road but once we knew our place it was absolutely fine.
Would stay again and will be recommending to family & friends.

I had the most wonderful stay at this campsite over the weekend. It’s such a lovely spot, set on a farmyard where chickens, ducks, and geese wander around freely, which gives it a really peaceful and charming atmosphere. Each pitch comes with its own firepit, and wood is thoughtfully provided – such a nice touch that made the evenings really special.
The host, Ted, is absolutely brilliant. He’s a genuinely lovely, well-spoken gentleman who takes the time to come around the site to check that everyone is happy and comfortable. You really feel looked after here.
It’s rare to find a campsite that feels this welcoming and relaxed. Honestly, I can’t say a bad word about it – it’s perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cosy, friendly getaway.

We had a fantastic stay! Ted was an incredible host - welcoming, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The land itself is absolutely beautiful, well-maintained, clean and views are stunning. Even during a busy bank holiday weekend, there was plenty of space for everyone, so it didn’t felt crowded.
A lovely bonus was the presence of ducks and chickens on the property, which meant we had access to delicious fresh eggs in the morning..such a treat!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Such a great place to go camping, the owners are amazing people and are always more then happy to help with anything, they have good facilities with hot water, showers, pot washing station, cold drinking water. They also have a small nature walk on site and long meadow grass and wild flower between plots. The plots are nicely spread out with lots of room between other campers and the pots are a good size. 10/10 would highly recommend

Initially I wasn’t sure taking the lantern to do your (compost) toilet trip of 1.5 minutes but it worked as long as your mind doesn’t run wild in the dark when you’re on your own! But it all adds up to the whole experience of glamping without running water and electricity in the yurt. I loved the hot shower outside (I also used it to wash my hands after using the toilet), the sound of the stream, the hares who were very elusive, the log burner and the pub breakfast (included in the booking) and the pub food. I had to leave very early, it was still pitch black and I looked at the sky, it was magical with the stars and I even thought I could see 1-2 galaxies; I’m probably exaggerating but it was that clear without the light pollution. I loved the whole experience! Thank you!

Campsites near Hawkshead guide
Where to go
Grizedale Forest
A 10-minute drive south brings campers to Grizedale Forest, where creative forces and mother nature combine. Stroll through 4,000 hectares of woodland and discover outdoor sculptures dotted throughout the landscape. Campers can walk, bike, and horseback ride on numerous trails, ranging from 1–16 kilometres long. Spend the night at bunkies, wooden pods, and yurts that are situated within the forest boundary. Or pitch a tent at the campsite area with toilets and showers—it’s also dog-friendly.
Coniston Water
Refresh at Coniston Water—one of England's biggest lakes—situated 15 minutes southwest of Hawkshead. It’s 8-kilometres long and boasts excellent spots for swimming, fishing, and boating. Find more fun on shore, where campers can conquer the Old Man Coniston hike—a 6-kilometre circular loop that delivers gorgeous views of the lake below. Camping options at Coniston Water include grass and hardstanding pitches with individual electrical hookups, and many nearby private campsites also offer communal flush toilets, showers, and laundry facilities.
Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A mixture of rolling hills, woodlands, and coastal shoreline awaits in Arnside & Silverdale AONB. Head to Morecambe Bay and plan to arrive when “The Bore” rushes in—an awe-inspiring tidal wave. Then, take to the hills and get a panoramic view from Arnside Knott or Warton Crag. Both hills have several walking trails and prime areas for birdwatching. There are several nearby holiday parks equipped with full hookups, as well as tent-friendly pitches on farmland and luxurious lakeside glampsites well-suited for anglers.
When to go
May, June, and July are peak travel times around Hawskead for campers seeking the driest weather and warmest temperatures. August can be unpredictable and rain is very common until March. The weather throughout the year is mild, with temperatures staying above freezing and under 20°C at their hottest. When planning activities, make sure to double-check dates of operation. Guided cruises in Coniston Water only run from spring until the end of October.
