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.

If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. The facilities include separate male and female toilet blocks, pay per use shower block, mobile phone charging facilities, free wifi and chemical toilet disposal and a drinking water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only). No waste accepted onsite. All rubbish must be taken home at the end of your stay.

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.

3 nights at Baystone Bank Farm Campsite

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.

Loved our trip. We booked site 2 with compost loo and shower. We were unlucky with the weather after 3 months of heat waves and no rain got every day raining but even with that loved it. Everything was easy and felt really relaxed. Also loved the sauna. Will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Woodsworth Exploring

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!
