Date of Visit: July 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: IainM 22 reviews from this member

 Stayed longer than intended. A really peaceful spot.

Better signage from the main road would have been appreciated, I was beginning to think I had gone wrong when the site finally came into view.

Wardens were friendly and the site is beautifully kept. Lack of loo block was not an issue for me.

Found plenty to do locally, Carlisle offers all the shops you are likely to need. The northern lakes are not too far away either.

Reviewer: RoyVaux 45 reviews from this member

 Being only 5 miles from the noisy motorway we were please to stop off at this no facilities site on our way south - as were quite a few other visitors.

The reception welcome was warm and friendly and site gets full marks for tidiness and its peaceful woodland setting. The 'facilities' rating is low only because there are none! However, we could not see any strong reasons to stay here longer and the site has little to offer children (not that we had any with us). The prospect of seeing a red squirrel, as many have, was exciting but we probably lacked the patience to wait for them to appear! We will certainly stop off again here.

 Lovely Site, beautiful trees and flowers and plenty of grass making this a lovely peaceful location.

Great walks from the Site for the dog. Choice of pubs in Armathwaite if you fancy a pint or a meal.

No play park for the children but there are areas where they could play safely.

No toilet block but not a problem if you are happy to use your own.

Reviewer: Rickym34 28 reviews from this member

 We really enjoyed our stay here. It is set out in the countryside, but is still close to Carlisle - perfect so that we could visit the Castle there. We had a lovely view over the fields, and caught sight of lots of birds visiting the bird feeders on site. Only downside for us as a family of 5 is no toilet block, but we knew there was not one before we booked. Lovely friendly wardens completed our very pleasant visit. Make sure you follow the Caravan Club book directions - bumpy approach road to the site.

Reviewer: Gumpandwoo 20 reviews from this member

 We stopped at this site for one night on our way to Scotland. What a lovely site, the warden was really helpful and welcoming.

We didn't realise there was not a toilet block but this was our fault as it is clearly detailed on the website etc, but this was not an issue as we were only there one night and had our own facilities in the van.

Lovely big pitches which were hardstanding, close to the M6, very pretty site with lots of greenery around the pitches. Would definitely stay again 


Popular Choice in this Area

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale

Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.

Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here



Date of Visit: October 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Stef and mandy 21 reviews from this member

 This site is a gem! Only downfall is no shower/toilet block as my wife has a lot of hair and the shower in our Lunar Lexon means we need a more powerful shower after 3 nights, although we would have loved to have stayed longer.

It is close to Penrith which we found to be a bonny town, with dog friendly pubs serving good food. However I think the caravan club are mis-marketing this site as it talks about plants on the site! They are nice but this site is within one of the most beautiful places I have visited in the UK; it is the Eden Valley and it is stunning.

Even the dog walks at the site are breathtaking, with stunning lakes and trees, made even more fantastic by the colours at this time of year.

Go to Penrith and buy a local walk book (around the Penrith area about £10) from tourist information and (especially if you have a dog/s) look at the walk from Armathwaite. It starts at the Fox and Pheasant pub (fantastic food and beer), views the river and castle, and circumvents the area over 7miles - Fantastic!.

90% of the pubs are dog friendly, the locals, and the wardens on the site are great, and on Friday teatime you can order fish and chips on site.

My wife (hair factors aside) was sad to leave, and it's only a couple of miles off the M6. The site recycles, but there is little for kids. 


Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: LauraJ28 2 reviews from this member

 We used this site as a stop over for a trip up to Scotland and it is very quiet and pretty. The site is built on the grounds of an old house and I was determined to find the evidence left of the house which consists of two sets of steps which led to the main entrance of the house and the gardens. Our pitch (42) was apparently on the old tennis courts! The wardens were very helpful and provided us with two leaflets one with info about the old house and the other with some short walks around the site. The only downside for us is that it doesn't have a toilet block and we don't have a separate shower in the caravan. (Not an issue if you can shower in your van)

Site info - Wardens very helpful and full of info about the old house. No play equipment for children, plenty of dog walks and all pitches hard standing (some in little cul-de-sacs)

Around the site - Settle and Carlisle railway, Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall.

Overall - super little site

Reviewer: Highlander09 24 reviews from this member

 We stayed here on our journey from Inverness to Yorkshire. A real joy of a site, not too far from the M6 and great for a quiet break and relax after motorway travel for most of the day.

As others have said there are no toilets but that is more than made up for by having such a peaceful site. Walks for the dogs are everywhere and not too many distractions for them when they are at home.

Booked again next year for our trip south, so looking forward to visiting again.

Reviewer: Mrscairnnut 58 reviews from this member

 We stopped here on our journey back from Scotland since it is just off the M6, about 8 miles or so. What a lovely, peaceful, tidy, well manicured site which is in the grounds of an old manor house, which is no longer there. There are no facilities on this site, but there are electric hook ups, plenty of places to empty your toilets, some lovely walks around the lakes, and just generally a great place to spend time. We could do with a site or two like this where we live! Recommended and good value for money. Not good I think for children, too much water around with the lakes.

Reviewer: Kypn 3 reviews from this member

 First time visit to this site. Blissfully quiet with spacious pitches. This is the site for a peaceful few days or a stop on en route to/from Scotland being only a few miles off the M6.

Lovely dog walks - through the forest and past (deep!)lakes takes you to the nearby village and the 'local' pub. At odds with a previous review we found the landlord very friendly and most helpful. Although closed he saw us sitting outside and offered us a drink anyway and brought the dogs a pint of water too!

A site well worth a visit though perhaps not if you have children as there is little of anything for them to do.
