About Social District
This is a back to nature pop-up site, spread across 50 acres of grassland and charming woodland. 500 yards of lake frontage add to the gorgeous views and make for some amazing sunsets. There are 30 grass pitches for tents only, set in a beautiful field surrounded by nature. Just opposite the campsite is an interesting English Heritage museum based at a wooden bobbin mill. Also in easy reach down the road is a YMCA camping base where you'll be able to book and enjoy outdoorsy activities and team building exercises. Up to two dogs are allowed per pitch and with this being an idyllic countryside retreat, it's the perfect chase for you and your four-legged pals. Fire pits are allowed in the provided fire pits, as long as they stay raised off the ground.
The site is open for Easter, May bank holidays and from 26th May to 31st August.
Back to basics facilities include toilet and shower facilities as well as a fresh water point and an area to wash up. Fire pits and fire wood can be bought from the site office.
The Lakeside and Swan Spa hotels are only a five minute drive away, each with an excellent restaurant. The Anglers Arms is around a ten minute drive away at Haverthwaite, the Mason Arms 15 minutes away and not forgetting Bowness on Windermere is only 20 minutes away with eateries and entertainment.

The location next to the lake is wonderful. We found it a bit difficult to find the place, but the staff are very helpful and can guide you there via phone.
Excellent campsite

Loved the place. Right on the lake. Was a bit boggy but not that it effected our stay. Toilet and showers always immaculate. Very impressed, will be back.
