Camping at Cardewlees Reviews

Great 1 night stay

Nice and peaceful place within a working farm, very clean facilities and generous amount of space in our pod (two adults and two seven year olds). The gentleman we met at our pod was really friendly. He helped us when we got there and dropped our firewood in while we were out. The contact with the property was nice and easy with very polite messages and a very quick response. We will definitely be returning in the near future! Thank you very much.

Just what was needed...

This is a real farm so be prepared for the action & some untidiness that can bring. We loved it.. we loved having to wait for the chickens to do their things so we could actually leave.We loved seeing the family pulling together, even the kids! It’s a Peaceful site with very few rules so If that’s what you like then this is for you! The toilets and showers are basic but they do the job f that’s what you’re after. We were! Its location is great 40mins to Keswick the rest of the lakes just on your doorstep. We had our 9 month Grandson and a schnoodle and a fully service pitch. Couldn’t have been happier. This is great site if you are the relaxed type and just want to sit, chill, watch the kids and enjoy the free fire pits! If you want dogs tied up, straighteners, hairdryers and a child free quiet site. It’s not for you! We will definitely be back. X

Great 1 night stay

Another lovely chilled night, easy check in and lovely friendly owners. Can't wait for my next trip, thank you.

Great service and pleasant experience!

This location was great for us, splitting our journey from Kent to Scotland! The family that runs this site are fantastic and ever so helpful! The best thing is that this site is open all year round! Our experience was so good we already made a second booking for the return journey! Thank you for being a great caravan site and look forward to our next stay!

Cardewlees Winter Pod break - brilliant

Lovely Winter break with our puppy and 12 year old daughter. Fab location, not far from Carlisle. Stunning views. Excellent facilities in the pod and it was spotless. Toilets etc were very clean. Nice and easy booking from start to finish. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Winter break

Quick break to test out our motorhome. Cumbrian weather didn't disappoint. Friendly welcome upon arrival, will look to book again later in the year (when weather is kinder).

Thanks so much for the review 😃 I will get the sunshine ordered for next time ☀️

Very nice people and a great location

I was there in the snow storm and everybody was very helpful. Everything was frozen due to weather but still loads of fun.

Thanks for your review and for staying positive in the Great Cumbrian weather 😊 Hope to see you again soon 😊

Amazing little site

We have stayed here a few times and would definitely recommend and return, it’s brilliant for little ones to run around and be within sight at all time, brilliant for dogs and plenty to do locally and within a great distance from the lakes. The owners are very friendly and definitely go out of there way for customers, my boys loved being able to meet the lambs and having a lot of open space to enjoy away from any roads, only thing that would improve it would be a play area for children. But apart from that it’s a brilliant site and we would most definitely return.

Hidden gem

Hidden gem! This site is amazing! Right there at the top of my favourite places to stay! The owners are so friendly, approachable and are genuinely nice people. Family and pet friendly and the scenery is perfect. The pitches are spacious and the rates affordable. Every stay has been perfect! We adore this site, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to hire the onsite fire pit and their onsite logs!

A little Cambrian gem

Lovely little campsite situated just outside of Carlisle close to the village of Dalston, stunning views of the Lake District Fells. Family run campsite on a working farm who are very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble, we have stayed here a few times and plan to visit many more times.

Fantastic

We visited this little site back in 2017 by accident and we have returned year after year (except pandemic)! What a lovely, fun site. Lots to explore locally. The owners are lovely, helpful and sociable but not overwhelming, like some sites we have visited. We loved the hire of fire pits, other families participating in games on the grass with us, and the owners had an amazing party which we were all invited to. The washrooms are clean and fresh and the views are amazing. I am going to stop now as I could go on and on! Visit and you won't be disappointed.

Birthday holiday

Stayed for my birthday weekend as I prefer little campsites to the big ones, due to the fact that the owners look after their guests and treat them like family. Would definitely recommend the campsite as I consider this campsite as the best in Cumbria.

Excellent and friendly

Becky was super friendly. The site is clean and quiet and in a great location for Carlisle or North Lake District. The facilities are super clean and the pod was really comfortable with beautiful views. We have camped and stayed in the pods and I can highly recommend, especially for the incredible price.

Fabulous from start to finish

We stayed at Cardewlees to avoid bonfire night with our four dogs. It was such a lovely small site, Becks and her family are so welcoming. The Facebook group is absolutely brilliant and so interactive. You can find great recommendations of places to go, things to see, or amazing places to eat. The toilets and showers are so clean and the site itself was immaculate. Gutted we didn't get to meet Moodini! 😂 Can't wait to come back for Easter.

Summer camping trip

Cardewlees is a lovely clean site with great views. The toilet and showers are lovely and clean. Cardewlees is a homely and personal campsite, they can't do enough for you when visiting. We ran out of fire wood one night, so we called up and they brought us some wood to the tent. Can't wait to visit again soon and stay in a pod, they look amazing.

Best little campsite in Cumbria!

Best little campsite in Cumbria. Would definitely recommend the campsite, fantastic owner.

Brilliant little site

We had the most wonderful break at this fabulous little site. The owners could not have been more helpful and kind. The facilities were always spotless even when site was full at weekends. Plenty of hot water for the showers. We can’t wait to return in the summer.

A real family feel

Really can't rate Becks and the rest of the family that help make Cardewlees what it is. We initially booked for a previous weekend but had car trouble on the way up, Becks immediately rebooked us for another weekend. The site is a working farm so it has amazing views and the toilet and shower areas were impeccably clean, we would highly recommend a visit!

Stunning views

We stayed here last minute and the site owners were very accommodating and welcoming. The pods are fantastic with their own enclosed gardens, so it was great with us having 2 dogs. The views from the site are absolutely stunning over the to the Fells. Facilities were spotlessly clean and well maintained. You feel a million miles away but have quick access to the motorway and the lakes with a lovely little village a short walk away. All in all a great place to stay.
