Dalebottom Farm is a friendly, family run campsite, offering stunning camping and touring pitches set in the phenomenal Lake District. Only a couple of miles south of Keswick, this is a central base for a host of activities such as walking, running, cycling, golf, open water swimming and fishing. Views across to nearby Helvellyn, Blencathra and Skiddaw are breathtaking.
The Kitching family are now in their fourth generation running Dalebottom Farm and have a great deal of knowledge about the fells and mountains around the area, so they're always happy to guide guests. Families, couples and campers doing the Bob Graham Round or Duke of Edinburgh awards are always welcome. There are grass pitches and hardstandings with electric hook ups available for tourers, motorhomes and camping. The farm's static caravans are on the same site as tourers and camping. This has proven popular when some in the family are looking to camp, but others are keen to stay close to their creature comforts.
Open from 1 March to 1 November
A large field where you can choose your own space for camping, with EHUs available.

Unfortunately Dalebottom Farm Caravan & Camping Park doesn't share their availability calendar with us yet. Availability changes quickly, especially in summer, so we recommend enquiring by phone to avoid missing out.
BBQs and fire pits are only allowed off the ground, no open fires.
There are plenty of activities to keep you going in the area, but one of the most popular has to be walking in the fells. There are routes round the Lake District that are absolutely stunning, and once you've had a good explore, you can take things further with golf and fishing.
There is a fabulous climbing wall nearby for those who like a challenge, or you can try fell running with the Bob Graham Round.
If that sounds a tad too strenuous, there are some picturesque, easier walks straight from the campsite, such as the route to High Rigg with magnificent views of the Naddle Valley and St John's in the Vale, with perhaps a visit to the peaceful St John's in the Vale Church too.
You can also walk to the atmospheric Castlerigg Stone Circle and both Thirlmere and Derwentwater are in reach.
