About Near Howe Certificated Location
The site is a certificated location with the Motor Caravanners Club and welcomes small sized VW-type campervans on five well maintained grass pitches. Please note, campervans must be no longer than 6m in length due to the site's location and access track. The Lake District setting here is an idyllic starting point for outdoor adventures, with a number of footpaths nearby and a short distance to the stunning Aira Force waterfall. Non-campers in your party might prefer to stay in one of the site's seven self-catering cottages, sleeping from two to seven people. Dogs and non-members also welcome.
Near Howe Certificated Location is open from 29/03 to 13/10.
The facilities include fresh water, grey waste water disposal, chemical waste disposal for those using green chemicals and rubbish disposal. There is a newly fitted shower room (including toilet, shower and wash basin), a sink for washing-up, as well as a laundry room (shared with the seven self-catering cottages).

Directions from site were clear and precise. Though the long track was a bit of a struggle in places, it was all well worth it. The pitches are in a great location, wonderful views and very peaceful. The only downside for campervans is that there is just the one toilet and shower (both in the same room). However, the facilities were first rate. Would be more than happy to recommend the site for campervans.
Amazing location

We had a lovely stay at Near Howe. Amazing location if your looking for a halfway point for heading further north, 10 mins off the M6. The facilities were spot on, our dog was allowed off the lead, which he loved. Brilliant for a base camp to go and explore the Lakes. There is a pub just down the road, walkable distance. We will definitely be using this campsite in the future. Many thanks.
Overall fantastic!
