About The Larches Caravan Park
Situated between the stunning landscapes of the Lake District and the beautiful beaches of the Solway Coast, this is an ideal spot to enjoy the outdoors. Being adult only, you can enjoy peace and quiet as you sit back and soak in the wonderful countryside views. All the pitches are fully serviced with water, waste and 16 amp electric. There are 15 grass pitches for both tents and tourers, along with 15 hardstanding pitches for tourers only. Each pitch allows up to just two guests to ensure the park is never too crowded. You also don't need to worry about sharing facilities as each pitch comes with its own dedicated wetroom. Each includes a toilet, a basin and a shower so you can enjoy a relaxed morning routine without having to worry about a queue! There are also ten holiday homes on offer, each fully furnished and with central heating. The park is home to a host of natural creatures, so be on the alert for elusive red squirrels, swooping buzzards and plenty of other birds and wildlife waiting to meet you. Dogs can also join you onsite, with up to two allowed per pitch.
The Larches Caravan Park is open from 01/03 to 30/10.
Site facilities include a tiled block with suites that offer a shower, toilet with a hair dryer and even a vanity unit. There is a dog walking area on site and disabled facilities too. An on-site caravan accessories and supplies shop is provided for guests.
There is a Co-op Food just ten minutes from the site and the Greyhound Inn is just five minutes away.

We just got back from a 5 night stay. Judith and Chris greeted us upon arrival and gave us a very warm welcome and showed us to our pitch. Such lovely people and perfect hosts. The park is superb and set in beautiful, quiet and spacious surroundings. We had a huge perfectly kept pitch, with lots of space between other guests and all services within easy reach. The toilet and shower facilities are the best we've had. All guests are given their own wet room with a lovely high pressure hot shower. This was amazing to come back to in the evenings after long days hiking in the lakes. The location is also perfect for us, just a few miles from the lakes and within easy reach of the coast and the borders. We can't really say enough good things to be honest and absolutely nothing to grumble about. Will definitely be going back.
Lovely experience

We were met on arrival and given a choice of pitches and were also shown our own dedicated shower/toilet/washroom. If you're looking for a very quiet calm and peaceful site with large spread out pitches, this is the site for you!! The facilities may not be the most modern but they are exceptionally clean. I would not hesitate to stay at this site in the future.

Carlisle (30 minutes) itself is brimming with history and Cockermouth (15 minutes) offers a chance to potter around Wordsworth's childhood home and then try a tour and a tipple at The Castle Brewery.
