The Old Post Office Campsite Reviews

The Old Post Office Campsite is a peaceful, family-run campsite on the western fringe of the Lake District by the River Irt. Tents and tourers are welcome, with a range of grass and hardstanding pitches (many with waterside views). Guests can enjoy onsite fishing and wild swimming, with a pub just across the bridge. For days out, it is only a ten minute drive to Wast Water, Wasdale and Drigg Beach, with Scafell Pike 20 minutes away!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass PitchesMay 2026

The camp site is a really great little site, tucked away in a fantastic part of the lakes. Really quiet site, nicely laid out and easily accessible from all directions. Lovely with the river running around the site 24/7! Will definitely be coming back!

Friendly and fabulous little campsite

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Touring PitchesMay 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Post Office Campsite, we arrived to a friendly welcome from staff who were great throughout our stay. Toilets, showers (50p) and laundry room were modern and kept immaculate at all times. Free WiFi was a bonus! Pub with fabulous food just a few minutes walk.. river running through the site kept our children entertained in the extremely hot weather!

Lovely site

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass PitchesApr 2026

Fab little campsite. Great location for Scarfell and Wastwater. Staff are helpful and friendly. Decent pub just across the road and two cafes nearby. The beach is less than 20 mins drive away. Pitches are level with hookup etc. we had a pitch backing onto the river which was nice. Picnic table with each pitch.
