About the site
The park enjoys a fantastic location for exploring The Lake District, less than ten minutes from the top of Lake Windermere. The site is also surrounded by woodlands, with over 100 acres of walking trails to explore, along with a nature hide and a four acre recreation ground. For trailer tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes, there are 130 hardstanding 6m x 8m pitches with optional 16 amp electric hook up. Or, you can upgrade to one of the 30 premium hardstanding 9m x 12m pitches with water, grey waste drainage, optional 16 amp electric, TV hook up and picnic bench, plus access to eco dishwashers (one token per night). Glamping options include a cosy ensuite hideaway pod with a double sofa bed, kitchen, TV and outdoor deck. Families can opt for a larger pod sleeping six, with two doubles and a kids' mezzanine. Safari tents include a super king, bunks, kitchen, ensuite and deck, or a romantic two-person tent with a queen bed, kitchen, smart TV, heating and hot tub. There is a large, well-stocked shop featuring everyday essentials as well as lots of locally sourced produce and gifts. Kids can spend hours at the play area, with a 30m long zip wire, an all weather basketball/football court, climbing frames and swings. Dogs are also welcome, with up to three permitted per pitch. The surrounding routes are perfect for exploring, with a dog shower for muddy paws afterwards! In the evening, you can cook up a BBQ, just please ensure they are raised from the ground, and not placed on a bench or decking area. Please note, open fires and wood burning BBQs are not allowed.
