About the site

A peaceful site ideally placed next door to the Maryport Marina, Harbour Side Caravan Site enjoys stunning coastal scenery all around. Behind the site is the Lake District National Park 25 minutes away, with Skiddaw being reachable by a 40 minute drive. This idyllic, small caravan site has only 28 electric hardstanding pitches, suitable for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. There is a mix of grass and gravel pitches, each of these pitches measures 3m x 8m and has a water supply nearby. Or, if you're after something a little different, there's the option of three cosy camping pods. Each pod sleeps three people, two adults and one child. Please note, that bedding is not provided with the camping pods. Inside the pods, there is a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and crockery for all of your self catering needs. Outside there is a picnic bench to enjoy some alfresco dining. There's no shortage of things to do in the historic town of Maryport and all are within easy walking distance. Spend your days visiting top attractions close by, such as a Roman museum, a maritime museum and an aquarium all just a 20 minute walk from the site. The stunning Lake District National Park is only a 25 minute drive away too!

Harbour Side Caravan Site is open all year round in 2025 and 2026. Pitches from £30/night for 2 people.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesOct 2025

First couple of nights were fine but after that, noisy residents on their boats at stupid hours and hooligans driving their car down the marina, revving and doing wheel spins every night. Reported it to the staff on numerous occasions and nothing done. Left 11 days early from our trip.

Lovely quiet location

A lovely scenic site on a working harbour with local pubs for food. Friendly staff and a café on site serving delicious food, drink and ice cream. We had a lovely walk to the lighthouse and along the coast with the dogs.
