About Drybeck Farm
This riverside camping and glamping site is less than a half-hour from Carlisle - but the true attraction comes from the surrounding nature. You can enjoy a refreshing wild swim in the River Eden, but if you'd rather stay dry, the Lake District is home to many stunning walks. Only ten camping pitches are set in the farm's beautiful meadow, just a few yards from the river with plenty of space for the kids to play! Each comes with your own fire pit for the evening campfire with eco-friendly facilities nearby. There are a feast of quirky glamping options, ranging from cosy and beautifully furnished glamping cabins to authentic gypsy caravans. Each glamping accommodation sleeps three-four, has a fully equipped kitchen (indoor or outdoor), and even a private wood-fired hot tub to soak in. Glampers also have their own private compost loo and hot shower. The Wigloo and The Lantern House are unique wooden cabins, taking a twist on traditional pods. Described as a yurt with a skylight, they are light and airy with ample insulation. Giving the nod to the local Cumbrian farming heritage, choose from the two shepherds wagons, The Herdwick and The Swaledale. The Croglin Yurt is a toasty haven for glampers, packed with vintage and upcycled details to ensure you enjoy a glam break. For a more romantic retreat for two, opt for Evelyn, the gypsy caravan that sits right on the banks of the river in a very private space. You might even catch a glimpse of the elusive otter when unwinding in the wood-fired outdoor Japanese bath hot tub! Well behaved dogs are welcome.
Camping is available from 1st April to 30th September. Glamping is available from February until the end of November.
For campers, facilities are eco-friendly with shared compost toilets, a hot shower, a washing up area, drinking water tap and chemical waste.
Just over a mile away in the village, there are two pubs serving food and the village also includes shops, newsagents and an off licence.

Absolutely loved our stay in the Croglin Yurt. As a family of 4, the yurt had loads of space for us all, we took an air bed for our 12 year old to sleep on, the king size bed was so comfy and the 9 year old slept on the futon. The hot tub went down an absolute treat and the wood burner in the yurt made it toasty warm. Steve, the owner, was extremely helpful but left us alone, so not overbearing but was there if we needed him! Having a band in the barn bar on Saturday night made our stay even better, it was a great night. The shower was great, warm and loads of space to get changed in there. We chilled out, went for walks, played board games and messed about on the river. Such a fantastic place to stay.

Stayed here for my birthday trip, went paddleboarding on the river just outside our accommodation. Excellent facilities and unique accommodation. Very peaceful.
