About Captain's House Campervans
Captain's House Campervans is a charming family-run smallholding located in Bootle, the southern tip of the picturesque Lake District National Park. Guests can spend their days on the beach (direct access from the site), meeting the small flock of Shetland sheep, and experiencing stunning west coast sunsets and clear night skies. The campsite is also an excellent spot for those looking to explore the national park, with Wastwater, England's deepest lake, and Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, only a short 30-minute drive away. There are five hardstanding pitches available for self-contained campervans and motorhomes, all of which have been landscaped to offer partial protection from the coastal winds. Each bay features a 10 amp electric hook-up and access to fresh and cleaning water. Please note that there are no toilet or shower facilities. Campfires are allowed, and dogs are welcome. However, guests should keep in mind that there are grazing sheep on the property, so it's important to keep their dogs on a lead.
Captain's House Campervans is open from 01/07 to 31/12.
Do note there are no toilets or showers on site, so units must be self-contained. There is fresh water and waste disposal available.
The closest pub is the Brown Cow in Waberthwaite, just a ten minute drive away. A 20-minute drive takes you to Millom, where you will find a Tesco Superstore and several other pubs and restaurants.

Booked for 2 nights for some time to explore the local area and relax. From the minute we arrived we were made to feel like they had known us all their lives. Perfect hosts. Great knowledge of local area and definitely predicts the weather almost to the second it will rain next. A quiet little spot to listen to the sea. Feel the elements when they arrive (wind). So nice to just listen to nature and relax. The owner's dogs are so friendly, we had lovely greeting every day. As we said to the owner we won't be telling anyone about the place because we need to keep a space for ourselves when we next visit. There will be a next time. So close to the beach...lovely views...peaceful. What is not to love...thanks for the stay.

Luke was very friendly and informative when we arrived, telling us about some of the local sites and attractions. The location is a 2 minute walk from the beach, which was exactly what we were after, as the doggo loves the sand. There was very limited phone signal which, again, was perfect for us as it allowed us to disconnect for a while by reducing screen time and the craziness that is the Internet.
