Liked: A small, basic field campsite with use of the toilets and showers at the outdoor pool 2 minutes walk away. These were kept sparkling clean! The pitches even had electrical hook up so what more was needed? There’s no wifi but I had a reasonable phone signal considering the rural location. I went there specifically to use the pool but the campsite didn’t disappoint. The campsite itself is unmanned but plenty of lovely & friendly volunteers working at the pool.

Disliked: The vehicle access gate was supposed to be locked at night for our security but it wasn’t.

Liked: It was our 5th visit back at Lazonby Campsite. Sadly, had a few issues and confusions this time but still hoping to return. Facilities were clean. The pitches were taken care of. We felt secure during the night. Lovely town in a lovely spot.

Disliked: The website and volunteers in the past have always made well clear that the site has toilet/shower blocks for campers. The website does not say that campers do not have use of those during school hours when private bookings have been taken. As a family that includes people with disabilities - this was really disappointing. The teachers with the private booking from Armathwaite School were awful people with absolutely disgusting behaviour infront of children. The volunteers DID try to help as best they could. It would be absolutely perfect if there was toilet facilities closer to the camping pitches and maybe had the area upgraded with mobile phone signal.

Liked: The site was really clean and the volunteer staff were friendly and efficient. The facilities were clean. I really enjoyed our stay here and will be returning. The river Eden is fast flowing and beautiful and literally next to the campsite. The park and swimming made it one of the kids new favourite places to camp. It's about a 15min drive to Penrith which has a castle and lovely shops. The site is very small which I liked. There is a drinking water tap on the field.

Disliked: It is a small walk to the toilets along a dark path but we got used to it quickly.

Local attractions

Lazonby is one of the stations on the very highly scenic Settle-Carlisle Railway line, a fave of famed travel scribe Bill Bryson and a must when in this part of the land. If you only have time for one journey on it, make it south to Settle rather than north to Carlisle, to pass over the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct; have the smartphones at the ready to snap a pic. The local area is rammed with riverside and woodland walks, with loads more to be had in the Lake District 15 miles away, and is popular with cyclists as it's about four miles from the C2C/Sea to Sea cycle route. Plenty of quiet country roads abound with views over the River Eden and surrounding area and to the Pennines if you're getting about by car. Penrith is eight miles from Lazonby Campsite and has lots of shops, supermarkets and services; travel there also for Penrith Castle, a climbing wall, cracking views across the Eden Valley from Beacon Hill and, happily, yet more Cumbrian pubs. And might you fancy a pub meal local to Lazonby? The Crown Inn, the Fetherston Arms and the Highland Drove are all recommended inns with food in the nearby villages of Kirkoswald and Great Salkeld.
