Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Amazing space unlimited for pitches pretty flat too! Beautiful views of the hills when the cloud lifted. Good value for money, TV signal good, 5g good. Nice Simple as expected for price, just drinking water and Elsan point no other facilities. Like wild camping in the van without the worry of moved on.

Disliked: Nothing really.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Loved this place. Peaceful, beautiful scenery, just the perfect escape to get away from it all. Near enough to the pub for food and your only neighbours are sheep. Felt remote but still had phone/tv signal in our motorhome. Perfect too if you play golf

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely peaceful location. Best night’s sleep. Clearly advertised as basic facilities with just an elsan point, drinking water and bin but price reflected this and was worth it to stay in legit area where despite being a bit remote, we felt safe.

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We visited for the entirety of the August back holiday weekend. We loved the peaceful and beautiful surroundings, it was idyllic. You get an outstanding view of the Lake District mountains. Sheep surround the caravans and you don’t really notice the golf course because your eye is drawn to the beautiful landscape of the Lake District. The access to the Lake District was excellent, despite the distance due to extremely good A-roads. It was quicker to travel in to certain parts of the lakes from this site than if we’d stayed in the lakes. The field is obviously full of sheep poo and the sheep did wake us up one morning rubbing against the caravan but they quickly scattered when I opened the door. There is a clean water tap, Great water tap, and a place to deposit your chemical toilet and get water and nothing else. This is made really clear so that was fine with us. The last two benefits are you can check in and check out at anytime so there is no rush, and there is one hard standing pitch!

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Fantastic all round views, peace and quiet. Sheep and golfers for company. Walks from pitch. Able to park on hardstanding. Plenty of room, can choose where to pitch. Excellent value. All the facilities you need in a self contained van ie. water, waste and bin. Close to the town of Appleby for supplies, good range of independent shops and interesting buildings and castle

Local attractions

Where to head first? With both the Lake District National Park (25 minutes’ drive) and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (15 minutes) so close, you’ll have plenty of options. Go west to Ullswater (40 minutes) for cruises on a steamer, or turn north to tour historic Killhope Lead Mining Museum (an hour) and drive the spectacular Hardside Pass (40 minutes). And if you’d rather discover Cumbria under your own steam, there are cycling routes and hiking trails across the region, with options including the challenging Pennine Way (half an hour) and the Coast to Coast Walk (20 minutes) and the Cumbria Cycle Way (50 minutes). For gentler pastimes combined with a dose of history, have a nose around the crumbling ruins of Lowther Castle and Gardens (half an hour), take a picnic to Penrith Castle (25 minutes) on a sunny day, or check out the landscaped gardens and working watermill at Acorn Bank (20 minutes).
