1/5

Oak Head Caravan Park is located immediately between the Cartmel peninsula and the southern tip of Lake Windermere. It offers a quiet, attractive and secluded setting, yet is within only twenty minutes drive of some of the finest sights of English Lakeland. The park occupies a well tended, uncrowded and wooded site set amidst picturesque fells. With recently modernised facilities including toilets, hot showers and changing rooms we can assure you of a pleasant stay with us. If you're looking to watch some telly whilst your here, be warned that a TV signal is best obtained via a Sky dish or digital aerial (not supplied by the site). We have hard standing touring caravan pitches all with electric hook-up (£20 per night) and grassed tent pitches (£18 per night), some with electric hook-up (£20 per night). Back-packers and cyclists are welcome in a 1 man tent for £10 per night (without electric).

Local attractions

There is a wide selection of cafes and restaurants within three miles of the park and also a butcher's shop within one mile. The local garage is only a mile away and has a very well stocked shop. Fell Foot Park, two miles away on Lake Windermere offers boating and fishing. From Fell Foot you can take the ferry to Lakeside and from there board the boat to Bowness where you can visit the many shops and restaurants it has to offer, or visit the Beatrix Potter museum. Four miles away is the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway and the Lakeland Motor museum. South Lakes Wild Animal Park at Dalton is just a 20 minute drive away. The Edwardian town of Grange over Sands is well worth a visit as is the old village of Cartmel with its fine priory and famous unique racecourse. Nearby Holker Hall is a stately home of note and the market town of Ulverston has many interesting shops. The Cumbria Cycle Way passes the Park with easy access from the Park. Also nearby are golfing, horse riding, canoeing and sailing facilities.
