  • Off-grid camping pods in a rural spot with gorgeous Solway Firth views
  • Five minutes’ drive to North Lakeland fells; 30 minutes to Keswick
  • Well-equipped pods with stoves; shared spa hot tub and LPG showers
On the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park, Cherry Trees Farm Campsite offers a couple of wooden camping pods with spectacular views over the Solway coast and the North Lakeland fells. This is a fab base for anyone wanting to explore the peaceful and beautiful county of Cumbria on foot or by bike. Surprisingly, considering its remote vibe, Cherry Trees is only 15 minutes’ drive from the M6, and the historic villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket (both 10 minutes) are packed with pubs and village stores to keep you fed and watered. Although the location is very rural, there’s masses and masses to do hereabouts, from walking the fells to wild swimming on the Solway Firth (35 minutes), horse riding and golf. If you want to up the pace, there are ziplines at Honister Slate Mine (50 minutes), and if the weather turns, sporty types can stay active at swimming pools and leisure centres (both 20 minutes). Back at base, the natty wooden pods are sited on the edge of a traditional hay meadow, and each is fully equipped to sleep two people – all bedding, towels, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are provided so you don't have to bother bringing everything from home. Facilities include your own LPG-fired shower and compostable loo, a small kitchen area with a gas stove and a sink with hot and cold running water. On top of that, a major-league bonus is the use of a private hot tub included in the price of each pod – there's no better way to relax after a day out on the fells.

Camping pod

Liked: Absolutely fantastic set up. Stayed in one of the pods with my friend and we had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Owner was fantastic - provided extra things we had forgotten and was always on hand if we needed anything. Fire pit was a nice touch which you can purchase on site. Facilities were clean and efficient. We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet and stunning views also over the fields. Would definitely come again!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: View is great and site is a good size. Plenty of room to spread out without getting in anyone's way. Being able to have a fire was also a bonus. Alan, the owner, was always there if needed.

Disliked: The site is remote, right in the middle of Wigton and Penrith.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Stayed 2 nights, such a beautiful area to stay in, plenty of walks, cute little pub down the road called The Old Crown. The campsite itself was lovely, full of flowers and plenty of space for tent and car. Alan the owner was very friendly and helpful. Showers and toilet were great as well with lovely hot water, drink station and place to wash all your things and area for rubbish and recycling. Definitely would come back again!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Myself, my partner and our 8 week old belgium malinois puppy had a fantastic stay on this campsite. Loads of space and freedom for our puppy to run around. Owner was very approachable, friendly and helpful (he helped us out massively on more than one occasion and his dog is awsome and friendly too.) All facilities needed ie showers, toilets, hot water was spot on. Nothing more needed on a campsite when camping (apart from wellies when it's been raining so much so you don't get bogged down 😂😂 but it all adds to the adventure and memories.) Located in a beautiful spot. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Disliked: None what so ever.
