About the site
This family run campsite is tucked into a quiet Cumbrian village and set beside the River Irt, with a selection of riverside pitches. Handy connections to a range of attractions too, with coastal Seascale and its beaches only a six mile drive away, and from there lots of good train connections to other towns. The Wasdale Valley (around five miles) is a gem for outdoor adventures and the challenge of Scafell Pike itself is only seven miles away. Pitches range from grassed spots with optional electric to your tent and a set of hardstanding pitches for tourers, either with electric or fully serviced with all the connections you need

Things to do on site and in the Holmrook area
Fishing in the river is possible, but be sure to bring your own equipment with you.
Explore the fells safe in the knowledge that there are many good welcoming local pubs for you to retreat to. For those keen on porky pies, the 'Biggest Liar' competition is held every year at the nearby Bridge Inn and makes for a fun and unique event.
Many gorgeous places locally to try fun on the water (Wast Water), hiking and bike rides (Wasdale Valley) or even challenging ascents (Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Red Pike).
The national park also has a lot in store for adventure seekers, from hot air balloon rides at sunset to assault courses or even paragliding.
