Why you'll love it at Castlerigg Farm Camping and Caravan Site
About the site
Revelling in its great views, the site looks out majestically over a range of mountains and the beautiful neighbouring bodies of water. The scenic setting makes it ideal for couples or families looking to explore. Away from the noise of roads it's just five minutes in the car to get to Keswick and 16 miles to the M6, in case you want to venture further afield. And yet, there's no traffic or honking of engines here. Camping is in large, fairly level grass spaces. Electric pitches for tents are available and should be booked in advance. You'll be able to park beside your tent (hardstanding parking is available in winter). Please note camping without electric is on a first come first serve basis and may not be pre-booked. For tourers, there are panoramic views from a set of hardstanding pitches which also offer electric.

Site rules and policies
We like to promote the site as family-friendly so we do not take group bookings and have a 'no noise after 10:30' rule so that everyone can enjoy a quiet nights sleep.
We understand the 'No noise after 10.30' rule is not suitable for everyone and if this is the case for you let us know what your looking for and we will help you find a site to fit your requirements.
Reservations can be made for Caravans, Motorhome and Camper Vans with or without electricity. Reservations can also be made for tents requiring electricity.
Apologies, no bookings are taken for non electric tent pitches, these are first come - first served only.
We do not accept groups on site.
