About Sizergh Caravan and Camping

Situated in the heart of the calm Cumbrian countryside on the edge of the Lake District National Park, this family run site and working farm offers a warm welcome to campers. Start your day with a hearty breakfast from the onsite farm cafe, fueling you for a day of exploring your beautiful surroundings. For those travelling with a small two man tent of up to 2m x 3m, there are two smaller grass pitches available allowing up to four guests. There are also a further four pitches for tents up to 6m x 6m and up to five guests, along with four larger pitches for tents up to 8.5m x 8.5m and up to six people. All grass pitches come with an optional electric hook up with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet. For transporting your equipment to your pitch, the site also provides wheelbarrows. If you are coming in your caravan, campervan or motorhome, the site has seven fully serviced pitches suitable for tourers up to 7.5m long. These pitches are around 10m x 6m, each served with an electric and water hook up, along with a grey waste disposal point. For glampers, the cosy wooden camping pod onsite provides a luxurious alternative to everyday camping. The pod is fully insulated and comes with a set of bunk beds and a sofa which converts into a double bed. There is also an outdoor decking area, along with a sink, kettle, fridge and microwave, cutlery and crockery for self catering. Guests will need to bring their own bedding and towels. Stop off and say hello to the animals occupying the farm, and enjoy watching the cows being milked from the onsite café daily. There is even a fresh milk vending machine so you can enjoy some with your morning coffee or cereal! The site also allows BBQs, so make sure to stop off at the onsite farm shop and pick up all of the ingredients for your dinner. Open fires and fire pits are not permitted. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead and please keep your pooch under control when around livestock. There is also a maximum of one dog per group.

The hardstanding pitches and pods are open from March to December. The large and medium grass pitches are open from Easter and the small grass pitches from May.

A note from the site themselves...

We work to create wildlife habitats to benefit both the surrounding environment and our wonderful produce and crops. We have many miles of hedgerow for example, which are managed to keep the cows and sheep in the fields, but also to provide homes for birds, bats and beetles that thank us for our hospitality by feeding on the pests that damage our crops.

We use clover leys to provide nitrogen for grass growth and employ methods such as crop rotation to help with weed control and build soil fertility. Recycled wastes like compost and farmyard manures also enrich the soil and encourage growth, all in all, helping us to protect our surroundings.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesSep 2024

What a great little site on a working dairy farm. Really good onsite facilities. Unisex shower/ toilet block may not work for some, but we have no problem with this. Spotlessly clean, 3 showers and toilets. Showers excellent with dual heads. Small drying room available, handy for walkers. Farm shop and café onsite, had one meal in the café, very nice - the milkshakes are excellent. Small site but great location, close to National Trust Sizergh Castle, and plenty of local walks and a short drive to Kendal. Would definitely go back. Judith (owner) was very helpful and friendly.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2024

Staying on this site was great. It doesn't have playground, pool, club but that was exactly what we were looking for, just an escape. It does have a fantastic shop with gifts, food, booze and there's a lovely cafe above for breakfast, kids can take a walk along a fairy finding walk, There's cow milking every day, a large veg growing area that you can just wander through, fantastic views and a lovely pub a short walk away. Sizergh Hall is just a 10 minute walk away and Kendal a very short drive. We loved it, but one small complaint that can't be helped is that the sound of the A591 is never far away. We will be back for another chill time very soon.

Large Tent - Large Grass Camping Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

Campsite facilities were spotless. Only downside is depending on your pitch, your car is not near your tent, so a bit of a pain to unload and pack up, but is the only negative we have. Great coffee van and café on site which was nice to have if needed.
