About Church Stile Farm and Holiday Park

Set in an idyllic oak woodland setting on a traditional Lakeland sheep farm, enjoy the peace of this unspoilt valley and striking views of the mountains. Plus, it's only five miles from Wasdale Head, the base for climbing Scafell Pike and a mile from picturesque Wastewater. You'll find spacious pitches for tents here, along with a selection of electric hook-up pitches with excellent facilities. Electric pitches go fast, so do pre-book to avoid disappointment. There are also ten hardstanding pitches for motorhomes and campervans, with and without electric. For those looking to go hassle-free, glamping options are available too. The cosy shepherd's huts sleep two, and sleek camping pods sleep four. The site is also home to a play area with swings and a climbing frame, and a grass area for ball games to keep the kids entertained. Run out of food? There's a well-stocked farm shop onsite for everything you need in a pinch and there are two country inns just a two minute walk away. There's also WiFi access available at reception, should you need it. Dogs are welcome (up to a max of two per pitch) but must be kept on a lead.

The site is open for bookings from the 27th March until the 14th October, with the exception of the Shepherd's Hut which is available from 29th March.

If you fancy the seaside, it's only a 10 minute drive to Seascale Beach from Church Stile, which has a new play park and ice cream parlour that'll keep beachgoers happy.

Nearby Wastwater Lake is ideal for kayaking, canoeing and rowing in a breath-taking landscape. Grab a picnic and relax by the water, or take a dip in one of the designated safe areas.
