About The Quiet Site
The Quiet Site has been welcoming visitors to the Lake District for more than 50 years. This award winning park is situated in an idyllic setting overlooking Ullswater yet is only 15 minutes from the M6. There are hardstanding pitches to suit caravans and motorhomes, on tarmac, stone or gravel. There are two fields, close to services and offering great views from their top end. Tent campers are welcome too, in surrounds that feel Alpine, with great views. All tent pitches have 6-Amp electric hook-ups. If your tent is larger than 8 metres please book two pitches. The Glamping Burrows comprises 15 spacious underground living spaces each with a WC, soft sleep ledge, large covered patio areas and a fantastic view of Ullswater. These insulated spaces can hold up to 2 adults and 4 children, and take the tent hassle out of your camping! Dogs are welcome in some of the burrows. The site also has a range of pods, a stylish glamping pod cabin for two (ensuite) and bell tents. Pods are fantastic protection from the elements with a secluded decking area and heaters, lighting and charging points etc. included. They sleep up to 2 adults and 2 children. Some pods accept dogs, so please request these when booking. The bell tents suit a family of 6 and offer a plug socket for lights and charging devices. They do not accept dogs but provide the ease and comfort of not having to bring a tent!

The circular walk from The Quiet Site to Aira Force waterfalls is a must-do when visiting.
You will be staying right on the famous Ullswater Way that circumnavigates the lake. Take a fabulous ride on the Ullswater Steamers or if you'd like to go out in a boat or canoe of your own, Glenridding Sailing Centre has you covered.
The historic Lowther Castle is also just 20 minutes drive, so it makes a great day out for families. Alternatively, wander the majesty of Dalemain House which hosts an enormous marmalade festival every year.
Fishing is available on Ullswater, provided you have a licence, or there's the chance to see more on land with pony treks around the Lakes.
