Near Howe Certificated Location Reviews

Great campsite

Very quiet and no issues at all.

Excellent views

Our first night was perfect with lovely views and a BBQ. Almost wild camping but with a single shower block, but it was very clean and had a kitchen area for washing up. In October, only two campers so plenty of space. Bit of a steep climb but our camper was ideal for this! Amazing sunrise the next morning. Would definitely use again and recommend.

Great peaceful spot

We stayed for two nights at Near Howe and we loved how peaceful it was. Our dog loved the field. The facilities were modern and clean, everything was perfect (apart from one day of rain!) There is only one shower and loo, but we managed just fine. We hope to be back soon and would recommend to everyone. Thank you Fiona and team.

Excellent site.

Super site, quiet and stunning views, only 5 pitches so calm and serene. Well laid out pitches, well marked, all the facilities required.

Peaceful & perfect

Most spectacular views of the mountains. Quiet campsite with only a few others there. Great shower and other facilities, such as washing up sink, drinking water, recycling and& games. Washing machine and dryer also available but need £1 coins for both. Phone signal intermittent and the track to the campsite was rough. But overall, it was well worth the money and I'd definitely recommend to people!

Lovely clean site

Lovely clean shower and toilet room. Wonderful view from the van. Perfect for one night stay.

Near how stay

Absolutely fabulous campsite, stunning views and excellent facilities. We loved staying there. The driveway may be challenging for some but we didn't have a issue. We both loved it.

Beautiful, quiet site

Great shower, small site with wonderful views.

Overnight stop

Beautiful location, peaceful with great views. Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean.

Campsite with the most beautiful view

Fabulous view, peaceful place, I will definitely come back.

A rural gem

If you are after a quiet place to stop with everything you need - a great view, very tidy washing and shower facilities and a walk to a very good pub meal - then this is the right place for you. We were the only people in the campsite but I cannot imagine you will ever be crowded.

Blissful peace

Directions from site were clear and precise. Though the long track was a bit of a struggle in places, it was all well worth it. The pitches are in a great location, wonderful views and very peaceful. The only downside for campervans is that there is just the one toilet and shower (both in the same room). However, the facilities were first rate. Would be more than happy to recommend the site for campervans.

Amazing location

We had a lovely stay at Near Howe. Amazing location if your looking for a halfway point for heading further north, 10 mins off the M6. The facilities were spot on, our dog was allowed off the lead, which he loved. Brilliant for a base camp to go and explore the Lakes. There is a pub just down the road, walkable distance. We will definitely be using this campsite in the future. Many thanks.

Overall fantastic!

Set in an amazing location, fabulous facilities, a great spot. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

What a beautiful place

Beautiful place in a beautiful location. Only 5 pitches and beautiful views.

Near Howe stay

Firstly, the weather always helps. A great location for us away from the honeypot towns and villages. Great views and a breeze to keep the midges away. The access track is slightly steep at one point- it says so on the info. A couple of guests seemed surprised by this but it definitely states this on the website. My T5 LWB is useless when it comes to traction but was fine going up and down. 40 min walk to the pub across the fields might be a bit boggy in wet weather but the road is quiet. Facilities are new and clean, plenty of hot water. Our only issue as a family of four was access to the toilet/shower. No problem waiting for the single shower at all- not in a rush, however the toilet is in the same room and this was a little frustrating at times, especially when 5 vans were on site. This didn't spoil our stay but would be something to be improved for the camping experience. The owners were more than helpful with our needs during our stay. Many thanks.

Lovely little site

Really lovely little site with the most amazing views. Only 5 pitches, which is fine, although the toilet and shower are in the same room, which meant there was a bit of a queue if someone was using the shower. However, the facilities were clean. They did run out of toilet roll though and no one obvious to ask, but we had our own to share with the other campers.

Site's response

Many thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry to hear we ran out of toilet paper - it's only happened once as we check the facilities regularly. We live on site at reception so if you'd let us know, we would have been happy to provide some more.

Solo adventure

Absolutely amazing 3-night stay. Peaceful and beautiful. Slept like a log. Didn't want to leave .

Great views

5 pitches in a field with uninterrupted views of the hills. Perfect. The only issue is that there is one toilet and one shower.

Great views

Amazing place great views nice a peaceful.

Camping on a mountain

My daughter requested we camp on a mountain and that's what we got with Near Howe. It's a picturesque location at the top of a hill, overlooking a valley towards Mungrisdale off the A66, and is perfectly placed between Penrith and Keswick. We were met by the owner on arrival to welcome us, however I had received my pitch site in an information email when I booked. This email also included how to find them, which was very useful as the Sat Nav in our camper and the phones would not work.

This is a real hidden gem, idyllic

Will come back again many more times.

Gorgeous views

Beautiful little campsite perched high up with amazing views of Blencathra. The site was very clean and tidy. Just one shower/toilet room though, which you couldn't know was engaged or not until you got to the door. Other than that, a perfect site, thank you!

Amazing!

So secluded and the facilities were fantastic!! Lovely for dogs as room to run around and the view is absolutely stunning.
