About Burns Farm Caravan, Campsite and Glamping

This idyllic site is on a traditional working farm, tucked just a mile from the village of Threlkeld and three miles from well known Keswick There are 30 spacious hardstanding fully serviced touring pitches with grey water disposal, water and electric hook-up. Here, pitches are very flat and well drained offering 5m x 12m hardstanding fully serviced pitches which are separated from each other by a 3m x 12m grass seating area. The three camping fields offer gorgeous mountain views of Blencathra, Skiddaw, Helvellyn Range, Causey Pike and other beautiful mountains. The 360 degree views are really something to be seen. You're welcome to park next to your pitch and light up a fire pit in the camping fields, the perfect way to keep toasty and stargaze from your pitch at night. Especially as this is a Dark Sky site, with only low watt lighting in use so that you can enjoy excellent stargazing. There are also five luxury family camping bell tents which are fully dressed and ready to enjoy a cosy weekend away. Luxury cabins with mountain views and private hot tubs are also available. You're welcome to bring your pooch along with you, though one of the camping fields does not allow dogs.

Open all year round for the luxury cabins

A note from the site themselves...

Burns Farm is almost 90 years old; it is among one of the oldest working farm sites in the Lake District. Bought back in 1936 by Arthur Lamb it is now managed by the 3rd and 4th generation of the Lamb Family.

Since 2018 Burns Farm has been transformed from a traditional Lakeland Farm Caravan Site into an award-winning Caravan, Camping and Glamping Site with five-star bespoke accommodation with hot tubs, modern amenities, family bell tents, fully serviced caravan pitches and allocated camping nonelectric pitches.

We are opening a shop mid summer to sell local products.
