About Captain's House Campervans
Captain's House Campervans is a charming family-run smallholding located in Bootle, the southern tip of the picturesque Lake District National Park. Guests can spend their days on the beach (direct access from the site), meeting the small flock of Shetland sheep, and experiencing stunning west coast sunsets and clear night skies. The campsite is also an excellent spot for those looking to explore the national park, with Wastwater, England's deepest lake, and Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, only a short 30-minute drive away. There are five hardstanding pitches available for self-contained campervans and motorhomes, all of which have been landscaped to offer partial protection from the coastal winds. Each bay features a 10 amp electric hook-up and access to fresh and cleaning water. Please note that there are no toilet or shower facilities. Campfires are allowed, and dogs are welcome. However, guests should keep in mind that there are grazing sheep on the property, so it's important to keep their dogs on a lead.
Captain's House Campervans is open from 01/07 to 31/12 in 2024 and all year round in 2025.
Do note there are no toilets or showers on site, so units must be self-contained. There is fresh water and waste disposal available.
The closest pub is the Brown Cow in Waberthwaite, just a ten minute drive away. A 20-minute drive takes you to Millom, where you will find a Tesco Superstore and several other pubs and restaurants.

I had a lovely weekend, just what I wanted. Right next to the beach for good long walks. The owners were really nice and friendly, they were helpful too. No pubs or shops nearby, I knew that beforehand and didn't feature in my weekend. I will be back when I next need a quiet weekend.

Looked for somewhere peaceful and on the beach. Captains House Campervans fitted the bill perfectly. 1 minutes walk to the beach, sea views from all the pitches, surrounded by farmland, sheep and a dairy herd. Hosts very friendly and a fantastic location. Dog loved it on the beach and I loved cooking over my campfire, raised firepit worked great in the sheltered bays.
