Overview
Pitch on the shores of Lake Windermere and explore the southern Lakes from this site.
Braithwaite Fold campsite sits on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere in the heart of the beautiful Lake District and is a stone’s throw from the linked towns of Bowness and Windermere.
Our compact site has 66 level hardstanding with electric hook up pitches – and is well laid out. There are modern facilities including an undercover washing up area, laundry and disabled facilities. 3 grass pitches for tents only.
Pitch here and you won’t be short of things to do. For starters you can enjoy the many attractions of the lake right from the campsite. Enjoy a steam cruise or have a go at dinghy sailing, power boating or windsurfing. Meet Peter Rabbit and friends at the World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness on Windermere.
Catch the chain ferry to the western shore for the National Trust’s Claife Heights, ideal for walking and cycling, the pretty village of Hawkshead - home to Hill Top where Beatrix Potter once lived - and Grizedale Forest Park with its Go Ape high wire adventure area.
Fell Foot Park at the lake’s southern tip is perfect for picnics and paddling. Near here you’ll also find the Lakeside and Haverthwaite steam railway and the Lakes Aquarium.
We're sorry but this site can only accommodate one car per pitch at all times. Second vehicles will need to park in the pay and display next to the site.
Worth Noting
This site can only accommodate one car per pitch at all times. If you have more than one car or you are a visiting the camp site you will have to park your car in the pay and display next door to the site.

Always well maintained. Floral displays are kept immaculate by the wardens and add to the nice quiet surroundings. Toilet block is always clean and tidy. Site just on outskirts of Bowness and recommend a torch if venturing out at night as driveway into site can be very dark. If planning on putting an awning up, be aware some plots have concrete plinths under the top layer, but wardens have a drill and pegs available to make life easy. Another one of the little touches that this excellent team of wardens provide.

On arrival at the site the wardens were great, very helpful, showed you to your pitch and helped positioning the caravan. The site and facilities were kept clean and tidy, with plenty of hot water for showers. Pitches all hardstanding, awning pegs proved difficult due ground obstructions but warden on hand with drill to install pegs. Site on the shore of Windermere short walk. Very nice site, friendly atmosphere would recommend a visit. Town good for bits, nearest superstore Asda10 miles away, but small Co-op & Tesco in Braithwaite, Sainsbury in Windermere.
Follow directions to site if you stray some roads narrow with plenty of bends etc.

Facilities very good and clean. Extremely dog friendly for well behaved dogs. The wardens could not do enough for you. Some of the most friendliest and obliging wardens I have ever met. Would certainly come again.
Thanks for such a good holiday
