Overview
Camp on the shores of Lake Windermere and explore the southern lakes from this site.
This campsite was previously named Braithwaite Fold and has been changed to Bowness on Windermere.
The site is undergoing a refurbishment in 2021 - please check back for when we expect to re-open.
Bowness on Windermere campsite sits on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere in the heart of the beautiful Lake District and, as it's name suggests, is a stone's throw from the linked towns of Bowness and Windermere.
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, 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.
Worth Noting
Due to site restrictions only one car per pitch is allowed at any time and no boats are allowed on trailers. Drive-away awnings cannot be accommodated on most pitches – please contact site. All service pitches are hardstanding and rock pegs required. Poor TV reception.
Eat Local
A Farmers' Market is held in Kendal on the last Friday of the month.
