Overview

Located 8 miles from Lake Windermere, this Club Site is ideally situated for exploring the stunning beauty of the Lake District National Park.

Sit back and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this campsite, surrounded by plentiful wildlife and beautiful views. Our spacious Windermere Club Site boasts a separate tent camping area, backpacker facility, a family camping area, and children’s play area.

After a busy day exploring the Lakes The Whistling Pig, the onsite bar is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a well earned drink.

Across the fields lies the village of Staveley, as well as a shop, supermarket, pubs and the famous Hawkshead Brewery. Take a walk from the campsite to Potters Fell or Reston Scar.

If you are looking to stay closer to the lake, the Club also has a site in the town of Bowness on Windermere.
