Why stay here ...
Lovely quiet location in the heart of the national park. Outgate Fell is central to lakes Windermere, Coniston, Grassmere and Rydal as well as providing a convenient location close to Grizedale Forest, Wray Castle and many other scenic mountain and fell walks. Additionally, the site is approximately 1 mile down the road from the popular and well renowned Drunken Duck Inn and only a short drive to the shops and restaurants of Ambleside. There is fishing available nearby.

Interesting CL owner???
Hi, Originally booked for 4 nights and access on the lanes with a caravan (7.5x2.5m) was ok, no dramas. Scenery at the cl was beautiful, no complaints but definitely overpriced. As some pitches were elevated, accessable by tracks in the long grass only. Front wheel drive vehicles would have had a real struggle... Show more

Great site
We visited for 5 nights in August and loved the site. It was as described, a series of individual pitches very spaced out some are a little more challenging to get to but should be fine if you tow with a 4x4. The road from Ambleside was absolutely... Show more

Lovely site - narrow access
We had a lovely 5 night stay at Outgate Fell. Beautiful location, two excellent eating pubs with walking distance. Certainly the Outgate Inn is within range of our 3 and 4yr olds. The site owners were lovely and facilities as advertised. However what almost stopped us from going was my CAMC... Show more

The best of the Lake District
We must have stayed the same time as the reviewer who wrote the review titled ‘mixed feelings’, so we had similar feelings about the number of occupied pitches, and campers using the bushes for toilets... However, despite that, it’s our favourite site so far: it’s a beautiful undulating site, with... Show more

Lovely site but access roads a challenge
The site was lovely , nothing provided but the basics but that's fine and what we expected. Very peaceful with lovely views and plenty of space between vans. We were only there a couple of nights for a nearby 'dark sky' experience so didn't spend much time in the locality... Show more

Mixed Feelings!
We stayed for 3 nights over a busy Easter Weekend. In our view we had mixed feeling about this site. I will break them down to the good and the not so great. Good: The site itself is down a small lane and is on a large field with several... Show more

Total tranquility
We have just returned from this CL and loved every second we were there. It's the way camping used to be when I went with my parents 50+ years ago All you get for your £12.50 per night is 1. Loads of space with pitches on different levels all with views of the... Show more

A lovely site
The access to the site via the 'B' road and the lane to the site needs care but once you get to the site it is quiet and peaceful with individual pitches. It is central to visiting the sights of the Lake District or just enjoy staying on the site! A... Show more

Great CL
Just as someone has already said, don't expect a lot - apart from absolute peace and quiet! You'll need a 4X4 in the winter months (and summer if it's been wet!) and the lane up to it is very narrow but when you get there you won't be disappointed.....unless you... Show more

Peace and tranquility!
This is possibly the most peaceful CL site you could wish for- just returned from 6 nights here. Ideally located within walking distance of Wray Castle (about 45min away) and the Western shores of Lake Windermere, with a superb pub in the village of Outgate only 5 min walk [and... Show more
