Why stay here ...
Croft Ends family run CL is situated on our working farm, with panoramic views over the Pennines and Lakeland Fells.
Our super pitches are fully serviced, on hard standing and surrounded by lawn. We provide a washroom with wash basin (Hot and Cold) and WC, a cycle shed, information room, chemical point and recycling facilities.
Well-behaved children are welcome on the site at no extra charge.
Dogs are also welcomed but must be kept on a lead.
There are many footpaths nearby, offering walkers the opportunity to explore the local countryside and villages. A path from Dufton leads to the UK's largest glacial valley, High Cup Nick. The walk involves a section of the Pennine Way, which offers the opportunity to enjoy spectacular views over the Eden Valley and beyond.
The town of Appleby, approximately 1.5 miles from the site, offers a wide variety of local shops, a castle, a riverside walk, local sports facilities including golf, cricket, swimming pool and bowling green, plus a wide range of restaurants and public houses.

It has five large, fully serviced hardstanding pitches that anyone can book. Passing through that small site you enter the CL,... Show more
