Crofton Hall Certificated location (CL) is set in the walled garden of Crofton Hall, at the heart of the Crofton estate. Whilst the Hall no longer stands, many of the surrounding buildings still remain intact and give a real 'country estate' feel to the area. The walled garden itself is around two acres, through which we have spread five generously spaced pitches, each with its own water supply and electricity hookup. Waste water and chemical disposal points are provided in the corner of the site, along with refuse and recycling bins.
Located in the wall of the garden are several small buildings, one of which contains a full-sized table tennis table as well as a notice board displaying local services that may be of interest. Just outside the garden, in the West Wing of the Stable Block of the estate, is a well-equipped bathroom with two WC's, four shower cubicles and two sinks with mirrors, lighting and electric shaver points. Also located in this building are a small lending library and a selection of toys and games for younger children. Just across the lane from the site is the old estate Dairy. Guests have the opportunity to visit the Crofton Cheese Farm, where you can watch the cheese being made from locally sourced cows' and goats' milk and can even purchase some if desired.
Also located close by is the Crofton Fishing Lake. The lake is a real wildlife magnet and makes for a beautiful walk in all seasons. Walkers will have the opportunity to see the resident family of grey herons, and otters have been spotted here too.
The estate was once ringed by stone walls which created a deer park for roe and fallow deer. Some of these can still be seen when walking on the public footpaths around the site.
The CL is centrally located between several areas of outstanding natural beauty, including the Northern Lake District, The Solway Coast and the forest parks and picturesque towns of South-West Scotland. The Border City of Carlisle is just eight miles away.
Well-behaved dogs are permitted on site at no extra charge. Our pricing is charged at a flat-rate and includes your caravan, awning, car(s), pets, children, extra adults, power, water and usage of the bathroom.
Please check availability and make all bookings through website link (top right), where you will also find much more site information.

A CL with a difference
Such a pleasant CL, situated in the grounds/walled garden of a former hall. Great pitch sizes, divided by hedges, ours (4) was well placed for privacy so much so that we could not see any others on the site, which was full. Great location for visiting local attractions, although... Show more

Welcome there isn’t one
We enjoyed our stay. The pitches are well spaced and the hedges make each pitch very private. It was not fully booked so was extra quiet. The walk around the lake was lovely. It was the weather that wasn’t. The toilets and shower block must be a nightmare when... Show more

Wonderfully spacious pitch on very peaceful site. Water and electric on pitch, toilet and shower facilities a bit further away in main building complex. Unfortunately, a rather misleading sign on the main door of the family bathroom (perhaps left from Covid?) but which seemed to be happily ignored. Also a... Show more

Crofton Hall
We stayed three nights in August 2023. A delightful site. Pitches are huge with access to water on each pitch. Toilets were immaculate. The coffee shop next door was a bonus. We recommend this site unreservedly.

Good CL
We stayed here in mid April, the weather was not great so we were a bit worried about the drive over the very wet grass to access the hard standings, but it went fine in the end. 3 very large, hedged pitches (no, 3,4 and 5) and 2 which are... Show more
