2024 into 2025

We generally spend 15 days at Yanwath but this year we could not get onto the site as it was sodden. I called the Sister site Moss Thorn and spoke to Louise and asked if she had room for 2 adults and 2 collies. Not a problem. Arrived on site about 10... Show more

Great litte CL

Stayed 4 nights as a base for attending a pottery event in Penrith. Site is 10 mins from Penrith centre and handy for drop off when travelling North (or South). Well maintained site. We will definitely use again.

Easy access, a good base for exploring the area

Very easy access roads for all vehicle types. The road is fairly busy and not one you would want to walk along during the day but quietens down at night. The CL is quiet overnight. For walking/dog walk go up to the road, turn right walk along wide verge for 100m to... Show more

Everything we wanted

Very easy access from M6, and good wide access on to site. Water, toilet and chemical disposal handy for pitches. Very friendly welcome. It's about 25 minutes drive from Keswick so a good option for the Northern Lake District. Would definitely use again.

Ideal CL

This CL is ideally located just outside Penrith. It has easy access to the M6, petrol stations and the town centre, yet it is far enough away to be peaceful. On a working farm, it is fairly basic but has all that you need…a toilet, fresh water, electricity and waste disposal.... Show more

Great overnighter

We were travelling up to Galloway and never travel more than 3 hours if we can help it. Moss Thorn, 5 miles to the west of Penrith fits this need. Its roughly 3 miles from the M6 and situated on the approach to the farm. All you need is there and... Show more

Spring visit to Moss Thorn

This Cl is easily access being about 3 mls from the M6. It has a wide entrance off the quiet B5288 from Penrith to Greystoke and has 5 H/S pitches, some of them newly laid, with EHU, views over the adjacent fields and a toilet. Although there is no dog... Show more
