Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: Tour for Less | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite is a tranquil oasis scattered with rhododendrons from the garden of the former Old Hall. Located in Cumbria's Eden Valley, the campsite is set against a backdrop of the lovely High Stand Forest. Recent reports show that the number of red squirrels in the area has increased, so you may be lucky to see some during your visit. The site now offers a viewing hide from which you can watch red squirrels.
Come for a night, stay for a week. That's what happens to those using the Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite as a stopover during the drive to Scotland on the M6. The area is especially popular for walkers because of its convenient footpath access to uncrowded landscapes and scenic beauty - the Eden Valley riverside walk is a special treat. For added activities such as a swimming pool, cinema, restaurants and pubs, the nearby city of Carlisle won't disappoint. Carlisle Castle and the famous Hadrian's Wall are only a short drive away. The site is a perfect choice for those with dogs, with many local dog-friendly pubs. A serene gem surrounded by views of the Lakeland fells and wild flower scattered country lanes, the caravan site offers an excellent escape.
The site is quiet during the school holidays, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Peaceful and back to nature
We stayed here at the end of October. It’s our favourite site. The woods are accessed directly from the site and are a dog heaven. You can walk for miles. We heard owls and lots of birds. We saw deer and squirrels even on the site. It was rather quiet... Show more

Very pleasant site. Access from M6 needs care, but OK. Very friendly and helpful staff. Generally very peaceful, though use of a leaf blower was noisy and seemed to be totally unnecessary Leaves fall off trees in the autumn and do not stop walking or driving nor look unsightly.
