One of the best

A beautiful site servicing the NW of the Lake District. The balance of wild meadow area vs manicured lawn is just right and the wild flowers a welcome treat, Both sets of wardens we met during our 12 night stay were perfect for the job; really helpful and friendly but not intrusive. It is a shame that, like many others, the site closes before autumn will have finished because the woodlands and lakes will look at their very best at that time of year. A couple of warnings however, many of the pitches are uneven and you may need a lot of wheel chocks and corner-steady supports to level your outfit. Also, you may enjoy it so much that you lose track of time and accidentally stay an extra night!

Peaceful, some great walks

A lovely site, walk behind the site up to the lake. Take the logging road up the hill - the views are spectacular! Deer in the fields and noisy woodpecker chicks being fed close to the road. Will definitely be back.

Keep off the grass

It was a little out of the way you couldn’t just nip out for a coffee or food. Warden concerned about his grass., and loved being out regularly on his tractor. But on the plus side a quiet site so had restful evenings

Fabulous

We had three nights at Dockray Meadow on our way back from Scotland, would have loved to stay longer, the site is so peaceful and quiet, Lamplugh is on the edge of the National Park, ideally situated for eveything the Lakes has to offer, easy access, good size pitches and friendly, helpful wardens.

Beautiful location, & so quiet

We discovered this site as I wanted to explore the north of the Lakes. This sight does not have facilities but that was fine with us. Its location is amazing, and so quiet. The wardens were so friendly and helpful, suggesting walks for us to do. There is a beautiful walk directly from the site, round Congra moss and up Blake Fell. Views from the top of Blake Fell were stunning. Well worth the climb. The site is also a short drive away from St Bees, which is an RSPB site. A beautiful cliff top walk to see nesting sea birds.

Campervan Visit September 2021

Excellent site which was well maintained by very friendly wardens. Pitch size variable and some pitches shaded. Very quiet and were regaled by the Tawny Owls at night. Sadly no red squirrels seen as they seem to have been put off by some of the tethered dogs! Useful information on local short walks and good access to the high fells above Cogra Moss for longer excursions. Surrounding roads relatively quiet so walking to and around Ennerdale Water was not a problem. Easy access to site as only a short distance from the main road.

amazing

so my second visit here this year and already booked for next, this is the kind of site i like very rural and quiet. you use your own facilities in you van, the way camping should be and well done for keeping this site this way. there are really good staff who are very knowable on the local area. within easy reach of Whitehaven and other local villages. the site itself is well lade out and so full of wildlife it truly amazing and together with the dedicated staff makes it a lovely place to visit. there are many lovely walks with beautiful scenery in this area really worthwhile visiting here. we have found everyone on this site each time we have come here very friendly just like all the club sites. so if you love peace and quiet with lovely walks with bundle of nature especially those crazy squirrels you will love it here.

Peaceful site

Lovely peaceful site immaculately kept by the wardens. Some of the pitches were not that big to get a 7.4 m motor home in and could imagine some larger caravans would have the same problem. Phone signal was a poor and no tv signal where we were. However the site was lovely, right by a babbling stream.We took a car and was glad of it around a lot of the narrow roads in the Lakes. The site was in a great location for the Western lakes including some of the quieter places like Ennerdale water. Also walked to Cogra Moss reservoir from the site Will definitely go again.

Ideal for caravanners

Very peaceful site but probably more suited to caravanners than motorhomers as there are only a couple of available walks which don't require road access. Worth making the trip to Loweswater for the circular walk along one side. Although peaceful, the site is very open with 3 rows of outfits facing one another. Ennerdale Craft Brewery Tap is excellent, dog friendly, and great beer and food. Again, you will need to drive to reach it, there are no pubs in easy walking distance.
