Church Lane Campsite

Liked Friendly team, quiet area, not too many other campers and everyone respectful. Very good showers, basic toilets and washing up facilities. Lovely pub 2 min drive- sun inn. Very good food. Easy 5-10 minute drive into Windermere.

Disliked Hard to locate, the country road in is big enough for 1 vehicle and is a 2 way road which was sketchy. Came face to face with another vehicle nearly every time I drove down the road, only 1 place on the whole stretch to pull in. Obviously not the campsites fault just something to be aware of!

From the manager: Thank you for such a lovely review! We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to welcoming you again should you wish to stay with us in future.

Just incase anyone is reading this RE locating us, we do provide quite a comprehensive set of location instructions which go out in our booking confirmation emails (including a WhatThreeWords pin, and a detailed set of written directions). We're only a few hundred meters down a back lane, and there a couple of passing spots along the way if you need them. It gives our campsite an extra level of tranquility being off the main road, so don't let this put you off.

Thanks again!

Liked Great location. Super friendly staff who came over for a chat & explained everything, nothing was too much trouble. Facilities were everything you need. Shower block was clean with hot water, shower gel was also provided, nice touch. Lovely to hear the sheep during the day & owls in the evening, very relaxing to get away from the busy noisy town life. Great place for family's looking for a safe place to camp with children. Evenings were extremely quiet & everyone respectful of others. If your into stargazing the night sky you'd die for, never seen so many stars !!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We really appreciate it, and we're glad you'd recommend us to friends and would stay again.

Apologies that your after hours experience was substandard, we do make considerable efforts to police noise later on in the evening but sometimes loud conversations slip through the net, unless we're made aware of them at the time. RE the toilets - as they're portaloos there is always going to be some level of smell, but we endeavour to minimise this through frequent cleaning. A lot of our guests give us really nice feedback on our loos - we certainly recognise the importance of keeping them in good shape.

Best wishes,

The Church Lane Campsite team.

Liked A great site with super friendly staff, a lovely vibe and perfect facilities. It’s close to Windermere, Kendal and Ambleside and is easy to get to from the motorway. Just a lovely place to spend a weekend :)

Disliked Nothing!

Liked Really nice campsite, the lads running it were sound as well. Good facilities, basic but that’s all that’s required really. Nice location, only thing I’d say is maybe add a mirror to the exit as it’s a bit of a blind turn. I’ll definitely be returning.

Liked Great remote location with friendly people working there! Showers were good with lots of hot water, good sized sinks for washing up and drinking water. 4 x portaloos and no one had to wait whilst we were there for the weekend. We camped for the first time with our toddler and it was a friendly space. Would definitely come back!

Disliked Portaloos were always cleaned when attendants were there, but got a quite dirty overnight from bigger groups.

There was someone flying a drone across the fields on top of the tents around 9/10 PM, which was a bit noisy, which wasn't ideal.

Liked Really polite and helpful staff, nice warm showers and access to running water.

Cleanest portaloos I’ve ever seen as well.

Fantastic location and extremely peaceful.

Disliked Limited showers in the morning, bit of a queue but that’s extremely minor.

Liked Great location. We arrived with our tent box and found a spot quite easily. Friendly staff who came over for a chat. Basic facilities but it had everything we needed for our stay. Lovely to hear the sheep thought out the day, super peaceful!

Disliked The ground is quite uneven in some spots.
