Loved it, staff amazing, site stunning so relaxing A1 xxx
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Absolutely loved this place, it was so peaceful, tranquil and stunning. The staff were so informative especially Sylvia, every campsite needs a Sylvia. There was also a lovely young lady in bar, who's was always happy to help, and as for the campsite shop the veggie sausage roll was delicious.
Toilets and showers yes dated bit clean, even a bath if you wanted one.
Disliked I wouldn't say it's a dislike but, I think the campsite shop could be better stocked. And the WiFi was hit and miss

We would definitely visit again.

A quiet, peaceful, dog walkers paradise.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The facilities were very good-I’ve never seen a bath at a holiday park!
My children were never out of the park, which we didn’t mind as it was right in front of our tent. Our dog enjoyed a paddle in the on site river. Good location with short commutes to key walking areas e.g Ullswater, Pately Bridge, Aira force waterfall etc.
Disliked *The games room was not really a games room due to lots of the machines being out of order or not working•
*The shop was very expensive and basic.
*Some older children continued to enter the park and were horrible to younger children (although this point is a parenting issue not a park issue)
*This park has focused on adults with not enough to engage young children e.g amusements, entertainment, activities etc.
*volume of traffic whilst commuting to other areas in the locality.

Lovely friendly place. Set in beautiful grounds
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely camp site. Staff very welcoming and helpful. On site shop and pub and restraint.
Pitched are a good size (tent ) walking round even the caravan pitches were a good size.
Beautiful walk down the path along the river were you can enter and a fab place to take the dogs if you take them.
Disliked I am no means put of by the dislikes but did make a slight difference in the ease if camping.
No toilets or showers any were near the camping. Almost felt like the small area fir tents was for picket money. Very much a holiday home caravan site. Tent area has a slope on it so hard to find a flat spot for bedroom area in tent and a long walk to the nearest toilet block.
Jad to keep hand on button for shower and not very hot.

Have booked again for next year we enjoyed ourselves so much!
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We absolutely loved our visit to Lowther Holiday Park! So much for the kids to do and beautiful place!!
Disliked Showers are absolutely grim. Huge lumps of hair on the floor and up the walls and toilet seats hanging on for dear life. We did not let it ruin our stay as the positives massively outweighed this issue.
