  • Small quiet site set on a working farm in the Western Lake District
  • Close to mountain and coastal walks
  • Near the Hawk & Owl Centre at Muncaster
Come to Cumblands Farm Caravan Site in the western Lake District to be close to mountain and coastal walks, cycling and long days exploring the surrounds before evenings chilling out among smashing sunsets and the sounds of local birds… (And if birds are your bag, you might like to flit to the nearby Hawk & Owl Centre at Muncaster.) As might be expected around the Lake District, these are fab views around Cumblands Farm and the vibe is one of simple countryside serenity; this is a small and very friendly site on a working farm and just the ticket for soothing hols. It's about a mile's walk via the nearby beach to the local village of Ravenglass. Cumblands Farm has charging facilities, chemical disposal and a small shower and loo block with plenty of hot water. And as might be hoped in a region with walkies all around, this is a dog-friendly place – look out for the friendly farm dogs while you're there.

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: Very small and quiet campsite. Nice clean bathroom/toilet block. Loved the loose chickens and ducks. Loved that the tent area is an orchard.

Campsite is at a lovely working farm, this means that it may smell of cows, and there will be cockerels crowing in the morning and potentially at night.

The atmosphere is very relaxed and there's no pressure or rush. We were met on arrival by a lovely lady who helpfully gave us advice on local attractions and places to eat.

Everyone staying at the same time as us had dogs with them. Dogs are advertised as not allowed in the tent area, but we called ahead to check before booking and it wasn't a problem.

Disliked: Shower is extra. For the price, I'm used to showers being included, but at least the £ from these are donated to mountain rescue :)

One of the roads leading to this area is shut until at least June 2025, which makes the route there a bit longer from the south - obviously nothing to do with the campsite itself but may be a factor for travel times.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Small site, friendly owner, spacious, level pitches, dog friendly, great walking straight off the site, 25 mins walk to Ravenglass village for pubs, inclusive vfm price (no added extras for dog or electricity).

Disliked: No washing up area for pots and pans, views spoiled by pylon but appreciate little the owner can do about that!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Everything, the clue is in the title, if you don't like farm animals don't go this is a working farm, I loved the fact I was right by the cow field, the chickens and cockerels were roaming about and as for the two friendly goats sometimes grazing by my van they were wonderful oh almost forgot the owner, he was a very pleasant guy and would always stop what he was doing if you wanted a chat , just over a mile walk down the lane to ravenglass and a lovely train ride into delgarth then on return a couple of pints in the ratty arms

Disliked: Nothing, don't moan adapt to the surroundings this is not Butlins

Route directions

Please note that satnavs can take unusual routes, so it's best to follow these instructions. From the A595, take the turning signed Saltcoates. Continue down the road, past a farm on your right. Slow down as you approach the blind bend. As you come out of the bend there is a farm track on your left: this is the entrance to Cumblands Farm. Drive up the lane and follow the road around the boundary of the garden to the site.

Local attractions

Lakes, mountains, beaches and miles of walking paths and cycling trails are all within a short distance of Cumblands Farm Caravan Site, as well as heritage highlights like Muncaster Castle and the ruins of the Roman fort near Hardknott. Whitehaven harbour is a short drive away. The local village of Ravenglass (the only coastal settlement in the whole of the Lake District National Park) was occupied by toga types in the second century when it was used as a vital Roman naval base; the remains of the Roman baths form one of the biggest remaining Roman structures in England. Ravenglass is also the starting point for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway running the seven miles to Dalegarth in the Eskdale valley and passing the Hardknott Roman fort, the Boot and Muncaster watermills and Muncaster Castle. If you reckon your legs can stand it, hike up nearby Hardknott Pass, one of the two steepest paths in all of England (the other is Rosedale Chimney Bank in North Yorkshire) for views of the Isle of Man and access to the also fairly tough terrain of Wrynose Pass which leads to the Three Shire Stone where the historic counties of Cumberland, Lancashire and Westmorland meet. Viking artefacts including the tallest and oldest Viking cross in England are at the nearby village of Gosforth four miles away.
