  • Peaceful family-run park on the Cumbria coast three miles from Silloth
  • Lake District half an hour's drive; 40 minutes to Carlisle
  • Dog-friendly site with access to a long sandy beach
A west-facing site is a lovely thing, allowing you to spend the evening raising a glass (and/or a sausage from the barbecue) to the colourful sunset unfolding in front of you. The only thing that could make this picture even better? A sea view to go with your sunset… and that's exactly what you can expect at Rowanbank Caravan Park. This peaceful family-run park is on the Cumbria coast, five minutes’ drive south of Silloth and right next to a huge sandy beach that's a popular spot for fishing, dog walks and long coastal strolls. Dogs are, of course, welcome on site as well… You'll be just outside the Solway Coast National Landscape here, so there are plenty more walking options around there, or in the northern parts of the Lake District National Park, which is about half an hour's drive away. Add in a championship golf course, a go-kart track, a wildlife park and several historic sites nearby and you should have a location with something to suit most tastes when it comes to days out. This is a laidback and friendly site with simple facilities in the form of toilets, showers, a washing-up area, an Elsan point and a launderette. Bring a barbecue along and you'll be able to load it with supplies from the small supermarket in Silloth, which is also a handy place to find cafés and takeaways (fish and chips on the beach, anyone?)

What customers say

This is a quiet, well-maintained campsite with friendly staff and a fantastic location close to the beach. Pitches are generally spacious and well-kept, with good access to water. Facilities, particularly the shower blocks, are noted as dated by some but are consistently described as clean and functional. It's considered good value for money, though dog charges are seen as high by some. Ideal for those seeking peace and proximity to coastal walks.

Lynne K.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The location is very near a great beach, friendly and helpful owner.

Disliked The grass was very long to pitch a tent on, it had been cut in part of the field but those spaces were already being used.

Christopher H.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked All of it.

Friendly staff to welcome you to the site and inform you of facilities etc, really good location and easy to find.

Field where we stayed may aswell have been with the cows, on the morning they do their walk from their barn to their field which was an amazing site to see especially with the children.

The price was very fair infact cheap, given that there are very reasonable facilities on site too including laundry, wash room, chemical disposal and showers.

Disliked Can't be helped by the site, but there was a festival in a nearby field (about 4 miles away) the musice kept us awake most of the night. Again not the sites fault but was the only thing we disliked about our stay.
