  • Family-friendly site on the edge of the southern Lake District
  • Handy location a mile from the M6 and a 15-minute drive from Kendal
  • Well-maintained site with bar, picnic area, pool table and TV room
Lake, forest, and spectacular countryside… what’s not to like about this fantastic setting in the southern Lake District? Add in level pitches, a goodly collection of facilities and a friendly welcome on site and you should be all set for a fab family break at Waters Edge Caravan Park. Because of its handy location close to the M6, this is a nifty spot for getting out to all of the Lake District and Yorkshire, or even popping up to Scotland (it's only an hour's drive away). After day trips, head over to the clubhouse to ponder the fine selection of beers and spirits in the well-stocked bar – if the sun’s out, take them out to sip in the fresh air on the patio. There's a friendly vibe at this place, so just try not to get too competitive playing pool with new pals or watching sport together in the TV lounge. For food, you may like to create a picnic or fire up one of the barbecues over by reception (pick up bits at the shop on site or set out for a well-stocked store half a miles away. Not in the mood to cater? Make a break for meals at the pub a couple of minutes' walk away. Other amenities around the place include outdoor taps for your drinking water, a washing-up area, a laundry room and bathrooms with individual washing cubicles, showers and accessible toilets.

Liked: Nice small site
Facilities were good
Nice walk along the canal from the campsite.

Side note there isn’t an actual playground. It is a small water course which they can play in. Our children liked it as it was fun and different.

Disliked: Facilities were good only slight thing when you had a shower the curtain tended to stick to you as wasn’t much space. Nothing wrong with the temperature or the actual shower though.

Not campsites fault but we were there three nights and tried to book a table at the pub over the road and was fully booked. Probably just bad luck but could be worth booking in advance.

Local attractions

Head into Kendal (15 minutes' drive) for golf days or to shelter indoors at the local leisure centre, which has a pool, squash and gym. You may also like to take wanders around the town's castle ruins and museums or pop in for a pint (or a tour) at Hawkshead Brewery. Hop on horseback and make your own great western adventures in the surrounding woodland and countryside with the nearest horse riding centre (10 minutes' drive). If water-based antics are more your thing, it's a 15-minute drive to a lake for waterskiing, windsurfing, sailing and fishing. Or keep an eye out to see what's on at the Westmorland County Showground (10 minutes' walk), which often stages smashing family-friendly events. If you fancy exploring the wider region, it's an easy drive to Morecambe Bay beach (20 minutes), and the Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes). For kid-pleasing days out, aim to lose them for a while at Lakeland Maze Farm Park or head off to meet the animals at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis; both are around 10 minutes away by car.
