Lowther holiday park
Lowther castle

  • Dog-friendly site on a private, wooded riverside in the Eden Valley
  • A 10-minute drive from Ullswater and 15 minutes from Lowther Castle
  • Bar and shop; fly fishing available in the river Lowther
Whether it’s an active or a lazy Lake District getaway you have in mind, Lowther Holiday Park will get the opening scenes rolling splendidly. What might these scenes look like? Well, when you’re not unwinding in the site’s 40-acre managed woodland in the Eden Valley or paddling in the river running through the site, you might be out boating on Ullswater, which is accessible from Pooley Bridge 10 minutes’ drive away. Have a gander at the medieval ruins of Lowther Castle & Gardens, which lie at the end of a quiet 40-minute woodland walk from the site. Then, recharge your batteries at one of the period pubs in Askham, 10 minutes’ drive away from the site. Those of you who prefer a picnic lunch will be pleased to know that Lowther Holiday Park has a fully-stocked mini market, which also supplies essential camping equipment and gas. There’s a family-run bar on site with outdoor entertainment in the summer and Sky Sports for those who can’t bear to miss a match day. Down a mile-long, newly-laid and private tarmac drive lined with mature trees, this place really feels like a wildlife haven. The long Lowther river snakes through the site, so wade around the shallows and keep your eyes peeled for native red squirrels, wild rabbits and birds. You wouldn’t guess that junction 40 on the M6 is just 10 minutes’ drive away. Access to the site is through the scenic village of Eamont Bridge.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very peaceful surroundings. Toilets kept clean. Grounds and pitches were clean no litter is left for long before its picked up. The bakery on site was very good, pies, pasties, filled rolls and cakes all freshly made on site. The river walk was wonderful. In all a fantastic few days.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Location is good, just off the M6 so easy to get to. Very clean although the gents loos were closed ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’. Very large site and lovely walks.

Disliked: We could not get into the site until early afternoon and were only staying one night. We had no time to visit anywhere before closing times. The site is very cramped, loads of lodges very close together and pitches for motorhomes were not very wide. We could not get out our awning to shelter from the rain as there was not enough room.

How beautiful site was
The young member of staff with dark hair and glasses was absolutely lovely - she was so welcoming and because of her we will be back.

Disliked: We had walked 25 miles for charity which took us 11 hours. The guests on the pitch next to us were singing at the top of their lungs, shouting, swearing and just being disruptive until about 1am after being asked to keep the noise down. We were absolutely shattered and we just wanted to rest - I think the campsite rules should be enforced a little bit more.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great location for me and my two dogs. Really friendly welcome

Disliked: Not a dislike more of a suggestion, would be good to have rings to secure dogs in the shower block as they don’t like to be left in the tent. Something to think about ….

Liked: Lovely site, clean and welcoming.
Showers and toilets are amazing and one of the best we have seen.

Disliked: Would prefer to not be under the trees with all the crows as we couldn’t sit out due to the birds pooing non stop; which was a shame as the weather was lovely.

Local attractions

Set an early alarm, because you’ll want plenty of time to explore the Lake District’s second-largest lake. There’s a 20-mile path around Ullswater, which is accessible from Pooley Bridge (10 minutes’ drive). So, take it all in on foot, or opt for the boat hire and cruises if you’d like to cover as much ground (or rather, water) as possible in one go. Haweswater Reservoir (half an hour) isn’t as busy as Ullswater, making it a great pick for more peaceful days out hiking. Penrith (10 minutes) will pick up the pace once again; there’s the popular Beacon Hill hike for those not done with the outdoorsy adventures and a museum and 14th-century castle for those interested in a slice of history. As Lowther Holiday Park is so close to the A66 and the M6, it’s not so tricky to take a day trip to the Yorkshire Dales National Park (45 minutes), Hexham (an hour and 15 minutes) or Barnard Castle (an hour and five minutes) either.
