Well-kept pitches on a family farm 20 minutes’ drive from Ullswater
Lowther Castle and Aira Force High Waterfall both 20 minutes’ drive
Bike hire available on site; pubs and takeaways 10 minutes’ drive

With easy access from both the West Coast Main Line to Penrith and the M6 motorway, Woodhead Farm is small and family-run working farm in the Eden Valley. Sitting on the edge of the Lake District National Park, the site is 20 minutes’ drive from Ullswater. It makes a handy base for excursions into the North Pennines National Landscape (also 20 minutes by car) too. Once you arrive at Woodhead Farm, you can make friends with whatever young animals are around (including lambs in spring), and because there is always livestock around, dogs are not allowed on site. However, lots of great cycling and walking trails can be accessed directly from the camping field – and if you’re going down the biking route, the owners have an agreement with a local rental company who can deliver bikes right to your pitch. Golfers can also have a field day as there are several 18-hole courses within 20 minutes’ drive. Barbecues are allowed on site but if you’re not that into alfresco cooking, you can head for the pubs and takeaways of Penrith (10 minutes’ drive). If you want to push the boat out for a special occasion, there’s a Michelin-starred place in Skelton (also 10 minutes, reservations required).
