The first light catches the eastern fells across Windermere, turning the water silver before the lake traffic wakes — you're close enough to Britain's longest lake to feel its pull, tucked into the Staveley edge of the national park.

This Camping and Caravanning Club site welcomes both tents and campervans, making it a practical base for walkers tackling the Kentmere horseshoe or families wanting easy access to Windermere's water sports and villages without the Bowness crowds. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so fell dogs and family pets alike can join the adventure. Staveley itself has become a foodie hub in recent years, and you're well-placed for exploring the quieter eastern valleys.

Facilities aren't detailed in full, so it's worth checking what's available when you book. Campfires need confirming on arrival — policies can shift with weather and season. The vibe here leans toward classic club camping: organized enough for first-timers, relaxed enough for old hands who just want a decent pitch and a kettle on in the morning.
