Crake Trees Manor

The crunch of gravel beneath your feet and the rustle of ancient oaks overhead announce your arrival at this historic Cumbrian manor estate, where dappled sunlight filters through centuries-old woodland onto generous grass pitches.

Set within the grounds of a characterful manor in the southern Lake District, Crake Trees offers a peaceful base for exploring both lakeland fells and the quieter charms of the Furness Peninsula. This is a site for those who appreciate simplicity and space, where you can pitch your tent, park your campervan or settle your caravan among mature trees without the bustle of larger commercial sites.

Facilities are refreshingly straightforward with clean toilets and showers serving the pitches. The campfire policy varies, so it's worth checking what's possible when you arrive – there's nothing quite like an evening fire among these veteran trees. The atmosphere is decidedly low-key and traditional, appealing to campers who value tranquillity and natural surroundings over entertainment and amenities.
