Crofton Hall Certificated location (CL) is set in the walled garden of Crofton Hall, at the heart of the Crofton estate. Whilst the Hall no longer stands, many of the surrounding buildings still remain intact and give a real 'country estate' feel to the area. The walled garden itself is around two acres, through which we have spread five generously spaced pitches, each with its own water supply and electricity hookup. Waste water and chemical disposal points are provided in the corner of the site, along with refuse and recycling bins.
Located in the wall of the garden are several small buildings, one of which contains a full-sized table tennis table as well as a notice board displaying local services that may be of interest. Just outside the garden, in the West Wing of the Stable Block of the estate, is a well-equipped bathroom with two WC's, four shower cubicles and two sinks with mirrors, lighting and electric shaver points. Also located in this building are a small lending library and a selection of toys and games for younger children. Just across the lane from the site is the old estate Dairy. Guests have the opportunity to visit the Crofton Cheese Farm, where you can watch the cheese being made from locally sourced cows' and goats' milk and can even purchase some if desired.
Also located close by is the Crofton Fishing Lake. The lake is a real wildlife magnet and makes for a beautiful walk in all seasons. Walkers will have the opportunity to see the resident family of grey herons, and otters have been spotted here too.
The estate was once ringed by stone walls which created a deer park for roe and fallow deer. Some of these can still be seen when walking on the public footpaths around the site.
The CL is centrally located between several areas of outstanding natural beauty, including the Northern Lake District, The Solway Coast and the forest parks and picturesque towns of South-West Scotland. The Border City of Carlisle is just eight miles away.
Well-behaved dogs are permitted on site at no extra charge. Our pricing is charged at a flat-rate and includes your caravan, awning, car(s), pets, children, extra adults, power, water and usage of the bathroom.
Please check availability and make all bookings through website link (top right), where you will also find much more site information.

AMAZING SITE HUGE PITCHES
Crofton Hall
Love it here and we are looking forward to arriving again in August yippee,great walk round a lake with our dog,so peaceful the pitches are private and huge,only one little niggle is the fact you need to cut across grass to get to the hardstanding pitch,maybe a little gravel drive to each pitch would make sense as it will save the grass being churned up in bad weather..we brought back some gorgeous cheese after visiting the cheese factory yum yum ,i just love this site and i am sure you will not be disappointed.

Wonderfully spacious pitch on very peaceful site. Water and electric on pitch, toilet and shower facilities a bit further away in main building complex. Unfortunately, a rather misleading sign on the main door of the family bathroom (perhaps left from Covid?) but which seemed to be happily ignored. Also a seemingly unavoidable problem with grass cuttings from the camping field in the showers - might I suggest a squeegee rather than a brush? Lovely walk around the adjoining lake and an added bonus of a coffee shop/eatery on site as well as a glass making showroom and cheese maker.

We stayed three nights in August 2023. A delightful site. Pitches are huge with access to water on each pitch. Toilets were immaculate. The coffee shop next door was a bonus. We recommend this site unreservedly.
Good CL
Crofton Hall
We stayed here in mid April, the weather was not great so we were a bit worried about the drive over the very wet grass to access the hard standings, but it went fine in the end.
3 very large, hedged pitches (no, 3,4 and 5) and 2 which are also large but more open as the hedges have not yet grown tall. We were on pitch 4, which is conveniently close to the waste and toilet emptying, but not immediately next to it.
Toilets and showers were good, I used the toilet but decided to shower in the van as it was a bit far to go in the rain.
Directions were clear and access good even for larger outfits.
We visited some places on the coast, Maryport and Whitehaven are particularly interesting. Carlisle is also worth a visit, but as we have stayed in the area before, we only did a little shopping there.

Just had a great 5 nights at Crofton Hall. I am originally from the Carlisle area
and have stayed at lots of sites in the area visiting family but this is by far the best every thing is well kept and possibly the biggest pitch I have ever stayed on
A proper hidden gem.
