One of the best kept secrets on the network, Dockray Meadow Club Campsite in Lamplugh puts you within easy reach of lesser-known lake gems, such as Cogra Moss, Ennerdale, Loweswater, Crummock Water, Buttermere, Derwentwater and Keswick. With its scenic surroundings of hills and trees, the caravan park offers a great getaway for the family. It is also a great choice for dog owners with lovely walks from the site.
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite has a little something for all tastes. You may opt to unwind alongside the tumbling stream, watching the red squirrels dart about. For the more energetic, there are plenty of walks from and around the caravan site where you can take in the glorious fell scenery. Cyclists won't be disappointed, since the Coast to Coast Cycle Route is a short distance away. Other excursions within easy reach include the St Bees Head Nature Reserve, several nearby National Trust sites and the lovely old market town of Cockermouth, famous for being the birthplace of William Wordsworth.
The Countryman pub is within a 20 minute walk from the site and serves food from 12pm until 8pm, 7 days a week.
Please Note: This site does not have a toilet block. Reception at this site closes at 6pm - latest arrival time is 8pm. If you will be arriving between 6pm - 8pm, please contact the site during the day of arrival before 6pm. The site team will be happy to provide you with your check in information.

Another great stay.
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite
Just enjoyed another great stay. Brian & Sue are excellent hosts/wardens always friendly, helpful & incredibly cheerful.
They keep the site in good order.
Pitches nice level.
Great site, good location and well maintained
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite
Fantastic site, quiet, very well kept by friendly and welcoming wardens. Clean facilities, grey water disposal very easy to use. Good location for access to Ennerdale Water, Cockermouth, St Bees Head and the coast. Local pub within walking distance. Great for cycling and walking, will definitely stay again.
Great stay, nice and peaceful
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite
Great site immaculately kept by hardworking wardens who are very nice.
Handy for west lakes.
Probably not suited to those with children as nowhere for them to play.
Can't fault the site it was perfect for us.
A Little Gem!!
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite
We have never been to this site before but we will certainly be returning. The managers, Sue and Brian, are a so friendly and keep the site looking immaculate. There is a length limit of 7.5m but if you phone ahead and check availability, there are a number of pitches that can accommodate larger outfits. There is no toilet block here or play area so I'm not sure how families would fare. That said, it is in a beautiful location with plenty of walks from the site and three Wainwrights within striking distance. There are no shops nearby and there doesn't appear to be a regular bus service. The nightly rate was around £21 for two adults - better than many CL's price wise. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.
Quite a find
Dockray Meadow Club Campsite
We stayed 7 nights here in our motorhome in August 2023. A lovely, peaceful and very attractive site, which has a very reasonable nighty rate due to having no toilet block, (comparable to the rate charged by many CLs actually). The wardens were very pleasant and our spaniel loved the dog agility course they had built in the dog field. The location was away from the often manic bustle of the main Lake district venues, but close enough to access Keswick and other popular areas if you so wish. Although there are some areas to the west coast which reflect the deprivation some of these communities experience, we had 2 lovely days at St Bees and found some really attractive and quiet little spots driving up Cumbria's north west coast. Our only negative was trying to find a pitch that was anything like level! Even on the top of levelling blocks we were climbing Cat Bells Inside the motorhome! Surely the pitches could have been dug out a little more levels than they have? However, we survived and yes, we'd go back again.
