Why stay here ...

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite is a tranquil oasis scattered with rhododendrons from the garden of the former Old Hall. Located in the Eden Valley of Carlisle, the caravan park is set against a backdrop of the lovely High Stand Forest. Recent reports show that the number of red squirrels in the area has increased, so you may be lucky to see some during your visit. The site now offers a viewing hide from which you can watch red squirrels.

Come for a night, stay for a week. That's what happens to those using the Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite as a stopover during the drive to Scotland on the M6. The area is especially popular for walkers because of its convenient footpath access to uncrowded landscapes and scenic beauty - the Eden Valley riverside walk is a special treat. For added activities such as a swimming pool, cinema, restaurants and pubs, the nearby town of Carlisle won't disappoint. The town can be reached by steam train, along a line which passes through scenic countryside and waterfalls. The Settle to Carlisle Railway runs right past the bottom of the site driveway. In the summer special steam train events pass the site twice a week and visitors can stand right by the track to enjoy the atmosphere and take photographs. Carlisle Castle and the famous Hadrian's Wall are only a short drive away. The site is a perfect choice for those with dogs, with many local dog-friendly pubs. A serene gem surrounded by views of the Lakeland fells and wild flower scattered country lanes, the caravan site offers an excellent escape.

The site is quiet during the school holidays, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Service pitches are available.

Please note: This site does not have a toilet block.

Another relaxing break

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite
Another five days of total relaxation, what a fabulous site, one day of sporadic rain, four days of dry November weather, clean and dry enough to walk round the lakes and forest twice a day and admire the lovely new bench that was made by Jason & Yvette (neighbours of the site) plenty of hard work for the excellent managers Mick & Carol who keep the site immaculate but no matter how busy always have time for a friendly chat. Thank you so much and roll on next March when the site re-opens.

Ideal for our short stay to show our puppy at The Border Terrier Clubs national open show

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite
A beautiful tranquil site with excellent dog walking facilities. We will definitely be returning for any shows we are exhibiting in in future in the wider Cumbria area. We will recommend the site to other dog show enthusiasts who find travelling to shows in the area in just one day too stressful.

Beautiful site for a Relaxing break.

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite
This is the second time we have stayed at Englethwaite Hall as its a convenient site halfway between our home in the Highlands and our family in the Westcountry. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and chose our pitch and enjoyed our time there in a most relaxing way. There are no toilet and washroom facilities and no parks. However, my granddaughter enjoyed walking through the woods to the near by lakes and seeing some wildlife and horses on the way. This is a relaxing site where you can kick back and read a good book. Its all about tranquility. I think this site is suitable for couples and families who enjoy nature and their surroundings. Englethwaite Hall wouldn't suit kids looking for parks, wanting to kick football's about or want to ride around on electric scooters. Its a bit off the beaten track but you will receive a warm welcome when you get there, and there's a small shop which stocks a few essentials and ice lollies.

Perfect

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite
From the perfect floral display upon arriving at the reception, to the friendly hardworking wardens who do an incredible job keeping the site immaculate, my five day stay again was perfect, this site is worth so much more than an overnight stop when on a long haul trip. Definitely time to sneak in a couple of more visits before the end of this sites season. Thank you

A very pleasant return.

Englethwaite Hall Club Campsite
This site is definitely one of my favourite on the entire network. The location and the surrounding area is just stunning, especially when (like me) you get the weather. Armathawaite is a lovely close village, as is Wetheral, and both offer great walking along the River Eden. Coombs Wood is a great place to walk the dogs near Armathwaite. The site is beautifully maintained and the display of flower baskets and containers all around the site, especially at the Reception building, are amazing. The Site Staff really know what they're doing here! The Staff were very welcoming. No facilities block which really appeals to me as it makes for a very peaceful site, and pitches are arranged in amongst varying areas of the grounds. A great dog walking field on the site, and direct access to High Stand Forest from a gate on the site. Thanks for a great few nights!
