Dockray Meadow

Just visited this site for 14 nights. We would definitely recommend it! It is very peaceful. The wardens, Brian and Sue are very friendly, always willing to stop and have a chat and recommend places they are familiar with for visiting. We were there for our 50th wedding anniversary and they even gave us a card and chocolates! It is very convenient for visiting many of the lesser known lakes, and you even have red squirrels! We will very happily use this site again if we visit the Lake District. Thank you Brian and Sue! Ralph and Shirley

More like a CL

We booked for a fortnight in May. Never having stayed on a Club Site for that long we were rather apprehensive as we usually use the CLs. It was wonderful. Very quiet and peaceful. The best thing about the site is it looks so natural. Usually the club sites are manicured within an inch of their life! Not this one. The grass is left to grow and the range of wildflowers is beautiful so it blends in so well with the surroundings . The site is also an excellent location for exploring the North West Lake District. Loweswater, Ennerdale, Buttermere are all within easy reach, as is Cockermouth, Maryport, St Bees and Ravenglass. So much to see! And walking is good too. The wardens were brilliant. Friendly, but not intrusive and kept the site very tidy. So if you usually stay on a CL, I definitely would recommend Dockray meadow.

Terrific site.

Some people would say it's a bit off the beaten track, I say all the better for it. I was out all day cycling or walking around the hills, footpaths and Ennerdale water. I loved how quiet the site was in the evening and enjoyed the gurgling and babbling of the little stream next to my pitch. Listening to the tawny Owls as I settled down for the night was a delight. The staff keep this site in an unbelievably high standard of maintenance and organisation, I couldn't fault anything.

Peaceful place to recharge your batteries

As Motorhome owners and after a long journey we were keen to explore the locality on foot as much as possible. Having studied the site particulars we made sure we had a well stocked larder, fridge & bar! This is a perfect site to explore the quieter side of the Lake District. We hardly met a soul on our walks even in August. Cockermouth is well worth a visit with several independent shops and Riverside parks to picnic in. The Gather cafe at Ennerdale Bridge is exceptional and worth the windy roads. Didn't try the 2 adjacent pubs they looked lovely.

Warden to the rescue!

As new motorhomes, on our first trip, we chose Dockray Meadow based on its location, size and facilities such as motorhome service points. The location is lovely and peaceful, and site kept extremely clean and tidy. The dog exercise field with agility equipment is a bonus too. On our arrival the warden explained the site and facilities in detail for us. We settled in on our chosen pitch. We had a refillable gas system fitted by the dealership prior to purchasing our motorhome, together with the plumbing for a standard bottle too. We presumed (perhaps naively) that they had filled it with LPG. They hadn't. So, when the gas ran out midway through cooking our tea, the warden very kindly came to our rescue with a standard bottle. A lovely stay, assisted by friendly and helpful wardens. Thank you!

One of the best

A beautiful site servicing the NW of the Lake District. The balance of wild meadow area vs manicured lawn is just right and the wild flowers a welcome treat, Both sets of wardens we met during our 12 night stay were perfect for the job; really helpful and friendly but not intrusive. It is a shame that, like many others, the site closes before autumn will have finished because the woodlands and lakes will look at their very best at that time of year. A couple of warnings however, many of the pitches are uneven and you may need a lot of wheel chocks and corner-steady supports to level your outfit. Also, you may enjoy it so much that you lose track of time and accidentally stay an extra night!

Peaceful, some great walks

A lovely site, walk behind the site up to the lake. Take the logging road up the hill - the views are spectacular! Deer in the fields and noisy woodpecker chicks being fed close to the road. Will definitely be back.

Keep off the grass

It was a little out of the way you couldn’t just nip out for a coffee or food. Warden concerned about his grass., and loved being out regularly on his tractor. But on the plus side a quiet site so had restful evenings

Fabulous

We had three nights at Dockray Meadow on our way back from Scotland, would have loved to stay longer, the site is so peaceful and quiet, Lamplugh is on the edge of the National Park, ideally situated for eveything the Lakes has to offer, easy access, good size pitches and friendly, helpful wardens.
