Pitch up at Derwentwater Camping and Caravanning Club Site; a quiet hillside campsite perfectly positioned at the gateway of the southern Lake District offering guests with mile upon mile of walking and cycling routes snaking through the verdant landscape. The rolling hills and peaks of the southern portion of Lake District are right at your doorstep, while the delights of the renowned Yorkshire Dales National Park is a smooth 30-minute drive away. Guests can enjoy the luxury of feeling like being away from it all, yet a short trot from the buzzing town of Kendal, boasting a fine array of shops, supermarkets, the must-see Abbot Hall Art Gallery, and two crumbling castles. The award-winning Quaker Tapestry Exhibition is also a must-see and worth a visit on your trip into town. Windermere rests an estimated 9-miles from the site, offering families and thrill-seekers excellent access to water-based antics. Bring your boats and launch them on the river, or enjoy an afternoon of canoeing, windsurfing, sailing and swimming. Head inland and explore famed routes like the World of Beatrix Potter at Bowness, offering the kids a chance to meet Peter Rabbit and his friends. The western shores of Claife Heights, a National Trust owned woodlands, is excellent for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting. Derwentwater Camping and Caravanning Club Site is suitable for tents, small campervans, motorhomes and caravans. Pets are welcome.
