Alan Rogers Review of Camping at Cardewlees
Camping at Cardeelees is on a small, working farm with stunning views of the fells. It is open all year. Dog and family friendly, it is family run and nice and close to historic Carlisle for fun day trips. The Lake District is in striking distance and be sure to bring some marshmallows for toasting over the campfire back at base. The site has been in the Glaister family for over 100 years, and they really enjoy sharing their home with guests and can often be found pottering around the site chatting to campers. There are no predetermined pitches, but it's all about giving visitors the freedom to choose. In total you will find 5 fully serviced caravan bays and 10 electric pitches suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes. The site also has 3 glamping pods available to hire.
The village’s play areas and public swimming pool mean you might even be able to tempt kids along for a wander too, the river setting is excellent for rambling. The Cumbria Way ends at Carlisle and runs through Dalston, so you could join the 70-mile long-distance trail here. Cycle paths are also strewn through the local landscapes for long or short rides. Before you head off for the day, fill up on breakfast prepared by the site’s owners; just check it’s available when you arrive.
