Stonethwaite campsite is situated in the picturesque Borrowdale Valley. It offers an affordable rate of £8 per night. The track leading to the campsite can be challenging, but it can accommodate vehicles like the MWB Sprinter. If you have a larger vehicle, you can ask the farmer to open the gates. The campsite is conveniently located near beautiful walking trails and several places to swim in the nearby river. Additionally, there is a pub within walking distance.
I recommend this site. It costs £8 per adult per night and £4 for children. The drive up may be challenging for some and the motorhome point is tight, but the location is beautiful. The site is generally clean, except for the unusable toilets. I suggest bringing insect repellent and a head net for the evening due to the presence of insects.
This secluded location is a secret find! Although the road leading there may be a bit challenging, it's passable with a VW LT. The area offers ample parking space, access to fresh water, and a basic toilet facility. Plus, there's a lovely pub just a short walk away through the fields! It's a bonus that there is no phone signal, allowing for a peaceful retreat. Additionally, there's a beautiful trail that starts from the lower field, leading up to the Galleny Force waterfall and through the Valley.
