Herdwick Croft Caravan Park

Herdwick Croft Caravan Park is a small and welcoming family-run site just 2 miles away from the village of Bassenthwaite and Bassenthwaite Lake, which is popular for paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing and canoeing. Keswick on Derwentwater is just 8 miles away, and the park is just 5 miles from Cockermouth. Surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the Lake District National Park, we offer a touring and camping site, a self-catering cottage and luxurious lodges.

Herdwick Croft is within 3 miles of Skiddaw and close to the northern fell of Binsey, so walkers have a good selection of trails on the doorstep. The North Lakeland fells are renown for the quality and variety of the walks from gentle strolls to epic day adventures. There are grass and hardstanding pitches for motorhomes, trailer tents and touring caravans, with electric and fully-serviced pitches available. Children, dogs and rallies are welcome at this park and there are well-maintained shower block amenities and a launderette.

The luxury 4-berth lodges are situated on the edge of the park and all equipped with a comfortable living space, dishwasher and coffee machine in the kitchen, en suite master bedroom, twin bedroom, a bathroom and hot tub. There is also Herdwick View Cottage, which was originally part of the Armathwaite Hall Estate. This beautiful holiday home for 8 features a Smart TV, equipped kitchen, 4 en suite bedrooms including one on the ground floor and a private garden with hot tub.
