A haven of peace and tranquility. Bought a caravan here almost 2 years ago and we spend as much time here as we possibly can. The best decision we’ve ever made. Stunning views, spacious plots, friendly people. Dog friendly, grandchildren love coming here. Home from home, well managed site, kept beautifully. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

We bought our caravan on this beautiful site a year ago now. I can honestly say it’s the best money we have spent in a long time. The site is so relaxing and tranquil looking over the tarn. Everyone is so friendly. Rose and Stuart the managing couple are just amazing. Nothing is a trouble to them, they are kind, very efficient and just genuinely lovely people. If you want a getaway heaven, then this is it.

We have recently bought a holiday home at North Lakes Country Park and as was overwhelmed by the efficiency and warmth of Rose. The views across the Tarn are majestic and the peace and quiet make this park the ideal weekend retreat. What has topped it off for us is the walks along the nearby beaches , would highly recommend buying a holiday home here

Thank you so much for leaving the review, I will pass this on to Rose, she will be delighted that you've taken the time to do this and appreciate her hard work. Kind regards Karl.
Great site away from the hustle and bustle of the lakes but close enough for a visit.Close to the Solway coast. Visit Silloth on Solway, quaint Victorian resort!, Martin white
