Stretton House Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents6 acres · England
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

Campsites near Grizedale guide

Overview

Right in the heart of Cumbria, Grizedale beckons campers with its renowned Grizedale Forest that provides a tranquil camping experience amidst verdant woodlands. Nearby, Lake Windermere invites campers to indulge in water activities and lakeside relaxation. For those seeking a challenging hike, the mighty Scafell Pike stands tall, offering intrepid campers the chance to conquer England's highest peak and relish in awe-inspiring vistas from its summit. Camp across Cumbria amidst the trees or lakeside in well-maintained tent pitches and caravan sites with facilities such as electric hookups, showers, fire pits, picnic areas, and modern restroom facilities. Or go glamping for the night in shepherd’s huts, yurts, and cabins.

Where to go

Grizedale Forest

Embrace the nearby beauty of Grizedale Forest and spend the night in a tent, caravan, or cabin amidst the lush canopy of trees. Explore the forest's network of walking and biking trails, such as the popular Grizedale Tarn Trail or Silurian Way, to view contemporary art sculptures throughout the area. Adventure seekers can try their hand at Go Ape, an exhilarating treetop adventure course, or explore the forest on segways or horses. After a day of exploration, retire to a local family-run forest campsite equipped with essential amenities, including clean facilities, picnic areas, and electric hookups for added comfort. Woodland cabin rentals with private hot tubs are also available.

Lake Windermere

A short drive away lies Windermere Lake—the largest natural lake in England. Go boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, or sailing to appreciate the Lake District’s tranquil beauty. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakefront, or explore nearby trails such as Orrest Head circular trail, providing views of the lake and surrounding fells. For a more relaxed experience, hop on a Lake Windermere cruise. Nearby lakeside camping sites offer pitches with various amenities, including access to clean facilities and picnic areas.
