Eskdale Campsite sits low in the valley, within eight acres of meadow grassland surrounded by woodland, crags and waterfalls. On site you'll find toilets, showers, Wi-Fi, a laundry, shop and play area, alongside tents, campervans, motorhomes, pods and a bell tent. The operator highlights trails by the river and up through the fells to small mountain lakes, plus family-friendly village pubs a short stroll away. From the campsite, the popular Eskdale trail follows the Esk River past St Catherine's Church, continuing to Stanley Ghyll Force, a 60-foot waterfall. You can take a steam train from the Dalegarth for Boot station to the coast. Eskdale Mill is 0.1 miles away, with the Ravenglass Railway Museum 6.4 miles off, in the Lake District.
