Fisherground Campsite sits right in the heart of Eskdale, one of Cumbria's loveliest valleys in the Lake District, on the quieter western side where the pace is gentle and peaceful. On site you'll find an adventure playground with a slide, tyre swings, monkey bars, cargo nets and a zip wire, plus rafts on the pond, a tree house and an adventure course for children. It's one of the few Lake District campsites where you can enjoy an open campfire in the in situ fire pits, so bring your marshmallows and toasting forks. Recently rebuilt toilet blocks include a family shower room, a wet room, and a laundry room. The nearest village shop is a short drive away, and Ravenglass for Eskdale station is about 4.8 miles from the campsite.
