Camping and Touring Pitches

 

All our pitches have lovely views over the surrounding fells.  Some pitches have lake views.

Pitches are mostly reserved in advance, especially at busy times.  To check availability and for general enquiries please email info@thequietsite.co.uk

All our pitches have a pea gravel,  all-weather surface (so no pitches are all grass) – Rock pegs may be required and can be purchased or borrowed in our Zero Waste Shop.

Ground Sheets may be purchased or borrowed from our shop if you do not wish to pitch directly onto the pea gravel surface.

The Quiet Site is situated between Little Mell Fell and Ullswater. The views have a real alpine feel: look west at Helvellyn, England’s favourite mountain,  east for the Pennines and south over Ullswater for Barton, Hallin and Place Fells.

We have three types of camping and touring pitches at The Quiet Site:

  • All-weather fully serviced pitches for caravans, tents, trailer tents and motorhomes (They come in both Large and Standard-size pitches. The standard-sized pitches are available in both family friendly or adults only fields)
  • All-weather electric pitches for smaller tents, roof tents, small motorcaravans or VWs (These come only as Standard size pitches)
  • All-Weather fully serviced pitches for roof tents and VW sized motorcaravans
  • All-weather electric pitches in our Adults Only field, for smaller tents, roof tents, small motorcaravans or VWs (These are available as family friendly or adults only and come as Standard size only  pitches)
 

Our Camping and touring fields also accommodate our Glamping CabinsGlamping BurrowsGingerbread Houses and Camping Pods.

All pitches have 10KWh of electric included in the pitch fee for each 24-hour period.   Excess electricity used is charged at 29p/KWh.  Read in the ‘Electric Hookup Guide’ below how to register.
