Facilities

The Quiet Site is a family run campsite situated in a secluded position amongst the stunning fells that overlook Lake Ullswater. This is a superbly maintained and very picturesque site, the facilities being housed mainly in old converted farm buildings. There are many beautiful walks that you can start from right outside the Quiet Site and numerous activities and attractions a very short drive away.

The Quiet Site is in an ideal position for touring both the North and South Lakes by car. We are easily accessible from the M6 motorway – Junction 40 and the charming market town of Penrith, both of which are only 7 miles away. It’s not surprising that 80% of our visitors have stayed with us before. Facilities on the site include:

WiFi – usually available on all pitches. 5Mb/s.

Zero waste shop – no single use plastic here!

Low key children’s adventure playground set in its own field. Grass mounds, tunnels etc.

Children’s playroom adjacent to the bar with table football, air hockey etc.

Bar open for drinks every evening of the year. Open through the day as a lounge. Board games available. Pool table.

Drinks are served from either 4pm or 7pm. Please check at reception.

An extraordinary olde-worlde bar housed in an old barn, complete with large open log fire and pool table.

A fantastic map room showing Ullswater and the surrounding fells in a huge scale. Great for planning and reviewing days on the lake and fells.
