Conveniently located within Kendal, the gateway to the Lake District National Park, and on the banks of the beautiful River Kent, Kendal Club Campsite is so peaceful you'll never want to leave. Set within National Trust woodland, this campsite feels like a small slice of heaven - from the country lane approach running beside the tumbling river, to the quiet glades where you can pitch amongst the wild flowers. For those interested in local history, the campsite is also uniquely situated on the site of a 19th-century gunpowder mill.
Kendal Club Campsite lets you enjoy nature to the full, from the swoop of the fells to the luxurious blue of the lakes. There are several scenic walks to be had and don't forget to bring along your binoculars because the bird life is varied and colourful. If you're a wild flower enthusiast you won't be disappointed as you'll see a range of marvellous blooms on display, not least wild orchids. For those who enjoy the sport of fishing, the campsite also features a river that is popular amongst anglers (with a National River Licence). When you fancy a bite to eat, the nearby market town of Kendal is famous for its mint cake and trusted for its hearty meals. Nearby facilities including a farm shop, supermarket and cafe, enable you to conveniently stock up on supplies for your holiday.
