We are a Visit Britain 5 Star holiday park set in the beautiful Lune Valley just over the River Lune less than a mile from Kirkby Lonsdale. The park is well laid out in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with a number of hardstanding pitches for tourers, secluded camping/Wigwam field, self-catering flat, and over 80 pitches for holiday homes and Lodges. The outlying fields provide habitats for a rich variety of animals, birds, flora and fauna.
