Glamping

Park Cliffe sits on the side of Moor How on the quiet eastern side of Windermere, about three miles from Bowness. Tents go on the open Fellside slope, with a few electric pitches in the Ghyllside field across the lane, and tourers and motorhomes use landscaped hardstanding pitches. Pods, a shepherd's hut and static caravans cover the glamping and holiday-home end. A separate section holds privately owned caravans and lodges.

There is a shop, a bar and breakfast kitchen on seasonal hours, a games room, an adventure playground, private bathrooms for hire, EV charging and free Wi-Fi across the park. The Caravan and Motorhome Club took over running the site in 2026, and non-members can book.

Campfires are not allowed but raised BBQs are. Dogs are welcome in most pods and certain statics. Bookings are for couples and families, and groups need to ring first.
