Welcome

 When we found Kestrel Lodge we instantly fell in love with the area; the fells, the village, the lake, wildlife, views, walks…trust me, I could go on for days. We wanted to create a traditional camping ground with all the essentials, and a few home comforts thrown in for good measure. A good, hot shower, a covered area for rainy days and a place to clean muddy boots, canine friends, a bike or two…and if the kids protest a shower too much, there’s always a hose pipe attached.

At Kestrel Lodge Campsite we include a firepit with every pitch, because we know there is nothing nicer than relaxing around a roaring fire underneath the stars after a busy day out on the fells, toasting a marshmallow, and chillin’ with the fam. We found Kestrel Lodge and fell in love…we really hope you do too.

We're all looking forward to meetings you soon.

    2024 is already shaping up to be a Cracker!!!

    First things first.... Happy New Year everyone! From all the family at Kestrel Lodge we hope it brings you everything you hope for, all you deserve and lots and lots of jolly good fun on the side. And with that said, I'll move on to Louise's cameo role... (throw in a Rita Hayworth head toss and a few 'Dahlings' here and there and you've just about it...)
