Park Cliffe Camping & Caravan Park is located within four miles of the centre of the lakes at Bowness-on-Windermere in spectacular open and unspoilt countryside, set in 25 acres with unrivalled breathtaking views. It is important that when planning your visit to Park Cliffe you approach from the direction of Newby Bridge as there is a very steep turn from the main road which should be avoided. Please also avoid using satellite navigation systems to reach Park Cliffe as they tend to direct you along country lanes and via a ford. Please follow these directions . Park Cliffe has both touring pitches, camping pitches and privately owned holiday homes. The park has both tarmac and gravel roads with clearly marked speed bumps. Please drive with care and consideration, observing the 10mph speed limit. The touring pitches are gravel hardstanding with a 10amp electric hook-up, drinking water and waste drainage. Most are level pitches, a few are set in an elevated position. The roads around the touring park are gravel, all pitches have parking alongside the caravans. We have two camping areas for tents. The first, Ghyll Side, allows you to reserve your pitch, some are available with a 6amp electric hook-up. This area is across a minor road from the main park. The second area, Fell Side, offers magnificent views down the lake towards the Langdales and across to Coniston Old Man. Fell Side is undulating and sloping in places and may not be suitable for people who find walking difficult.
