A campsite near Kendal
About Frost Hole
Tucked down a quiet farm track just outside Staveley, this pop-up site offers wild grass pitches against a backdrop of mountains and fells in the Lake District National Park. It's gloriously off-grid and wonderfully simple – portable loos, outdoor showers, and space to pitch wherever takes your fancy. On clear evenings you're treated to blazing sunsets, and after dark the lack of light pollution reveals stellar night skies that make the basic facilities feel entirely beside the point.
Frost Hole sits at the crossroads of scenic footpaths, bridleways and mountain biking trails, making it ideal for walkers and cyclists keen to explore. Staveley village is a 10-minute drive away for bakeries, pubs and shops, plus there's a train station with connections to Kendal and Windermere. It's a peaceful, remote retreat for anyone craving simplicity and solitude – though the facilities are understandably basic for a site of this kind.

Had a week stay in the sheep pen @onceuponafell. Couldn’t ask for much more. Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful and tranquil stay. The hut was full with everything we needed. The drinking water is filtered and fresh, plenty of wood around for fires, cooler box with fresh ice packs everyday to keep food cold. Lovely organic cleaning products along with hand wash body wash etc provided…Fresh milk cheese and eggs on site to buy which was a life saver. Plenty of things to do around the area. Easy to get to the lakes and the dales with lots of beautiful towns in-between. Pam couldn’t do enough for us and was happy to help anytime we needed her. We will definitely be returning and I can’t wait till we do. Thank you again for our perfect week away. 🌿❤️

This campsite was absolutely stunning! We stayed in a private field, and it felt like our own haven. The little covered kitchen with cooking hob and sink, the compost toilet and hot shower all to ourself was so much more luxurious than campsites with shared facilities. The fact we were allowed a bbq and fire pit (provided by them) made the evenings so lovely. There was even a hammock to relax in and picnic tables. We stayed as a couple but you could fit multiple groups in the field which we will definitely look to do in future. It’s so well placed with gorgeous walks and scenery literally out of the gate. And a short drive to lakes etc. Absolutely amazing gem of a find, recommend to everyone!

What a beautiful place, and we had it all to ourselves. We booked a variety of accommodation to fit our family group. It was great for the dogs that had a secure fenced off area. The farm felt apart of the experience and we loved the green ethos of the site. Walks on your doorstep with views to die for, everyone loved it! Pam is very welcoming and we felt right at home. I don't think I could go back to a big campsites after this. We will be back!

Fantastic! We have spend a long weekend with two boys and it was absolutely perfect! The camp site was clean, peaceful and quiet, super spacious, plenty of room for the kids to run around and play and go wild. The bell tent was just the right size and had very comfortable mattresses to sleep on, it was super comfortable! On the cooler nights we closed the "windows" and the tent remained nice and warm. The boys loved the hammock and the campfire and barbecue was a fantastic entertainment. Waking up to fresh air and misty hills was just gorgeous and in the warm evening we star gazed and saw a shooting star. The kitchen was perfect and the toilet/shower was as well. It was perfect for a wild weekend.
