About River Gilpin at Valley End Certificated Location
Tucked just inside the Lake District National Park's southern edge, this intimate five-pitch Caravan and Motorhome Club certified location offers a genuinely peaceful stopover with surprisingly complete facilities. Each gravel touring pitch comes with full services – electric, water and waste – plus views across the Gilpin Valley, while shared amenities include a smart, spacious shower and toilet block, wifi and an outdoor washing-up area.
Location is the real draw here: you're within easy reach of the A590 yet far enough from road noise to enjoy the tranquillity, and the excellent village pub (serving locally sourced food) sits practically next door. Levens village is a mile away, historic houses including Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle are close by, and Windermere's shores are a quick fifteen-minute drive. Several walking trails start locally, making this a solid base for exploring the southern Lakes without the crowds – though with only a handful of pitches, booking ahead is essential.
