River Gilpin at Valley End near Kendal is a five-pitch certified location for tents, caravans and motorhomes with full services, wifi and valley views, welcoming dogs. ## 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.
