About The Larches Caravan Park
Tucked away near Mealsgate in the north Cumbrian countryside, The Larches Caravan Park is a quiet, adults-only retreat that's earned a loyal following among those seeking a simpler kind of escape. All thirty pitches come fully serviced—half on hardstanding, half on grass—and facilities are well-kept, from spotless showers to convenient waste disposal points. Dogs are welcome, and while there's no Wi-Fi, that's rather the point: this is a place to disconnect, unwind, and enjoy the peace.
The site's enthusiastic reviews praise its immaculate condition, friendly welcome, and genuine tranquillity, making it ideal for couples or solo travellers who value a calm atmosphere. You're well-positioned for the northern Lakes, the Solway Coast, and Carlisle, yet The Larches itself feels wonderfully removed from the bustle—a straightforward, well-run site that does the essentials exceptionally well.

What visitors say
I had a pump failure and major water leak in our motorhome. Judith at the Larches was brilliant and very helpful. She identified the part I needed and had it ready and waiting for me. Excellent and very friendly service.

We stayed here for 3 nights and the park & views were amazing. Chris & Judith very sociable that run the site.. own shower room/toilet per pitch albeit a little dated but very clean and it's yours! Good place to stop if you fancy a trip into Keswick.. we loved the freedom the site gave us. . Stunning views ..

We loved our stay! We have a nervous dog which we prewarned Judith about and she couldn't be more understanding. We were greeted warmly on arrival and shown to our pitch which was a large corner pitch with lovely views and more importantly away from others. The showers are hot, clean and in individual cubicles so no queues to use. We would wholeheartedly stay again. Judith and family - thank you so much!
