About Howdy Glamping and Campsite
Planted two decades ago, this secluded woodland has matured into a wildlife haven where guests can immerse themselves in the rustling canopy and forest sounds. Howdy offers both tent and campervan pitches alongside its yurts and cabins, all sharing access to composting loos, showers and a communal firepit for evenings under the stars. Reviewers consistently praise the warm welcome and thoughtful touches that transform a stay into something special, though facilities are purposefully simple to preserve the back-to-nature atmosphere.
The site sits on the edge of Great Strickland, where the village pub – claiming to be the friendliest in the Eden Valley – serves real ales and traditional food in its beer garden. Walkers have trails threading out from the doorstep, with the Lake District National Park just 15 minutes' drive and the North Pennines AONB half an hour away. Penrith, 20 minutes down the road, covers all practical needs, while nearby lakes and crags offer kayaking and climbing for the more adventurous.

What visitors say
We celebrated a 50th birthday at Howdy Glamping and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The Party Barn was such a fantastic space for bringing everyone together, and the yurts/dwellings in the woods were absolutely beautiful — cosy, stylish, and full of thoughtful personal touches that made the whole weekend feel really special. Andri and Tom were incredible hosts from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to help with everything we needed. One of the highlights was Andri taking the time to show us a beautiful wild swimming spot nearby, which made the experience even more memorable. We made memories that will genuinely last a lifetime. If you’re looking for an authentic, welcoming, and genuinely special venue, look no further than Howdy Glamping — it’s an absolute gem. Thank you Andri and Tom.

Stayed in Yukhti with my girlfriend and dog, would highly recommend the setting is built within a beautiful peaceful rainforest planted by the owner many years ago. Warm reception on arrival and luxurious amenities with extras thrown in by the owners. Not far from Penrith and in such a relaxing location. Interior was quirky and stylish, very comfortable, dishes, pans, cooking facilities with private toilet and outside fire pit. See you guys again very soon! Ultimate cool stay, you will not regret it ! Thanks a lot

Great place for a quiet break from the hustle and bustle of life. Ingenious accommodation in a shady glen in the woods. Everything you need just relax (you can even order your food delivered from the local supermarket). Andri was great with a local tip for wild swimming just what we needed. Do yourself a favour and book!

We love coming to this magical woodland wonderland, every season has different aspects which bring joy. We have just stayed in the woodland, full of wild flowers, fairy lights and wonders. Such a wonderful place, and it feels like a privilege to know about this hidden Jem, just on the outskirts of the Lake District. A quirky, cosy, family orientated atmosphere, with clean and luxurious accommodation. Absolutely love love love 🥰 would highly recommend a night away here 🙊
