About Woodhead Farm Caravan Site & Certificated Location
A small, no-frills site on a working farm near Penrith, Woodhead Farm offers twelve pitches split between private bookings and a Caravan and Motorhome Club certificated location. The setting is peaceful and rural, with electric hook-ups, showers, toilets, and drinking water all on hand, plus it's open year-round for those who fancy off-season exploring. Its position puts you within easy reach of the northern Lakes while avoiding the tourist crush closer to the national park.
Worth noting that pets aren't allowed, so it's best suited to visitors without four-legged friends. The facilities are functional rather than fancy, but if you're after a quiet, affordable base for walking the fells or visiting Penrith, Ullswater, and the Eden Valley, Woodhead Farm does the job without fuss.

What visitors say
Stayed at Woodhead Caravan Park recently and honestly couldn’t fault the place, especially the toilet and shower facilities which were absolutely tip top from start to finish. Everything was kept immaculate with spotless shower cubicles, clean toilets, fresh-smelling washrooms and a clear sense that the park is very well cared for and maintained to a high standard. The showers were consistently hot, powerful and comfortable to use, and even during busier times the facilities remained exceptionally clean and tidy. What really stood out though was the hospitality from the owner, who greeted me after closing time and still took the time to make me feel genuinely welcome. That level of warmth and friendliness immediately set the tone for the stay and made a lasting impression. You can tell there’s real pride put into both the park itself and the experience guests have while staying there. A brilliant caravan park with fantastic facilities and a very welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Great CL site in a Perfect location for stopovers to and from Scotland, easy access to Lake District and Penrith, we stayed 3 nights in June 2026, excellent toilet and shower facilities, perfect hosts and price of £30 per night including electric and hard standing fully service pitch. Very peaceful, slight road noise from M6 but nothing to keep you awake, working farm so no yapping dogs which was a bonus! We would Definitely stay there again. Thank you.

A lovely campsite - they have a CAMC CL, commercial caravan site and glamping options. Also a fantastic en-suite shower block which was much appreciated :-) All pitches are hard standing with water and electric on pitch. We stayed here 7 years ago and it was great then but it’s even better now. For a CL, it’s quite pricey but you’re definitely still getting excellent value for money.

Friendly owners. Amazing views. Immaculate facilities. Pitches were clean and tidy with well kept grass. We had a problem with our towing lights when leaving. The owners and other holiday makers couldnt help us enough.
