This idyllic retreat is more than just a destination; it's a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and adventure. At Church Stile, the team pride themselves on creating a family-friendly environment that caters to all, providing an array of accommodation options, including camping, glamping, and self-catering holidays.

Surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Wasdale, arguably Cumbria’s most majestic valley, Church Stile Farm offers a unique opportunity for visitors and guests to reconnect with nature while enjoying the modern comforts and conveniences that make for an unforgettable getaway.

The diverse options for stays include camping pitches, electric hook-ups, hardstanding pitches for motorhomes and campervans, static caravans to rent, and glamping in one of Church Stile's traditional Shepherd’s Huts that combine luxury camping with an age-old custom.

With stunning views to the Screes mountain range, the Church Stile site covers about 7 acres in total and provides a large level camping ground for pitches for up to 85 tents.

Shepherd’s Huts reflect the style of a 19th century Victorian hut. They provide a wonderful alternative to camping in a tent. Romantic and cosy, Shepherd’s Huts are the perfect place to snuggle up after a day enjoying the fresh Cumbrian air.

Church Stile's Holiday Caravans are accessible for weekly rental or brief getaways at rates tailored to suit all budgets. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the familiar comforts of a home away from home within the fully equipped caravans, situated in one of the nation's most picturesque regions.

Church Stile Farm & Holiday Park is fully equipped with all the modern amenities you expect to find at a stylish camping ground. Including a children's play area with swings and climbing frames, picnic tables, washroom facilities.

The onsite reception building is home to a little farm shop that is stocked with everyday essentials such as bread, baked beans, local milk and eggs. It also stocks the items that guests may have forgotten such as tin openers, toothbrushes and tent pegs. There is a small range of camping gear also available including walking poles, camping gas, chairs, socks, etc.

We also stock some local produce such as Unsworth pies, Appleby Creamery cheeses; Woodall's bacon and sausages; not to mention Mawson's ice cream which is a well deserved treat after a long walk on the fells.

The shop serves tea & coffee, homemade cakes and takes orders for packed lunches. There is outdoor covered seating provided with WiFi available.

Wasdale boasts England's deepest lake, highest mountain, and smallest church and yet, the beautiful beaches along Cumbria's coastline are just a short distance away. Whether you seek the serenity of this untouched valley or want to explore various activities such as walking, climbing, cycling, and kayaking, or visit the numerous attractions in West Cumbria, Church Stile is the ideal destination for you.

Stayed at Church Stile several times before COVID, usually at Easter. Well maintained, toilet block always clean, hot showers, drying room/laundry. Shop and cafe as well. However, for me, the best experience is in the evening, if sky is clear of clouds, Wastwater Screes glow red/pink in the evening sun.A lovely place to stay with friendly, helpful staff.

Well appointed site in great location.

Devereux-Booth, Graham - 07/04/2024

5

Staff were friendly and helpful at checkin. There is a camp shop selling essentials, but can't comment on that as we didn't need to use it. Washing and toilet facilities are up to par with free showers, and there is a laundry. Many great walks are available straight from the site and meals/drinks are available In the nearby Strands pub.

Lovely friendly site

Greenwood, Sara - 07/04/2024

5

It’s an attractive, well-maintained site in a beautiful location. The staff at the shop/reception were friendly and helpful and I felt safe at all times. The toilet/shower block was spotless and warm with plenty of hot water, but there is only one so it might be a bit crowded at busier times.

Good but not the best

Winnard, Lewis - 06/04/2024

4

The site in general was nice, we was put on a field away from everybody thankfully. The shop it’s very expensive with limited choices; the whole fire pit hire with £10 per bag of fire wood was ridiculous.That being said the location is in the middle of nowhere, actually the best thing you want to go camping so that’s good, but there is one pub across the road and that’s it, not a good pub at all really. We would recommend church stile farm & holiday park to people but consider having a really good look around at other places before making your decision.

Family friendly great location

Butterworth, Tamara - 05/04/2024

The campsite is located in a superb location for access to Scarfell and neighbouring fells.Priced fairly, the site offers clean amenities and friendly staff.The local pub only accepts card payments which was a little off putting for my partner who like to deal in cash but other than this, we had a lovely stay.

Fabulous long weekend stay

Smith, Sarah - 05/04/2024

4

We used the campsite as a base to climb Scafell Pike which is ideal as Wastdale car park is only a 20 minute drive. Wast Water is in walking distance and there are plenty of lovely walks accessible straight from the campsite including Whin Rig and Illgill Head. The campsite itself is fantastic, surrounded by gorgeous mountains and greenery. The pizza’s sold at the on site van were delicious, make sure you pre book! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The toilet block was consistently clean and tidy. We are already planning another trip here.
