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 in a 2 bedroom static with colleagues before our charity hike up Scafell. Lovely caravan in very good condition and very clean! Owner kindly left us the lights and heating on before our arrival which was nice. Facilities good no complaints. Very close to a pub which does nice food and drinks.

The hum

Rainsbury, David - 16/10/2025

2

The campsite was clean, tidy and spacious, and being divided into small fields could accommodate a lot of people without feeling too crowded.Showers and toilets were clean and adequate, though I was there in October. How the facilities would cope in busy periods is open to question.The biggest negative, and what really spoiled my stay was the noise from what I think was the water treatment plant. This penetrating hum was audible throughout the site. On my first night I was camped within 30 metres of it and it kept me awake for much of the night. In the morning I moved my tent to the farthest corner of the site. It was still clearly audible but just about possible to ignore.I live in a city and am accustomed to a level of background noise. One of the main reasons for visiting a place like Wasdale is peace and quiet. Sadly, I didn't find it at Church Stile campsite.

Perfect site with stunning scenery

Cairns, Debra - 16/10/2025

Lovely campsite, we stayed in a pod, the heater warms the pod quickly, plug sockets as well usb ports very handy. Picnic table outside and parking also very good. Clever lay out of the site with hedges and trees gives each area a cosy feel even though its a large site. Good sized campervan pitches. Facilities were clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Walks straight from the site. Pub nearby. The site wasn't over manicured which made it fit in with the surrounding scenery. We will definitely return.

Great base camp for Scaffell Pike

Tourtet, Remi - 11/10/2025

5

Really impressed with Church Stile Farm. Large site but very spacious pitch, good clean facilities. Well stock farm shop/reception. Only 20 mins easy from Wasdale for Scaffell Pike hike. Went in late September so quiet and peaceful, I don’t know how busy it would get in summer but still I expect it to be a great place to stay. Last but not least, there are a couple of pubs just by the entrance, went to the strand and was exactly what we needed after a hard day walk, good home made food, generous tasty portion and nice atmosphere.

Swimming in Wastwater

Mandale - 10/10/2025

4

Friendly and helpful staff. Overall the site was very tidy. Showers were on a timer, which could have been set just for a bit longer. Showers and toilets very clean, just the general building itself inside was looking a little tired. Handy location for an excellent pub and a cafe just another short walk away. Would definitely stay here again.

the site is in a brilliant location with great walks on the doorstep. Extremely friendly welcome and explanation of site and amenities.
