Why not try something different!

Our Tipi Tents are available from May until the end of September and have uninterrupted views of the river Eden. The Tipis are made from cotton and have a raised decking area.

We ask that no cooking is done inside the Tipi and any barbecues must be on the Grass, not on the decking.

You need to bring everything to camp but not the tent. There is an electric supply to the Tipi, but no heating or lighting is provided.

Check in from 3pm, and we ask you to leave your Tipi by 11am on the day of departure.

We would appreciate the traditional way of removing shoes when entering the Tipi, and please leave it as you found it.

Sorry no dogs or candles are allowed inside our Tipis.

Couldn't fault it

Stayed as part of a large group with 14 kids aged 1-11. The site was perfect for us. There was loads of space for the kids to play and it felt very safe. Although the owner said it was one of the busiest weekends of the year, it didn't feel crowded and we really appreciated that. the facilities were ample and well looked after. Staff SO friendly and although we didn't have any issues I really felt that if we had, they would have been dealt with promptly. Location is great - lovely walks along the river. We really hope to be back!

Excellent location and friendly staff

Have stayed here quite often with both our tent and touring caravan for the last 18 years. Beautiful location, stunning views. Other family members and various friends have visited with us on many occasions who have been impressed too.Shower facilities are good and kept clean but be early for showers as can get quite busy at times.WiFi room recently built which is great for kids and a little honesty shop selling amazing local cakes and treats.Only 1 mile to the 2 local pubs, village shop a another mile to pub and Co-op, plus train station which runs Settle-Carlisle service.Only 8 miles into Penrith or 15 into Carlisle by car.Will continue to visit no doubt in the future, depending on availability as pitches get booked up quite quickly.

Our experience at mains farm was perfect, the weather was outstanding and hot with crisp mornings, was our 1st trip away with our puppy Milo, the walks there was great especially along the river. Pub was only about a mile walk which was good for us. Great pitches with electric and very clean. Really looking forward to be going back there again this year, thanks guys for a super stay and will see you again soon 💯👌🏻👍🏻🙂
