Braithwaite Fold
Braithwaite Fold
Braithwaite Fold (now also known as Bowness on Windermere) is a Camping and Caravanning Club site situated on the south-eastern shore of Lake Windermere in the heart of the Lake District, Cumbria.
The compact, four-acre site offers 66 hardstanding pitches and is geared toward caravans and motorhomes; tents are not accepted.
The location is a key draw: the shores of Windermere are just steps away, and the bustling town of Bowness-on-Windermere is roughly a five-minute walk, putting cafes, restaurants, shops, and galleries within easy reach without needing a car.
From the lake itself, visitors can sail, windsurf, canoe, or take a traditional steamboat cruise to take in the surrounding fells. Walkers will also find direct access to the wider Lake District trail network.
