Cross Dormont Camp Site

Cross Dormont is a family-run, back-to-basics campsite situated on a working hill farm within the Lake District National Park, with pastures skirting the southern shores of Ullswater.

The site lies near Howtown, on the road between Pooley Bridge and Howtown, and offers up to 50 pitches for tents and motorhomes across a sloping main field.

The surrounding landscape makes it a practical base for hill-walking, cycling, mountain biking, fishing, and sailing, with open views of the lake and fells. Pooley Bridge, a short distance away, provides shops, cafés, and pubs.

Campfires are not permitted, and a two-night minimum stay applies. The tariff remains consistent throughout the year with no seasonal price increases.
