Petite place de parking juste au bord de la rivière, sur une route B très fréquentée pendant la journée mais calme toute la nuit. Sol dur et joli niveau.

Little parking spot right on the river, on a busy B road during the day but quiet through the night. Hard ground and pretty level.

Kleiner Parkplatz direkt am Fluss, tagsüber an einer belebten B-Straße, aber nachts ruhig. Harter Boden und ziemlich eben.

    V good spot on the outskirts of town, right next to a river and road but was raining heavily so I couldn’t hear much else over that haha, lots of space

  • 4/5

    Good spot by the river. Room for 6/7 vans. Busy with walkers, other campers etc. Road quiet 8pm-7am. Not much signal. Fine for a night

  • 1/5

    No 4G on EE or 3, lots of traffic.

    Lovely spot next to the river ! Just a shame the noise from the road is pretty loud and a lot of cars passing. Signal is also pretty awful which I don't mind when I want some time away from working online. I stopped off in the evening but didn't stay due to being put off by road noise as its expected in the morning.

    Beautiful spot by the river. Fairly level and quiet at night. Will fit a 7.5m motor home under the trees. We were the only van overnight but the lay-by was pretty busy with cars until about 9pm. Quick early morning dip in the river too!

    Très bon emplacement, calme et facile à trouver ! Nous étions 4 vans et il restait encore de la place.

  • 5/5

    Very nice place overlooking the river, quiet at night except for the soothing water sound. I am a woman travelling alone and I felt very safe staying here, along with two other campers. Highly recommended!

    Geweldige plek. Bij een mooie rivier . redelijk veel verkeer tot ongeveer 20.30 uur. Daarna werd het rustiger. Mooie wandeling gemaakt langs de rivier. Zeker een aanrader.

  • 5/5

    Very nice location near the road but it is quiet during the evening enough for 7-8 vans. Nice lookout onto a stream full of baby ducklings and a friendly Robin. Would recommend

  • 4/5

    Small spot by the river, perfect for 1 night! Road a little busy, but quiet during the night!

  • 4/5

    Great location, can walk easily to Ambleside, and by a nice stream. Road quiet enough over night, bit busier in the morning. We got here early, but came back in the evening and was full of vans, so may be trickier to get a spot if you arrive later

    Nice spot, stopped easter Bank Holiday, was busy and all spaces taken. 1 mile walk into Ambleside. A bit of road noise at night, especially the 2 comedians sounding there horns in the early hours.

    Lovely site by a river

  • 4/5

    Super endroit, pas trop bruyant à côté de l'eau !

  • 3/5

    La zona es muy bonita, con un río y un sendero al lado, a pesar de ser en la carretera. Pasaron algun tractor y camión por la noche muy ruidosos. Se llega a Ambleside en 15min a pie, hay unos 100m de tramo por la carretera sin acera (cuidado si vas con niños/as o perros/as).

    Stayed here for a few nights with no bother. Cars parked up in day but very quiet at night. Lovely short walks to Skelwith Force and also to Loughrigg Tarn (stunning!). Calm, tidy, felt welcome in the spot.

    An sich ein schöner Platz und praktisch, wenn man in der Gegend einen Ausflug macht. Leider direkt an der Straße, an der schon ab ca. 6 Uhr früh regelmäßig Autos fahren. Untertags ist sie stark befahren.

  • 4/5

    Perfekt für eine Nacht. 5-6 Plätze. Die anliegende Straße ist kaum befahren. direkt am Fluss mit schöner Aussicht.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here this weekend perfect little spot. Fits about 4/5 cars on. Walking distance from all the local attraction spots

  • 5/5

    perfect for us as I did a run in Grasmere the next day, can only fit about 6-8 campers, right next to river & road, absolutely perfect, no disturbance at all☆☆☆☆

  • 4/5

    Nice little spot next to the river. No other campers, no disturbances. Only downside is no phone signal

  • 4/5

    Very pretty place, easy to reach and fairly low traffic. Very weak Internet signal. Stayed a Saturday night and it filled up with campervans even though it was January. Easy to understand why, I hope it won't be too difficult to use again in busier times of the year.

    Nice little spot by the river, defo advise reversing in as previous people have said as it’s on a bend in the road. Not bad signal on 3 network

  • 4/5

    Lovely location, found a space easy but this might be the time of the year, best to reverse into bay as it’s on a corner, reversing out could be difficult, right on the river bank

  • 3/5

    Nice spot by the river. Quiet at night but traffic woke us at 7:00. Five vans were here last night. No facilities nearby but OK for our first ‘wild camping’ stop.

  • 5/5

    Easy 20 min walk into Ambleside. It was full of camper vans by about 8pm. Would definitely stay here again, beautiful spot!

  • 5/5

    Good little parking spot near to the water fall and walking distance to Ambleside town centre. At night time and get a little noisy as the parking space is on a busy main road. When I parked there there was only one other motorhome present. Would definitely use again for its central location.

  • 2/5

    Lovely spot by the river but road very busy in the morning. 2 cars beeped...probably due to the fact there were 6 MHs/vans in this small village layby. Moved on before breakfast.

  • 3/5

    Not a bad place for a stop over. No signal on EE or 3. Pretty river but that’s about all. Nice walk into Ambleside and a few trails nearby but bike trails mostly.

  • 5/5

    Good spot next to river. Stayed one night no issues.

  • 4/5
