Church Stile Farm & Holiday Park | Lake District Campsite

Covid-19

We are open from Saturday 4th July.  Due to the coronavirus pandemic we have introduced additional policies so that Church Stile is able to re-open and for all visiting or working here to be as safe as is possible. Please read this notice carefully as we are all dependent on one another for our wellbeing during the current pandemic. We are asking everyone coming to Church Stile to behave with due consideration for others, to follow the well-publicised government guidelines and if individuals are found to act in an inconsiderate manner, which potentially puts others at risk, they are likely to be asked to leave.

The number of pitches has been reduced to about 50% of normal capacity to enable greater spacing between tents or motorhomes and to reduce pressure on the facilities block.  NO GROUPS OF MORE THAN 6 PEOPLE

Pre-arrival

Do not travel if you or any of your household have symptoms of covid-19, however mild. Contact us and we will transfer your booking to another date. If you develop symptoms while here please notify us on 01946726252 and return home.

ALL non-electric pitches must be paid for in full at least 48 hours prior to arrival to minimise contact time at check-in. For electric hook up pitch, caravan, pod and shepherd hut reservations payment dates are as you have already been advised.

On arrival 

You MUST report to reception PRIOR to going on to the park (one person from each pitch booked). Failure to do so may result in you being asked to leave.

The reception and shop will operate on a one in-one out basis. Please be patient and we will get you on site as quickly as possible.

Please ensure you pitch on the electric hook-up pitch allocated or, if on non-electric, in the field to which you have been allocated. If in doubt check with a member of staff. If you pitch elsewhere you will be asked to move. Pitch considerately with a 5m space between tents.

Arrivals are between 2pm and 8pm. To allow for traffic problems the park gate will remain open until 9pm. If you are going to be late telephone 019467 26252. There will be NO arrivals allowed on site after 9pm under any circumstances. Please plan your journey accordingly and allow plenty of time.

Facilities Block

If you have a motorhome or are staying in a static caravan which have shower and toilet facilities, please use these rather than the general facilities block.

Hand sanitiser will be outside all entrances at the facilities block. Please use it prior to entry and on exit.

The facilities block will be open, but you may have to wait longer to use them. Distancing measures will be in place as far as possible. Windows and the entrance door will be open to increase ventilation. Do not close them. Please be considerate to your fellow campers when moving around and shower and wash as quickly as possible wiping down surfaces after yourself. We will leave cleaning products for your own use.

The Laundry will operate on a one in-one out basis. The freezer is not permitted to be used at this time.

Washing up sinks (outside) will be open.

Please wash your hands regularly or use sanitiser.

Children aged 12 and under must always be accompanied in the facilities block.

There will be regular cleaning throughout the day, but the facilities block will be closed for a deep clean during the following times:

5am to 5.30am; 11am until 12 noon; 4pm to 4.30pm

Please stagger your showering times as far as possible to minimise waiting times/queues at the usual peak times.

Play Park

The play park and ball area will be open. Children must be accompanied to ensure physical distancing is maintained. Children must always be supervised when off the pitch.

Consideration for others on site and the wider local community

Please recognise the concerns of local residents about virus spread and observe the government guidelines applicable from 4 July. We suggest that where possible you continue to observe the 2-meter physical distancing guideline as it is safer.

If you are outside, you can meet in groups of up to 6 people. You can also meet in groups of up to two households, indoors or outdoors, however, you should still socially distance from anyone not in your household. If you are in any doubt, please refer to www.gov.uk

No visitors are permitted on site.

The site shop will be open but with restricted access, reduced opening times and offering.

Please help the local economy and choose local businesses before the national chains if possible.

Please remember there is a strict no noise after 11pm policy.

We trust you understand why we have issued these additional measures and above all enjoy your stay and the surrounding countryside. If we can help in any way simply contact reception, call us on 01946726252 or ask a member of staff when we are around the site.

These guidelines may be altered as the situation changes. We are in constant touch with Industry Bodies.

Situated in the heart of Wasdale, arguably Cumbria’s most majestic valley, Church Stile Holiday Park and Campsite offers visitors the most spectacular location from which to explore and enjoy the Lake District.

We offer a diverse range of family friendly options for your stay including camping pitches, electric hook-ups, hardstanding pitches for motorhomes and campervans, static caravans to rent, static caravans to buy, or why not try ‘glamping’ and stay in one of our traditional Shepherd’s Huts combining luxury camping with an age-old custom.

Nestling in an idyllic oak woodland setting on a traditional Lakeland sheep farm, the area is a haven for wildlife with stunning views to the mountains. Yet the pretty village of Nether Wasdale with its 2 wonderful country inns serving hearty meals and fine ales, is only a two minute stroll away.

Wasdale is home to England’s deepest lake, highest mountain and smallest church and yet the wonderful beaches on Cumbria’s coastline are only a few miles distant. Whether you wish to simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this unspoilt valley or take advantage of the many opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling and kayaking or visit some of West Cumbria’s many attractions, Church Stile is your perfect location.
