Pod
1 Bedroom
Sleeps 4
Max 2 pets
From £70 per night

Our brand new camping pods are timber built and insulated, taking away the stress of packing and unpacking a tent. The family pods can comfortably sleep 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults (dimensions 2.7m x 4.4m). They have double glazed doors and window, electricity and a wall heater.

The pods are completely empty so you will need to bring camping gear, minus the tent. However, there is a picnic bench outside the pod.

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.

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.

Things To Do while glamping in Wasdale in the Lake District

Wasdale is one of the big mountain valleys of the Lake District with the stunning scenery making a wonderful backdrop for your glamping holiday. The valley is home to England’s highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake (Wastwater) and smallest church (St Olaf’s). Church Stile lies at the heart of the valley in the pretty village of Nether Wasdale making it the ideal base for your holiday.

Wasdale offers wonderful walks both on the high fells and valley bottom. Wasdale head is nearby leading to Scafell Pike (977 m) and Great Gable (899 m) while others such as Yewbarrow and Kirk Fell are also easily reached.

Lying just 1 mile from Church Stile, Wastwater Lake, England’s deepest lake allows kayaks, canoes and rowing boats. There are numerous places to picnic or swim. The view across the lake was voted ‘Britain’s Best View’ in 2009.

1st Class Site & Facilities

We booked two nights in a Pod at short notice and were not disappointed, we enjoyed our short stay and will certainly be back again next year for a weekend or more. My only negative feedback is that this site does not offer single night stays for campervans with electricity - this is a deal breaker for many of our multi-location activity weekends where we need to stay in different locations for single nights.Overal: I highly reccomend this Site for weekend or multi-day stays.As a bonus, there are a couple of great pubs on the doorstep.

pod camping

Digby, Fiona - 03/09/2024

It was a return visit to Church Stile. The pod was very clean and so were the toilet/ shower facilities. However the pods next door appear to have been taken over by a very large family ( 4 adults? 4 children? 2 dogs) and they were quite noisy and the children were playing around our pods with a ball etc. The site was not as quiet as we remembered it.

Thank you for your email review.Sorry to hear about your noicy neighbours, It would apear they might of been an undisclosed group. We do vet all our groups including family groups so they are aware of the site rules about noice etc, Its a shame this was not brought to one of the wardens attention while you were on site so we could have delt will the issue at the time.

Nice site

This is my 3rd stay at churchstile. Staff are very friendly and helpful.The pod I stayed in, pod 2, had no gravel path and parking for this particular pod was opposite as opposed to the other 2 pods having parking alongside. As no gravel path and wet ground, my feet were quite soggy walking with belongings from the car...a couple of bags of stone down to create a path to the door would be beneficial? A fly net at doors would be great!Showers themselves were reasonably clean however above the entrance inside above the window, full of dead flies and biddies! Showers could have been hotter but warm enough, the push button system for the Showers saves on water wastage but you do have to keep pushing the button every 20 seconds or so. Annoying.Surrounding area is beautiful. Very scenic with couple of pubs and a coffee shop nearby. But that's about it. Nearest shop approx 6 miles away.Shop on site is well stocked but quite pricey for some things...bread £3! Cigarettes 100%

Great Holiday in the hills

Gordon, Philip - 16/07/2024

What a wonderful holiday and site! my son and I really enjoyed our stay here. Great facilities that were clean and modern, wonderful camping pod and friendly staff!Pod was fantastic and everything we needed and more as the weather changed we could stay dry and relax.I appreciated the spacing around the site with tents and people - I know that it is not peak season yet so that is a factor. Coming from Reading by car - it is a journey for sure; which is the only reason to hesitate for a swift return. if there were areas to improve and expand on I would say to expand your website to allow people to know the diverse selection of wonderful items in the shop. The only criticism I would say was I felt it was a bit steep for the nightly rental of fire pit and wood, especially with unpredictable weather but I appreciate it is our choice to rent or not.Overall it was a wonderful stay and I would totally recommend the site, the location, the local area - and renting a pod! Thank you :

Perfect campsite!

Really enjoyed our stay here, cleaning/toilet facilities were of a great standard and the location was perfect. We stayed in a camping pod which was great - very well insulated and heater heats the place up very quickly if need be. Was peaceful with plenty privacy and great amenities whilst still feeling far enough away from busy life. Parking right next to all of the pitches/pods too. The shop on site has mostly any items you'd need in an emergency. Plenty nice walks and a great pub near by.

Perfect campsite set is a beautiful location. The staff are really lovely and helpful. The site is spotless with a convenient shop. There are two nice pubs just outside the campsite. The only downfall was there is zero signal but perfect if you want some peace and quiet.
