(LA12 8DR) Lakeside -

Spoke with the warden checking tickets. This fantastic ‘site’ may be closed in the future. Please just pay the excellent £10 for 24hrs & don’t abuse the warden if you are caught not paying, do not empty your chemical loos either in the toilets or the skip (!!!! YUK) and don’t dump your litter anywhere but a bin!! As usual the few are going to spoil it for the majority!!

Lovely spot for the night with a lovely view of the water. Pay and display £8 over night. Toilets on site and bins too.

stayed here acouple of nights, 10 for 24hrs parking, toilet on site, really quite night, no traffic only hotel guests. would definitely use again, plenty of spots for motorhomes.

£5 for 10 hours, very good, do not put your waste water down the toilets, take it away with you or they will close this ideal spot down, don't spoil it for others.

Really fantastic view of the lake. It was extremely busy when we arrived, but we parked at the back of the car park and moved once the boat trips stopped running. One payment machine accepted card. There was quite a lot of other campers but it was not too noisy. There is a path at the back of carpark next to the train track to walk the dog, but there are sheep (warning for high prey drive dogs).

Postcode took us straight to the car park, busy during the day so we parked at the back car park then moved to the lake when the boat trips had stop running, we parked in the corner next to the lake so we had lots of room to sit with camping chairs and there was a few campers which was nice! 2 lovely walks down the train tracks and river where people do water sports and a nice scenic bike ride.

This spot is amazing. If you get lost, just try to reach the Aquarium and go as close as possible to the river. As soon as you reach the river, you will be there. The hotel is nearby, so may have a bit of noise - not much to be fair. Important note: bring coins with you. No card accepted. I reiterate: PLEASE BRING COINS WITH YOU, NO CREDIT CARD ACCEPTED. All and all, this is a great spot.

Great flat spot, little cafe at the train station platform along with clean toilets. Stayed in back part of the car park, very quiet and peaceful. Great for a lie in after a long drive up from Southampton. 5 other campervans. £5 for 10 hours. Great location.

Nice location with lots of parking. More parking round the back of the aquarium but no lake views from there. Good toilets.

stayed Friday lovely place to stay £4.50 for 10 hrs in day .never payed over night just put a ticket on at 8 in morning till I went .the give another van my ticket

Got here late Friday night, found a good flat spot, didn’t pay for the over night as it was late but paid for parking in the day

Amazing! Price is £4.50 for 10 hours. Wake up to a lake view.

Ticket machine now takes cards.

Brilliant stopover with an amazing view over Windermere. So peaceful in the evening once the ferries have stopped running.

Lovely place to park up and chill. Didn’t stay but seemed easy enough. Toilets to use and nice view of lake!

Stayed for 2 consecutive nights, lovely, peaceful and quiet at night, carpark at the rear of the aquarium is secluded, and on a clear night the sky's amazing. The Lakeside hotel looks beautiful and we popped in for a couple of drinks and a meal, unfortunately they don't make food for the public. They are really missing a trick here IMO

lovely views in the first carpark Infront of the aquarium,there are toilets on the station platform but if you park behind the aquarium you'll have more of a walk to them,paid to stay the night but seen plenty people not paying and nobody checking!! so you take yer chance. carpark gets very busy during the day

Fabulous views across the lake, stayed 1 night popping into the hotel next door to spot for a pint and a cocktail! Ferries stopped from about 6pm so quiet from then and car park empty except for 2 other vans and a few cars from the hotel. Take a torch for the toilets as although open 24hrs could not find any lighting this particular night. Paid £9 for overnight parking. Definitely use again

Stayed here as it was late, and one of the only places around. We got here late, and didn’t have cash so did not pay and display (we didn’t get a ticket or approached by anyone; but left early). Toilets are 24/7, and although you can get water, it was frozen over. We went to the motor museum, and they gave us water there, as we both paid to go in and just asked the lady. Recommend here 100%!

Lovely! Postcode doesn’t take you to the exact place, it’s a little further down. The view is beautiful.. we didn’t have cash for parking and the ticket office was shut so we asked in the hotel and the guy said don’t bother paying, there’s no cctv. So we had a free stay! ☺️ toilets are spotless and just overall a lovely place.

Really friendly staff in the red ticket office £4:50 for ten hours and you can stay as long as you like if you keep buying tickets, clean toilets and hot water open 24hrs in the train platform , great view of the lake and really peaceful, also you can use the hotel bar next door. Highly recommended

Stayed here a few nights ago and had a beautiful view of the lake, would recommend!

Stayed here early Sept. Beautiful spot. We parked in the front car park right by the water. £9 for 20 hours. Toilets on platform open all night.

lovely stop. Best in the area. £10 overnight. toilets open 24/7. very friendly atmosphere- so make sure we respect this welcoming stop over.

Arrived at 8pm, paid £2.50 for 2 hrs and put another ticket of £4.50 on at 10pm so we had 12 hrs parking for £8. Toilets open all the time and stunning view over the water.

Lovely spot, toilets, water £9 for 20 hours parking.

Must be one of the best spots in the lakes. Right next to the lake and 24hour toilets available down the far end of the train platform facing the water. Road says closed at the moment but I arrived at 9pm and was able to drive straight through without any diversion signs.

all roads leading to this site is currently closed and diversion is single lane roads so tricky in a camper.

paid the £4.50 for 10 hours but I don't think anyone cares really. there is loads to do from here. an aquarium, boat trips, train rides, cafés, etc. Great spot and plenty of room

Fantastic spot. Stayed the night last night trouble free. Beautiful views, and just round the corner from Fell Foot where we are spending today. No noise, only one other camper on the front car park (where the views are), couple on the back car park too.

Stayed here recently, perfect for our needs we done a night of car camping was very quiet toilets on the platform. Felt safe and plenty of space. Note: the machine takes cash only. The car park is behind the lakeside hotel and spa if you end up in a residential area, that’s not it. Staff were lovely next day when we took a train and boat.

What a fantastic find. Big car park so any size van can park in the rear car park. £4.50 for overnight, they say 10 hours but they are very flexible with the timing as long as you purchased 2 tickets which takes you to 10 hours. Toilets in the platform and a water tap. We have 2 Labradors so found a spot near the hotel to throw a stick in the water for them to swim and cool down! Definitely a spot we will use over and over again!

Was so peaceful and very dark of a night great view £9 for the night we arrived at 3:30 and left at 10:30 the following morning

We arrived before the train booth closed and paid for parking by card, overwise cash in machine, £9 for overnight. Great location next to lake. Roads are narrow getting to location.

Assez bien, beaucoup de place, ok pour une nuit calme mais pas plus

Great place to stop, views amazing, pub beside car park and toilets open all night. ❤️

Belter of a place.... going on the train tmrw morning and aquarium in the afternoon. 4.50 great price.

Please do drive down any residential streets. They are all dead ends and have no turning or lake access. This is not the access to the car park. Car park postcode is LA12 8AT, and is located next to the very large and obvious Lakeside Hotel and Aquarium.

Bastante sombra. Llegamos por la mañana y nos dicen que con un ticket de 10 horas es suficiente hasta el día siguiente si nos vamos antes de las 9.

Great spot for overnight or even during the day. £4.50 for 10hours, bargain in the lakes Water taps and 24/7 toilets - best view we've had of the lake for an overnighter even beats paying £30a night on a Campsite.

Cracking spot, toilets on platform 24/7, free water tap on platform too, so peaceful at night, no need for ticket overnight only from 9am-5pm although no one was checking and two out of the three machines were broken, tickets can also be purchased from train/boat office on platform. Get the train and Bowness return pass for £21, such a good day out, train at 1020am back for 1120 for boat

4.50 for 10 hours lovely views. Nice and quite aswell there is a toilet near the car park that's open 24hrs so that's a nice touch. there's a hotel and bar nearby although they don't sell food to none hotel guests for some profound reason. anyway the stay here is very pleasant.

Stayed here last night, really quite and no one bothered us. Loads of parking for many vans.

fantastic little park up, 4.50 for 10 hours toilets on platform, lovely view of lake at top or car park, definitely worth the stay very quiet, plenty of space for vans and cars, about 100 spaces

Excellent location but note cash payment at machine only.

Stayed here last night, plenty of space and quiet. £4.50 for 10 hours, machine takes cash or card/contactless. Toilets on the station platform clean. You can get a drink at the Lakeside Hotel with great views of the lake. Not much to see in the main carpark where we stayed the night.

easy to park with lake ferries and train on your door step if you want to explore. drove here in the motor home taking my time as the road is a little narrow and windy but it is my first week driving a 3 ton truck. well worth it

Nice quiet stopover for £4.50, you can pay at the kiosk if you arrive during opening hours. Plenty of space when we arrived.

Really quiet peaceful place to stay next to the Lakes Aquarium with 200 spaces. Beautiful views Cash ONLY pay and display £4.50 for 10 hours. Toilets open 24/7 on the station platform. 100% recommend staying here.

Nice quiet car park next to the lake. Pay and display needs cash if you arrive after the ferry ticket office closes. A couple of other vans here. Very peaceful night, slept right through. I hadn't realised, but our ticket ran out at 7am, but we left once we woke and no issue. Added bonus is there's a toilet that's open all night on the station platform which was clean enough.

A beautiful location and very peaceful. We will definitely be back! By the time we arrived the kiosk had closed so we paid for 10 hours at the machine. This ticket gave us until 5am so we had to set an alarm to go and get another ticket. However, when we checked with the ladies in the kiosk they said you can just buy 2 10 hour tickets at the same time and they will allow a 20 hour stay.

Merveilleuse nuit sur ce parking très calme, avec vue directe sur le lac. £4,50 pour 10h. la journée il est possible de payer par carte chez le vendeur de billet de bateau et train, mais lorsque le guichet est fermé, les machines n'acceptent que les pièces donc penser à prévoir £4.50 Je recommande sans hésiter !

Stayed last night… perfect location. Paid the ladies at the ticket office for two 10 hr spots. Quite, beautiful and restful.

peaceful. stars amazing. took some stunning photos. ground level. plenty of parking spaces. no card payments only cash for parking. toilets open 24hrs.

great place, toilet, and water all night opening, boats have started a limited service and steam trains starts again 3rd april . parking 2hrs 2:50 10hrs 4:50 as long as you have a ticket, that will cover over night, card or cash, or even from boat booking office

great stop over, nice views and very quiet. might be worse in the summer

Lovely spot,view is gorgeous right on the lake.meter says £4.50 for 10 hrs however I spoke the guys who works there,he said £ goes to them & £4.50 will cover a full night, they just appreciate after covid. PLEASE contribute, unlike some, DON'T drop your grey water in the middle of the car park! Were it can go into the lake. The van who done this was seen on camera and they have taken your reg

Great spot for NYE. Lots of vans here and great display from the hotel next door! £4.50 for 10hrs in change at pay & display, as others have mentioned. Toilets open on station platform as well, very well maintained.

Great stop over, New Year’s Eve. Arrived at 4pm and paid for 10 hours £4.50 using my bank card at the ticket office, told I would only need to pay again at 9am. Flat car park, clean toilets and water on the station platform. We parked overlooking the lake and Hotel. Free firework display courtesy of the Lakeside hotel. Bonus Happy new year

Great little place to stop, very peaceful and easy to use. As others have said there are toilets and water open 24 hours and £4.50 for 10 hours worked well for us. We stayed right next to the lake and boat docking area and there was no noise from the hotel right next to us.

Peaceful night on the shores of Windermere, toilet on the station platform open all night. Well worth £4.50 in the machine. Take coins.

Parked on the further area of the car park. As not as busy, train toilets open all night on the platform, added bonus. Parked up, slept well, didn't hear anybody around. Parked by the lake for breaki then on our way. £4.50 in coins for a 10hr stay. 24hr car park.

Stayed last night with no problems 2staff walked past a few times . Parked right out the way near the train signal hut .very dark at night if you have a dog take a good torch . Will definitely stay again

Massive pay and display car park open 24 hours, cost is £4.50 for 10 hours, please note machines only accept coins. was t bothered by anyone and it was very quiet. parked right next to the lake with stunning views.

We turned up at 9.30 in the dark, paid the £4.50 in cash (thanks for the heads up) and had a very peaceful sleep. In the morning we woke to the most wonderful view of the lake, toilets are on the train platform which are indeed open and didn't see any signs for no overnight (2 other vans stayed the night we were there) Just perfect

Great Location but we arrived at 10:30pm in the rain only to find the machine was coins only. After realising we didn't have enough we headed somewhere else that we could pay by card /phone (Rayrigg).
