We offer a variety of Lake District camping pitches to suit tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Pitches vary in size and are laid out to provide comfortable stays with easy access to on-site facilities and nearby attractions.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Santon Bridge, The Old Post Office Campsite offers a scenic rural base for exploring the Lake District. Surrounded by rolling hills, rivers and dramatic fells, the campsite is ideally placed for walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and families alike.
During busy summer and school holiday periods, the campsite can have a livelier family atmosphere, with children, dogs and guests enjoying the site and river.
Whether you’re pitching a tent, arriving with a campervan or simply enjoying the great outdoors under the stars, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay.

Lovely camp ,clean , friendly staff , very helpful full.
9/10
Very clean and well kept campsite. Some of the pitches are a good size and some closer together. The river is very nice. Lovely countryside walks just behind the pub which is next-door. Also, some more challenging hikes within walking distance. I didn’t find an easy way to dump Gray or fill my water because the faucet wasn’t near me. Good black dump.

Great location and a cracking little site, beautiful stream/river running alongside camp great for a dip or paddle on a hot sunny day. This won’t be our last visit!

10/10
Cleanliness of site, bathroom blocks laundry and the pitches. Managers were friendly and approachable and accommodating, as we did not want leave and were were able to extend our stay without any problems. Was even able to borrow a manly hammer!
The staff work extremely hard, we noticed on a few nights they had to return for different reasons and they never appear to stop, maybe worth investing in more staff.
Perfect location, plunge pool in river.
Small post office and shop nearby in Eskdale this has limited hours. Further afield in Seascale there is a pizza shop, co op and chinese takeaway. Please take cash, although there is a cash machine this was out of order on a couple of occasions.
I accidentally broke my wrist and west Cumbrian hospital also was good!
We will be going back and trying to figure out when, these guys need a round of applause for the superb running of this site! See you soon guys!
