The Quiet Site Holiday Park
Ullswater, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 0LS
Touring & Camping Park
About
The Quiet Site began welcoming guests in 1963 and many of our original customers have journeyed with us from the old basic camping field to the state-of-the-art, sustainable glamping park we are now. The gorgeous views and fabulous hospitality we offer are still the same, but the facilities and our green credentials are now world class. Sympathetic development has enabled us to retain the traditional ambiance of a Cumbrian farm while offering sustainable technologies and modern glamping accommodation. Customer service is central to all we do here.
