Quick Overview

Egremont sits in the heart of Cumbria's western fringes, where the Irish Sea meets rolling countryside dotted with historic mining heritage. This former iron ore town offers motorhome travelers a quieter slice of the Lake District experience, away from the tourist crowds that pack Windermere and Keswick. The red sandstone castle ruins overlook streets where you'll find genuine Cumbrian hospitality and pubs serving locally sourced Cumberland sausage.

The camping scene here is intimate, with several Touring park serving visitors to this corner of west Cumbria. You won't find massive resort-style campgrounds, but what's available focuses on providing solid amenities for those exploring the region's industrial heritage and coastal access. Currently some free camping options exist in the immediate area, making this primarily a destination for those willing to invest in proper caravan site facilities.

From your base in Egremont, you're positioned perfectly for day trips to the Lake District's western lakes like Ennerdale Water and Loweswater, both less crowded than their eastern counterparts. The town's weekly market brings local farmers and craftspeople together every Friday, while the annual Crab Fair in September features the World Gurning Championship – yes, that's a real thing. Florence Mine Heritage Centre tells the story of the area's iron ore mining past, and you're just 15 minutes from the Cumbrian coast at Seascale.

This area suits RVers who prefer authentic local experiences over polished tourist attractions. You'll find proper facilities without the premium pricing of central Lake District locations. The Caravan site here caters to those who want a comfortable base for exploring both coastal and fell country, with full service pitch and modern amenities.

Visit between May and September for the best weather and full access to local attractions. Winter brings fewer crowds but also limited daylight hours for exploring. Spring offers excellent value with mild temperatures and blooming countryside. Check our listings below to find the right fit for your Cumbrian adventure.

Traveling to Egremont by RV

Reaching Egremont involves scenic driving through some of Cumbria's most varied landscapes. The A595 provides the main north-south route along the western coast, connecting to the M6 at junction 36 near Kendal. This coastal route treats you to views of the Irish Sea and the distant Isle of Man on clear days, though it's a two-lane road requiring patience behind slower traffic.

From the south, take the A590 from the M6 through the southern Lake District, then pick up the A595 near Newby Bridge. This route adds miles but showcases classic Lakeland scenery. Motorhome drivers should note that many minor roads around Egremont feature narrow stone bridges and tight turns typical of Cumbrian villages – stick to main routes unless you're confident in tight maneuvering.

Fuel stops are available at the Tesco petrol station on Main Street, though diesel prices run higher than national averages due to the remote location. Stock up on supplies at the Co-op or drive 20 minutes to Whitehaven for larger supermarkets like ASDA. The nearest motorhome supply shop is Camping World in Penrith, about an hour's drive inland.

Parking restrictions apply in the town center, with most streets unsuitable for anything over 25 feet. Plan to unhitch for town exploration or use the public car park near the castle ruins.

Book ahead during summer months, especially around the Crab Fair in September when the town fills with visitors.

For wild camping enthusiasts, wild camping is technically legal on open fell land, but finding suitable spots for larger RVs proves challenging due to narrow access roads and soft ground conditions. Your best bet for free camping involves checking with local farmers about overnight parking in exchange for a small fee.

Don't miss the Friday market in the town center – arrive early for the best selection of local produce and Cumbrian specialties. The Shepherds Arms serves excellent pub meals with vegetarian options, while the Kings Arms offers traditional Cumberland sausage and local ales. Both welcome muddy boots and outdoor gear.

Dog owners will love the network of public footpaths leading directly from town into open countryside. The castle grounds provide a perfect evening walk for pets, and most local pubs welcome well-behaved dogs. Beach access at Seascale allows for proper dog exercise with off-lead running on the sand.
