Hello to you all from the National Trust camping team. Just to let you know we're the new owners of Eskdale Campsite and that we are expecting to welcome you at Dubfest in 2019. Currently the site is full for that weekend but please get in touch if you have any questions. :)
We're very excited to share the news that Eskdale Campsite is now owned and operated by the National Trust. Sara and Martyn are going to be a hard act to follow but we plan to continue their excellent work. We look forward to meeting you all soon. @NTLakescamping
Morning campers!
