Solway Sun Club, founded in 1953, is a member-run club on a 14-acre woodland site near Carlisle, close to junction 44 of the M6. The site is off-grid, with solar power, gas showers, a wood-fired sauna and a clubhouse with a log-burning stove. There is also a small unheated pool, a volleyball and sunbathing lawn, a petanque piste and a kitchen.
Visitors can come for the day, pitch a tent, park a camper van or rent the club van, but touring caravans are not allowed. It makes a peaceful base for exploring the Lake District, the Borders and southern Scotland. Directions are given when you book.
