Liked: Very easy to reach, picturesque location with a lovely stream running alongside the field we camped on (which made for a very cozy sleep). A lovely woman named Jayne came to welcome us to the site and made sure we had settled in. The site is advertised to be a “quiet site” but nobody seemed to mind music or podcasts on as long as the volume was low. The toilets aren’t going to be winning any awards, but the toilet did what it says on the tin! We would definetely camp there again as it was a nice chilled bank holiday weekend away. There are plenty of pubs in Kendal (which is only a 5-10 minute drive away from the campsite) to choose from if you want to go out for a couple drinks and some food during the day. Overall I am happy to have stayed at this campsite and would recommend others stay there if you’re looking for a relaxing couple days with family or friends :)
