Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: The people were nice and friendly. The bar offered cheap drinks and there was lice music on the weekend we were there which was a ncie touch. There were cute animals to look at also. The toilets were clean but basic (still under construction we think).
Disliked: The mud but this couldn't be helped. They had a tractor to pull out any stuck vehicles.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: A great location with beautiful views and great walks along the dales way. A short walk into the town which has plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes. There was live music in the barn in the evening which was a good surprise and the barn as well as being somewhere to shelter, sold breakfast buns and tea and coffee, there was also a bar in the evening. Staff were super friendly and the owner offered to drop us off so we could walk back.
Disliked: The toilet block was still under construction and as a result was rather basic with no hand washing facilities, however there was also portaloos dotted around the site which did have hand sanitiser.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Very friendly attentive staff, best welcome to a campsite/working farm ever. Nothing was too much trouble, including towing us off the field due to poor weather conditions. Great experience seeing the young calf and baby lambs. Working dogs and horses. Beautiful river walks from the campsite. Excellent food and drinks.
Disliked: Nothing xx Great to see veterans working and enjoying life

Liked: Campsite was nice and well kept
Disliked: Price of the on-site food for what it was. £3 for a slice of cheap supermarket frozen pizza
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Free showers Free live music every night of the bank holiday Free use of the barn and patio heaters to dry clothing out and shelter from the rain £2 for a glass of wine £2 for a beer £6 for home cooked, Galloway Steak Casserole £8 for home cooked chicken curry No limit on rubbish disposed free Free tow for anyone who got stuck We base our menus and pricing on what our customers ask for - the options we offered obviously didn't suit you, but I hope you enjoyed the alternative options in Sedbergh town (a 5 minute walk)......as explained in your welcome pack (also free) ......quite ironic that by far the most feedback from our customers is that we should increase prices, particularly in the bar as they are disproportionately low compared to comparable campsites. Sincerely Brian

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (secluded)
Liked: Good points very nice surroundings and nice for kids as they have little animals on show. I won’t stay there again
Disliked: Toilets to far ,showers you have to pay £3 per person, very muddy and not a lot of flat surface for tents.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. Many hundreds of campers compliment the freedom to choose your own pitch. Some people like to be next to toilets, some people like to be as far away as possible (the maximum distance in any field is 75 metres). We try to promote the freedom of camping, but with that freedom comes a degree of personal responsibility. It looks like you chose to camp away from the toilets. There was 30 acres open for camping on your weekend. If you camped on a slope - it was your choice - as there were many many very flat fields with low occupancy. Mud - we are a grass campsite. There was 2 weeks of heavy rain prior to your visit. The heavy rain during your visit was forecast. You chose to camp on a grass campsite with all of those known conditions. We opened up 30 acres to minimise mud - that’s 7 cars per acre (football field). I suspect that you were amongst the 48 campers who selected the 3 acres of the main field where the views of the Howgill Fells are best. You traded mud for views. I’ve answered the shower question in a previous review. We will continue to provide freedom for our campers to select what best suits their needs. Whilst I accept that this isn’t what you want, I hope that this review has helped you to see that if you accept a small amount of personal responsibility, your camping experience will be much better wherever you visit. Sincerely Brian
