Liked: The views were stunning. Toilets were clean. Short walk into Pooley Bridge which we did and also close to a paddle boarding place which we also did. Other campers seemed respectful and vibes were good. The owner came round offering fire pits at night for a small fee. She seemed really nice and helpful. There was even a parrot flying around which was an experience! Apparently it belonged to the neighbours! I loved this site and would definitely put it on our favourites list.
Disliked: Nothing.
