Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Beautiful surrounds.spacious with pitching on the Thursday.accomadating hosts.water container changed daily.portaloos cleaned daily with adequate loo roll and gel. Ten mins walk down to lake. Backs onto gorgeous woodland.posdible our favourite camp yet.bonus of seeing jets training over lake.
Disliked: I was reluctant to camp low down in the field incase it was a wash out so was left to camp on slope which created bad sleep and also didn't want the car to get stuck. Shower would have made a great weekend super but I knew there wasn't 1 before I booked.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great location, 15 mins walk from pub, 5 mins walk from lake, really nice cafe just outside of campsite on the river, views of mountains around the campsite. Rather quiet site. Probably the cheapest campsite in the lake District. Well worth 10 pound a night. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: Lot of midges

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The campsite is set in the most beautiful location. Walks, forests to explore, rivers, the lake, all so easily accessible. The jets flying over was It was so peaceful, no WiFi, absolutely perfect for a break from the chaos of life for 6 nights. The owners keep the site so clean and are super lovely and helpful. We would definitely go back !
Disliked: If there was one thing it was that on our last night a group of people turned up (6 cars) and parked right in the middle of the field with music on until after 11pm then it started again at 8. Obviously not an issue with the site at all, just people being inconsiderate 🙂

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Fantastic views of mountains from the site. Huge field and lots of space was good and a short walk to the lake. Really nice walk from site along the full length of the lake (4 or 5 miles) with pub and food at Wastwater Head Hotel. Cafe and The Strands pub within walking distance for the site. Portaloos were well maintained over the busy May Bank Holiday
Disliked: All good (if you can live without shower facilities)
