Sykeside Camping Park

Best campsite in the lakes

–

Great location with friendly and helpful onsite staff. Clear direction on where to park, pitch etc. Very good facilities for showering, washing up, laundry and a shop for the forgotten essentials. No mobile signal on site which can be a positive.

Beautiful setting of campsite, good pitches, clean and good facilities. Staff helpful.

Lovely idyllic setting. Very well maintained with clean facilities and friendly staff, only wish showers were a bit hotter and the shop opened earlier. We had all types of weather and even after 24 hours of heavy rain, the ground held up well.

Overall it's a great location for general touring around The Lakes. Ambleside is a 15 minute very hilly drive away and Ullswater, just around the corner. Children loved the sheep roaming around catching glimpses of a working farm. Also, big thumbs up for a great dinner in at their pub and fun quiz night that's every Saturday.

The cleanliness of the area, the toilets, the laundry and dishwashing room! Really exceeded my expectations. The receptionists were also very very friendly which was great <3

We did not like the fact that breakfast stopped serving at 930am, it's a little bit too early. We walked in and the waiter looked at us all shocked and weird saying, "Sorry, but what are you here for?", which made us feel like we've committed a crime.

Also did not really like pitching the tent in certain areas as the soil had lots of rocks underground which made it very difficult to pitch the tents.

Location! Fantastic views. Near Kirkstone pass. Friendly staff , great well stocked shop (with local tirril beers 👍) lovely pub next to site & campsite has their own little bar where we did the quiz night :) hot showers, very clean facilities. Camp fire to borrow 🏕🍳🔥and shop sells the wood. Honestly we loved it!

£1 for an hours WiFi... Think these days it should be available to everyone and free. Wanted to look up some places around the area. Only thing otherwise great.

Clean site tent pitches were flat with good access. On site toilet and showering facilities nice and clean and tidy. Staff friendly with a nice supplies and a gift shop too. Lovely views of the mountains surrounding at the heart of the Lakes, good location. This is the third time we have visited and would recommend to everyone.

The facilities were brilliant. You get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, the views are stunning! But you still have great showers, washing/drying facilities, and there is a pub and bar on site both of which are dog friendly. When you arrive all of the staff are really friendly and walk around the site making sure you have what you need. It rained most of our stay but we still had an amazing time. Ambleside and Patterdale are very close by and the walking routes are very well sign posted.

The only downside is paying £1 per hour for wifi. I understand to a degree to keep it a rural location, but if you have people you have to be in touch with (we have elderly relatives) then it does get expensive and slightly inconvenient.

Beautiful bowl of mountains surrounds the campsite , we pitched in the middle so we could see them all. It rained all weekend but the facilities were always nice and clean and the warm shower block much appreciated. Ate breakfast at the pub in the morning as I couldn't be bothered to cook in the rain, it was excellent value. Staff were all very nice and knowledgeable about the local area. We will return as soon as the sun comes out so that we can do some more ridge walking, be warned if its breezy on the campsite it's very windy on the tops!!!
