Fantastic site
Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Everything!!! What a beautiful clean site with great facilities and pitches. The staff were so friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. Even the inclement weather didn’t dampen our stay !! The library was a great find on a rainy day. We will be back !!

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely staff, lovely site..would definitely return.
I didn’t really get full use out of the site just used as somewhere to pitch up while I prepared for the Lap, so if I’m silly enough to do it again I’ll definitely use Skelwith only 25mins from the start of the Lap if any Lappers are looking for a place to stay won’t go wrong here.
Showers and Toilets perfect 👌

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked This is a superb campsite, set in a beautiful location. The facilities really are excellent (lovely underfloor heating in the showers). A peaceful spot to set up base around lake windemere.

Excellent site.
Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Well stocked shop. Friendly staff. Clean and warm toilet / shower block (underfloor heating). Level campervan area. Very quiet site. Feels smaller than it is, because made up of smaller areas in woodland. 10 minute drive to Ambleside. I think there’s free wifi, although I didn’t use it as there was also good phone signal.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We passed through whilst on a hiking holiday and were absolutely amazed by this place. It has absolutely everything you could need for a fantastic holiday and will definitely be coming back and staying for longer with the kids and the dogs.

Fantastic and will definitely be returning!
Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Everything. Impeccable cleanliness throughout (facilities and general site), beautiful setting (woodland walks, a lake, nature hide for birdwatching, surrounded by natural beauty), very helpful and friendly staff (in the shop/reception but also driving about the site and willing to stop and help with practically anything!), fantastic walks, lots of space. Kids loved the various parks/adventure spaces even though it was raining! Shop was inviting and reasonably priced, very helpful map provided, plenty of water points and bins.
Washing up area is pristine, as is chemical disposal point! Toilets & showers are warm and spotless.
We could choose our own pitch- we probably should have fully driven about first but we were racing against the sunset!
Lovely and quiet, lots of wildlife, will 100% visit again but for longer.
It felt like a private, luxury holiday, despite being a ‘camping’ break.
Disliked Due to gravel/hard standing (which was very slightly slanted if being picky), there wasn’t anywhere to put an anchor ‘spike’ for the dog, who when tied to the railings went for an explore and got badly caught up in the brambles. No injuries, but almost had to call the warden to help due to sheer drop the other side!
There are no near toilet facilities if based close to the kids activity areas. We did choose this area in spite of that, but it was a little far for the kids to go without an adult.
WiFi was awful, but likely due to being such a large and remote site- 5G was alright in the right spots.
