What customers say
This is a beautiful, immaculately maintained woodland campsite with excellent facilities, including warm, clean shower blocks with underfloor heating. Guests praise the friendly, helpful staff, spacious pitches, and lovely location ideal for walks and exploring the Lakes. The on-site shop is well-stocked. While some found the Wi-Fi weak and noted the site's distance from town, the overwhelming sentiment is positive, with many visitors eager to return.
