Liked: Beautiful open moorland with a lake, sheep grazing, curlews calling. Can arrive & leave at any time, it’s not staffed. Great stop off between Scotland & Yorkshire. About 3 miles into Appleby which has shops, pubs, etc.
Disliked: £12 is a bit expensive given what’s on offer (just water & waste, no loos) but it’s such a lovely place that I’d go back.

Nice wide open space, close to road but in the countryside.

Liked: Amazing space unlimited for pitches pretty flat too! Beautiful views of the hills when the cloud lifted. Good value for money, TV signal good, 5g good. Nice Simple as expected for price, just drinking water and Elsan point no other facilities. Like wild camping in the van without the worry of moved on.
Disliked: Nothing really.

Liked: Loved this place. Peaceful, beautiful scenery, just the perfect escape to get away from it all. Near enough to the pub for food and your only neighbours are sheep. Felt remote but still had phone/tv signal in our motorhome. Perfect too if you play golf

Liked: Lovely peaceful location. Best night’s sleep. Clearly advertised as basic facilities with just an elsan point, drinking water and bin but price reflected this and was worth it to stay in legit area where despite being a bit remote, we felt safe.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We visited for the entirety of the August back holiday weekend. We loved the peaceful and beautiful surroundings, it was idyllic. You get an outstanding view of the Lake District mountains. Sheep surround the caravans and you don’t really notice the golf course because your eye is drawn to the beautiful landscape of the Lake District. The access to the Lake District was excellent, despite the distance due to extremely good A-roads. It was quicker to travel in to certain parts of the lakes from this site than if we’d stayed in the lakes. The field is obviously full of sheep poo and the sheep did wake us up one morning rubbing against the caravan but they quickly scattered when I opened the door. There is a clean water tap, Great water tap, and a place to deposit your chemical toilet and get water and nothing else. This is made really clear so that was fine with us. The last two benefits are you can check in and check out at anytime so there is no rush, and there is one hard standing pitch!
