Camping at Cardewlees

Campsite was in a level field containing both toilet and shower facilities with disabled and gender friendly labelling. Owners were warm and welcoming, offering everything from fire pits and wood to jacket potatos and lunches. I have to mention the scotch egg at this point, as it was the best we had ever tasted.

The water pressure struggled when multiple showers were in use. The bags of wood were a little on the pricey side.

Hi really nice site and in a great location only a short walk into Dalston where there is a railway station and a bus stop. There is also a great pub and local shops.

Unfortunately they had a swarm of wasps although they were trying to find where about the nest was.

A great little family run campsite, we were made to feel at home as soon as we arrived. Very quiet site with lovely views of the mountains. Plenty of room to set up our home for the week.
Very impressed with how well the toilets and showers were looked after, they were always very clean and never a problem getting into them.
The site is based in a lovely little village with a coop just down the road to get supplies if needed as well as a great takeaway that offers amazing food!

Lots of space, clean and friendly

Would've like hot running water for the cleaning facilities

Location was fair - quite hard to fins - we actually drove around for a good 20 minutes trying to find the site, need to do a loop around a main road to get back onto the road where the camp is.
At the time we were looking there was no answer on the given number so we stopped and asked directions in the farm next door! He was ok but did say it was a common question asked by people stopping at the camp.
Camp facilities clean, pitches were grass, EHU and water available along with waste emptying.

Bit of a trek on foot to Dobbies, the nearest centre for a bit of shopping / food. No real control of the campers, kids kicking balls against van, not the sites problem but an issue for us.

Quiet location, small and friendly. Great location

The kids being able to help on the farm was amazing!

Hand blower in the ladies didnt work and the sink was too high for the kids, a little step would make a huge difference for them

Plenty of space. Good facilities. Easy 6 mile bike ride to Carlisle castle along a cycle route by the river.

Everything. Me and my 2 dogs spent 2 nights here and found its the perfect place to escape to. The facilities and pod were spotless. The site is well thought out and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. It was great to see the animals and the owners are lovely.

A really well maintained site, although its not a commercial site it is such a lovely setting with fields all around, some with horses, sheep and cows and a beautiful view of the stars on a clear night. Ideal to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The family running the site are very friendly and approachable. And I loved that you hire a fire pit too, we had ours on our final night and watched the sun set as we toasted our marshmallows, total bliss. The toilets and showers, although they are not your usual brick toilet block and are more portaloo style were still very well maintained and clean. I also liked that you had free reign to choose whichever pitch you liked.

Not anything to dislike at all! although I do want to mention that we had a bit of a wasp infestation which I unfortunately found a bit stressful. But that's totally out of their control so not anything to knock off any stars but I just wanted to let them know!
