What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with lovely views and friendly, helpful staff. Facilities are basic but clean, including hot showers and washing-up sinks. Portaloos are cleaned regularly, though some guests noted a smell. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District, close to Kendal and Windermere. Some found the site's rural access and sloping pitches to be minor issues. Despite basic amenities, the site is highly recommended for its atmosphere and value.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Really well operated. Sinks available for washing up and basic portaloos for toilets. Everything is well looked after and regularly maintained. Two showers available. I had a lovely hot shower with plenty of space to dry and dress. Near to Bowness and Kendall. Obviously, there’s no WiFi but that’s one of the pleasures of going off grid. Highly recommended

Derek P.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I liked that fact that I could pitch next to my motorbike. The showers and toilets were immaculately clean. The site is on a slope but there are numerous level pitches

Disliked Slight slope to the site nothing to get concerned about even camping at the top and riding a motorcycle down in the rain 😊 The site was difficult to ride to using google maps but well sign posted when near by so didn’t need the what three words which is available.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We loved our stay here - this was our first ever camping trip too! The facilities are basic, however for a short stay it’s great value. The highlight for us was the location, the site is only around a 5/10 minute drive to Bowness/Windermere which has a great array of restaurants/bars and of course the stunning lake, we hired a self drive boat for lake windermere which cost just around £40pp for 2 hrs - we booked this at a lakeside ticket desk. The site is also a short drive from Ambleside, where i’d recommend starting a beautiful circular walk that takes in Rydal waters and Rydal Caves (i used the ‘all trails’ app for that walk). The site owners also seemed to visit the site most evenings and were so helpful, kind and welcoming. The shower’s we’re basic but had hot water and did the job, the site does use portaloo’s which we’re a little rough to be totally honest, however they were kept as clean as possible. Overall we had a great stay and would certainly return!

Local attractions

If you’re here to explore the attractions of the Lake District National Park, there’s surely no better place to start than Windermere (10 minutes’ drive) – it is, after all, England’s largest natural lake. Boat trips and various watersports (including kayaking and paddleboarding) can help you get out on the water, or you can stick to the lakeshore for a walk, a visit to the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (10 minutes) or adventure activities at Brockhole on Windermere (15 minutes). Other nearby natural attractions include Kentmere (20 minutes) and Rydal Cave (25 minutes); but if you hit a rainy day, maybe you’d prefer to head to Kendal (10 minutes) for its various museums and arts venues, or to Levens Hall (15 minutes), a little way south of the town. Something to keep the kids happy? Try the animal experiences at Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre (15 minutes) or Predator Experience – Wolf Experience UK (25 minutes). Or, if you’d like a bit of peace for a while, lose them in the labyrinth at Lakeland Maze Farm Park (15 minutes).
