From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views and the short stroll to Potters tarn. We also have to say, being described as having the cleanest portaloo you've ever been in is a compliment we'll happily take! 😊
We're glad you had a great stay, even if it wasn't quite long enough. Hopefully next time you'll be able to stay a little longer and enjoy even more of the beautiful surroundings. We’d love to welcome you back.

Liked Wonderful stay, so peaceful, quiet and surrounded by nature and undulating hills. Loved birds and bird song, sheep and the hill walks available nearby and swimming opportunities.
Had all that we needed for a nice outdoorsy nature filled trip. Lovely shower and loos! And the campsite owner was very nice too!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The campsite was peaceful and well maintained, with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.
The location was excellent, with Staveley just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the local cafés, pubs and shops without needing to drive.
The owner lived nearby, so assistance was readily available if required, while still allowing guests plenty of privacy. Essentials such as the water supply and toilet paper were checked and replenished regularly.
Overall, it was a relaxing, well-managed campsite in a great location, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Disliked The shower had no medium temperature, so it was either scolding or baltic.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The campsite was lovely and clean. The owners were friendly. There was plenty of room to pitch our tent and the owners came out when we arrived to check all was OK. On the last day I couldnt restart my car as the battery had died. The owner came and helped jumpstart my car. All in all, a pleasant stay surrounded by beautiful scenery and friendly people.
