What customers say
This is a quiet, remote campsite offering a "wild camping" feel with stunning hill views. Visitors praise the friendly, accommodating hosts, clean and well-maintained facilities including hot showers, and the peaceful atmosphere. The location is ideal for hiking and exploring the Lake District, with a village and amenities a short drive away. Some note pitches can be uneven, and while portaloos are clean, a dedicated sink for washing up would be a useful addition.

Liked Great campsite, feels almost like wild camping as others said. Hot shower very nice to have there as well.
Was just a short stay for us, but would love to return as we didn't have much time to explore the area, but there are lots of routes around and some wild swimming not too far away too.

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us! Glad you enjoyed the campsite and the wild‑camping feel. Great to hear the hot shower hit the spot too!!
We hope you can come back soon and enjoy more of what’s around here- the wild swimming at the local tarns is definite must do!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Well signposted for such a secluded area. Easy check-in and to just pitch anywhere. Views are unbelievable and if you are lucky to get a clear night it is truly breathtaking.
Disliked Facilities were well looked after just might need a more regular check.

I had a fantastic stay at this campsite! The location was beautiful
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Stay with Stunning Views and Top-Notch Facilities!
I recently stayed at this campsite and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The location is absolutely breathtaking — panoramic views that make every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit back, relax, and soak in nature’s beauty.
The facilities were fantastic. The hot showers were spotless and always had plenty of hot water, which was such a treat after a long day of hiking. Drinking water was easily accessible around the site, and everything was well-maintained and clearly cared for.
It’s rare to find a campsite that combines such incredible scenery with comfort and convenience, but this one really does. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommended for anyone who wants a peaceful, well-equipped escape in the great outdoors!
Disliked I honestly don’t have any dislikes — everything about my stay was great!
