What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful, back-to-basics experience with stunning, uninterrupted views and friendly farm animals. Facilities include clean portaloos, with more traditional toilets available nearby. While basic, the site is praised for its spaciousness, quiet atmosphere, and excellent location for exploring the Lake District. Some guests noted the lack of water taps and bins, and the isolated feel might not suit everyone, particularly those new to camping. The track to the site is described as rocky. Overall, guests found it good value and plan to return.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent base to tour the lakes with awesome views. Great value for money. Basic back to nature old school camping like camp sites used to be :) also the funds are paid to charity so a win win and tells you something about the ethics of the amazing land owner 👍 two porta loos a disposal area for bags of waste and a convenient tap for washing hands / pots. Will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing really, one of the porta loos was a bit strong smelling, but you only use the facilities briefly and just used the other one so not an issue 👍

Great little gem
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This is a great gem! Even for younger kids there is sheep’s and two lovely black horses literally outside the campsite gate! It’s quite. Can chose your own spot I love that there is no lighting as the view of the start are absolutely unreal. The price was £13 a night and honestly well worth it! The views are incredible. It’s also an amazing that it’s all for charity. I most definitely will be returning.
Disliked Nothing, had a great couple of nights. Plus the signal was also great!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Was lovely and quiet and definitely worth a tenner. Relaxing evening, easy to locate with google maps link. Great for first camp before wild camping.
Disliked I would pay a bit more if less pitches were sold. Started to be really close to other pitches who are drinking etc through the night so are quite loud. But brought ear plugs .

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked What a little gem this campsite is! In such a peaceful and relaxing location. When arriving we got to choose where we wanted to pitch and the view was stunning. The price is absolutely amazing! Being a mum of 3 boys, this campsite was great for them to explore and play without disturbing anyone. We can’t wait to return, hopefully soon!
Disliked Nothing, this has been the most peaceful campsite I’ve ever been to!

Liked Rural, quiet, easy to set up, local to Windermere.
Disliked No bins, although for the price (and the fact it’s for charity) you can’t go grumble.
