What customers say
This is a small, friendly, and immaculately clean campsite with a focus on peace and quiet. Guests consistently praise the helpful and welcoming owners, particularly Sid, and the unique benefit of having a dedicated toilet for each pitch. Facilities are described as spotless, with good shower pressure and hot water. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District, with nearby walks and attractions. While some mention only one shower and a single washing-up sink, these are generally not seen as significant drawbacks due to the limited number of touring pitches. It is highly recommended by visitors, many of whom plan to return.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay at Coalbeck. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Sid who could not be more accommodating throughout our entire stay.
All the facilities were great, clean and well maintained with everything you need. The location was great for us, especially with having 2 dogs.
An added bonus of having your own toilet cubicle throughout your stay.
Thank you for having us and we will be returning!
