Liked Shower block more than adequate. Location is fab.
Disliked Other human beings who allow their dog to defecate on the site. In the same location. Multiple times. Dogs toilet. Foul people.
Also the other human beings who defecate all over the toilet seat and don’t clean up after themselves. Foul people.
Poor owners have the dehumanising job of cleaning up after these people.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very basic site but it's a bargain price. Simple toilets, showers and was facilities. We stayed on the top field, it does have a slope, but if you choose wisely it has little impact. Great location for getting out and about.
Thanks for a lovely stay!

Liked Peaceful and Well-Maintained Campsite 🌳
We really enjoyed our stay at Low Hollows campsite from 27 to 29 June. The site is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful nature, and offers a great escape from the hustle and bustle. Facilities were clean and well looked after, and the pitches were nicely spaced for privacy and comfort.
Overall, a fantastic spot to unwind, and we’d happily come back. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Disliked The only minor downside was arriving just after the grass had been freshly mowed—it looked tidy, but the loose clippings did get into the tent and made things a bit messy. Nothing major, just something to keep in mind.
Gorgeous views. Minimal facilities but had everything that we needed. Super close…

Liked Gorgeous views. Minimal facilities but had everything that we needed. Super close to Keswick and lots of walks near by. Owners also very easy to contact via email and received response almost immediately!
Disliked Can get busy in toilets/ dishwashing area at times.
Not what we expected :(
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked beautiful part of the Lake District - views 10/10. Campsite 0/10
Disliked We booked and paid for this trip but unfortunately had to return home with the state this field was in, an 8 hour round trip for nothing! There was no clear information on arrival about where to pitch and no one around to report to for guidance or help. The contact number on booking confirmation was never answered. It felt completely unorganised. We attempted to pitch up but failed due to the entire field which was covered in huge amounts of cut grass which hadn’t been collected, there is no way you could comfortably pitch up there! To top it off, our car got stuck in the field several times because of how thick and wet the cut grass was under the tyres, and there was no one around available to assist. Overall, it felt neglected and not worth the visit, especially if you want a stress-free camping experience. Would not recommend.
Overall good, but lack of shower and toilet facilities.

Liked Really nice site, plenty of room and great views
Disliked The site is quite big but in total there are only 4 toilets and 4 showers (2 male and 2 female) - there was always a queue. They need more toilets and more showers.

Fantastic stay in a gorgeous setting, we will stay again
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Fantastic location, 10 minutes from Keswick and the Catbells summit.
Lots of space to choose from, we selected our own pitch.
The views were outstanding.
A nice stream to paddle in, our dog loved swimming in it.
Disliked We had a group of men pitched right by us who were loud late at night and early in the morning. You could do with putting groups on a designated field at the top perhaps.
Beautiful views, and easy access to Keswick. Clean showers and toilets…
