Liked: Lovely quiet site with brilliant access to some beautiful walking and links to the rest of the western lakes. Nice level pitches. The pizza on Saturday night was delicious and we were very grateful to warm up with hot chocolates in the cafe after a wet walk in the mountains!
Disliked: The midges were really hard work - take bug repellent and citronella candles! There was also no hot water for washing up or in the toilets and it’s an ongoing problem apparently. It would have been good to have been notified of this before arriving or been offered some discount on the fee.

Liked: Our absolute favourite camp site in the lakes! Beautiful views including a little brook/river. Easy drive with ample parking. Super easy to get the bus into Keswick. Very clean/ well kept bathrooms and showers. Showers have proper hot water. Friendly owners. Usually very quiet. Fantastic pub a 5 minute walk away. Above ground fire pits allowed!
Disliked: If I had any area for improvement, it would be hot water to the toilet taps near the camping site. But it is a minor niggle.

Liked: its a great spot. cosy-intimate campsite.
Disliked: No hot water, mirror in toilet block is so low to the ground that you have to kneel on the floor or do the splits. Promised Saturday Pizzas not always available (dependant on staff availability).

From the manager: Hi Simon, We're glad you enjoyed our campsite location. Unfortunately I did have to cancel pizzas this Saturday night, as my back went on Thursday night to the point I was laid on the floor for 24 hours until it eased and I could get to my chiropractor. This is, I hope, not a regular thing, and I can only apogise I was unable to do pizzas, and it is not possible with one member of staff, you need 2. I can assure you I'd have rather have been making pizzas than in agony on the floor! Thank you for your understanding on this.

Liked: The campsite was really close to the start of the route we took to reach scafell pike. The Yewtree pub was really good and close to the accommodation. The showers were nice and hot !
Disliked: As the campsite is next to a river we weren’t prepared for the midges, but that’s fault of our own for not being prepared enough.
