Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: We arrived late due to airport delays on the way, and were worried we wouldn’t be able to pitch up if it was shut before dark but got there and found the pitch and got the tent box up no dramas, there’s nice toilets as you arrive and inside all the information you need on clear signs for where to find things, camp rules, local amenities. It’s right down the road from the honister pass which was why we chose it, it made getting to our activities on time a breeze! We stayed the one night and it was easy peasy and a lovely stay for us and the dog!

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: The facilities around were regularly cleaned and the staff were friendly. It was a good spot to do hikes and had no service so we could switch off from everyday life.
Disliked: There wasn’t really anything we disliked other than other site users let their dogs run around when speaking to the owner they did ask them not to.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Showers and toilets were clean. Pizza on Saturday night was lovely! No signal available and had to go closer to Keswick for this, but not a bad thing for a few days.
Disliked: Lack of flat pitches available, wasn’t that much to choose from.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: A small campsite with clean toilets and washing area a few feet away. A stream runs through the site which is very picturesque. We were visited on the site about 9pm to check our booking and to ask any questions. The site is in a lovely spot with areas of interest close by. The Seatoller Farm is a short walk from the site and has a cafe, pub and barn eating area.
Disliked: I don't think the site was monitored very much so pitching up was a bit of a free for all in terms of finding a spot. I'd advise getting there close to check in time. Unfortunately no electric pitches or signal (which is mentioned in the booking - would just be nice).

Liked: We loved the peace and quiet of this idyllic site tucked away in Borrowdale. Dan and Ruby were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. We walked along the lake to Keswick and returned by bus to fantastic homemade pizzas at the farm. We loved our stay here and will definitely return.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Site is peaceful, nice to pitch by the river.
Disliked: Not impressed with washing up facilities, No hot water. Not great having to walk to the Farmhouse area for showers. They are good but if you have young family it's not great.
