What customers say
This is a quiet, peaceful site with beautiful views and immaculately clean portable toilets. Campers appreciate the friendly owners, spacious pitches, and the option to choose their own spot. While some note the lack of showers and basic facilities for the price, many enjoyed the 'back to basics' experience, the games area for children, and the local amenities including a nearby pub and shop. Shower facilities are planned for the next season.

Good value and outstanding views of the western and central fells.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely views and natural surroundings. Possibility of moving to a different pitch if you wanted to. Near to nice bike rides and walking distance of decent pub and little shop at the garage in Grizebeck.
Disliked No shower, quite crowded and noisy over bank holiday weekend but by Sunday evening was quiet again.
Noisy roadworks nearby could be annoying during the week.
Charging for ebikes would be handy.
