Church Stile Farm Holiday Park

To start off we were greeted by a very lovely and kind lady who quickly got us checked in, and gave us a very detailed map on where everything is. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the water, toilets and wash up area were all really close to us!

Due to our poor planning, the weather was abismal during most of our stay, so we chose to order some pizza from a local takeaway for our first nights meal, it was very nice and delivered in a timely manner.

Our first nights sleep was a bit uncomfortable, but that was only due to us not having been camping in a very long time. Although, I can't explain how amazing it was to wake up and see the beautiful hills in front of you.

Due to the almost constant downpoor of rain during our stay, we asked the team that looked after the site if we could use our camping stove under the shelter next to the reception / shop. They were very helpful and accommodated our request immediately (which was a life saver!)

The shop was very well stocked with basically everything you needed in a pinch. It had locally sourced bacon, sausages and some ale, which were amazing!

The facilities were impeccable for a campsite. The toilet area was spotless everytime we went, and the showers had proper hot water! There's a washing up area with plenty of sinks, and some cover from the rain. The laundry room was a nice surprise, with a washer and dryer to clean any clothes you've got, along with a freezer for any freeze bricks for cooler boxes.

The other visitors to the site were incredibly friendly and chatty, which was a drastic change from where we were from!

There's plenty of things to do around the campsite. We planned on doing a few walks, but due to the weather we only managed to get one walk in. We filled our time by going to the nearby Motor museum, and a Safari Zoo. We can 10000% recommend both of these, they were amazing.

The staff/owners were so friendly and helpful

really clean facilities and lovely quiet and family environment with helpful staff and spectacular views.

FYI two gorgeous pubs next to the entrance. BOTH DO NOT SERVE FOOD unless you're a hotel guest. You can get meals delivered from a local pub but nowhere within walking distance that serves food. Would have been good to know.

Also, one pub advertised card only but then got hit by lightening so was cash only, we had to drive to the nearest town to find a cash point. I'd take both to be safe.

The site was clean and well managed. The views were impressive in an area of outstanding natural beauty
There was a well stocked shop on the site with a range of supplies and the staff were always friendly and helpful
Showers and toilets were adequate and cleaned every day.

Wi-Fi coverage was only available at the reception area and mobile signal was poor
Local pub was only serving meals to residents despite being the owners of the campsite as well

Excellent site friendly and helpful staff. Caravan was as advertised, clean fully equipped.
Would definitely go again and recommend.
Just next time need to order a few days of sunshine. Thankfully a very welcoming pub across the road

Weather
Wi fi a bit hit and miss but expected that in Wasdale. Who needs it in such a stunning location!

The site has great facilities with a fully stocked shop with all the essentials. The surrounding area is quiet and secluded and the views nearby are stunning, especially around Waswater which is only an hours walk away at most. There was plenty of space for all the tents and the site was quiet and had a relaxed and happy vibe. The toilets/showers were well maintained and the food-ware washing facilities were good. All in all a decent place to stay if you’re looking for a retreat from everyday life. Phone signal was very poor but this is mentioned on the website and in some ways if your looking to escape everyday life and enjoy nature, this may be a blessing.
