Liked: Tranquil site, basic but has everything you need, within 2mins walk of the water front and right next two the river. Sawmill cafe is at the end of the road which does amazing local food, also 15mins drive to Wasdale head ideal for Scarfell and that range, you can also walk straight up on the fella from the site! Great hosts - would highly recommend for wild camper / couples - not really suitable for large group or kids tho.
Disliked: For me it was perfect / bliss not super busy and chilled. If you want glamping & hot showers then might not be right for you. This is off grid

Liked: Beautiful location, we went on a clear night and looked at the stars for hours. They completely filled the sky. All you can hear is a nearby stream which is wonderful to fall asleep to. Kept very tidy, is very private (a field at the end of lots of farm fields) and very spacious. The sun rises and sets either side so I honestly could not have asked for anything else. Even has toilets and a rubbish area (kept well away from people). We took a very short walk through the woods beside the campsite to Wasdale Lake. We literally couldn't have been closer.
Disliked: It is hard to find, but there is lots of info on the booking email and a helpful text from them which you should definitely refer to beforehand. Portaloos are never going to be fantastic but any facilities are better than none.

Liked: Absolutely amazing scenery, peaceful, not too busy, very welcoming and helpful hosts. Would absolutely love to visit again next summer. Really short walk to lake, even the lake was not too busy in the middle of school summer holidays and heat wave. Lots of nearby stunning walks.

Liked: This beautiful campsite, buried within the mountains, is the perfect location for a wholesome holiday in The Lakes. Myself and my friends spent one night here and wished we had booked for longer. We pitched up by the stream at the bottom of the campsite which was very peaceful to fall asleep next to. No service which made our stay even more wonderful as we could just concentrate on being in one an others company. We will 100% be back here next year!

Liked: Size and cleanliness of grounds. Cleanliness of Toilets. Proximity to Lake. Friendly hosts.
Disliked: Current ‘porta-loos’ very hot in sunny weather. Semi-permanent shower/toilet block would improve facilities massively, have seen large trailer/container blocks used at other pop-up sites with basic toilets and showers and a water spigot attached, would be excellent if looking to expand, otherwise facilities were spot on for a short stay.
