Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A good set up, Tom was very welcoming and they do sell fire-making materials on site. Access to the lake was fabulous. There are showers but we didn't use them on this occasion.

Disliked: I walked to Lakeside along the roadway and would not recommend doing it with young children. What3Words would be great for finding the entrance as the 'private' sign is misleading for new campers..

Disliked: Not so much a dislike but could do with a sign outside the gate so you know where to turn as the lane was hard to find following the postcode

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The owners were welcoming and advised us of the 2 camping areas. We chose the family area which had amazing lake views. Ideal location for getting in to the water. Toilets clean and showers available at certain times. Able to hire firepit. Definitely will return to site

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting, really natural, loads of space, fires allowed.

Disliked: Not loads of creature comforts if you're into that. Firewood a bit expensive, but captive audience and that. Not a dislike but a caveat: You have to cross a stream in your car to get into the campsite. Don't come in your Porsche. :)

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Incredible location, right by Windermere, and close enough to some pubs. The site is a good size with well looked after facilities including some showers which was a nice bonus! We were unlucky with some wet weather so my car got stuck in the mud but the site owner came over and tugged me out with his tractor! There was a nice vibe on the site, families, couples, and groups enjoying themselves and then keeping the noise level down after 9pm which was a bonus as we had some younger kids with us. Will definitely be returning to this site, and recommending it too others!

Disliked: The only recommendation that we had was a sign on the front gate to identify the site.

Local attractions

Grapple with the Go Ape course in Grizedale Forest (15 minutes’ drive) or stick to the walking, cycling or mountain biking the tracks down below. There are sculptures all around and the chance to walk with fell ponies through the forest too. As you can expect, there's no shortage of activity centres nearby – Woodland Xperiences (two minutes) is one such place, running outdoor adventures such as canoeing, rewilding and climbing. If you've brought the kids, or fancy heading back into your own childhood, meet favourite characters at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (20 minutes). Wray Castle (25 minutes), a National Trust site, is also a bit like something from a storybook with impressive turrets and towers looking out over the lake. Another National Trust site, Fell Foot Park (five minutes) has a relaxed circular walk around gothic boathouses, pine trees and gardens. Head south towards Ulverston (15 minutes), where there’s the canal and South Lakes Safari Zoo (25 minutes). And to the east of the site, Kendal (half an hour) is another splendid Lake District town, near the grand Sizergh Castle (20 minutes).
