Liked: Sykeside is a lovely, quiet campsite surrounding by mountains, with an amazing view of Dove Crag (and a hike there straight from the site!). The on-site shop is convenient and the on-site pub serves some great beers. We didn't get to try the food but it looked great! It's also a really great location to get to many beautiful sites and hikes in the Lakes.

Liked: Beautiful campsite in a small valley near Brotherswater with great facilities and a very convenient pub on site. Loved that the dishwashing station is indoors (and warm), so doing the daily chores is not a nightmare. They also have laundry facilities and a shop. There are several good walks that can be started from the campsite, so you don't even have to drive anywhere if you don't want to.
Disliked: Water in sinks is too hot!

Liked: Great location with lots of local walks. Campsite facilities are excellent, and the little sie shop stocks everything you could need. The pub ( the brothers water inn) has excellent food and beer and everyone was really friendly. This was our second visit to the site and we are hoping to return.

Liked: The views from the campsite were incredible, and the facilities on site were very good. The shop was excellent and very well stocked, with a friendly and helpful reception. Within driving distance of some good walks.
Disliked: If you are unable to get a table at the quite small pub, there are no other walkable food options at night.

Liked: Lovely site in a great location. Shower block and loos were spotless. Also great to have an indoor pot washing area. Great pub at the entrance to the camp site.
Disliked: Unfortunately on our 2nd night, there were some young men who obviously hadn't known about the 10pm rule as they were talking until nearly midnight.
