What customers say
This is an excellent, well-maintained campsite with a fantastic rural location, conveniently close to the M6 and Penrith. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean, modern, and spacious individual shower and toilet facilities. Pitches are generous, level, and often fully serviced, offering pleasant farmland views. The owners are frequently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Some minor road noise may be audible depending on wind direction. One review mentioned ongoing construction of new facilities and an unpleasant interaction with an owner regarding a second vehicle.

Good site
Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Good pitch and facilitues. The owners are very pleasant and helpful.
We took our bikes and enjoyed cycling in some of the quiet lanes. There is a pub about 1 1/2 miles away , The Sun Inn, they serve food which looks quite good and the prices are reasonable.
Disliked Nothing

Fabulous site highly recommend
Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Fabulous pitch nice and large , great facilities toilet/shower clean spacious one of the best I’ve stayed at
Although close to the M6 hence why I chose it as a one night stop on my way to Scotland traffic sound is minimal and the lovely Farm scenery ( new lambs) more than made up for it , had the most amazing sunrise ,
Will definitely book again

Excellent
Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Second time and again really happy the simplicity of arrival as long as you can tell the difference between a large pitch and small you can decide where to park up no barriers no codes no reception.
A great setting on a working farm especially during landing season .
The facilities are close by well maintained and clean there is a new block but I didn't need to use it but I'm sure it's cool .
If you get the opportunity to meet the owners they are lovely people.
Also it's only a short distance from the M6 and a bike ride to town .
Disliked Nothing
