Beck Foot Campsite

Liked The views were amazing and the overall vibe were spectacular in the day. They provide mini camp fires which was really nice when it gets a bug chillier when the sun is setting (not enough for each camp though). They also seemed to provide toilet paper in the porta-loos but not sure if that is always there so we brought our own. We called the owners quite late at night due to us missing the entrance times as stated but they were very helpful and understanding.

Disliked The way to get there was a little tricky as there are two routes and one of them no big cars would be able to get through (very small and weak bridge) and the other was very tight roads where meeting cars coming the other way would be difficult. They only have porta-loos on sight so isn’t the nicest (especially as a girl at night) and there are no sinks or showers - they have a big tank of water but it is freezing and doesn’t come out very well. There are also no bins so any rubbish you collect along the way has to get back in your car to find a bin on the way out. Signal is also not amazing out there if anyone was to need it.

From the manager: Regarding the bins we took them away people were abusing it with putting chairs and tents in it and I know the roads are narrow but we get lorries up no problem and mobile phones signal it should be good the mast is only next door you can see it

Liked Great views

Disliked Roads leading to the site are very, very narrow. The site itself only has two, old portaloos that weren’t very clean and didn’t flush very well. There was also a big plastic crate with water, which you couldn’t drink. If you wanted drinking water you had to go to the main house, a drive not a walk, to get some. I was there with my eldest son, youngest daughter and his daughter. Neither of us would allow the girls any where near the toilets.
The roads leading to any of the walks mentioned are very narrow!
The site is NOT child friendly.

From the manager: Sorry it wasn’t up to your expectations the toilets were clean just been cleaned actually so I don’t know what you mean and we can supply freshwater from the house why don’t you instead of putting bad reviews talk to me directly in stead of saying every thing is ok then I ask and the toilets do flush ok

Liked Exactly what it says in the tin, easy to access, turned up and pitched up

Left on time next day and had no issues

Liked Great little place! Superb views in every direction, close to Sedbergh, close to good walking and nicely hidden away. I was lucky enough to have the field to myself so it was perfectly quiet overnight and slept solidly through till the morning. Waking up with the cloud surrounding the upper howgills makes for a great morning. Easy to find, helpful owner and a great position to get back in the morning. Definitely follow the directions on how to get there as there is a very narrow walled bridge the other way so take their advice!
