Lovely site which we’ll definitely return to.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The site was immaculate. The green areas and pitches were very well tended. The reception on arrival felt welcoming. The shower rooms were amazing and absolutely spotless. It was an easy walk along into Ulverston.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The surrounding area, the bathroom facilities, the shop for accessories etc. The site was really pretty with all the flowers and planting. Also, it was divided up well into different sections that were easy to identify.
Disliked The road through the site was in poor condition

It is somewhere we will return to.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great location, beautiful setting in a disused (many years ago) Quarry. Nature has livingly taken over and the owners have sympatheticly created a lovely site. Each pitch is level with EHU, and water. It has lovely shower rooms with heated floors. They were always clean, and never closed.
It is a 1 mile walk into Ulverston which has lots of bars and restaurants.

A lot of work rquired to get this to 3 star even only a sales site!
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Close to town. NOT a 5 star site.
Disliked The touring site is continuosly 7 days a week used for sales handovers and all day. Continous noise with noisy vehicles and people. Poor electric boxes cables hanging. No TV, Wifi, mobile signal. Offered booster boxes for £100 deposit??? A 5 star site? Showers ok but under floor heating on continuously so when you finish showering and dry off you sweat and need another. Waste water disposal for vans just a gravel patch. Cafes advertised as opening to 8pm. Twice tried and both times closed indoors. Offered outide in the wind and rain.
