What customers say
This is a well-maintained, clean, and quiet site with excellent, modern shower facilities, many featuring underfloor heating. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the on-site cafe is praised for its food. Its location is ideal for exploring Ulverston and the surrounding Lake District. Some visitors found pitches to be close together, and issues with Wi-Fi and TV signal were noted, though solutions were offered. A few guests mentioned noise from ongoing work or sales activities.

Will definitely return!
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Really friendly team all over the site, everyone had a smile and a chat no matter what they were busy with. Really easy check in process. Loved the shop for any bits you might not yet have for your caravan/camper! Gorgeous surroundings and was lovely and peaceful at night. The toilets/showers were pretty spotless. On site cafe was lovely. Great location for walking and a lovely pub just 10 min walk away, as well as a co-op. Was pre warned that the WiFi wasn’t good but we didn’t need it and had good 5G for phone signal. We loved it and would definitely return. If you are able to, walk up to the John Barrow monument for some amazing views of the Lake District!
Disliked The only thing we felt was that the pitches were a little close to each other, specially when people had caravans/awnings and their car in one pitch.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Was a lovely site very clean and organised we had our kids with us and great kids area for the wee ones . No wifi on the pitches but in the cafe is great
Only points we had were the dog area was under construction and not really available due to safety which we we were not told about until we discovered it / no signage with alternative also road beside was private which we were not told about and walked down into the site to be shouted at by an older gentleman saying it’s private land and shouted at my youngest child and scared him this put a dampening feeling to the holiday

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.
