Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Myself, my partner and our 8 week old belgium malinois puppy had a fantastic stay on this campsite. Loads of space and freedom for our puppy to run around. Owner was very approachable, friendly and helpful (he helped us out massively on more than one occasion and his dog is awsome and friendly too.) All facilities needed ie showers, toilets, hot water was spot on. Nothing more needed on a campsite when camping (apart from wellies when it's been raining so much so you don't get bogged down 😂😂 but it all adds to the adventure and memories.) Located in a beautiful spot. Would highly recommend. We will be back.
Disliked: None what so ever.

Liked: Fantastic stay will definitely be back. The host was so friendly and helpful. We turned up with our 1 year old on our first family camping trip and found part of our tent was missing. We thought we would have to go home but he let us borrow his spare tent. The facilities were the cleanest I have ever seen on a a campsite. We had a magical stay and made some amazing memories. Thank you ☺️

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: I rang the owner, Alan, upon arrival & he was straight there. I had a choice of 2 big fields to pitch up on with plenty of space between pitches. Me & my 2 travelling terriers were made very welcome. I hired a fire pit & bought a couple of bags of wood which was brought over to my pitch straight away. The views are stunning there & it’s not too far to drive to the Solway Firth beach where you can walk all day or choose to take a walk on the nearby fells. Alan bobbed over to check all was well & kindly asked if I needed anything from the shop as he was going anyway! The Heavens opened on the Sunday & as I was car camping I was offered the use of an empty tent or 1 of the pods! The facilities are basic but clean and very well maintained. Bring wellies/wet weather shoes & waterproofs because it is the Lake District after all! Don’t forget your torch! All-in-all I think this is a very special place indeed and I will definitely be visiting again. On a fine day the sunrise can be seen beautifully & the sunset is amazing. On a clear night the skies are shiny bright with stars. What more could one ask for?
Disliked: No complaints whatsoever 👏

Liked: Really enjoyed the stay at the camp site. It was a basic campsite but had every thing we needed. The owner was happy to sell us fire wood too. The showers were hot, and the toilets were clean. We were able to park next to the tent and we arrived late. Cheap and cheerful
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely quiet little campsite, very friendly and helpful host and is on hand if you need anything. Two open fields with grass pitches. Rural location, 15 min drive to local villages with pubs and shops. Facilities are basic but more than adequate for short stay, there is outdoor pot wash, drinking water tap, toilets are regularly topped up, lovely hot showers. Not the cleanest down to grass/mud being dragged in on shoes and flies attracted by the lights but can ask for anymore for the price. You can hire a fire pit and buy logs, to keep cosy on a night, as there is no lighting you can see the stars. Once the mist cleared, beautiful scenery.
Disliked: No dislikes, only suggestions I could make for host is could do with something to stand on getting out the shower, like wooden mat as mud /grass gets trekked in. Suggestions for other campers, take a good torch, there is no lighting in the fields. Ideal for star gazing. Can be wet/muddy take good waterproof shoes and flip flops for showers. If you’re going to hire a fire pit, remember to pack some marshmallows.

Liked: The laid back feeling, plenty of room to choice your own pitch. Owner was very welcoming but left you to it, at the end of a text/call should you need anything.
Disliked: The British weather! Lots of rain (in true bank holiday style) made driving on the site and walking to the showers/toilet very muddy but worth it!
