What customers say
A beautiful, peaceful site with friendly, helpful owners. Guests enjoyed the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and the stream which was a hit with children. The site is well-maintained, offers lovely views, and is a great base for exploring. Some mention the steep hill from the car park and narrow approach roads.

Would definately recommend
Hobby Wood non-electric grass tent pitch (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked Good communications from the owner prior to arrival, loads of wood for the fire, nice clean toilets well stocked with loo roll. Decent shower with space to dress. Lovely views, in a cracking location.
Disliked The exit from the track out on to the road could do with building up/ flattening a little, car loaded up with camping gear grounded out a bit on exit.

From the manager: Thank you for the review, so glad you appreciated our loo rounds, it was a busy weekend, so regular cleaning was needed to keep them in tip top condition. The views are fabulous particularly on a sunny weekend, even better if you take a walk to the top of the fell.
With regard to the track, you won't realise the work we put in to enable the cars to park so near the tents, every year we rebuild the track as the Cumbrian rain loves washing it out, we add gravel and scale it back. We recommend driving slowly and keeping to the solid track, most people manage it, but we are here to help if you need it.

Lovely site.
Hobby Wood non-electric grass tent pitch (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked Beautiful location, well marked out large pitches and plenty of space. Close to visit nice places in the Lakes.
Disliked Would be nice to have more taps/sinks and some signage on the gate to the field.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, so glad you enjoyed the location, we try to make sure pitches are allocated so everyone has lots of space.
You attended on one of our busiest weekend, with glorious sunshine, knowing you still felt there was lots of space is reassuring.
With regard to the taps, we have one tap per 4 tents, spaced evenly along the site, I can only think everyone wanted to use these at a similar time, which is unusual.
We will try & increase these for next season.

By the Beck non-electric grass tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked A very pretty and peaceful campsite, with large pitches and a super friendly owner.
I camped here with my two little boys and had a fantastic 4/5 days. They loved playing in the stream. My 3 year old loved the cows in the field next door too.
When we arrived the owner met us to help take our gear to the pitch but there were also wheelbarrows available to help move kit also. This was super easy and efficient. She checked in with us through our stay to make sure all was great.
Felt very safe for the little ones, no cars driving on site and toilet facilities super clean and nearby. Hot water for showers also! It got busier at the weekend, with a few small groups but all were very quiet and relaxed.
Local pub a lovely walk away. Plenty to do nearby for kids - we did Lakeland maze / greenlands farm & crazy golf / morecambe happy mount park.
We will absolutely be back! Thank you Puddlemire!
