Liked: Great views over the camp site. Very friendly owner who helped me with a last minute decision on a fire pit. Toilets were clean! Until the morning, which is expected on a basic camp site at the time I woke up (8am). Would stay again!
Disliked: Just the toilets in the morning were blocked so had to wait until I found a service station.

Liked: Super easy campsite, we turned up really late (midnight) as was using as a stopover. No problems at all, got on to site and pitched up straight away. Easy to access loo’s and taps for water.
Disliked: It was a busy weekend so the loos were a bit blocked

Liked: Lovely scenery and location. Large campsite with lots of room. Able to pick where to pitch and park next to pitch.
Disliked: Very basic facilities - 3 toilets, only one sink and a cold shower. Twice during our 2 night stay all 3 toilets were blocked and unusable, however upon ringing the owner this was rectified.

Liked: Site was exactly as described, my daughter and I had the site to ourselves for the first night. Owners were friendly and helpful. Good location, open air pool in Askham and fab local shop with very good coffee n cake. We’ll be back next summer hopefully the weather will be less British 😆🌧️

Liked: short drive to many top spots in the lake district. Choice of hiring fire pit and was a call away if you needed more logs! Thomas was very helpful and came straight away. Had to call our trip short as of weather conditions but had a great stay before then
Disliked: The shower was cold but it’s better than nothing and freshened me up nonetheless
