Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely site the fact it only has 3 tent pitches is Lovely means it's quiet and they are spaced out well all with there own fire pit and picnic table.
Amazing views and less than a 5 minute walk down to the lake side.
Small toilet and shower block was less than a minute walk from the pitches.
Little honestly hut was lovey and we got to Lovely little cake bars.
15 min drive to coniston and 30 minutes to Ambleside perfect location.
Disliked Nothing will definitely return.
We loved the location, so close to the Lakeside and a nearby…

Liked We loved the location, so close to the Lakeside and a nearby walk above the site. The pitch was indeed muddy and solid as advertised!
The washroom facilities were excellent; clean and warm; with hot water and heaters! We appreciated the honesty hut and treated ourselves a couple of times.
We loved the wildlife: bats, deer and owls all seen from the site, and we also; for the first time in all out camping trips enjoyed the use of a fire pit!
We loved the lack of pitches, meaning it was a quiet site!
Nice site, good facilities.

Facilities/amenities.
A small tranquil camping site within a 5-10 minutes walk to the lake
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This is such a great spot! We camped surrounded by trees full of lovely birds that serenaded us every morning as the sun rose. Coniston lake is just across the road and accessible to all through a public footpath and little beach. There are two small bathrooms, with toilets and showers (nice hot water) and heating. There is also a little treat shop cabin where you help yourself and have a honesty box for you to pay.
We had a bonfire in the morning and evening, which makes the camping experience so much nicer.
Disliked The one thing that is really needed is an available socket (or two!) to charge devices (phones, tablets/iPads, music players, smart watches, dog tracker, etc.) or connect a hairdryer. I know many people who wouldn't use this beautiful site just because of the lack of a socket.
My favourite, can’t wait to go back! Beautiful!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The location was absolutely stunning, beautiful walks on the doorstep, forest, fields and beautiful lake…15 minute drive to local town. We will be coming back with the kids.
Pitched our tent in non-electric area and we were surrounded by tall trees, ferns and a small stream we could hear trickling past our pitch.
Facilities were great and close to the pitch but not too close to get in the way of the comping experience. Saying that, the Wi-Fi was even better than expected!
outside washing area for dishes and two large wet rooms that were warm and clean with cleaning supplies available also!
The honesty hut was the cutest touch too with snacks and treats that were clearly made with love and care! ☺️
This was the loveliest little camping spot iv been to and would have loved to stay longer!
Disliked No dislikes, thought it was perfect!
Exactly what I was looking for but more than expected!
We would definitely stay here again, good location and well maintained
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very small camping area with only 3 pitches but an amazing location amongst the trees with the sound of running water. Only a 5 minute walk to the lakeside which is ideal for water sports and swimming. The included fire pits and cooking tripod are also a big bonus
