Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location for short walks and hikes in the areas. The site was absolutely clean, spotless and the facilities were amazing and spacious (Toilets, showers, sinks, wash up areas, bar/restaurant, outdoor play area). Greatly and fairly priced for 2 nights at £62. For any extras required Carnforth was only a 5minute drive away for the likes of a Tesco Superstore/Aldi.
Disliked WiFi kept disconnecting frequently. But the network connection I had was great. Who really needs to be on there phone whilst camping anyway.

Disliked Tenting is far from reception so unless you are fit and healthy, would be better going in the car but didn’t affect us directly during our stay (just an observation)
