Wimbleball Holidays

Liked So glad the weather in the Lake District wasn’t great last week! We choose instead to head south from Manchester to find the sun and we certainly did with this little gem of a site! Brian and Caroline could not be any more helpful! Toilets are clean, showers are hot. The washing up facilities are more than adequate. There is a chest freezer and a couple of fridges to keep stocks frozen/cold. Stunning lake just a short walk away and easily accessible. Sounds of only birds and farm animals ….. just so peaceful.
Brian will supply a huge bag of logs / kindling and firelighters for just £8. We bought our own firepit but you can hire them from Brian at £2 a day or £10 a week. Initially we just booked for 6 nights but I loved it so much, I decided to stay for another 3!
Very dog friendly. Our dog is getting on a bit now so we can trust him just to hang around outside our tent should we have to nip up to the toilet block. Brian and Caroline had no issue with this which was great for us, not having to tie our dog up each time we needed to wander up. The toilet blocks etc are only a very short distance away.
It’s not a huge field which is what we liked. But it is very well maintained and flat on the pitch spots. Pitch sizes are very, very generous., massive infact! We had more than enough space to spread out and felt like we were far enough away from any ‘neighbours’ so our dog would not wander over to scrounge for food!!
At £20 a night …… wow! Compared to other sites we have stayed at this place is a bargain! Brian and Caroline will not allow to over crowd, they are clearly more interested in guests having the personal space they need and to feel comfortable there.
We couldn’t fault the place.
We will be back!

Disliked Absolutely nothing at all (and trust me, if I had something to moan about, I would ;))

Liked The directions to the site were spot on and we received a warm welcome the moment we drove onto the site.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I was staying with my 2 young children and they both loved every moment. The freedom to run and play as well as added independence as the site was small enough for them to roam within sight.

The facilities were great and the site was within easy walking distance of the lake. It was a great walk and accessible for a pram. We enjoyed walking to the dam and then to the park and cafe.

We had such a lovely time and are planning to return next year.

Liked Absolutely Perfect place for camping ! Brian and Caroline were both very welcoming and helpful , especially with choosing the best place to pitch up our tent after some horrible rain .

The site facilities were extremely clean and the showers were lovely and hot ! Perfect after a long walk around the lake,which might I add, is only a 2 minute walk from the camp site !

The added access to a fridge , freezer ,kettle and place to wash up dishes was also very useful!

We were lucky enough to have booked over Easter weekend which is during lambing season . This also meant we were able to help feed the lambs ! They were very cute and so was jade the lovely sheepdog 🥰

All in all a perfect campsite and some great hosts ! We have already booked a return visit and are bringing some friends ! Definitely would recommend!

Liked What a great little site! Has everything for a quiet weekend. The use of a fridge is a big plus for me as a motorcycle camper. Showers are in my top 10. The owners were very helpful providing a fire basket and wood at a very low cost.

Disliked Not much to dislike, a shop within walking distance would have been nice.

Liked Brian is a lovely host, showed us the toilet/shower block on arrival that had hot water in spacey cubicles. Lovely small field for pitches just a minutes walk from the beautiful lake and another 10 to the Dam. An activity centre for kayaking & paddle boarding just a 2 min drive away.
A well stocked shop / petrol station just a few minutes drive away.
Very dark and quiet at night.100% recommend 👌

Disliked Having to leave a day early due to unforeseen weather conditions 😪
