The Old Post Office Campsite

Líbí se Quiet, clean site located on the banks of a river. Pitches well spaced and well presented. Dog friendly with walks within walking distance of site. A good pub and cafe (both with food) within easy walking distance of site.

Nelíbí se Showers, toilets and and washing facilities are adequate. However in gents, only 1 urinal positioned immediately next to wash basins of which there are only 2. There are 2 showers which require additional payment (coins).
While we were there the bins were full with a notice requesting for rubbish to be taken away - not great.

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.

I thought i would highlight a few of your dislikes, as you will have been informed on your arrival the showers being free was short term, the old coin machines were stopping the showers from working, so we had to disconnect them so that you had showers, they were always going to be replaced, so the free showers on your arrival was a bonus, yes they are different coin machines from the women's as they are now obsolete, however we have plenty of the coins required in the office of which we provided.

The bins are for general household waste, and recycling and have clear signs on them saying what not to put in them, due to this being ignored they were over filled and contaminated the bin men will not empty contaminated bins. TV,s ,Camping equipment ,from tents to blow up beds, electrical items, umbrellas, gas canisters, all sorts, were dumped in the bins, it is made clear on arrival that these items are to be taken home and disposed of, full Bin bags were being dumped on the floor in the surrounding area which then had a knock on effect, and customers and passers by were just following suit, we do not have the capacity to get rid of all these items. so yes unfortunately we had to close the bin area for two days, so that staff could sort through them allowing them to be emptied, of which they were on the morning of your departure.

I hope these things did not affect your holiday too much and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future.

Líbí se Very clean and well kept campsite. Some of the pitches are a good size and some closer together. The river is very nice. Lovely countryside walks just behind the pub which is next-door. Also, some more challenging hikes within walking distance. I didn’t find an easy way to dump Gray or fill my water because the faucet wasn’t near me. Good black dump.

Nelíbí se This is a great place for families. For me it was a little too close to my neighbors and a little too much activity. Lots of kids playing dogs playing. If you’re camped on the river, you’ll have people going through the site to get down to the water. It’s lovely for community and fun, but not peace and solitude.

I have since reviewed your dislikes and i can say there isn't anywhere that states we have an onsite shop likewise with the 10 min walk to town. you may have misread it does say that there is a 10min walk to a gift shop and cafe.

I hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay.

Líbí se Cleanliness of site, bathroom blocks laundry and the pitches. Managers were friendly and approachable and accomadtinh as we did not want leave and were were able to extend our stay without any problems. Was even able to borrow a manly hammer!
The staff work extremely hard, we noticed on a few nights they had to return for different reasons and they never appear to stop, maybe worth investing in more staff.

Perfect location, plunge pool in river.

Small post office and shop nearby in Eskdale this has limited hours. Further afield in Seascale there is a pizza shop, co op and chinese takeaway. Please take cash, although there is a cash machine this was out of order on a couple of occasions.

I accidentally broke my wrist and west Cumbrian hospital also was good!

We will be going back and trying to figure out when, these guys need a round of applause for the superb running of this site! See you soon guys!
