Wildscapes Retreat and Campsite sits at the foot of the majestic Howgills in Cumbria. Located on a working sheep farm halfway between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales national parks, the peaceful (and off-grid) camping field (with no electricity or showers) has spectacular views of the summit of Green Bell. This is a stunning and out-of-the-way spot for a relaxing family break surrounded by untamed fells. It's within half an hour's drive of Wain Wath Force, a popular wild swimming spot. Just a 15-minute stroll down the lane from the site is the pretty village of Ravenstonedale, where you’ll come upon two welcoming pubs serving excellent food and real ales. If you venture a little further out of the village, there’s yet another establishment renowned for its delicious fare. The market town of Kirkby Stephen (10 minutes’ drive) has a plethora of independent shops where you can stock up on goodies for the barbecue or fill up in the cafés and pubs. It’s also the gateway to Cumbrian walks and cycle rides taking you to dramatic waterfalls and prehistoric stone circles, and you can study all your activity options at the visitor centre.

Areal til autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Would definitely recommend this place to anyone, had a brilliant night stay here, the owners suzie & sam we’re incredibly helpful.. and it’s in the perfect location with beautiful scenery, there’s loads of fire pits dotted about so just grab one, and buy a bag of logs witch is only £10 now that’s a bonus…. Couldn’t fault this place one little bit

Areal til autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om incredible location and the friendliest most helpful owners.

Syntes ikke om Absolutely nothing. Suzie and Sam constantly making changes to the site to improve customer experience. There are currently two compost in toilets on site and waist bins however they are in the process of creating a shower block which will benefit those who don’t have on board facilities or people who are camping in in tents.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your wonderful words. We are glad you enjoyed your camping experience with us. We try to keep the site wild and basic but also have been adding some little extra touches in the compost toilets, We finally got our lights working and added some nice little hand wash dispensers. Next - to install some hot water for the wash facilities.
It was great to meet you both and thank you for leaving us the coloured earth stone :-)

Lovely quiet location

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med hårdt underlag og græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Beautiful location, peaceful, undisturbed., cheap to stay. Friendly laid back owners, wildlife. Dark skies. Recycling bins. Free fire pit to use. A back to nature, basic site, just what i like! Dog friendly.

Syntes ikke om Weather! No hot water. Toilet lights have a mind of their own. No general waste bins, but these were here the last time I stayed, so maybe just an oversight. A lot of sheep droppings on pitches this time.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Helen,

Thank you for reviewing your experience with us. I am glad you enjoyed many aspects of the site again this time. I am so very sorry about the things you disliked. I wanted to try to explain and let you know what I have addressed.
Firstly there was a miscommunication with the farmer - Dad! He let the sheep in to eat the grass off the site as I told him there were no bookings... Hmm I don't think I did but that's why that had happened. I am sorry I know this is not ideal and will forever tell him there are always bookings! :-) I hope you can understand how this happened.
THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FIXED! This has been a real learning curve for us, solar power, sensor light, bulbs that were draining too much power etc! We hope we have nailed it now! They were fantastic this weekend so long may it last.
Also, we have lots of waste bins, the return of the general waste bin was overlooked as you said because Dad thought no one was coming and as you know we took a couple of days away for a holiday. All is back to normal again now - Our sincerest apologies,

Stunning and very relaxed site. Environmentally friendly facilities

Areal til autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Loved how relaxed the site was, no set pitches, but everyone had respect for other people's space.
The setting was incredible, owners were super friendly and helpful, checking in before we arrived to check if we needed any wood for a campfire. Great hosts!
Only 1 mile from a great dog friendly pub.
Facilities basic but love how environmentally friendly they are!

Struck lucky with the weather, enjoyed a peaceful break.

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med hårdt underlag og græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Nothing

Syntes ikke om The entire place was full of animal faeces — it was absolutely disgusting. The toilets were extremely dirty and unhygienic, and the whole site felt completely neglected.

We spoke to Suzie, the person in charge, who initially agreed to give us a refund due to the poor conditions. However, after we left, she changed her story and refused to refund us. This kind of behaviour is dishonest and shows a complete lack of professionalism.

Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else — this place is not worth your time or money

Fra bestyreren: Hi David,

I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. I want to offer clarity for future guests and respond to your concerns sincerely.

When your group arrived, it included six people, though the booking was made for three. When I addressed this, you informed me you wouldn't be staying due to the compost toilets not being what you had expected — clearly mentioned in our listing. I suggested following up via Pitchup or by email, and I welcomed a discussion about a refund.

After our conversation, you emailed me directly, and I offered you a 50% discount on a future stay as a gesture of goodwill — despite the circumstances. I believe this was a fair response.

The toilets were clean, as confirmed by both myself and other campers on-site at the time, and I’m proud of the consistent positive feedback we receive about our facilities and the peaceful atmosphere here.

I understand we won’t be the right fit for everyone, but I do take all feedback seriously and always aim to improve. Wishing you all the best in your future travels.

Suzie
