Syntes om: All of the pitches were located away from the car park which gives you that wild camping feeling surrounded by trees. The site does provide a trolley to transport all of your equipment. The petrol garage is just across the road so any essentials were easy to obtain. we were welcomed by a very friendly and approachable owner of the campsite who made us feel at ease upon arrival which was good as it was my girlfriend’s first camping trip. Only a 5 minute drive to windamere made it a perfect location for us. Great weekend.

Syntes ikke om: The only downside was that it was close to the A road going into Windamere and you can hear the cars driving past but I still found it a very peaceful location and it wouldn’t stop me from revisiting.

Syntes om: It is the perfect campsite ideal if you want to get a idea of what wild camping feels like with the added safety, lovely owners very cheap very quiet, and hill really isn’t to bad to get to the tent pitch I purposely picked the highest pitch with incredible views. Will definitely be back next year Thank you!

Syntes om: Nice and friendly campsite. Individual pitches nice and flat.

Syntes ikke om: Very few toilets for size of site. One toilet had a shower so unavailable for some time.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. Regarding toilets and showers, we have three toilets (one regular, one portaloo and one composting loo with a urinal) and two showers (one indoor one outdoor) for 10 pitches with a maximum of two people per pitch. Even when full the number of campers on site is usually no more than about 15 with a mix of couples and singles. This is one toilet between five campers, one shower between about 7 or 8 campers. This is not much less than many households have. Occasionally we have up to 20 campers on site but it's rare except at weekends. I clean the toilets every day and seldom find that they have been overly used, especially not the portaloo and the compost loo. It's also rare this year to see a queue for the portaloo or the outdoor shower, albeit in hot weather it's more popular. If I got another portaloo hired in, I doubt it would be used at all. The problem we have is that everyone favours the excellent indoor facilities and even if the other facilities are available they would rather queue. That's why the metered 20p shower , to help give campers a timer for their shower. We are a tiny campsite so we don't have funds or space for big toilet and shower blocks like the 60-100 pitch park sites have. In wet weather it can be a bit more challenging to get a shower when no-one wants to use the outdoor shower. As you said , this means if someone has a very long shower it effectively stops anyone using the indoor toilet, which is unfortunate. However I think that given that it's all adults here, it's not unreasonable to expect customers to be considerate to each other and communicate politely if they need the facilities. We far exceed the minimum site requirements , especially for showers which are not actually required at all below 60 pitches.

Syntes om: The location was perfect for our visit The hosts were attentive and informative. Coffee shop with pastries across road for a simple breakfast with a pub with nice atmosphere for a cheeky beer adjacent to the garage. Fire pit available ( sadly the rain soon put out our fire ) Individual camping ledges and plenty of seating and great views

Syntes ikke om: There is some road noise and the transport link is constant even throughout the night
