Flat pitch area right by the beck, lovely spot and really helpful husband and wife team. Private bathroom was serviced regularly and was very clean. Really enjoyed our stay.

Really lovely, basic, tranquil site. Owners were very friendly and really helpful. There were no significant issues when we stayed other than a blocked toilet that was sorted almost immediately even though it was after dark.

The stream running along the site edge adds to the tranquility. The kids loved paddling in it. Cows in the neighbouring field were docile and used to visitors so the kids (2 and 5) were able to feed them handfuls of grass, which was a big hit.

The site is a the bottom of a bit of a hill so owners advise against driving down to pitching area, although some did, and we did to pack up in departure, as they were moving cattle. Otherwise they have a land rover or quad with trailer and are happy to help move gear to and from cars, and were ever present around check out time (11) to help any groups who were leaving that morning.

We were booked in the part of the field without private toilet/showers, which suited us better as no-one was wandering past our tent and we were far enough from the access to the stream that we could let the kids run free without worrying they would go near it unsupervised. This part of the field has 3 flushing toilets and two gas powered showers, which was ample during our stay. Two washing up sinks round the back with washing up liquid and bowls for anyone without their own. All kept really clean throughout our stay, with owners coming by to clean and change bins etc at least a couple of times a day. Don't think there is WiFi but we had strong 4G signal at all times so had no issue.

Even over an August Bank Holiday weekend the site was still quiet. Maybe 15 tents max? All groups were respectful and quiet after dark. There were families with younger and older kids, some couples, and one group of about a dozen scouts for a couple of nights.

The site is close enough to the M6 to be easily accessible but far enough away that there isn't any road noise. Really well located for Arnside and Silverdale AONB and about 45 minutes drive to the South Lakes or Windermere.

Final word for the night sky, which was on a par with the best I have ever seen.

Overall it was a really smooth, pleasant stay and we would definitely book again if we were in this neck of the woods.

One section of the stream fence is damaged and some older kids were climbing through the gap. This could do with fixing before the next season. One separate sink with mirror for shaving etc would be nice in addition to washing up sinks. Although the site is basic that's how we generally like it. The only mod con that would be really useful is a freezer for ice packs. Other than that we really can't fault it.

Lovely quiet site. Great facilities, views and stream to enjoy. Space to ourselves. Helpful, friendly son with jeep to help carry our things to a pitch. We enjoyed a few campfires and paddled in the stream.

Not enough instructions to speed up arrival. Seems very flexible but no one around when we arrived a little later than planned, we had no clue where to go.

Facilities very good..great location ..always a phone call away if needed .. definitely coming back next

Beautiful scenery with a babbling brook running alongside to lull us to sleep.
Clean facilities, basic but did the job.
No fuss easy going site, Shirley gave us a warm welcome and didn’t rush us on our departure day. Loved 4x4 to take us and our belongings to the pitch, real novelty.
We also hired a fire pit with a bag of wood for the stay that was emptied for our 2nd day.
The children loved paddling in the brook and greeting the cows in the neighbouring field.
Location was great to pop out in the car to nearby Ingleton and Kirby Lonsdale.
Would definitely go again

Lovely quiet location, super friendly and helpful hosts. Couldn't ask for more when having a camping trip with young kids.

Fantastic campsite- very peaceful, great location. The owners are extremely helpful and thoughtful whilst leaving you to enjoy your holiday. Very chilled/laid back vibe and you're not cramped in- lots of space between pitches.

Facilities immaculate and the shower was great. Lots of thought been put into setting this campsite up.

Voted best campsite ever by 9, 7 and 3 year old because there is lots of room to run around (including the best hill to roll down!), lots of nature (we saw a kingfisher and owls) and the beck to play in. And of course the gator rides which were a lovely touch! We can't wait to come again.
