Sykeside Camping Park

Positiv This site is my absolute fave place to go, it’s stunning. Toilets are always clean, staff always so nice and pleasant and the views all around the site are amazing. They have an enclosed dog walk on site which is handy and a well stocked shop.

Positiv Beautiful location very close to lots of good hiking trails, hot water in plentiful supply, heated toilet block and pot washing area, adjacent pub with a good food offering, relatively well stocked shop on site with reasonable prices, well drained pitches, quiet (mid week at the end of October)

Negativ Pitches were quite rocky close to the surface

Positiv I really enjoyed my stay. The campsite was clean and so was all the facilities. The shower/ toilet room was really warm and really clean. The people at the reception/shop was really inviting. The campsite is right next to all the big hiking trails in the area making it easy to travel without a car not to mention the bus stop right outside.

Negativ Wifi was none existent in the tent pitches. I had to rely on phone data which was really good. The best phone signal in the entire Lake District. That’s literally all. Everything else is perfect.

Positiv Great facilities, friendly staff but worth then 10,simply due to the brief chat we had beforehand, telling us where the best place would be to pitch. Vital info.

Many times I've been to sites, pitched up and ended up getting blasted with wind or soaked; owners will know there sites better than anyone so again, very appreciated information.

Negativ Nothing. Maybe some indicators to show pitch sizes (I didnt see any). It seemed everyone pitched wherever they felt like (Too close to eachother).

But, that's more on the people pitching but, indicators would help; little flag? (If there are some, sorry!)

Positiv Incredible views of Red Screes, Fairfield peak and Helvellyn. No limit to pitch size. Staff are friendly and the shop is handy. Dogs allowed and a private dog field for them to toilet in is handy. Good amount of bins spread across the site which makes cleaning up after yourself easy. Campfires allowed and the shop sells wood.

Negativ Toilet and shower facilities are dated, stained, insect infested. Water is scolding hot or freezing cold. The campsite is on the farmer's land, he starts work around 7.30am and rides the quad bike through the campsite which is noisy.

Positiv Absolutely fantastic views and great facilities. The well-stocked on-site shop was very useful, and the staff were helpful and friendly.

There are a good amount of toilets and showers. I never had to wait to use anything, which was nice.

There are a variety of areas to choose from to set up your tent on the campsite. We chose a levelled pitch on a hillside towards the edge of the camp, which was nice and quiet.

The pair of sheep grazing around the campsite were charming and didn’t cause any disruption. We found it quite entertaining to watch them waddle around munching on grass.

Negativ The water pressure of the sinks in the toilet block was very intense. The hot water tap was scaldingly hot, and the cold water tap was freezing. There were several times when I was trying to wash my hands that the intense water pressure meant that water got splashed onto my clothes, which isn’t ideal when it’s definitely not warm enough outside for clothes to dry quickly.

The water temperature in the showers was a bit temperamental. I had one shower that was just about lukewarm, and another a day later that was scalding at first, though eventually calmed down to be pleasantly hot.

The location is great if you’re setting off to hike any of the nearby fells, though be advised that the road from Ambleside/Windermere to the campsite is quite the meandering climb. Our little car struggled at times.

Positiv Absolutely gorgeous location and lovely staff. The site has everything you need and a lovely little pub for the evenings. 15 min drive / 6.5 mile walk to Ambleside, and plenty of trails you can walk to from the campsite.
