Positiv Clean and tidy site in beautiful surroundings. Good information signage at the entrance for new arrivals and ample hardstanding/carparking at the entrance means you can read the signage from your car. We stayed at the main campsite which is set out with toilet/shower/pot washing block at the top adjacent to the entrance, then two facing lines of pitches running down the field with track between. Individual pitches clearly demarked by cut grass with uncut boundaries and plenty of space between so it doesnt feel overcrowded. Pitches large enough for large tent and a car. You can pick which pitch to go for and any pitches which are prone to waterlogging in extremely wet weather are clearly signed. The quiet time at night/early morning seemed to be observed by everyone when we stayed.

Negativ No wash hand basins in the toilets, had to wash hands in the single sink used for washing pots and pans. No recycling bins so all rubbish had to be bagged together.

Positiv Good location, walkable into Sedbergh and other local walks. Peaceful site overall. Clan and tidy.

Negativ Multiple toilets located around the site but other than the three near the entrance they were all portaloo type ones.
Toilet roll regularly ran out.
No basins to wash your hands in and only one sink to wash up in that was sometimes used for people brushing their teeth.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Sometimes reviews say more about the author than the campsite.

On the weekend of this visit there were approx 250 campers on site and we didn’t receive a single phone call with any issues (including toilet roll or showers).

The toilets and showers are checked every 2 hours. It is possible that a single cubicle ran out of toilet role - but at no point did 2 or more, so there was always toilet roll available if you were to look or be patient.

We don’t have mirrors because people obsessed with vanity create delays in toilets and sinks leading to big queues. You can look at yourself anytime, get out and enjoy the landscape.

Regarding value for money. A pitch includes a free fire pit, free showers, unlimited waste disposal, up to 4 adults or 6 people in total, not to mention free unlimited access to the livestock.

My challenge by return is if anyone thinks they can find a comparable price within a 5 mile radius of Sedbergh, I’ll give them free camping for a year with Farm & Fell.

Sincerely

Brian

Positiv Small site, nice feel. Friendly staff driving by on a quad asking whether you required any wood, bricks etc for fire. Great value at £25 for the night. 3 toilets were fine, couple of showers and a sink. Seemed to cope well considering all the lower pitches in the family area were taken. Plenty of sheep, goats and a couple of horses on site for the kids to enjoy.

Positiv Site is big and with beautiful scenery. Area is well situated with easy access to Lake district.

Negativ Due to us coming late on Friday main field was full. We stayed in secondary field.
Unfortunately grass there was uncut making it a bit of a problem. Neighbours had party till 4am.

Positiv Our little girl loved the animals.
Great relaxed atmosphere and friendly, present owners.
Great set up and option to buy wood with a brick fire pit on each pitch.

Negativ Shower goes cold if ppl using the sink so I didn’t get a good one. Shower is basic.
