Really loved this campsite. Was peaceful and perfectly situated right beneath cat bells and only a 15 minute walk from Derwent. Staff were friendly and approachable and suggested a great pitch for us. It was marvellous to look out at the mountains with the stream behind us.

We like semi wild campsites that are essentially a portaloo in a field and back to basics. This site does this really well and they have clearly worked hard to establish the site. I really liked the addition of the festival showers. After a big hike it was nice to have a quick shower and was appreciated. Facilities were maintained well which when it’s muddy is a challenge. This site had everything we needed and were looking for from our stay.

On such a beautiful, tranquil and peaceful site the one camper van that was playing music quite loudly was a shame. It spoiled the peace of the site especially as they were the only ones and it was obnoxiously loud. We were opposite them and could hear it inside our tent. The staff did ask them to turn it off/ down on the first night, only on the second night they sat outside with a fire pit and played it again and kept putting the volume up.

Very friendly owners, basic amenities but all we needed for 2 nights we loved our stay!

–

The field, views, service, fire pits and general welcoming, friendly feel. Dogs were able to wander and explore freely.

The toilets are a bit tight in space to get in and out, conscious we may not return until next year after pregnancy or ill never get around the doors!

Location was perfect to climb CatBells and surrounding peaks!
Keswick about 10min drive away. Facilities (toilet and shower) were clean and worked well

–

The area and facilities available, great to be able to purchase fire pits and wood.

Beautiful area, quiet chilled atmosphere, good location. Clean facilities.

Really friendly staff, with beautiful views and ideally located for a walk up catbells. Good bus links to Keswick, or about an hour's walk away. The fire facilities were good and the showers were nice and hot.

Would have been nice to have an area with just sinks, separate to the toilets to be able to brush teeth freshen up etc. but I understand this would need a more permanent structure and isn't always feasible

Hosts messaged to cancel camp as field water logged.

Did not get deposit back even though newlands cancelled.

Set in a stunningly beautiful location. Very friendly family run campsite! Pub a short walk from the site, logs and fire pits to purchase/rent. The hosts were able to tow the car out the mud which we appreciated! Some good activities a short drive away. Lovely walking areas!

The field was very muddy but it rained heavily in the week so this can't be helped really. Same again with the toilets and the smell. It's a shame there wasn't any staff on site to give advice when we arrived as the car got stuck- when they did arrive very helpful.

Friendly people, lovely location, fire pit hire

Mud on site meant couldn't have cars next to tent, showers and toilets not brilliant
