Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked: A beautiful location - walking distance to shores of Lake Windermere - a lovely walk. Excellent facilities on site. Barn seating area/hub gave a nice opportunity to meet other campers and enjoy a coffee/drink undercover. Weather was not the best, but staff ensured safety for us all. Campervans advised to park on gravelled parking area - as grass site unsuitable for vehicles due to weather conditions. Heavy rain overnight - we were so glad we heeded their advice!

Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked: Location to the lake, views if weather is good
Disliked: Facilities are disgusting, weren't cleaned during our stay. No staff seen for our stay. When we arrived we called the number and we're told to just park in the car park and camp there. Complete waste of money, you're paying for the view

Liked: Views over Windermere
Disliked: Paying £35 to stay in a car park with no electricity. Our grass pitch waterlogged and we had to be towed out after getting stuck along with others. Facilities are very basic and accessed via a steep set of metal stairs.

Liked: Loved that you could hire a fire pit and you could buy drinks there. It a big enough field where others don’t bother you. Facilities were clean. Good price.
Disliked: I understand not wanting cars on the field but having to carry everything back and forth from the car was annoying, felt like being at a festival. Someone also had used a disposable bbq next to my car which could have gone horribly wrong.
