What customers say

Awesome views & super clean facilities. Owners are a ripper bunch. Farm animals add to the charm. Bit noisy on weekends for some, and toilets can get busy. Watch out for rocky spots!

Michael P.

Paddock powered grass tent or campervan site

Liked The views from our pitch were incredible and we loved that we had our own fire pit which we toasted marshmallows on. We enjoyed playing ping pong and pool in the games room and the site was less than a 20 minute drive from Keswick.

Orchard powered grass tent site (two person)

Liked Lovely views and scenery. Clean showers and toilets. Really peaceful and relaxing site. Good pitch size and nice privacy with the greenery around. Great location for lots of the lakes and hikes. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this campsite.

Disliked Very minor things: Would have been great if there were some paper towels / hand towels in the toilets to dry your hands after washing. Also a couple of times there was no toilet roll so would be handy to have a spare left in there. We were also advised to bring a 5m electric hook up lead but this didn’t reach our tent so I’d recommend bringing a longer one! Lucky we’d brought a very long extension cable. The website also mentioned a games room but we couldn’t find this anywhere, so not sure if it was closed when we stayed.

Local attractions

It’s all about getting outdoors around here – there are walks galore through the area’s stunning scenery (not just lakes but also fells, forests and mountains). Routes are around for all abilities, from accessible ‘miles without stiles’ walks through to scrambles up Skiddaw (the 931-metre peak is 20 minutes’ drive from the farm). Put your boots aside for a while to favour other activities – head to Whinlatter Forest Park (20 minutes' drive) for mountain biking, Derwentwater (20 minutes) for kayaking and trout fishing, or Cockermouth Golf Club (10 minutes) for a round or two. If you’ve got the kids with you, you may like to take a trip to the Lake District Wildlife Park; if not, a dram at the Lakes Distillery or a tour of Jennings Castle Brewery may be on the cards. And of course it’s always worth making a point of visiting the Derwent Pencil Museum, 15 minutes away in Keswick.
