Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Good location and nice scenery from tent, short drive to shops and nearest town
Toilets weren't far from pitch
Disliked: Bent all the pegs trying to get them in the ground! Came back with about 5
Felt huddled together on the electric tent/motorhome field, pitches could be bigger or guests could be positioned a bit better
Showers were alright but if someone else was showering at the same time it would be freezing cold then burning hot! 🤣
Couldn't find a public footpath nearby - site is situated down country lanes.(Obvs not an issue if you don't have dogs that you want to quickly walk in the morning!)

Liked: It's a basic campsite but actually, that works well for me. A toilet and shower which is cleaned a few times a day, no ask to feed tokens into a meter to use a shower that has decent pressure and hot water ... perfect. Friendly to motorcycle campers like myself, it's also really well situated for walks into the Lake District.
Disliked: The toilet and shower block could be a bit smarter ...it's fine, but needs a bit of TLC to replace broken or missing tiles and the like. However, all perfectly serviceable.

Liked: Great position for many walking routes, could get straight onto the fells from the campsite. Quiet area with a nice pub and a local shop just a short walk away, 10 minutes drive to Buttermere, Keswick and Cockermouth.
Disliked: It is what it is, a very basic campsite. Had everything we needed - toilet, shower and a place to wash dishes.
