What customers say

Great family-run farm site, clean and spacious pitches, peaceful with farm animals and views. Handy for exploring, pub and shop nearby. Might need more facilities during busy periods.

Liked Location - nice village within 10 minutes walk, great pub serving food and real ale. Good for access to northern fells.

Disliked Insufficient toilet/shower facilities for campers. Four showers, 1 WC, combined washing up/personal washing sink all together in tiny unisex building. The showers are the best bit in number and quality - plenty of hot water with good pressure, no extra charge and no push buttons. There was always a queue for the washing up.

Local attractions

If you're looking to spend some time by the water, Bassenthwaite Lake (20 minutes' drive) will surely be on your list. This most northerly lake in the national park is very quiet, with few towns and villages around its shores. Head here for walks along the path that runs along the western shore, or stick around to discover the animals on display just to the north of the lake at the Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes). It's a short drive to other top attractions too, the likes of which include historic Dalemain House (20 minutes), the Lakes Distillery (20 minutes), mountain peaks like Helvellyn (30 minutes) or Skiddaw (35 minutes) and the far-famed Derwent Pencil Museum, where you can learn all about graphite. Birdoswald Roman Fort, part of Hadrian’s Wall, can be reached by road in 50 minutes as well. Cumbrian life isn't all about the fells and lakes, though: you can take yourself off to Carlisle (30 minutes) for a more urban day out at the castle, cathedral and Tullie House museum, or you could get to Cumbria's gorgeous coastline in about 35 minutes for days out on the sand.
