What customers say

Low Hollows Campsite gets a thumbs-up for its ripper location and views, handy for Keswick and heaps of walks. Campers love the big pitches, cruisy vibe, and good value. Facilities like showers and loos are mostly clean and fine, though a few reckon there aren't enough when it's chockers. Most reviews are ace, but a couple of folks mentioned sloping sites, noise from neighbours or the road, and the odd hiccup with clean or available amenities at busy times.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked A really great site with a LOT of space.
Absolutely stunning amd lots of space so you're not on top of other campers.
Totally OK to have a firepit which is great.
There was loads of toilet paper and the toilets were lean and looked after when I went in. The showers were hot and reasonably clean too.

Disliked Only 2 male showers and toilets and the same for females. For the size of the site it could do with a few more!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked location was great and the amenities were good. very laid back and chilled.

Disliked is on a steep slope which was annoying at times as things would slide off tables. the road next to it is loud and can make it hard to sleep along with the noise of the stream. only two toilets and showers so often a que. didn’t even meet a single staff member and anyone could pitch anywhere so was very disorganised.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The location is lovely just a shame about the campsite.

Disliked We contacted the owners prior to arriving because the weather forecast was so bad and we wanted to pitch up earlier to avoid the rain. 3 phone calls later no answer and no way of leaving a message as the mailbox was full. I then emailed them again no response. We arrived to a sign saying if you had paid in advance pitch up anywhere. You could have just arrived and pitched up as we saw no one for the whole time we were there. The field was awful the grass was really long and there were grass cuttings from the last time the field was cut so the grass was everywhere. The facilities were not good. No locks on the toilet and no toilet paper. I knew it was basic when I booked it but there is basic and basic. The weather was that bad we actually left on the Saturday but from start to finish the whole experience at this campsite was awful.

Liked Shower block more than adequate. Location is fab.

Disliked Other human beings who allow their dog to defecate on the site. In the same location. Multiple times. Dogs toilet. Foul people.
Also the other human beings who defecate all over the toilet seat and don’t clean up after themselves. Foul people.
Poor owners have the dehumanising job of cleaning up after these people.

Liked Very basic site but it's a bargain price. Simple toilets, showers and was facilities. We stayed on the top field, it does have a slope, but if you choose wisely it has little impact. Great location for getting out and about.
