Liked: Lovely quiet site, excellent location between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales and close to the motorway. Extremely peaceful location by the river, great clean facilities and friendly helpful owners. Exactly what I look for in a site - everything you need and nothing you don’t, so not crowded or remotely noisy! The site is in walking distance of a great pub which is a bonus. Would definitely visit again!

Liked: We had an amazing stay at this campsite!! The owners were lovely, welcoming, and helpful and we appreciated all the effort that was made to make us feel at home. The facilities were clean and perfect, we enjoyed the warm showers and the recycling area was well organised and taken care of. The pitch was spacious and beautiful, with a lovely river that we got to paddle in. Thankyou for having us we will definitely be back again!

Hobby Wood unpowered grass tent site (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Great campsite in the beautiful nature spot, in the valley and next to a river. Facilities were clean and in really good condition, renting out a fire pit with all the wood and firefighters was a great addition for the cool evenings and served well for drying boots. The owner of the campsite was really helpful and friendly, transported all of our heavy gear down the hill and gave us a ride too. Due to no cars on the campsite I felt relaxed as I didn’t need to worry about my 2 year old running in front of the car. It was only a short drive from Kirkby Lonsdale which was nice to explore. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: My friend and I stayed for a weekend with our girls and what a fabulous time we had. The campsite is beautiful, the girls enjoyed the river running through and paddling in there, the hammocks, the sheep and the cows. Shirley was incredibly helpful bringing our things down to the tent and then back up again. The toilets and showers were very clean and equipped with everything you need. The location was great for getting to Windermere. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Liked: Such a beautiful site, peaceful, well kept and very inviting. We stayed as a group this year after vising previously and falling in love with the site. Far enough away from anything to encourage outdoors and socialising but close enough to shops etc if you need anything. The owners of this site are extremely accommodating and will check to make sure your happy
Disliked: Nothing at all
