Hobby Wood unpowered grass tent site (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked: The site was lovely and quiet and the location was perfect by the beck.
Shirley and her husband were so helpful both before and during our visit - they were also really friendly.
The facilities were nice and clean and were regularly checked over. Flushing toilets and showers and washing up facilities - all you need really.
It was a great base to explore the lakes too as well as Kirby Lonsdale nearby. Fab ice cream shop and brewery there!
Disliked: Only a minor niggle and I worked around it with a towel on the back of the door, but you could see into the showers from the outside which I didn’t love. I think a little adjustment to the doors to cover the gaps and it would be perfect.

Liked: Great stay, the campsite is lovely. Beautiful views. The shallow stream was a hit with my 2 kids they spent lots of time there playing. Our pitch was by the stream with private facilities (gas shower and compost toilet which was surprisingly fine once you get used to it!) there are flushing toilets too which you can use. There is lots of space, pitches are big and not crammed in, hired a fire pit which included a huge bag of wood.
owner was very helpful and brought our equipment down to the field, the hill down to pitches is quite steep from the car park.

Hobby Wood unpowered grass tent site (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked: The site is in a relitivley remote but beautiful location. Facilities are fantastic and clean. Warm showers are always a bonus! Wadhing up facilities were great with provided sponges and cleaning products. My son enjoyed playing in the stream at the bottom of the site where we found a trout! We had one of the fire pits and logs (£10) which was ample for the evening. Shirley was very accomodating. She gave us a lift once we had packed up to the car park at the top of the hill. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitley stay again!
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: As a family we love camping here. The campsite is always clean and very well maintained. Shirley is an amazing host, she is friendly and great at communicating with us. The kids always look forward to coming here and don't want to camp anywhere else. They always say 'we're home' when we arrive. The campsite has flushing toilets and showers. The views are spectacular, especially late at night when the cloud clears up, you can see the edge of the milky way.
