Hawkshead, Cumbria, England
Bell tent
Liked The location of the site is absolutely stunning. Right by Lake Windermere. It doesn’t get any better than waking up to the sound of the water.
The tents are spacious and comfortable. The staff here are all so lovely. We hired a canoe and I was a little nervous but Sara was very informative and knowledgable. All the staff acknowledge you and care about this beautiful site.
Disliked There are no showers or rubbish bins but I knew this before I arrived so was prepared. It’s well documented on pitch up. I would book for longer if it had these amenities but I know they are trying to keep this site off grid for a purpose. We will be back again one day :-)

From the manager: What a lovely read, Natalie. Thank you again for choosing to spend time with us. We're absolutely loving sharing the space with bell tent guests ... waking up to Windermere sets the scene for the day perfectly, doesn't it. :) Thanks again, pleased you got out on the water, and enjoy the rest of the summer. Best, Sara :)
Pooley Bridge, Cumbria, England
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The views
Big open spaces
The option to buy wood for fires ( they provide old wheels as a base)
Which is lovely
Quiet unknown part of the lake district with beautiful local walks
Disliked Toilets - in a wood hut
Showers- beyond basic so didn’t attempt with my children
No on-site personnel
Didn’t matter on our visit but if some undesirable campers are onsite could pose a problem
This really is just a field

Liked It was so warm and toasty and very clean and comfortable. Spectacular views of loch Awe. Cute little shop a few mins walk away that does lovely food and sells alcohol and logs!
Disliked Didn’t realise just how far away it was from a main road! Be prepared to drive down a beautiful single track road for a loooong time! This makes it so stunning though.
