Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Fantastic lakeside location. Excellent access for kayaking or paddle boarding. Lovely onsite pop up bar which is open on an evening and morning for coffee. Very friendly staff. We liked the fact we could choose our own pitch rather than have one allocated and the wheelbarrows were very handy to transport belongings from the car to the tent. The showers were hot and there were pegs to hang your towel/ wash bag outside of the cubicle. Great that there's somewhere to charge phones and there were also fridges in the chill out zone.

Disliked: Definitely bring crocs or flip flops for the toilets. The floor was constantly muddy near the showers which I can only imagine would be worse when it's wet outside. There was never any soap to wash hands that had ran out so bring your own. I would say they could do to be cleaned twice a day rather than once, but equally it's camping, it's not designed to be glamorous!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely friendly site, nice welcome when we checked in. It's a "pop up" so the toilets and showers are in a container but they all worked and were cleaned to a reasonable standard. There's a bar on site with some fire pits and chairs so it's a nice spot itlf you want to be social. Very close to the lake (my son ran from the top of the site to the lake in 2 minutes) with a little pebble shore to launch from. We really liked this site and may well go back.

Disliked: Just make sure you use the link in the booking email or what3words to find the site. Google got confused as the Graythwaite estate is quite large.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: This place is just brilliant ! Stunning location right on the shores of Windermere with easy access to the lake. Really clean facilities with on site fridge and freezer to use as well as somewhere to cook and eat under cover if you want and even charge your phone. Funky little pop up bar and cool fire pits to hire. Friendly hosts too. What more could you want ?

Disliked: Nothing !

Local attractions

As the largest lake in the national park, Windermere is skirted by a good range of attractions, with something here to suit a variety of tastes. For a peaceful retreat, spend a few hours exploring the 30 acres of gardens at Brockhole (30 minutes' drive), or take the kids to Hill Top (10 minutes) to visit the former home of much-loved children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. For boat trips, you'll be a 10-minute drive from the handy Windermere ferry that connects the eastern side of the water to the west, or you could head to the Steam Yacht Gondola at the northern tip of Coniston Water (25 minutes) for a stylish jaunts aboard a well-restored Victorian vessel that was first launched way back in in 1859. A network of lovely lakeside footpaths is accessible directly from site, but for something more challenging try a hike up the Old Man of Coniston (25 minutes). There’s also the option of embarking on the difficult but very scenic Struggle Trail from Ambleside (20 minutes) before calling in for a well-deserved pint at the Kirkstone Inn.
