The Paddock primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Typical campsite with basic amenities. Just as we wanted. Lovely views, easy access and friendly staff
Disliked: Local walks are not easy access on foot, still need to drive too. Showers could do with a little more power.

Skiddaw-view camping pod (two person)
Liked: I love being on a farm so this was perfect. Horses, cows, pigs and sheep and not many humans..my perfect getaway :-D Love the pods, single beds are big and the kitchenette is a great addition to my normal camping. The private garden to the pod was brilliant for my border collie. Thanks for a lovely few days camping at cardewlees :-)
Disliked: The weather but this is Britain after all, we still walked some of Hadrians wall as planned :-)

From the manager: You were a pleasure to host! Sorry about the weather, I will make sure to order some sunshine next time x

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Not much
Disliked: Facilities need updating & organised plots could of been assessed
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Our facilities are basic but always very clean. Our pricing structure reflects the fact that we don't have an all-singing, all-dancing toilet block. Our listing stipulates that we don't allocate pitches. We have never had any issues with this as the camping field is huge for the amount of pitches we offer.
Rural site on a working farm. Basic facilities.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Beautiful views. Large grassy field. Would be good for kids to play on. Fire pits provided.
Disliked: Rubbish around our site had not been cleared. Can’t check in till 3 and check out is 10 No walks from the site A walking route has been made to get towards the town but it is large hard core stones which are very difficult to walk on. One of the gates had something dumped beside it which smelled terrible. Its then a walk through an industrial estate.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am unsure about what you mean about rubbish around the site. The pitches are checked daily, and my number is scattered around the site with a message asking you to call if you are unhappy with anything. Check in and out times are fairly standard and advertised on the listing, although you do have the option to add either an early check in or a late check out for a small fee if you so wish. The track from site takes about twenty minutes to complete which then finds you in Dalston Village where you can join the last part of the Cumbria Way or enjoy a walk round Dalston Green and the numerous other footpaths. You pass through an industrial estate for a few minutes before crossing the railway bridge.
