Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: So relaxing sitting outside our motorhome listening to the river flowing by 😊 The pitch was level too which is so rare these days The showers and toilets are ok Only 2 ladies toilets and 3 showers which are 50p but they run for plenty of time to shower and stand for a while Electric showers and hot with no button to keep pressing Location is great for local walks. We did the sawmill cafe loop Saturday which was a fabulous walk from the campsite through woods fields to sawmill cafe for food. Then back up hills the views were amazing ❤️ Also wass water is just over 2 miles left out of the campsite entrance. We went down in our motorhome early Sunday morning. It's very narrow but can be done if a careful confidence driver. Our motorhome is 7.5 metres. We parked in Becks national trust carpark and climb yewbarrow and looped round back through valley to carpark it was amazing. A scramble to get to top but we had our dog and managed. Fantastic pub 5 mins walk over bridge at campsite. Had a gorgeous Sunday dinner ❤️
Disliked: Facilities are a little dated but everything works ok They're are cleaned everyday But the odd time I used the shower late others before me hadn't cleaned their mess away. Nothing much I disliked to be honest

Liked: Clean toilets and hot showers, nice local pub and central location to complete some wainwright walks.
Disliked: Only critique would be the incline for tent pitching & WiFi was hit and miss.

Liked: That you don’t answer the phone, reply to voicemails, reply to emails. I tried to cancel change booking to another day as we had the funeral of my mother in law. We kept ringing you, even got in touch with pitchup, who didn’t get an answer, if I’m lucky would like my money back. I did state the reason on all messages left to you. Thanks for increasing my stress when supporting family.
Disliked: Not answering text, email, voicemail to change dates due to funeral, lovely considerate people.

Liked: Lovely campsite. Was greeted by Andy who made us and the dogs feel welcome. Shower / toilet blocks where spotless / good showers. Our pitch was by the river which was lovely for a morning dip for us and the dogs. Close by to many walks we completed. We will be back! Thanks Andy for making my birthday extra special! Appreciate it.

Liked: Nice sized pitch.
Disliked: Road immediatly behind pitch, only one footpath nearby for dog walks, our dogs being large did not fit through the entrance, walking the on narrow lanes too risky as large vehicles use them
