What customers say

Spectacular mountain views & peaceful setting, great for hikers/swimmers. Hosts Chloe & Linden are super friendly. Facilities, esp. showers, are spotless. Great access to Windermere/Ambleside. Pity about some uneven pitches & one noisy night, but it's mostly ace!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Picturesque setting with some fantastic views. Not too busy and quiet and peaceful. Helpful hosts. Would like to come back.
Shower and toilets were basic (as described in listing), but were kept clean. Liked walking around Staveley's hills.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked One of the most beautiful, peaceful places we have ever been! We loved the clear view of the stars with no light pollution and the absolute quiet apart from the odd bleat from a sheep. Beautiful 20 minute hike up to the yarn for a paddle and more amazing views. Easy path walk down to the village for a great pub, amazing bakery and a play area the kids didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing!

A charming up in the hills feel, with all the essential facilities.

Jason P.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Scenic location. Easy to turn up and find your own pitch. Lyndon came around to greet visitors in the early evening. The facilities covered the basic essentials and were well thought out. The shower was clean and a good size to change in, it had shower gel for the forgetful (me). The two portaloos were freshened up before nightfall and were very clean.

I had a new wild camping tent to try out. The site is up in the hills, so not level, but I found a good pitch. I stayed on a Bank Holiday Friday and everyone seemed to find their own spot to suit the size of their tents, even turning up late.

Friendly hosts with good communication and hand drawn map to find the site. You get a remote feeling but without foregoing the things you need.

Local attractions

Hikes directly from the pitches head up to rugged Brunt Knott (25 minutes’ walk), or you can try for the peak of Kentmere (nearly two hours). A longer ramble leads to Brant Fell Viewpoint (2.5 hours) for views over Windermere, or you can take the kids on gentle strolls around the lake’s shoreline instead (20 minutes’ drive). Once down by the lake, pop into Windermere Jetty Museum (also 20 minutes) to see the displays of historic boats before hopping onto a steamer for a cruise on the water. You can book dinghy sailing at Windermere Outdoor Adventure Centre (20 minutes), or try kayaking and windsurfing from Hodge Howe Watersports Centre (15 minutes). Most kids love the interactive Peter Rabbit-themed exhibits at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (20 minutes), and you can also visit Potter’s former home at National Trust-owned Hill Top (45 minutes). If you’d rather not stray so far from home base, feed the calves and Herdwick sheep at the Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre (15 minutes).
