What customers say
Popular campsite with stunning views of Blencathra. Offers spacious, relaxed pitching. Facilities are basic but clean. Great for hiking, though expect queues and some sloping pitches during busy periods.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great location and good facilities but too noisy for us.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great location and lovely views. Facilities were good, plenty of loo roll, hot water and plug points to charge phones etc.
Disliked This was a very noisy campsite with people up and being loud until 2am. The grass needed a good cut.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked stayed here for 3 nights, with my friend and our 2 toddlers. Great campsite, easy to find with stunning views. Great location to explore the lakes. It's great you can just book and go in without having to check in/out.
Plenty of space.
Disliked Didn't dislike anything, but the field was quite sloped and the toilets are up this if you camp at the bottom (neither bothered us but might bother some people)
