Liked: Excellent location right next to Catbells and not far from Derwent Water Didn't see any staff there but received a text message advising to camp where ever we wanted since it was quiet so had a contact number if needed
Disliked: Didn't have a bin but no major issue, just had to take rubbish home

Liked: The campsite is in a beautiful valley with a stream running alongside that is perfect for the kids the play in. The staff were really friendly and the showers were hot.
Disliked: There are not enough facilities for two large fields of campers. There is only one sink for washing up, which also happened to be the designated smoking area. We only stayed for one night, and it was a Saturday so I assume they had been busy all week and had no time to clean anything. None of the facilities were cleaned over night. I’ve never had to use such disgusting toilets. A woman came out as I went to use them first thing in the morning and she actually began wretching because of the smell. Think festival toilets in a heat wave. The only bin on sight is a skip across the road. This site could be amazing because of its location but it just wasn’t. We won’t be going back.

Liked: Scenery.
Disliked: The toilets smelt really bad the whole time and felt dirty. The pub was closed (this isn’t the camp sites fault) but would have been a better experience.

Liked: This was our second visit to this campsite . It is now our most favourite place to camp when visiting the lakes. Our daughter loves the stream that runs along side, the campsite is flat, busy enough but quiet at night are still plenty of room for the kids to kick a football around. minutes walk from a pub with views to die for. the most lovely walk to Derwent water without it being too much for little legs including a walk through the forest. Stunning views of catbells to one side and a forest to the other. The campsite has an ice-cream truck that visits at tea time and the family that run the site couldn't do enough to help you with whatever you need. ❤️ A special shout out to their daughter who made friends with our daughter making it even more fun.❤️
