What customers say
Beautiful riverside site with a family-friendly vibe and a great playground. Volunteers are friendly! Facilities are clean but basic, a walk from pitches. Note: boggy ground possible when wet, pool costs extra.

Liked Took my 11 year old granddaughter for her first camping trip. We absolutely had an amazing time at this site, it was so much fun. The atmosphere was great on the campsite, the people we met were very friendly and sociable, both the pool and play ground were great for the kid and adults! We had a very relaxed, enjoyable stay. Great base from which to explore Keswick and Penrith.
We will definitely be back.

Site as described. Short walk to toilet/shower facilities.

Liked The gentleman (volunteer) who came around and checked the campsite (sometimes on a bike) was such a lovely man. Taking time to speak to everyone in each visit and make sure we were ok.
Campsite was as described.
Booked here as it was close to River Lune for our paddle boards.
Pitch was big enough for what we needed.
Walking distance to a pub and convenience store.
Option to book and pay to use a pool. We didn’t as we had our dog with us and I didn’t want to leave him alone.
Only wouldn’t stay again as wasn’t suitable for what we ideally need for paddle boards.
Disliked Access to the River was not as easy as I thought it would be from the site. Manageable though.
There is a community park next to the site which anyone can visit. On our first night a group of people had to be moved on by another camper for being extremely loud at around 1am waking most the site up. No issues on the second bight so hopefully not a regular occurrence.
It could get really busy when wanting to use the shower facilities due to sharing with people there to swim.
Couldn’t get any signal on O2 or Three.
Toilet/ shower facilities could be cleaner. A mop is pushed around by a volunteer and appreciate the floors get muddy from footfall but some floor areas in the loo/shower cubicles would benefit from a deeper clean.

Recommended. This isn’t a typical campsite but we loved it.

Liked This place was fantastic - we stayed 12 nights.
Loved the playground for the kids and football pitch. Pool was great (albeit a little colder than we could handle for more than an hour).
Staff (especially Stuart) were really friendly and helpful
Disliked Not so much a dislike more of a suggestion
Either include pool in the price or discount it.
Would be great to have fire wood available to buy at the shop.
Anyway of having a washing machine would have been helpful.

Liked Really compact little site, very family friendly. Next to a fabulous park and the community swimming pool. Facilities shared with the swimming pool and pot wash and showers lovely and hot.
Disliked The site must get quite boggy when wet and they've put straw down to try and help it be less of a mud bath but it just ends up a mud bath with muddy straw mixed in or the dry straw ends up covering everything.

Liked Community led and simple site.
Disliked If it were to rain heavy lots of vehicles would find it difficult to get back along the track easily. No mention of the very tight entrance when you book.
