Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Wonderful stay on a peaceful sight. Clean portaloo's on sight and lovely pitch beside the river. Great added bonus of the fire pit which was dropped off at the pitch with wood etc... Nice pub about a 1 minute walk from the site. Really close to South Lakes Safari Zoo and a great place to stay to explore the South Lakes.

Rebecca G. Aug 2023

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The site was great, lovely flat ground to camp and amazing surroundings with a stream running through the campsite which the kids loved and a pub across the road. The zoo was just a 5 minute drive away and local town not much further. The owners were fantastic and greeted us on arrival, lovely and friendly!

Disliked: Nothing, hopefully we will be back next summer

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely comments. Look forward to seeing you next year.

Lovely place basic but costly for what there is 25.00 for child 6 & 1

Local attractions

For active times, check the forecast, pack proper kit and prepare to climb fells like Orrest Head (40 minutes' drive), just above Windermere, or head to Whicham (35 minutes) to scale the heights of Black Combe. For further sporty options, you might like to hire a paddleboard or wind-powered vessel at Coniston Boating Centre (35 minutes) and head to Go Ape Grizedale (35 minutes) for an excellent treetop obstacle course. Of course, there are other ways to take in the natural splendour of the Lakes – a trip aboard a steamer in Ullswater (an hour), going sightseeing around Aira Force waterfall (an hour and 10 minutes), or riding the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (45 minutes) are all good ways forward if you're looking for spectacular scenery without too much physical exertion. Finally, to learn a little about the area's past, turn to the timeworn ruins of Furness Abbey (10 minutes), the industrial heritage of The Dock Museum in Barrow-in-Furness (15 minutes) or admire the magnificent house and gardens at Muncaster Castle (45 minutes).
