By the Beck primitive grass tent campsite (Private restroom amenities)
Liked: Fabulous little campsite. No frills but just the most gorgeous location by the river. Kids loved the hammocks. We had a pitch with a private compost toilet & shower which whilst basic was very clean and perfectly adequate, and plenty of hot water in the shower. Owners super helpful in transporting our stuff from the car to the pitch (not far but a very steep hill) and explaining the lovely walk to the pub. Loads to do and see in the area but also a lovely place to just chill. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: Really nothing! Don't come if you want facilities with bells & whistles but if you're happy with basic camping it's perfect.

Liked: Lovely setting, friendly host, clean toilets. Easy access for trips to Lake District & Yorkshire Dales. Didn't stay long enough to try the showers, but they looked clean too! Several families staying whilst we visited. Great price.

Hobby Wood primitive grass tent campsite (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Excellent camping site, great pitch, hot running water for showers which where very clean, not over crowded, loved the green space and hammocks. Very good stay!
Disliked: The car park to the site is down a steep hill so transporting camping equipment back to the car with 2 x small kids is difficult. No shops nearby.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review, so glad you loved the space, its always good to see children running and paddling in the Beck, sorry the weather wasn't a little more kind to you all. We must have missed helping you with your equipment back to the car, sorry, we usually use the gaitor or ATV and children often talk about the transfer to the pitch as one of their favorite parts of the holiday. Shops are not within walking distance, but Kirkby Lonsdale a picturesque market town is just under a ten minute drive away, they have a supermarket, fabulous butcher and lots of independent retailers, added to the the famous Ruskins view which can be seen from the churchyard and river walk this makes it a popular destination for so many of our visitors. We would love to see you return some time in the future. Thank you once again.
Beautiful location, views and a clean site with wonderful hosts.

Alders Edge bell tent
Liked: Beautiful site , peaceful, clean and such gracious hosts. Shirley and her husband were on hand with anything we needed including an ice pack for my daughter and a much appreciated change of tire when we woke up to find a flat tyre this morning (just as we were leaving!) Highlights include: - beautiful river/ beck with their friendly cows greeting us in the morning - hot shower and composte toilet that was always emptied and clean (we stayed in the bell tent so this was private) - ANYTHING we could have needed for camping from cooking equipment to kids books and toys to the fluffiest blankets to keep warm at night - the best views and stars at night which were the perfect accompaniment to the fire pit Overall 10/10 and we hope to come back again! Location is also perfect for exploring the Lake District. We were glad to stay out of the busy Windermere area but were close enough to get there and the surrounding area with ease. Thank you so much for everything :)
Disliked: Nothing at all.
