What customers say
Amazing Ullswater views and a welcoming owner. Spacious pitches offer a 'wild camping' vibe. Great base for exploring, with a nearby pub. Basic portaloos available. Mostly great value, no-frills camping, despite some mud/noise.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great campsite. Great host. Great atmosphere. Would recommend 10/10
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked -lovely host- Sophie was laid back, friendly & extremely helpful.
-lovely big field. Even during the summer holidays; still huge, huge spaces between tents.
-great views
-great for families/groups. It’s a noisy campsite- but I prefer that over campsites where everyone has to be in bed by 10pm! It has a great atmosphere. One of the campers had a projector on his van, and everyone on site was welcome to bring up a chair & watch some films.
- it’s the sort of campsite where the kids all make friends & run around together with a football. Where there is groups of friends laughing around campfires.
We enjoyed it so much, we stayed for an extra night.
Disliked There’s nothing I can fault. It’s not luxurious, but that’s part of the charm.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Nice big space (although a little boggy down the bottom, but to be expected) and plenty of toilets
Owners could not be more helpful if they tried, always a text away and ensuring everyone is okay
Also pulled me out of the mud for free!
