Eskdale Valley Campsite

Liked: Really enjoyed are stay in the Lake District, it completely changed are perspective on camping we had an amazing time being around nature and being free from daily life for a weekend. The locals were lovely and finding a campsite in a nice location was easy thanks to pitch ups easy booking system, will definitely use again.

Liked: Picturesque location with easy access to walks and wild swimming spots. Nearby pub.

Disliked: Although very quiet generally. 1 very loud and inconsiderate group disrupted our trip, we appreciate difficult for the campsite to manage, but it was still a problem.

Liked: Excellent scenery, clean campsite and well maintained. Plenty of hiking to do in the surrounding area with a good pub within walking distance of the campsite.

Disliked: No showers and the water from the tap had to be boiled to drink. Not an awful lot to to nearby if you don’t want/can’t hike.

Liked: Plenty of space on site and owner was very helpful, pulled us out of field when stuck with rear wheel drive car without being asked. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something secluded. Roads from Windermere very narrow, windy and tricky to navigate but worth it for the views of The Valley if you’re willing. Good access for driving to Scafell Pike

Liked: Very quiet, got toilets and bins.

Amazing place to cold water dip in the River Esk.

Disliked: Just the road is a bit tricky but not a dislike to be honest

Liked: Perfect campsite for us, loads of room and stunning views. If you into walking and wild swimming, then this is a great base. There is one porta loo and a fresh water stand pipe, basic but brilliant👍

Liked: Location

Liked: Amazing location and beautiful scenery. Spacious site and hardly anyone else there so there was lots of choice of where to pitch. Lots to do around the area!

Disliked: The ground was quite lumpy, hard and uneven all over making it difficult to pitch a tent securely. A big group of men on the site clearly weren’t courteous of the ‘9pm quiet rule’ or of the others staying there which was a shame as it made for a very knackered day after. We ended up staying only for one night due to a very leaky tent and lack of sleep so it felt like a disappointing end to an otherwise nice trip.

Liked: Brilliant campsite left to ourselves with plenty of space so no one is looking over your shoulder, definetly the most scenic campsite ive stayed at, breath taking views. no issues, would definitely stay again and very close to scafell pike with plenty of pubs around for food.

Liked: Nothing. Much better sites to choose than this one.

Disliked: This campsite is having a laugh. There is not any drinking water. They apparently put out a couple of bottles in the morning if you get them in time and only one portaloo for the whole site. No staff. Noisy music and nobody keeping people quiet. No showers or hot water. Much better campsites in Eskdale. Even pop up ones. Forget this one.
