Lovely site well maintained
Electric gravel campervan pitch
Liked Lovely site, well maintained and clean
Disliked We arrived a little early but had to wait until bang in 3pm to check in even though our pitch was empty

Excellent site, lovely views. Well Maintained pitches.
Electric optional grass tent or campervan pitch (large)
Liked Lovely little site. All the amenities you need. Washer and drier for longer stays and free to use large fridge and freezer for non electric pitches. Showers facilities were excellent and the site was well maintained.
Disliked Being very picky to think of something but the track getting from the road to the reception was a bit like off roading at times, so that could be improved but apart from that nothing. I would also make sure you keep hold of your booking email as pitch up didn’t link with the site completely and it didn’t have the extra electric hook up that we had paid for on their system. Staff were lovely and it was all sorted when I showed them my email but could be tricky if you didn’t have it.

Liked The peace and space first night.
Disliked Showers way too hot could barely stand under and couldn't shower young kids. Second night group of young lasses and lads pitched up next to us. Wasn't so peaceful anymore didn't stop for the third paid for night. When booking rules for groups stated they weren't allowed.

Lovely stay but not great if you don’t have a car or transport
Valley View non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked The facilities, bathrooms and the staff were lovely and helpful. The croissant in the morning was great well worth it!
Disliked Unfortunately it’s very far from any public transport, I think it’s a couple of miles walk to the closest bus stop so not ideal if you’re travelling without a car like I was. If it was better placed closer to rail or bus links it would be pretty much perfect, that said if you have your own transport it would be fine

Lovely campsite with clean facilities and friendly staff
Lodge (hot tub)
Liked This was our second time glamping at this campsite, this time we chose the Rabbit's Burrow so we could enjoy the hot tub since it was my birthday trip. Last year in October we stayed in the Fox's Den lodge and both are perfect! We had everything we needed in the lodge and outood kitchen area as well.
They have updated the shower and toilet block and while they do look a lot better to the eye, much more modern and are kept clean, the showers have been replaced with sensor ones so you have to keep touching this little sensor button to activate the shower every 15 secs or so. I had the scare of lathering up in shower gel and then the shower wouldn't come on so I had to wrap up and run in the one next to me and that one eventually came on, luckily no one was in. I laughed about it after! They have 3 showers and 3 toilets for the ladies, big round mirrors, loo paper plenty, showers are hot enought (although I miss a removable shower head and a switch to adjust the water temp! not everyone likes super hot showers). Did the job!
The staff are lovely as always (Fiona and her dog Lola were there so we were happy to see them again). Onsite shop is well stocked and reasonably priced with everything essential you might need. They also do fresh pastries if ordered the night before and fresh coffee, too.
No food van this year due to staffing issues, however they did specify this in bold in our booking confirmation so we were made aware prior to arriving which didn't bother us.
It's one of our favourite campsites in The Lakes and we can't wait to go back. It was pretty much full when we stayed but still so quiet and everyone kept to themselves and we could enjoy the peace and quiet. Pitches seem levelled enough, some have electric hook-up too.
Plenty of lovely walks straight from the campsite and a pub not far. Laundry and fridge-freezer facitilies. Campfires allowed and the firepits can be hired from the shop (£5).
Firewood costs £6.5/bag and heat logs are £7.5, kindling+firelighters £2.5/bag.
We will certainly be back here again. Great value for money. Thank you Moss Howe team!
Disliked New sensor showers are not great and no way to adjust the water temperature
