Liked: Plenty of space on the campsite Great location Great views of Blencathra Decent hot showers Plenty of space to pitch your tent away from other campers. Easy access to the Northern lakes. Good price compared to other Lake District campsites which are becoming a rip off for a solo campers that just require a basic tent pitch, toilet and a hot shower

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The location was beautiful, surrounded by mountains and we decided to pitch up in the bottom field beside the river. The facilities were very clean, with the toilets and shower block situated in an old barn conversion. A place for people to meet and charge their devices if necessary. Very clean and spacious.
Disliked: I would have preferred a hairdryer to be available but it's nothing major and doesn't take away from the lovely stay.

Liked: We found the campsite to be everything we needed. The barn with toilet and shower facilities was perfect. Easy check in by just texting the campsite owner. Plenty of fields and pitches to choose from.

Liked: Showers were hot, good washing facilities, plenty of space on the site to spread out. Stone car park by the facilities if you don't want to dive the car through the fields.
Disliked: Bit muddy at gate entry points but to be expected with the wet weather.
