Liked: A lovely site with a great location, lots to do in Borrowdale and close enough to climb Scaffell Pike, also within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. The site itself was simple but had everything necessary for a comfortable stay for 4 nights, with clean toilets and showers (a short but pleasant walk away from the campsite) which were open 8am to 8pm. Daniel the owner was friendly and was able to lend us a fire pit to raise our fire off the ground. The site was quiet at night, had a good choice of well maintained level pitches, and we enjoyed the wildlife on site. There is no signal or WiFi but it was nice to go off-grid!
Disliked: The only slight issue we had was the number of insects flying around us which put us off sitting outside our tent, but this is to be expected in a campsite and location as wild as this!

Liked: Beautiful campsite, fantastic trails, pub right near by. We had the pizza on Saturday night and it was delicious! We also loved that there was no phone signal as a proper escape (there’s WiFi at the pub if you’re desperate for outside world contact).
Disliked: Be prepared for midges (not the fault of the campsite but something to be aware of in that area!) They do sell citronella candles at the shop and allow fires not on the grass which help keep them at bay. The showers were a little walk away but that’s not the end of the world!

Liked: Lovely quiet site with brilliant access to some beautiful walking and links to the rest of the western lakes. Nice level pitches. The pizza on Saturday night was delicious and we were very grateful to warm up with hot chocolates in the cafe after a wet walk in the mountains!
Disliked: The midges were really hard work - take bug repellent and citronella candles! There was also no hot water for washing up or in the toilets and it’s an ongoing problem apparently. It would have been good to have been notified of this before arriving or been offered some discount on the fee.

Liked: Our absolute favourite camp site in the lakes! Beautiful views including a little brook/river. Easy drive with ample parking. Super easy to get the bus into Keswick. Very clean/ well kept bathrooms and showers. Showers have proper hot water. Friendly owners. Usually very quiet. Fantastic pub a 5 minute walk away. Above ground fire pits allowed!
Disliked: If I had any area for improvement, it would be hot water to the toilet taps near the camping site. But it is a minor niggle.
