What customers say
This is a beloved, family-run working farm campsite offering spacious, level, fully-serviced pitches with excellent views. Guests praise the peaceful atmosphere, friendly hosts, and the convenient on-site honesty shop. Its location is ideal for walking and cycling, with easy access to Keswick and local pubs. While the setting is authentic, shower and toilet facilities are basic and dated, though generally clean and functional with good water pressure.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked The pitch was excellent, virtually level so no need for ramps. Water, electric and grey waste on pitch. The site it on a working farm and was lovely to see the sheep being driven through by the dogs. Set amongst the trees with a babbling brook behind us it really was a fantastic stay with plenty of walks to explore.
Disliked Showers & toilets could do with an upgrade but everything works as it should with plenty of hot water.
