Ann M. Sept 2024

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: I loved this campsite! My first time camping and I am booked again for 4 days in October. Excellent facilities, I love the communal room. Very clean site and very friendly. Beautiful views and very easy to find.

Disliked: You have to purchase a fire pit was was £20. The wood would not burn so I didn't think it was good value at all. It should be £10 and bring your own wood etc. The WiFi was non existent! The ground was also quite stoney and hard so struggled with the tent pegs a little.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Location. Friendly owners

Disliked: Lack of dog poo bins.only one shower block with 3 in. Would be very busy in summer months.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: HI Dog mess goes in any of the bin areas placed throughout the site - there are issues with people misusing specified dog-mess bins with general or recyclable rubbish but we will look into this. With regards showers - there are in fact 3 shower blocks on-site, containing a total 9 shower cubicles. We have never had issues with over use, even on the busiest of bank holidays, and there is always plenty of warm water having gone 90% self sufficient with our own electricity production this year. Best regards Mark Amanda and Mark

Host was extremely polite and helpful but I can’t remember her name…

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Host was extremely polite and helpful but I can’t remember her name . Site was very clean as were toilets, showers and washing up area were all immaculate . Lovely site in a peaceful location and the allocated hard standing areas for camper vans are huge and this gives you the privacy from the next pitch. Great site would stop again but hopefully without the rain ! 🙂 Mike, Nicola and Stanley the dog

Local attractions

Ullswater is the nearest of the lakes at 10 minutes’ drive away, so that’s as good a place to start as any – stop by at Aira Force waterfall on your way down there, then get down to the lake itself for waterside walks, steamer cruises and various watersports – or even a wild swim if you’re feeling brave. Over on the banks of Derwentwater, Keswick (15 minutes’ drive) is another good place to explore, with a brewery, The Puzzling Place and the Derwent Pencil Museum as well as boat trips and paddleboards to hire. Walkers of all varieties have much to choose from around here, from gentle lakeside wanders to uphill scrambles at Blencathra and Helvellyn, both of which are close by. The folk on the farm are happy to suggest routes to suit – or point you towards the likes of Dalemain Mansion (15 minutes), Mirehouse & Gardens (20 minutes) or Lowther Castle (25 minutes) for stately-home strolls.
