Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: View was incredible, site was extremely clean, pitches well spaced out and limited in number. Owner was extremely helpful and welcoming. Access to washing machine and tumble dryer.

Disliked: Single shower and toilet between about 10 people was problematic at times.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Whole setup is well thought out with things within easy reach and logically situated, the one toilet and shower works as it's very compact site and it meant minimal chance of queuing, and that view is stunning.

Duncan M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Fabulous site and directions when needed. Very small and totally rural, being on a hillside near Ullswater. Hence two curlews flying noisily overhead in the early evening.

Disliked: Not a problem for us as we had only one other couple on site to share the sole toilet/shower room combined. Had all four lots been occupied that might have been inconvenient. Pun intended.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely site in quieter part of the Lake District.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Amazing views, fab location and excellent shower facilities. A warm and friendly welcome on arrival, giving this campsite a good feeling from the start. Quite hilly, but a lovely walk around Mungrisdale from the campsite - lots to see and absolutely beautiful - along with a traditional pub to call in on the way back for food, drinks or just a coffee. What more could you ask for??!! 😍

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Beautiful scenery and wonderful view towards Blencathra from all pitches. The grass pitches are in a row, so unobstructed views in front and trees and owners garden behind. Friendly and informative owner. Very clean facilities. Games available for children. Good recycling system. Fire pit allowed, as long as it’s off the grass and fully contained. Walking and cycling direct from site. Pub in the nearby village is walkable if you’re able bodied. It serves food but check times as shut on 2 days a week. There was a menu and opening times pinned to a wall in the utility room. Local area leaflets available too. Also on site were some self catering cottages that looked nice.

Local attractions

From the site’s dramatic location in the Lake District National Park, you’re well set up for rambles and bike rides straight from your pitch; a little further afield, take your pick of Underskiddaw walking route (15 minutes’ drive) or the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path (10 minutes) for riverside strolls and plenty of dramatic views. Explorers on four wheels can be on Solway Coast beaches or exploring the plentiful ruins of Roman forts, towers and turrets along Hadrian’s Wall within the hour. If you’re overnighting on the way north, Gretna Green and the Scottish border are around 45 minutes by car. Big-hitting Lake District attractions like the watersports hotspots of Ullswater and Thirlmere are within 15 minutes’ drive, and other outdoorsy sorts of days out include hopping aboard a Segway to tootle around Whinlatter Forest Park (20 minutes) or letting the kids loose in the adventure playground at Lowther Castle and Gardens (25 minutes).
