What customers say
Tá an campa seo, atá á chothú go maith i sráidbhaile álainn, molta as a háiseanna glana, lena n-áirítear cithfholcadáin te, agus páirceanna leathan, cothroma, go leor le boird picnic agus tithe dóiteáin. Tugtar faoi deara a atmaisféar síochánta, an suíomh cois abhann, agus an dlúthpháirtíocht le siúlóidí agus áiseanna áitiúla mar theach óil agus siopa. Cuireann na húinéirí, atá cairdiúil agus cabhrach, le taithí dhearfach. Luaitear uaireanta madraí gan léas nó torann ó dhaoine a théann thart ar an gcosán poiblí, ach is gnách go mbíonn aiseolas dearfach níos mó ná seo.

Already planning on coming back in 2027. Very relaxed feel to the site
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We stayed on pitch 9, Really large pitch. Toilet and shower block right next to pitch, loved the early morning view of the sheep on the field. Seen various staff members checking on the facilities, lots of places to walk close by. Shop pub, Cafe and shop within walking distance to site.
Disliked Weather

100% reccomend!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Perfect stop on the Cumbria Way! Very helpful host, great facilities, immaculately clean, lovely sheltered wee cabin to cook or wash up in out of the weather, solar charging point for phone/battery pack, and what a joy to have a warm cosy shower with so much room for getting dried and dressed!

A really nice site in a fabulous village setting. Some minor issues.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Facilities are clean and to a good standard. The pitches are spacious, relatively flat and each has a pic-nic table.
Disliked Lighting in the area of the toilet block is on all night which affected my sleep. There is a wood cabin/ bothy with a solid floor. Unfortunately the occupants moving around with their shoes/boots on and the creaking door in the early hours also affected my ability to sleep well.

Beautiful, peaceful little site.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved everything about this quiet, peaceful countryside site on the edge of the village. The beautifully kept grass pitches varied in size and each had a picnic table. I booked for a small campervan and had a huge pitch beside the river. The facilities were good and spotlessly clean, and the site was amazing value. The village has a fantastic pub, tearooms, shop and other facilities, with lovely walks in the area. The site itself is on the 80 mile "Cumbrian Way" walk-so most of the campers were walkers who were resting overnight on their journey.
Disliked Nothing at all, except to say that sadly I was on the last day/night of my trip when I stayed-would have loved to have stopped longer.

Fantastic stay, perfect for switching off from the world.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This was our first time camping as a family of 3 and prior we were nervous our little one would get bored. But this lovely little quote site allowed us all to switch off and relax. Spend time together and move away from the technology.
A great little site, the pitch we had (No.2) was huge and right next to the stream-get for relaxing with a book and coffee next too.
Friendly welcome, and would see the host on the site daily, ensure bins were empty and facilities were clean.
There is a facilities block in the middle of the site, with x2 showers and M/F toilets. Cleaned regular by owners.
Showers were decent/clean and never had an issue with hot water.
Small little kitchen area for washing dishes.
Site provided BBQ stands and fire pits at each pitch.
There is a stream running along the site, which was lovley to walk round and explore.
Yes, there isn’t any WiFi, communal space or park if you have kids, but this was one of our main reasons for booking. Staying here is what you make it if a family. There’s a lovely village a 5 minute walk away, small local shop, a few gift stores, a few cafes and a delicious pub (oddfellows arms)- definitely book a table of visiting for food as it gets busy in the evening. Our favourite place in the village was midtown milk house- going daily for fresh milk and milkshakes, they also have some amazing local and fresh produce.
Plenty of nature, amazing views and scenary to take in and explore. Would recommend the Whelpo bridge walk starting from the site it’s self and also the Scarness Bay/Bowmess Bay Circular walk (25 min drive from site to Bassenthwaite lake), both are easy walks around 2 miles perfect if you want a stroll or have round kids. Provide some lovely sites to explore and incredible views.
We will definitely be back to this site.
Disliked There wasn’t anything to dislike for us during our stay.
If I had to pick one thing it would be having the remember the codes to the bathroom and showers- and that tells you how good our stay was it that was the only thing to mention. (And it wasn’t really a problem)
