Liked: The privacy of each pitch as they're each surrounded by trees. Also the really eco approach the campsite takes to everything was really nice.

Disliked: A bit of noise from the A road close by

From the manager: Well that's the lowest score we've had in 3 years and our usual review score is a 10 , hence the overall 9.7 rating, so that's a bit odd. Sorry you didn't like it here but all the information on the site is on Pitchup plus numerous photos and hundreds of reviews (mostly 10's) so you can easily research the nature of the site and facilities well before you book. No need to give us a poor score because the site doesn't suit you, so we're pretty unhappy about that.

Local attractions

You can see the Old Man of Coniston from the pitches on a clear day… and if that whets your appetite for scenic outdoor pursuits, you’ve come to the right place. Wainwright baggers can easily get to Kentmere Horseshoe and the other Far Eastern Fells from Ings Kippers, and it’s an easy two-mile journey to the shores of Windermere for wild swims, watersports or waterside walks (or maybe a leisurely lake cruise if you need a little rest…) This area is well-known for its links with Beatrix Potter too – if you’d like to find out more about the author behind the classic children’s books, take a trip to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (10 minutes’ drive), and then visit her former home at Hill Top (half an hour). It’s worth stopping by in Kendal (15 minutes) too – it’s home to a castle, a lively arts scene and lots of shops and places to eat. For a real taste of the local area, head to Staveley (five minutes) and a tour of the Hawkshead Brewery (preceded by a walk up Reston Scar if you feel the need to earn that pint…)
