2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Loved the safari tent and location. As 2 friends travelling with 2 dogs we like to have our own bed. The beds were super comfy and the space inside was perfect with awesome views of the valley from our porch. We weren't as keen on the eco toilets. Although clean the smell was gag inducing. Not sure about the showers, I managed one stone cold shower as could not get the hot water to work. Loved access to the walks behind the campsite. I always look for sites with access to walks for the dog. The geology with its limestone paths was really interesting. A heater in the tent would be good as it did get quite chilly at night.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Peace and quiet. The stunning locale

Disliked: A little expensive for a solo traveller, but to be honest, most places are like this. You pay for the pitch, not the number of guests.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We had a lovely weekend in the sunshine at Shepherd's Crag. We liked that it was a small site and sustainable. Joe was helpful and friendly. The views were amazing and it was great to be able to walk from the site up onto the Crag and across Hutton Roof. We would definitely stay there again!

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: We stayed in the new safari tent and had a lovely weekend :) The tent was a lovely set up, nice and clean and had all of your basics. The campsite is great with everything you need on a back to basics site, also facilities are easily accessed because there’s only a few pitches on the site so not too many people using them. Thank you for a lovely weekend :)

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Gorgeous views from the safari tent which was well equipped and set up lovely! Really enjoyed our stay on the quiet campsite. Remember your warm clothes as we found it a little chilly in the tent as there is no heating like some other glamping tents may have, however lovely and cosy in the comfy beds! The showers were clean and powerful. This was our first time using composting toilets which were kept clean although they did smell occasionally we wouldn't say this put us off our visit. Unfortunately somebody must have been smoking in the toilet and that smell for us was far worse. We would recommend this campsite to others and would love to come back! The children loved the oppertunity to see the live stock and it was lovely to wake up and see the sheep so close.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Gorgeous views, well kept small site with simple but pleasant facilities. The baby loved watching the cows come in to be milked. We'll be back!

Disliked: The only sink is quite high up, my arms got tired doing the dishes! A little step would be useful for us shorter campers!

Shepherd's camping pod

Liked: Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the farm. The pod itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the provision of stove, kettle and cutlery was great. The setting itself is stunning and waking up to that view was a real treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities.

Disliked: Perhaps the only point to mention would be that the fire wood provided was too damp to use so we bought our own which was no real inconvenience. Didn’t manage to get hot water in the shower but again this wasn’t a problem for us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely review - so glad you had a nice stay. The showers need to be run nice and hot with lots of flow to get the water heater to ignite! You should have mentioned the logs - we’ve had quite a bit of rain - I could have replaced them with a dry bag. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future. Joe

Local attractions

Ramblers’ biggest dilemma might be deciding upon which place to head to first. Straight to hikes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (25 minutes’ drive), where some goals might be to hike the Three Peaks or track down waterfalls like Ingleton Falls, Janet’s Foss and Aysgarth Falls? While you’re holidaying here, it might seem like there’s no end to the characterful villages and historic towns. Take Kirkby Lonsdale (15 minutes), for instance, with its independent shops and eateries, 14th-century bridge and Ruskins View over the Lune Valley. There are pretty views all over the place in the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) too. The two coastal villages are packed with hiking trailheads, ice cream shops and fish and chips shops. Over in the Lake District National Park (20 minutes) there are hikes such as The Langdale Pikes (55 minutes) and pretty towns like Bowness-on-Windermere (half an hour) and Grasmere (50 minutes). Those with a sweet tooth might appreciate Grasmere’s tasty gingerbread, while Wordsworth readers can visit a museum on his life.
