Louise was very welcoming and offered me a choice of fields to park up in. The views are lovely and the site is quiet (apart from the 5am cockerel, but hey, it’s a working farm!). The campsite is rustic but has everything that you need-rustic but clean loos and showers, always loo roll, always handwash, and a washing up station with hot water, washing up bowls & washing up liquid provided. The loos had a bit of trouble (one got blocked, then the other flush broke) but both issues were sorted quickly and without fuss which is exactly what’s needed from an attentive host. Coniston is a 10-15 min drive along the scenic road so easy to nip back to town.

Only minor negative is the hot water in the loo sinks didn’t work, but hot water was available immediately outside in the washing up area.

Beautiful view, well appointed facilities, lovely hosts.

The view!

Loved the location, loved the atmosphere, loved the kind support and helpfulness of the owners.
It as a beautiful place in a warm family farm.
The animals were amazing the people were amazing first ever 10/10 in 30 years of using sites like this.

Noting, loved everything.

Views were stunning

Toilets filthy, showers were cold, dirty and just a trickle. Vines were growing through the shower roof. The pictures of the toilets on the website are from 2014 and it's clear they have not been maintained.

The free roaming farm dogs peed on our tent doors twice and chased and growled at my on lead dog!

The ground was so stony we struggled to get tent pegs in.

There was a large group in the railway pods that were partying into the early hours. We had booked 2 nights but left early the next day.

We couldn't address any of these issues at the time because the owner's phone just rang out then went to answer machine several times

Friendly welcome and amazing views! Lots of free to use fire pits although they ask you to only use wood bought from them. Roaming sheep goats and ducks so make sure to zip your tent up!

Turns out it’s a lot further than a 30min walk to a pub, a 4 mile round trip on foot which after a day walking proved a step too far

Great campsite, Louise was extremely friendly and helpful. Location was fantastic with a lovely walk to the village

Owners were laid back and helpful - plenty of choice for pitches. Beautiful and peaceful site with a variety of lovely farm animals roaming around the farmyard. Would definitely return if in the area.

Lovely site in a quiet, gorgeous area. Lots of wildlife and farm animals on site, very friendly farm dogs! I liked the fact it had in-built showers and toilets for use - well maintained and easy access.

Louise and John were so friendly and welcoming- we purchased wood from them and used the fire pits provided. It was lovely!

A 20minute drive from Coniston, we completed the Old Man of Coniston hike whilst there - lots more to do around the area. Well worth a visit!

The ground is rock hard from lack of rain and generally rocky terrain with it being within a valley - we really struggled to pitch the tent in the ground and tried multiple locations on the site but it was all rock hard. Definitely bring really strong tent pegs or even something more substantial, and a strong mallet!

Louise and John were so lovely and lended us some strong yard nails to use to pitch the tent - can’t thank them enough for ensuring we were able to pitch safely!
