    Great stay for the week. Close to Winlatter forest, for mountain biking and good walking.Fairly basic site , right in the middle of North Lakes, it had all we needed. Close to a pub , shops are about 4 miles away, walks straight from site.

    We could all camp together as there was plenty of space, the field that we were in also had no children around which was good for both us and the dogs. Very secure so we could let the dogs off the leads around us without them escaping!

    Disliked: 

    The toilets and showers were a bit dirty but with the rubbish weather you can’t really help that most of the time and with the amount of people using them it isn’t a surprise it’s hard to keep them clean!

    The weather, which is absolutely nothing to do with the site!!!!

    Site would have been even more beautiful in the sun with a campfire and a bbq going, instead we took shelter in the nearby pub haha!

    Disliked: 

    Toilet and shower facilities were not great. They were very dirty and smelled very badly. You don’t expect too much for facilities at a pop-up site but it was particularly unpleasant during our stay.

From the manager...

Hi Annie,

Thankyou or your review the rain this weekend has been torrential which won't have helped with your camping trip. We regularly clean the toilets and showers but with muddy boots in and out and the amount of rain we had mopping was pointless! However we did keep them well stocked and upped our cleans!

We control as much as we can but we can't control what felt like a monsoon 48 hours 😂

Thanks

    Ground got very waterlogged and muddy. Toilets and showers are portable cabins so very basic.

From the manager...

Hi Anna,

Thanks for your review!

We are only able to open for 28 days so we have to use portable facilities however we hire the very best facilities possible and clean constantly!

It'd difficult with flat fields because they are great for camping but when there's rain it does get wet, so much for our heatwave August! 😂

Thanks again Ruby

    Perfect location - short driving distance to Keswick. Surrounded by so many beautiful walks. Very friendly and accommodating. Basic facilities (toilet, showers and washing up) were clean and well stocked for a camp site!

    Great hosts, really accommodating, chilled and friendly. Good email communication when I had some questions before travelling up. They even kindly took in some parcels for us (our food box and our mini speaker).
    The field is really well kept and stayed pretty sturdy even after a few bouts of rain.
    The toilets were pretty good for camping pop up toilets, yep they were stinky as heck but they were cleaned each day and emptied at least every few days. They were those kind of pop up posh flushing toilets in cubicles that had chemicals instead of water. With water and soap for handwashing and always a decent stock of hand tissues for drying. Always well stocked with bog roll too.
    The showers are decent, and even though there were only 4 for the whole campsite, we only found ourselves queuing twice in the 6 days we were there. Plenty of hot water too.
    The location of the campsite is really handy in walking distance of Catbells, Hawes activity centre and a really nice pub.
    The campsite hires out fire pits with wood (although we took our own pit we did end up getting some extra wood from the hosts which was super handy). Most mornings there was a coffee wagon that sold bacon butties, crepes and decent coffee (and more), and in the evenings a local ice cream van pitched up for an hour or two.
    Really great campsite and the other campers there were really pleasant too.
    Also the views around are amazing, but thats not hard when youre smack bang in the middle of the Lakes!
    Great campsite, great hosts - very much recommend to all.
    (Also doggo friendly)

    Disliked: 

    A one dislike but nothing major given we went during school hols and it being a family friendly campsite.

    Kids kicking balls into the side of the tent and running through our designated area - but most of them listened when asked nicely not to or to move further away. Was only really a bother when cooking and having hot stuff around, but would prefer those light plastic balls than heavy synthetic leather ones flying around.
