Orchard powered grass tent site (medium, two person)
Liked: Perfect weekend away with a group of friends (couples). The owner was very accommodating and friendly. My electric lead was too small and so he very kindly leant me a longer one. He’s built a huge fire pit with benches away from fellow campers, perfect if there’s a few of you so you’re not disturbing anyone at night. He also supplied the wood and kindling for a fair price. I stayed on the Orchard field which has the benefit of mostly private pitches and my friends stayed on the Paddock field which has the most incredible views! The toilets and showers are regularly cleaned and are spotless with air fresheners and really nice smelling hand wash. There’s a freezer available for freezing your ice packs and 2 sinks for pot washing (with an INCREDIBLE view of mountains / waters). It’s an ideal site for relaxation, hikes and exploring the local towns.
Disliked: If you’re on the Orchard field, you can’t drive on to unpack and re pack the car. Wheelbarrows are provided instead so lots of back and forth which is a a sweaty job on a hot day.

Paddock powered grass tent or campervan site (large)
Liked: The pictures don’t do the views justice, even with the rain it was so gorgeous! Very clean toilet facilities and even had a games room with a pool and table tennis table. Owners were very helpful with recommending places for us to go, and showing us around the site. Wish we could’ve stayed for longer!
Disliked: No WiFi but the 4G signal was strong so this wasn’t really an issue in the end :)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Yep 4G signal is great from the site, while we continue to push for better wifi infrastructure provision in our rural location. Good top see you got some great walking in from the campsite.
A reall cracker of a site!

Liked: Lovely site to camp on with new modern toilets and wetrooms that were kept very clean and tidy. Nice and peaceful, owners are lovely and there if you need anything. The views are some of the best you will get. Highly recommend if you would like a quiet site with not many pitches.

Liked: Everything was amazing. The view, the sheep, the chickens, the facilities, the service. Only stayed one night but will definitely be back. A small campsite run by a lovely couple who are building something truly special. Being selfish, I’d like to keep it a secret but this couple deserve every success for what they are creating here.

Orchard powered grass tent site (large, five person)
Liked: This is such a beautiful campsite with amazing views and a decent walk down to the lake. You’re surrounded by wildlife and mountains. The owners were so attentive and friendly and all the facilities were spotless and really well maintained. Each pitch comes with a fire pit too which was so fun to use. You’re also just a short drive from towns like Cockermouth and Keswick for things to do during the day. Amazing value for money!
Disliked: The only issue was that the soil under the grass was very rocky around our pitch which made getting pegs into the ground quite difficult
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review and feedback on your experience. If you are struggling with your pegs not being strong enough, we do sell tough pegs, which are great for Lakeland ground conditions. Thanks for the review scores.
