Unpowered grass tent site
Liked This was a family friendly camp site with all you need for a nice time away to spend quality time. The views are spectacular and the owners/managers are so lovely.
There is a communal room with fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster and kettles free to use. There is also TV, seating, board games and leaflets on the local area, you can also use the onsite WiFi here if needed.
There is toilets and a shower block and they sell a few things at the onside shop.
Overall this was a lovely place we just picked the coldest days of summer to camp and couldn't fully enjoy ourselves.
Thank you for the friendly welcome!!

Great place, will be back next season
Unpowered grass tent site (riverside)
Liked Amazing gem of a place. Fab location, easy to get to different locations around chmbria and around 20 minutes from Keswick.
The riverside pitch was fantastic, the perfect backdrop for a few days of peace and quiet.
The views from the main pitch were spectacular, could have happily stayed there for days.
We were a little late for check in due to traffic but a quick call to staff and it was no problem. A nicd bonus to have the fire pit and logs available on site.
The site had everything you need, including a communal area with fridge/freezer, toaster kettle etc. Plugs to quickly charge devices.

Camping pod (no pets)
Liked This is the second year staying in this beautiful location. The pod was just as comfy and relaxing as the year before. The staff at the whole site are lovely, friendly and always happy to chat even though they are busy people! Doesn’t help when I couldn’t remember the opening times of the reception area but even though I couldn’t.. there was always someone there to help! Thank you so much for a wonderful week!

Camping pod (no pets)
Liked This is far and ahead the best family friendly camp site I’ve ever stayed in!
My son and I stayed in a pod, it was clean and comfortable. The site was vibrant but peaceful and all the facilities worked well. It was safe enough for my young son to wander around and explore a bit. Reception staff were very friendly and easy going. I’ll definitely be back.
