Liked: Very friendly and informed person at the house. Easy to understand and great map of the site which clearly showed our pitch and where the facilities were. Well maintained site, really good toilet and shower blocks. Excellent price. Not feeling cramped.

Liked: liked everything about this place. The lady who owns it came to greet us and showed us to the pitch. Toilet block 20 feet away with shower room next door. Walked into village 5 minute to the Oddfellows pub. Very cosy and welcoming pub. The site is extremely clean with a shed for washing up. Plenty of hot water. There are picnic bench's with every pitch and a fire pit. £6 a bag of logs. The owner came round with large plastic mats for the front of your tent so you don't trudge mud inside. I would highly recommend. We are already planning another visit in a couple of weeks time.

Liked: Incredibly run little site. Clean and well kept. Toilets and showers excellent, dishwashing hut with a phone charging point was a bonus. Great location. Each pitch is marked and most have a table and firepit. The owners have thought of everything.
Disliked: Not much.

Liked: Caldbeck camping site is situated in a beautiful part of Cumbria along a river and is a great place for walking and hiking. It is well managed and has good facilities including separate male and female toilets and also showers. It has a sink for washing pots in a separate building. There are pitches that have fire pits provided, which are on small cement slabs. Caldbeck is a small village and is a short stroll from the camp site. There is a pub and a few shops including the Millhouse, selling handcrafts and collectibles and also cafe. The couple who run Caldbeck camping are friendly and helpful. This is not a large camp site, so we found it a great place to meet others and also to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Liked: Small though perfectly formed next to Caldbeck village and river/beck side campsite. Spacious clean showers and toilet building. Well equipped pot washing, with lots of info on the area and village. Well tended grounds and pitches, with access to a slower stretch of the river/beck near the end of the campsite, also access to woodlands/walks via a gate. Fire pits and picnic benches on the pitches. This is the second time I have camped here, my grand daughters loved it and it is certainly a favourite now of mine, can’t recommend it enough. Good mobile signal (I’m on O2 network) Campsite and owners are fab, the village is lovely and peaceful, with places to eat/drink and buy essentials. Keswick just over half an hour away, with easy access to other sightseeing places. A selection of electric hook up pitches, though we stayed on non ehu for the weekend. Very thoughtful touches, like access to solar usb charging in the pot washing building and lots and of info about the local businesses, really makes your stay. I wish all sites would put as much thought into everything ❤️
Disliked: Nothing, apart from having to leave (my grand daughters asked to live here)

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Good size pitches. Due to all the rain the camp site provides mats to go in front of your tent to protect the grass and save on muddy footprints in tent. Very clean bathrooms. We where pitched next to the river. Nice quiet site and nice to sit and watch the sheep and lambs in the field facing. Lovely welcome. Nice pub round the corner. In all a great site at a great price.

Disliked: Nothing - liked every bit of our stay.
