Liked: Great little campsite ,everything you need for a nice wild camp. Owners absolutely brilliant,came out to service the toilets and came to speak to all the campers. A lovely family,helped with anything we needed. Stunning location and scenery with a local pub nearby . Plenty of toilets,massive bins for all rubbish and 2 taps to get water from the spring. We even got a visit from the pet parrot Rocket which was a lovely touch.

Liked: How big the area of the campsite was and how much choice we had to where our tent was put. I also liked how the campsite owner always was around and popping on site to check the facilities and how lovely she was too. Was a very quiet area with absolutely beautiful views on a morning. Wasn’t far from the little village neither and plenty to do in the area.
Disliked: Couldn’t dislike anything about this stay as we really enjoyed the time we spent here.

Disliked: Not the campsites fault but we got unlucky as a lot of groups staying who partied until after 1am. We chose this site as it said no large groups

Liked: Very easy to find, and a very spacious field. The owner made regular rounds ensuring everything was ok and everyone was happy, offering fire pits and burning logs. There were more than enough toilet facilities, as well as what I assume was a faucet. Amazing view at the Ullswater lake, and no light pollution makes it a perfect spot for star gazing.

Liked: Just spent 2 nights here on our very first camping trip, me and my 16 year old son who has several disabilities. Communication was excellent prior to the trip and directions to the site were spot on. This is not a full time camp site, it operates on Fri and Sat nights only on a working farm, there are several field taps and porta loos. The owner Sophie is lovely and obviously a very hard working young lady, she checked on us about 3 times each day to see we were OK, they also offer fires and wood if you need them. The location is amazing and the views wonderful and even a pub just down the road. Me and my son loved our stay and will definitely return shortly. Thankyou Sophie for a great stay. The added bonus is Rocket the parrot whom flys about the site landing on the tents etc.
