Liked: The views from the campsite were definitely the best thing.

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

Unpowered grass tent site

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.

Unpowered grass tent site

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.

Liked: Amazing views, great toilet facilities (all clean and well maintained), great access to local amenities and tourist locations! Would definitely visit again! :)

Disliked: There were a few noisy groups of guys which stayed up all night drinking and listening to their music which made it very hard to sleep however this was not the Campsites fault!

Loved the view, campsite was 15 minutes away from shops. Campsite owner…

Liked: Campsite was basic, as described, but served its purpose well. Good location, just pitch up and off you go. Shame 1/3 of field is sloped also so arrive early at busy times for a good pitch.

Disliked: Needs a few extra toilets and more toilet roll on offer as it often ran out. Also didn’t see the natural spring, which would do well to be signposted, assuming the water is drinkable.

Local attractions

Drive down to Pooley Bridge (five minutes by car) at the head of Ullswater for yomps along the Ullswater Way encircling the lake. Father south, stop off at the National Trust car park (10 minutes) and walk up to the impressive Aira Force Waterfall, inspiration for the poem ‘The Somnambulist’ by William Wordsworth, written in 1833. Experienced hikers may care to drive to Patterdale (15 minutes) and clamber up Helvellyn for spectacular Lake District views, while others may settle for a stately voyage around Ullswater aboard the historic steamboat ‘Lady of the Lake’ from Glenridding (15 minutes), itself a pretty lakeside village with tea rooms and souvenir shops. Lowther Castle and Gardens (20 minutes) has imposing and photogenic ruins of a massive mansion as well as parterres and parkland to wander, or you can buy marmalade – reputed to be the best in the world – at Dalemain Historic Mansion and Gardens. If you hit a rainy day, catch a film at Rheged (both 10 minutes).
