After a 9 hour drive from Hampshire, we arrived and were met by Andy who was extremely helpful and friendly. The site is small and well maintained and away from the mainstream areas, yet only 6.5 miles from Wasdale Head if you fancy a look at Scafell Pike or a visit to the smallest church in England. Site amenities are more than adequate and clean and WiFi works well if you require Internet access. The showers cost 50p for 10 minutes which is money well spent as they are powerful and hot. The Bridge Inn is a 3 minute walk across the river and serves decent food and liquid refreshments at similar prices to those in the New Forest. A nice quiet site with a lovely river running along the edge, away from the maddening crowds which we will definitely use again on our next visit to the Lakes. Well worth the trip.

The Bridge Inn staff, snuffing out the log fire at 9pm every night, despite the freezing temperatures outside.. meanies

The pitch was excellent with beautiful scenery and walks. The facilities very clean and we had a friendly welcome.

No WiFi and no ariel coverage 😕 we like to watch a film later at night but after failed attempts unable to get the smart tv working, first time this has happened as we have travelled to Cumbria on several different sites. We will definitely go again but take a DVD player.

Beautiful site and location
Sleeping to the peaceful sound of the river
Walking to Wast Water - we took the scenic route there and the road route back
Good size pitches
Well maintained for the time of year
The Bridge Inn food was amazing (hubby was pleased it also had football - little booths with individual screens and low volume so others are not disturbed - nothing like a football pub, just had the option :)
Hot water in showers with clean shower curtains
Clean toilets and showers - yes they are dated but absolutely clean - nothing to stop us returning
Wifi intermittent but hey look where you are!
Friendly, welcoming, informative warden - thank you!

The river is lovely and the pub right next to it was nice. Great location to scarfell pike and the deepest lake in the uk. The guy looking after the site was very friendly.

Our favourite campsite yet! And we’ve visited more than a few.
Friendly staff, second to none views & surroundings, peaceful & picturesque.
The facilities are spotless & the grounds well kept.
We stayed 4 nights & just didn’t want to leave.
The pub next door is a bonus too.

The location was perfect for us we went kayaking at Wast Waters and ate at the local pub just 1 minute walk away.
The toilets, showers & cleaning facilities were all of good standard and regularly cleaned during our visit.
The site was quiet with plenty of different pitch sizes to choose from.

Some of the roads surrounding the site are very narrow and potentially not suitable for a caravan.

We booked this site back in March and was looking forward to our visit. On arrival we were shocked to see this site was really run down and nothing like the pictures on the website. Grass was 5 - 7 inches long, Elsan out of order.

Most of it, toilets out dated and not clean.

Tidy campsite

The disabled toilets were not cleaned for days. The other toilets were covered in cob webs
