Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The campsite itself was lovely: gorgeous views and the river running right alongside. It's in really beautiful countryside with Wast water and Scafell Pike an easy drive away.
Liz the owner was really friendly and helpful and gave us advice on nearby garages as we had car trouble. I also saw her helping other campers the next day who had car trouble. She came over to the campsite regularly to check on the campers and have a chat.
Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely camp here again.
