Liked: Such a beautiful time...reconnecting to nature, in a stunning location surrounded by the Lakeland fells. We found a lovely flat spot near the river, it was the most relaxed I've felt in a long time. Great hot showers, wash up points and relaxed space...

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Good location and easy to reach, nice option to have fire pit for rent which was great, toilets were clean and well kept and showers were lovely and hot, didn’t have to wait too long for showers etc. Washing up area was clean and well stocked. Host was so friendly and helpful too! Highly recommend the railway walk from Threlkeld to Keswick, it’s lovely! And the pub in Threlkeld, Horse and Farrier, is definitely worth a visit
Disliked: Would be good to have gloves to carry down the fire pits, and perhaps a bin at the top to empty the ash into when we returned it! Just to save you a job, would’ve been more than happy to do that!

Liked: Plenty of space on the campsite Great location Great views of Blencathra Decent hot showers Plenty of space to pitch your tent away from other campers. Easy access to the Northern lakes. Good price compared to other Lake District campsites which are becoming a rip off for a solo campers that just require a basic tent pitch, toilet and a hot shower

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The location was beautiful, surrounded by mountains and we decided to pitch up in the bottom field beside the river. The facilities were very clean, with the toilets and shower block situated in an old barn conversion. A place for people to meet and charge their devices if necessary. Very clean and spacious.
Disliked: I would have preferred a hairdryer to be available but it's nothing major and doesn't take away from the lovely stay.
