Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful campsite, fantastic trails, pub right near by. We had the pizza on Saturday night and it was delicious! We also loved that there was no phone signal as a proper escape (there’s WiFi at the pub if you’re desperate for outside world contact).

Disliked: Be prepared for midges (not the fault of the campsite but something to be aware of in that area!) They do sell citronella candles at the shop and allow fires not on the grass which help keep them at bay. The showers were a little walk away but that’s not the end of the world!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely quiet site with brilliant access to some beautiful walking and links to the rest of the western lakes. Nice level pitches. The pizza on Saturday night was delicious and we were very grateful to warm up with hot chocolates in the cafe after a wet walk in the mountains!

Disliked: The midges were really hard work - take bug repellent and citronella candles! There was also no hot water for washing up or in the toilets and it’s an ongoing problem apparently. It would have been good to have been notified of this before arriving or been offered some discount on the fee.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Our absolute favourite camp site in the lakes! Beautiful views including a little brook/river. Easy drive with ample parking. Super easy to get the bus into Keswick. Very clean/ well kept bathrooms and showers. Showers have proper hot water. Friendly owners. Usually very quiet. Fantastic pub a 5 minute walk away. Above ground fire pits allowed!

Disliked: If I had any area for improvement, it would be hot water to the toilet taps near the camping site. But it is a minor niggle.

Local attractions

Dust off those hiking boots, for Seatoller’s surrounds are stacked with walking trails to suit all comers, from those seeking a gentle stroll through woodland and across heather-strewn fells to those in search of more vertical challenges. The beginning of a couple of the national park’s top climbs are easy to get to too – Great Gable (an hour and a half) and mighty Scafell (a couple of hours). Roam a little further afield for hikes on Catbells (15 minutes’ drive), around the Castlerigg stone circle (25 minutes) or on the slopes of Helvellyn (half an hour away, and a fine choice for mountain bikers too). If you’d like to have a crack at climbing in a controlled environment, try the via ferrata route at Honister Slate Mine, five minutes away, and worth a stop for an underground mine tour even if you’re not up to clinging on to crags. All sound a little tiring? Less demanding days out include the Lake District Wildlife Park (half an hour) and the sculpture trail at Rydal Hall Gardens (40 minutes). It’s worth knocking around Keswick for a bit too, visiting the eccentric Puzzling Place exhibition and Derwent Pencil Museum or taking tipples at the town’s brewery. Alpaca trekking at Lingholm Estate and Whinlatter Forest are some other splendid days out.
