Liked: Unbelievable stay at viaduct view , peace and tranquility with no distractions from phones and internet..... totally back to the way it used to be where you communicated with your friends verbally. Loved it . The ford was really good for cold water therapy in the morning and the sounds of the wild life was invigorating. Communications from viaduct view was first class and enjoyed our discussions at the site . Close enough to walk to Kirkby Stephen (3mile) but loads of nature reserves closer that you can go to within a short walk . I will totally be back
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: I liked how the grass was green, I like how there was goats and sheep and real life nature I also like that the toilets were clean and hygienic!
Disliked: I dislike that the fact the things weren’t working with the hot water, when turning on the hot water tap there was no hot water till about 20 minutes. road signs to the location could’ve been made a bit easier and a bit more signed post, I also dislike that you have to pay £5 just to park your car next to your tent.

Liked: Quiet site with sheep baa-ing in the background. Close to the town of Kirkby Stephen in the car. Cheap price for the weekend. I liked that we could stay all day on our last day and didn’t have to leave until later on.
Disliked: I didn’t dislike anything.

Liked: The view was spectacular very nice spot to camp.
Lots of open space for kids to run around, far enough away from towns to be a very peaceful site but still close to all the amenities you'll need.
Facilities were clean.

Liked: The view of the viaduct was amazing, luckily the weather stayed nice for our one night stay here. The toilet facilities were clean and tidy which is rare from a campsite in the sticks. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and will be coming back again very soon before the colder months come.
Disliked: The only thing we disliked was that there was no fire logs. It did say on the booking confirmation that there would be logs to purchase on site but unfortunately there wasn’t.
