Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We were on our way back from Scotland and wanted to break our journey half way. So I looked for a quiet camp site near Penrith and wasn't disappointed by my choice. We arrived to an empty field adjacent to a field of horses. It was easy to check in at the farm house and the owners were helpful during our short stay. The lack of shower facilities could be an issue for a longer stay. As this is a new venture the owners might rectify this in the future. It didn't take long to get into Penrith for supplies or the shores of Ullswater. We did think about staying another day but my wife had to get home for her dental appointment.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The whole experience has been a blessing. Such a beautiful campsite with a level field, wildlife everywhere plus the horses from the farm keep you company. The owners are excellent hosts ( we were lucky enough to get some fresh eggs the first morning !)
We stayed in our van using a tent as storage, which was perfect as it’s our first time camping in the van.
The site is 20 mins max away from Aldi, go outdoors and a lot of drive in options as well. 25/30 mins from the most stunning Ullswater lake.
The facilities are basic and clean, drinking water available from the tap on the field with toilets just off into the farm slightly.
We used a truck stop 15 mins down the road with THE best showers we’ve had all for only £3.
Overall 10/10 from us, we’ve stayed two extra nights !
