What customers say
This spacious, scenic park offers lovely woodland and river walks, a hit with families. Visitors liked the friendly staff, spotless facilities (incl. baths), and the bakery. Some reviews note dated restrooms, spotty cleanliness, and noise. Touring spots can be tight/uneven, and Wi-Fi is unreliable. The pub no longer serves food.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (super)
Liked Lovely site in gorgeous surroundings, toilets and showers were fairly modern and compared to other sites I’ve been to were very clean. Nice reasonably priced bar serving food, and the Guinness was well received as was the steak pie. Great little shop selling all the usual essentials at reasonable prices. Super friendly staff. Didn’t bother with the WiFi so can’t comment on it.

A decent friendly site in need of a bit of updating.
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Walking along the river on an evening was very peaceful. There’s also a walk out of the top of the site which goes up to Lowther castle which I’d recommend. Lots of statics on the site, everyone seemed very friendly.
Despite it being busy it was fairly quiet by 10.00 / 10.30pm.
The shop was excellent and all of the staff we met were friendly and helpful.
Even though the shower blocks are a bit dated they were usually very clean. There was plenty of hot water.
Disliked The touring pitches felt cramped, gaps between units weren’t well enforced. To be fair it was high season and the park was very busy. One neighbour with a camper pitched a pup tent (which to be fair the site doesn’t actually allow) so close we felt like they were in our van. The warden did try to catch them to ask them to take it down but then didn’t come back.
One of the shower blocks looks to have been recently updated, the other is in need of it. There were no mops in the block to clean up before or after a shower.

Lovely site with gorgeous walks and river side spots
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked I love the fact there is a bath in the shower blocks at lowther!
Disliked The pitches are very close together. A lot of cars just randomly parked on the grass and empty pitches.
I paid for WiFi- don’t do it, it didn’t connect most of the time.

Overall we had a lovely stay and enjoyed our time.
Anonymous Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The surrounding river and walks, the games room for the kids, the park areas.
The toilet and shower facilities, while they arnt new and perfectly clean at all times they are nowhere near as bad as some reviews make out, they where definitely clean enough and fine to use throughout our whole trip.
Disliked The loud rowdy group of famies who played music till midnight shouting basically loudly partying on our first night, once they left it was lovely. We wouldnt of minded as much if it was expected but the strict no music and quiet policy we expected a quiet peaceful site. Very small tent pitches meant i felt like we where sharing a tent with four other families we could hear everything from their tents.

Would come again but wouldn’t camp I would rent a caravan
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The staff were lovely, very clean site, the bath in the shower block was an amazing idea my daughter loved it.
Disliked The tent area is on a slope it made things tricky everything slide off tables and the site was very noisy not even kids it was adults screaming and shouting till gone midnight some nights. I understand it’s holiday but be maybe a couple of checks on the camp area at night to check everyone is being respectful.

Liked Quiet site from traffic, lovely setting in the trees and woodlands. Beautiful little river running by the side of the site. Nice pub with good food and friendly staff.
Disliked Toilets and shower blocks need cleaning and updating. Broken toilet seats and graffiti all over the toilet doors. Standard of cleanliness not brilliant but acceptable
