What customers say
Beautiful, well-kept woodland site with river access, ideal for walks and cycling. Guests loved the clean facilities, friendly staff, and on-site pub/bakery. Lowther Castle nearby was a hit. Some noted uneven/tight pitches, minor noise/cleanliness issues. Highly recommended for families and nature enthusiasts.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Area is central for going to Penrith and ullswater good walks for dogs from the site to the castle and river walks
Disliked When we arrived on the Sunday the male toilets were smelly and the female toilets were dirty and smelly and were not cleaned until the Wednesday when I could not stand them anymore and went to complain (nicely) I had taken photos of rubbish on a sink which had been there since I arrived I also complained about the recycling buckets which were so full I couldn’t get my rubbish in them (photos also taken)however in fairness the toilets were cleaned every day afterwards and the buckets were emptied and remained satisfactory thereafter
I did also feel the pitches were very close to each other which was okay during the week but it felt a bit crowded by Friday and the weekend .i don’t think I will be back to this site but it wasn’t terrible and my family had a good holiday

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely ply area for children of all ages and it was a safe space for kids to roam.
Disliked Some kids were allowed to stay up late and were disruptive to the younger ones sleep. Not the campsites fault.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The park is in a beautiful setting with a great playground situated right next to the camping field. We were met with a very friendly greeting and access through the barriers was easy with a barrier code given. The tent pitches were a great size. We added on a small fee for a gazebo/shelter as we were meeting up with friends. This was also handled with ease and definitely worth doing as the weather was hit and miss! Everyone was really friendly and it was the perfect place for a 9 year old to run free.
Disliked The toilets/showers and washing up facilities are further away than you would normally expect for campers which is a bit tricky, especially with a young child.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Lowther Castle is a lovely walk away.
The playpark would have been fabulous if the weather had been good,
Disliked Very disappointing! given our pitch and just shown on a map. When we got to the pitch the caravan next door had an awning attached and the car parked on our pitch/grass so we had no option but to drive forward onto the pitch. You then could not even open the motorhome canopy if you wanted to as there was a tree next to it.
Young children running wild with no one watching them - noise well into late night was not what we had expected at this site. The lady on reception on departure didnt give a damn really.
So pitch for us was grossly overpriced - advertised with picnic table there was not one - we couldnt even connect up to the right electric point we had to trail the wire across and round the van. Feel completely mis sold by pitch up!!
