Liked: Lovely spacious site. Nice walk for the dogs too in the mornings.. super facilities, used the bar both nights.. great shop, enjoyed a fabulous tasty chippy on the first night and the toilets and showers were lovely and very clean. The staff at reception were really friendly and helpful. There was even a shuttle bus. We will definitely be back.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Clean tidy site with a coffee shop, shop, bar and chip shop Site is well laid out but pitches behind reception are quite tight if you have a large caravan to get in and out but are big pitches with water and electric on the pitch Close to the lake and many places close to visit Staff are fantastic and a credit to the site Playground was amazing kids loved it especially the zip line

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful location, friendly staff, plenty of room, lovely views, tasty food from the chippy, easy to access.

Disliked: It was a shame we couldn't have a campfire as that is one of the main things we love about camping. Sitting around a fire, watching the flames, roasting marshmallows etc. We've never been to a campsite that didn't allow fires. No drying room available which was needed given the torrential rain. Other sites have drying rooms.

Very helpful, friendly staff, gave me a lovely welcome.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Brilliant site, we had a lovely stay with our three young children. The play park was excellent for them keeping them amused while we got set up and sorted. The onsite site chip shop was a lifesaver after landing quite late on the Friday evening! The staff were all very helpful! Just a short car journey to various parts of the lake with plenty of activities to choose from! Look forward to our next stay!

Local attractions

The Lake District doesn’t skimp on swish sights and attractions, and many of the best things to see and do in the national park – from bushcraft and watersports to golf and tennis – are within easy driving distance of the site. For classic Cumbrian walks Hallin Fell is a 20-minute drive away and the market town of Keswick, where you can go from perusing a pencil museum to dancing around the megalithic Castlerigg Stone Circle, is reachable in 25 minutes. A bit south of the town of Penrith (20 minutes) are the prehistoric Mayburgh Henge and Norman Brougham Castle. Other well-known Lake District settlements are also within easy reach along winding roads, like to Windermere (45 minutes away) and Ambleside (50 minutes). And if you fancy a crack at cantering instead of sitting in the car? Horse riding can be had from stables within a 15-minute drive, while guests who prefer roving on a revving vehicle can squat upon a quad bike and set off into the local lands (25 minutes from the park).
