Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: I travelled with my son who is 24. The site is phenomenal, stunning beauty all around. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful our spot for the tent was. I loved every minute of my stay. It has everything we needed and perfect for walks/hikes, whether you want to set off from there by food or take the car. Ullswater lake is visible from certain parts of the site. Staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities clean and modern.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike for us, what we expected but better!

Liked: Lovely campsite, facilities were modern and clean, WIFI reached where we were pitched well, dog friendly, peaceful and beautiful

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (large, twin axle)

Liked: Proximity to the wash rooms and the peace and quiet. Pitches were well spaced out and there was a water pipe at the pitch. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Disliked: Despite the great natural setting sadly there was no access for a decent dog walk.

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

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the great feedback.

Great stay but needs a drying room and should permit campfires.

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.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we will take this into consideration for future projects.

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

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (large, twin axle)

Liked: What a beautiful, quiet and well serviced site. We were travelling at a time when we'd expect the place to be quiet and this is what we like. I can imaging the site will get very busy during school holiday times and, with a big play area, it may well be busy and a little noisy then, but it would certainly be a great place for a family to stay. Toilets block was spotless and hot water plentiful in the showers. The Bar and games rooms were excellent. I'd stay here again without hesitation.

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).
