Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We pitched our tents on good glass land. It was quite not to many people. Our tents were secure when left then alone all day. The on-site facilities were clean with no dirt or filth.

Disliked: Only issue is the farm animals are a little loud at night. But that's expected for campers

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Good size pitches with water available on each one. Friendly helpful staff Fish and chip shop on site a couple of nights a week which is handy for a night off from cooking. Also a coffee shop, bar and well stocked shop. The Ulswater hopper bus stops at the site and takes you to the local areas. We didn’t need the children’s facilities this time but if we had brought our grandsons there would have been plenty for them to do.

Disliked: Nothing to really dislike. The noise of what sounded like a large fan could be heard through the night and was distracting until you got used to it.

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).
