Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great compost loo, porta loo and normal indoor toilet. Great warm shower and outdoor warm shower. Lovely hosts who show you everything you need to know! Beautiful view. Logs available to buy. Everyone has a fire pit!

Disliked: Nothing to do with the campsite, but be wary you can hear cars on the A road beneath the site through the evening and night. That being said, this is good in some ways as a local services is only about 300m from the campsite so great if you forget any supplies.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Stunning views, private feel to the pitches surrounded by small trees. Perfect location for exploring the lakes. Hosts were lovely and explained everything there was to know about the site on arrival. Lockers available to charge phones for free which was really handy. Small site so nice and peaceful, able to get a good nights sleep without being disturbed.

Disliked: If I had to choose something I'd say its the site being on a steep hill!

Local attractions

You can see the Old Man of Coniston from the pitches on a clear day… and if that whets your appetite for scenic outdoor pursuits, you’ve come to the right place. Wainwright baggers can easily get to Kentmere Horseshoe and the other Far Eastern Fells from Ings Kippers, and it’s an easy two-mile journey to the shores of Windermere for wild swims, watersports or waterside walks (or maybe a leisurely lake cruise if you need a little rest…) This area is well-known for its links with Beatrix Potter too – if you’d like to find out more about the author behind the classic children’s books, take a trip to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (10 minutes’ drive), and then visit her former home at Hill Top (half an hour). It’s worth stopping by in Kendal (15 minutes) too – it’s home to a castle, a lively arts scene and lots of shops and places to eat. For a real taste of the local area, head to Staveley (five minutes) and a tour of the Hawkshead Brewery (preceded by a walk up Reston Scar if you feel the need to earn that pint…)
