Shepherd's camping pod

Liked: Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the farm. The pod itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the provision of stove, kettle and cutlery was great. The setting itself is stunning and waking up to that view was a real treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities.

Disliked: Perhaps the only point to mention would be that the fire wood provided was too damp to use so we bought our own which was no real inconvenience. Didn’t manage to get hot water in the shower but again this wasn’t a problem for us.

From the manager: Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely review - so glad you had a nice stay. The showers need to be run nice and hot with lots of flow to get the water heater to ignite! You should have mentioned the logs - we’ve had quite a bit of rain - I could have replaced them with a dry bag. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future. Joe

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Really enjoyed a few nights at this simple, quiet campsite. It offered far views over the valleys and hills (when the clouds cleared!) - every pitch had access to a firepit which was great on chilly evenings. Having direct access up onto the limestone pavement was a treat.... and the views got even better! Lovely warm welcome from the owner.

Disliked: Not having a separate sink for hand washing after the loo was difficult, i really didnt feel comfortable washing hands and cleaning teeth in the same sink dishes get washed in.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Excellent customer service, Joe kept us updated on the condition of the field as the weather was poor leading up to our stay. We had no problem with the access (camping in VW) and was so impressed with the facilities and how clean everything was. Beautiful location, just stunning views! We were so lucky to have the place to ourselves with just the sheep, horses and cows for neighbours! Despite the miserable weather, we had such a lovely weekend in this peaceful spot. Loved that there was a quick access up to the craggs which is a fab walk. We also walked to the pub in Lupton, which was a fairly easy walk but didn’t really rate the pub itself - expensive for lunch and the staff were more attentive to locals so would give that a miss next time we come.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The view, the quiet, the level well-groomed pitches, the simple clean facilities, the smallness and (mostly) the weather! Also liked the advice to approach from the south west. Lanes from the other directions are VERY narrow with very few passing places.

Disliked: No grumbles at all.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: My second stay this year. Brilliant site, although quite close to the motorway and an A road very rural and quiet. If you like waking up to cows checking out your tent or van over the fence, and sheep in the paddock next door you will love it. I stayed because I wanted to walk one of the three peaks in North Yorkshire, but it's very easy to get up to the lakes too, from this site. Joe the owner is a nice friendly guy and I'm already looking forward to getting back next year.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We had a lovely week staying at this campsite. Amazing weather, amazing location. You staying in the meddle of nowhere and at the same time close to everything you need. Very peaceful place just an hour drive from Lake District. Public footpath that leads you on the top of the hill where you can see sea side and all the Cumbria 😊 At the campsite, well maintained eco loo. Showers with a hot water. Also shared gas cooker and fridge available at the washing corner. We had a pitch number 3 that was perfectly leveled. Cars not allowed next to the tent but parking spot is just a few meters away. And we think it’s a perfect decision as you won’t be hearing how someone slamming car doors :) also we are very happy that this campsite have their rules about the quiet hours 10pm-7am, and no music, so you can just listen cows, birds and sheep's 😊 make sure that you look up when it’s get darker and if it’s not cloudy you can see sky’s full of star ❤️ Joe was very friendly and helpful. We where provided with very clear instructions how to get to the campsite. From now it’s our top place where to stay when we are out to Lake District ❤️

Local attractions

Ramblers’ biggest dilemma might be deciding upon which place to head to first. Straight to hikes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (25 minutes’ drive), where some goals might be to hike the Three Peaks or track down waterfalls like Ingleton Falls, Janet’s Foss and Aysgarth Falls? While you’re holidaying here, it might seem like there’s no end to the characterful villages and historic towns. Take Kirkby Lonsdale (15 minutes), for instance, with its independent shops and eateries, 14th-century bridge and Ruskins View over the Lune Valley. There are pretty views all over the place in the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) too. The two coastal villages are packed with hiking trailheads, ice cream shops and fish and chips shops. Over in the Lake District National Park (20 minutes) there are hikes such as The Langdale Pikes (55 minutes) and pretty towns like Bowness-on-Windermere (half an hour) and Grasmere (50 minutes). Those with a sweet tooth might appreciate Grasmere’s tasty gingerbread, while Wordsworth readers can visit a museum on his life.
