What customers say
This small, friendly working farm campground offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for hikers. Guests praised the beautiful location, convenient access to hills and public transport, and the warm welcome from owners. Facilities are basic but clean, with hot showers available for a small fee. Expect farm animal noises and limited cell service. Some felt showers and washing facilities could be updated.

Excellent site for adults and perfect for one night or a week.
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Absolutely lovely working farm with all the views you could want from a lakes location. Loved how near we were to Keswick, Derwent and Thirlmere. Site is small and adult only which is perfect for us. Shower, toilet and washing up area are basic but perfectly clean and functional. Host family were welcoming and farm dogs were brilliantly behaved. We’ll be back next year!
Disliked There’s nothing not to like here… it’s a working farm, if that’s not your thing then don’t book it!

Good location, small campsite, electric hook…
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Good location, small campsite, electric hook up reliable - worth noting it is a working farm so to expect smells and sounds as such, also can hear main road - didn’t bother me as a heavy sleeper, but can imagine being a pain for lighter sleepers!
Disliked No working hot tap for washing up area, which is also not covered so not ideal if caught in rain. Shower was poor, paid a £1 for about 2 minutes worth of (albeit warm) water. Mould in showers and bathrooms - could do to see a refresh!

Lovely campsite with beautiful surroundings
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked We stayed here for 2 nights on our way back from doing the NC500. Beautiful surroundings with cows, sheep, chickens and you could hear the donkey. The owner was lovely, very friendly and accommodating. Site was clean 👌 pub down the road, served really nice food.
Would recommend and definitely will stay again.

Probably a lovely site to stay at. Providing you are not on the lane
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked The site is close to Keswick which was ideal for us. We didn't use any facilities as we only stayed one night
Disliked Pitch that our friends and I was told to park was definitely not a pitch and for £27 night we thought it was expensive for what we got. We were parked on a side lane. This lane was a used road by residents and farm traffic. Couldn't sit outside and enjoy the views as there wasnt anywhere.

Everything you'd expect from farm camping. Good facilities but rustic.
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Good value, quiet, close to many great walks including Thirlmere. Cafe next door, gastro pub 1/2 mile along road. All camping facilities Inc hookup, albeit rustic (it is a farm). Beautiful hillside location if you overlook the farm buildings.
Disliked Showers cost £1 for 5 minutes and arent the cleanest. No phone signal or WiFi ( but available at cafe next door). Expect early morning farmyard sounds and smells.

Last minute booking and accommodated us…
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Last minute booking and accommodated us without any issue, welcoming and pleasant site, this is a working farm so expect a little noise. Beautiful surroundings, only a short drive to the lovely derwent water and Keswick.
signal is poor.
