Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely staff, lovely site..would definitely return.
I didn’t really get full use out of the site just used as somewhere to pitch up while I prepared for the Lap, so if I’m silly enough to do it again I’ll definitely use Skelwith only 25mins from the start of the Lap if any Lappers are looking for a place to stay won’t go wrong here.
Showers and Toilets perfect 👌

Excellent site.
Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Well stocked shop. Friendly staff. Clean and warm toilet / shower block (underfloor heating). Level campervan area. Very quiet site. Feels smaller than it is, because made up of smaller areas in woodland. 10 minute drive to Ambleside. I think there’s free wifi, although I didn’t use it as there was also good phone signal.
Disliked Nothing to dislike
