Beautiful, clean, peaceful
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful campsite with the best views. We stayed two nights and despite some noisy campers on the first night we had a great time and a really peaceful second night. Really clean facilities and friendly hosts, great location too it was easy for us to drive to Windermere and surrounding areas during the day. We had an amazing time and I’m sure we’ll be back!
Disliked The shower floor is a bit uncomfortable to stand on for too long but is fine if you wear sliders! Other than this the shower was an amazing addition and the cleanest we’ve ever used on a campsite

Beautiful campsite located in a hikers heaven
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The campsite was so cosy with breath taking views all around us and a hikers/wild swimmers heaven, it was perfect for us, it met all our needs and more. We were welcomed by the lovely owners Chloe and Linden who were so friendly and accommodating. The campsite was very well presented and I’ve never used a portaloo that was so clean and smelled so nice lol! My daughter especially loved the animals and loved how Linden let her interact with the animals who were all super friendly too. There were shops close by with Windermere and Ambleside a short drive away. We will absolutely be staying at this campsite again this summer!
Disliked Pitches are a bit uneven and rocky in places but that cannot be helped - there was plenty of space to find somewhere to pitch.

From the manager: Hi Victoria. Wow thank you for such a lovely, in depth, review. Your daughter was a delight, so helpful and friendly, helping us put away and feed the animals in the evening. I see a future farm hand in the making! Can’t wait to see you both back here.
All the best, Lyndon & Chloe
Wild camping views with good facilities and a great shower!

A must-visit campsite in the Lake District!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Frost Hole is a rare gem of a campsite! The views are spectacular, especially the sunsets, and Chloe and Lyndon are superb hosts. The hot shower was divine and the location is perfect for a hike or run up Brunt Knott and into Kentmere, or exploring Staveley and the Lake District. We’ll definitely be back!

From the manager: The views certainly are a wonder. Thank you for staying with us and enjoying the local areas, there’s so many trails and hikes to explore.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We loved this camping spot and will definitely be back! We were looking for somewhere quiet and more wild campy as opposed to some of the bigger campsites around, but still wanted access to a shower and toilet facilities… this campsite was exactly what we were after! Gorgeous views and a quiet and relaxed campsite. The couple running it live onsite and are really friendly and always around to help. They had drinking water onsite, a portaloo that was kept very clean and well stocked and a hot shower facilities too.
Disliked Nothing
