Liked: I travelled with my son who is 24. The site is phenomenal, stunning beauty all around. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful our spot for the tent was. I loved every minute of my stay. It has everything we needed and perfect for walks/hikes, whether you want to set off from there by food or take the car. Ullswater lake is visible from certain parts of the site. Staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities clean and modern.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike for us, what we expected but better!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful location, friendly staff, plenty of room, lovely views, tasty food from the chippy, easy to access.
Disliked: It was a shame we couldn't have a campfire as that is one of the main things we love about camping. Sitting around a fire, watching the flames, roasting marshmallows etc. We've never been to a campsite that didn't allow fires. No drying room available which was needed given the torrential rain. Other sites have drying rooms.
