What customers say
This neat, tranquil spot has awesome views & welcoming hosts. Clean facilities often have nice extras. Guests love the peace, scenery, & easy access to the Western Lakes. Minor bits: farm animal noise & pitch levelling/access issues are being sorted.

Gypsy caravan
Liked What a beautiful friendly site. We stayed in the gypsy wagon. Clean tidy and very warm. Heating was put on prior to our arrival. Good location for visiting surrounding area. Toilets and showers clean and hot water in the shower. Would highly recommend anyone to stop here.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Nice site, good views and facilities. (there are cats).
Fully-serviced gravel campervan pitch
Liked We stayed in a van conversion. The location is very good, and close to where we wanted to cycle. The toilet block is good, clean, and only a short walk from the pitch. We briefly met the owners and they were both very friendly.
Disliked The only issue for us were the cats, there are a lot of them, and as we cook off the back of our van they became an issue. If you cook internally then this is not a problem, and in other reviews you will see their friendliness as a plus.. Are you a cat or dog person :) Other than this it was a pleasant stay.

From the manager: I am sorry that the cats were a nuiscance. We ask that people do not feed them but some people disregard this ask. Thank you for your review. Sorry I could not spend more time chatting with you. My Dad is quite poorly in hospital which at the mkment is tsking up a lot of my time

Gypsy caravan
Liked Beautiful caravan with everything we needed! There were so many cats too all of which were so friendly. And the owners were especially kind. Me and my partner had the car smashed into at a previous hike spot and they were very accommodating considering our situation being easy that our check in time was much later than expected. Excellent spot and everything was clean and wonderful we really enjoyed our stay thank you!

Great site. Lovely cats with farm animals. Clean site and reasonable £
Sheep Fold shepherd's hut
Liked Great little clamping place. We stayed in sheep fold and there’s everything we needed and well decorated. Toilet annd bathroom is very clean. Even we stayed during storm Dave and we felt safe inside this cosy pod. Definitely visit again!

Fully-serviced gravel campervan pitch
Liked Such a lovely site. Quiet and beautiful views. Some lovely touches too - washing up liquid, towels in the shower, a little shop in an outdoor cupboard with an honesty box.
Disliked Just the lock on the toilet door. Difficult to close and more difficult to get out! It is February though so likely the door is swollen.

Really great unique site. Just what we needed.
Electric gravel motorhome pitch (XL)
Liked Lovely quiet, clean site. Good facilities, welcoming and good warm and clean showers and hair dryers. Felt safe.
Great location got Western lakes and Eskdake
Small and unique
My daughter loved the cats!
Disliked Slightly tricky to lock the smaller toilet/shower door.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. I will look at the lock on the door and would have attended to it immediately if it had been brought to my attention. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
won’t be staying again. The 9+ rating for pitch up is no way true.
Fully-serviced gravel campervan pitch
Liked The view and the gentleman who greeted us
Disliked The size of the pitches are very small
The toilet block is in major need of upgrade . The shower was disgusting!! Other peoples hair and what looked like gloop in the plug hole. Anything insect wise was in there. The sooner I could get out of there the better.
Walking around the campsite you had to watch out for car poo.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The reviews were from Pitchup who look at the reviews evertone gives. Since your visit we have ypgraded the electucs so lights come on automatucally and have added background heating to the showerblock.
There were other people staying on site and we cannot be responsible for the state the showers are left in after use. They are cleaned every day and there are cleaning materials left in the showerblock if someone wanted to clean a facility themselves.
So sorry you were disappointed.
