Peacock Farm Camping

Me gustó Quiet site with great views.
Lovely walks from site.
Fantastic price at £10 per night!
Will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone.

Me gustó Such a beautiful campsite near a working farm and with mountain view. The property is vast and different elevations gives more privacy. You can see horses and sheep right next to the site. Short drive away from kendal town but gives wild camping vibes when quiet

Me gustó The campsite was peaceful, with plenty of space to pitch your tent.
The field is on a working farm but was tidy and the portaloos were kept really clean during our stay.
There was good phone signal and it was in an ideal location for us to be close to lots of attractions.
Extra bonus that the money goes to charity!

Me gustó We really enjoyed our stay at Peacock Farm. We are frequent campers but had never ‘wild’ camped before, so I wasn’t sure how we’d get on. But I think the plus sides of the setting made up for the lack of plumbing. We had a really lovely chat with the shepherd who talked us through all the different types of sheep they have, which we all loved.

There is currently two portaloos on site, which were absolutely fine as they were, but we just took anticbac wipes to keep them clean for the little ones. The loo roll was topped up as well! And not only that but the day after we arrived the farmer installed a sink unit that we could use for washing up - it was hooked up to grey water butts with their being no water on site, but even if it was hooked up to nothing, let me tell you it’s easier to washing up in a sink with your own water, than in a little tub! So we were appreciative of that.

We all said we would go back (three families camped) again and would be nice to see how the flock progresses next year

Me gustó The views, the quiet, the simplicity. The cost. The walks out. The "rock" climbing around the site for kids and the old tractor to investigate. Clean and well looked after portaloos. The sheep and horses :)

No me gustó Nothing, it was as described in their listing.

Worth noting the track up is narrow so go slow and steady. Also take lots of water with you.

Me gustó Simple, cheap and clean toilets

No me gustó No running water tap, I think even a simple water tap would be really great.

Me gustó I really do not like camping, but when your 5 year old granddaughter asks to go camping for her Daddy's 40th birthday, you can't say no.
I am so glad that we did though.
Peacock farm is in the most beautiful and tranquil setting. Andrew and his family are welcoming and helpful. The site is easy to pitch the tents on, although there may be some stony parts.
We enjoyed an early evening barbeque, we used a raised one which I would recommend. Veggie burgers for my daughter, beef for the rest of us, followed by toasted marshmallows on chocolate digestives (yummy) then a lovely walk to burn off those calories, giving Ronnie the horse and his friend a pat on the way.
We had planned to stay 2 nights, but Storm Floris had other ideas so we decided to quit while we were ahead, and dry!
Couple of things to note.
It actually cost less for 2 nights than the price of 4 ice-creams at Windermere!
It is a working farm, but there are NO animals in the camping field, so there will be animal noise and poo.
There is NO potable water, so bring your own, or you can get large bottles from Morrisons in Kendal. I believe there are plans to provide a dishwashing station in the future.
There is no electricity or WiFi (thankfully)
The toilets are portable and they were very clean.
To sum up. If you are looking for a peaceful, no frills, tranquil camping break then this is for you, but only for 60 days a year, and all profits go to Dreamflight
(www.dreamflight.org) a charity that takes children with serious illness or disability on a holiday of a lifetime to Orlando. So a win-win for everyone.
Definitely planning to go again next year and have my alert set up ready for it.

Me gustó The views were so picturesque and beautiful, very quiet and relaxing place if that is what you are after, we were one of only 3 other tents in the whole field - and it was a huge field! Really clean portaloos. Great to be surrounded by animals - sheep & horses.

Very cheap.

Perfect location for what we wanted, right in between Windemere and Kendal.

The staff member we met was really lovely, gave us some of his own water for washing up as we enquired if there was a tap, gave us some info about the sheep on the farm and said we could watch them being fed! Really helpful and lovely.

No me gustó Land is a bit uneven and not massively clear where to park and where to pitch up, car parking area is the most even part the rest is quite hilly. The track/road up to the campsite is very rocky and tiny, can be a bit of a difficult drive.

No water tap or showers but were made aware this is something they are looking into.

No bins for rubbish, unsure if we were supposed to take rubbish home with us?

As lovely as it was for it to be so quiet it did feel a bit strange to only be one of three others there in such a huge field, especially at night with no lighting - can feel a bit scary and isolating, as you really are in the middle of nowhere, just fields for miles. Even some solar fairy lights / outdoor lights would help with this I think. I think it depends what sort of trip you are looking for, probably perfect if you are looking to wild camp, we just weren't expecting it to be quite so quiet and isolated!
