Farm and Fell Campsite

Me gustó The site was in a great location, 15 minute walk into Sedbergh where there are some nice pubs with great food. The site is also 30 seconds walk from a river where you can swim or fish. Tent pitches were well kept, short mown grass and generally quite flat, each with its own firepit. The site has a barn round the corner from the campsite which has a stage and music (we visited bank holiday weekend) and a bar, you can also get food from here. The site owners also came round daily collecting bags of rubbish which I thought was really good. The on site facilities were generally kept clean and tidy and were fit for purpose.

No me gustó Although the facilities (toilets, showers and wash sink) were generally okay, there could be more of them and slight improvements for the size of the site. There are 3 toilets and sometimes you had to queue for them. The toilets could also do with a little bin in each. People were leaving some rubbish in them (not the owners fault obviously) and toilet roll tubes often ended up on the floor and wet and soggy. A bin in each toilet would solve this problem. There were 2 showers which were spacious but again, for the size of the site, people were often queuing for these, they were also affected (temperature and power) by the wash sink outside. Lastly, there was 1 sink, for the whole site, I think this needs increasing in numbers also.

Me gustó Great size site, friendly farm animals, onsite Barn with Music/Entertainment/Bar/Bouncy castle open select weekends which is great serving food and breakfasts very reasonably priced. You can do a lovely streamside walk, only 10/15min walk into Sedbergh. Fire pits at select pitches and wood available to buy. This is our second year at this camp site the owners are really friendly and helpful they don't stop bless them.We will be back again. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Me gustó Nice location and pitch. Barn bar, band and bouncy castle brilliant

No me gustó Family side was loud partying until 3. For the price I would expect more toilets, showers and sinks compared to other similar sites.

Del administrador: I’ve no idea what this says, but this is a customer who stopped with us twice in 2 weeks, so it makes a negative review a bit nonsense when they say they wouldn’t visit again.

Me gustó Lots of space - double shower and toilet blocks - friendly staff - nice animals (goats/ horses etc) situated right on the Dale's way and near to shops and pubs - good value

Me gustó Great site, big pitches and lots of space.
Showers were warm and the toilets clean.

Fire pits for all pitches was fantastic

Me gustó Set in the most gorgeous spot. Everything you need. Lovely and peaceful. Easy walk into Sedbergh for a lovely night out. Perfect. Oh, and the goats. Loved them.

No me gustó Would be good to have recycling bins as obviously folk do use lots of bottled water! Why with lovely tap water I will never understand?

Me gustó Price for the location to Lake Windermere. Convenience shop and a couple takeaways, pubs and restaurants within a 2 minute drive also.
Our kids loved seeing and petting the goats, cows and horses on site.

No me gustó Free for all tent pitches. We arrived late evening and most pitches were taken, especially the flat ones. So we either had to camp on a hilltop or cram in-between other campers.
We chose the top field as the bottom was completely full and a bit too loud for us. This meant though we were quite a far walk to the toilet and showers ( unless we walked to the festival style portaloos, which were always dirty ).
The showers were ok ( for outdoor showers ), although anytime anyone used the sink to wash dishes, the water pressure dropped to almost nothing and the temperature becomes freezing.
The owners come around in the evening selling logs for fire pits, which I thought was awesome. However, most bought logs which meant the site smelt like a bonfire and thick clouds of smoke covered us as we sat outside the tent.

Del administrador: Where to start with this…..

….you arrived late - but we still facilitated your access.

…..you didn’t call us on arrival. It wasn’t a free for all whatsoever. Some of the pitches on the main campsite had more than one tent - that’s fine, they were all in their cut and marked pitches.

……you drove past 2 fields (with their gates open) that are a 80 metre walk to porcelain toilets. These fields had less than 3 families in each.

…..you chose where you pitched. There was a 13 acre field open with no more than 20 pitches in it - almost a football field each, but you chose to put yourself between 2 other campers who were enjoying camp fires.

…..the showers are free. There’s a big sign up informing camper that if they use the sink, your shower will run cold…..ask yourself why they did that 🤔

……it was August Bank Holiday - the busiest weekend of the year. If you come camping in the Yorkshire Dales on a sunny August bank holiday, it’s going to be busy and families will enjoy camp fires - and so they should.
