Ings Kippers Campsite and Shepherd's Hut

A aimé The individual pitches, the close proximity to the pub, the fire pits, the trees and the facilities although basic, adequate. Friendly Owners, Helpfull. Phone charging unit. Handy bus service to Windermere.

N'a pas aimé Road noise, the track up the steep hill with a drag trolley, should be more detailed information on this, you are ok if you only have a small amount of gear and small tent, it’s a very steep path up to the tent pitches and not for people who struggle with fitness. Cost of beer and food in pub, expensive.

A aimé Location, shower and toilet facilities, hidden campsites from the others, the views, the fire pits and bbq facilities!

N'a pas aimé The noise from the road (which can’t be helped I know!)

A aimé Great location, friendly and informative hosts. The site is probably the closest you can get to wild camping, very natural and well thought out pitches. The option to buy logs for camp fire was an added bonus.

N'a pas aimé Another shower/toilet would have been advantageous, long wait in a morning to use facilities.

A aimé Location is ideal for visiting the towns along Windermere trees inbetween pitches for privacy. Gorgeous views. Perfect spot for stargazing. Adults only sight. 11pm noise curfew ideal for couples

N'a pas aimé Pot wash station is cold water only making it difficult to clean plates effectively. There are no lights on site. The hill is very steep and the pitches are very small we took a four man tent and it invaded the next pitch

The washing up station is cold water as campers that have cooked their dinner are quite capable of cooking water for their washing up. If we provided unlimited hot water we would put the prices up.

There are no street lights on the hill because campers bring torches and it's the countryside! There is PIR floodlighting around the main facilities and solar lights in the compost loo.

I believe your tent was rather larger than a normal four person tent. Check the model - if it says something like 500 on the name it's a five person. It was very large for our site.

The maximum pitch sizes are on the details on Pitchup and this year we have emphasized that the pitches are 'Small Hillside' pitches so there is no ambiguity. They are small pitches and on a hillside. If customers bring tents too big for the pitches available, it's really their problem and they must not encroach on neighbouring pitches.

A aimé Wonderful spot! Perfect level of scenic and comfortable. The campsite was so well thought out by its owners and has everything you might need. This in hand with good transport links, a shop and pub near and most importantly the most beautiful plot for your tent made it a GREAT experience.

A aimé Complimentary Phone charger lockers were a great addition.
Friendly welcome
12pm check out
Fire pits

N'a pas aimé That hill to go up to the pitch was expected but after a few trips with the trolley it was an effort, especially if you were right at the top, definitely not for the less mobile or unfit !
Wouldn’t put me off going though
Could be better signposted Sat Nav had us on the opposite side of the road !

Being in a rural area, most of the village both sides of the road shares the same postcode, so if you only use that you'll end up over by the Church/Watermill Inn.

Our Google maps location is 100 percent correct and takes you to the centre of our car park, as does the map location on Pitchup.

A aimé I was greeted on arrival and shown all the facilities and then left to choose my own pitch from the ones available.

Showers and toilet were all clean and tidy

Pitches were private and secluded but still had amazing views of the surrounding scenery

A aimé The hosts/owners were lovely, very accommodating and genuine. I accidentally booked the wrong days but when I called up they were able to help me out with no fuss at all. The camp was very clean with fire pits and bbq available at no extra cost. The pitches themselves were very private and perfect for a romantic night under the stars. Each pitch either came with a picnic bench or some sort of seating which I thought was a nice touch.

The showers were clean and next to the showers they have a locker which you can charge your electricals up with, free of charge. Parking is safe and next to the main house. There’s also trolleys to use to get your stuff up the hill.

N'a pas aimé The hill to the pitch is a bit of a monster but there are nice views and it does feel lively and private. It’s not really a dislike but an annoyance when going to the toilet in the night time.

A aimé Great location close to Windermere. Very clean bathroom facilities. Able to buy logs from site to use in the onsite fire pit. Would definitely return.
Little ginger cat would come and visit every morning and evening, very friendly.
