Helton Campsite

Setting

–

Nice views, fairly flat field which was quite big, nice area and had a portaloo.

Only the one portaloo at one end of the field, which other campers completely surrounded making it very uncomfortable to use as you had to walk through their pitches. A blocked off area around ammenties would be better (or more toilets/taps) to prevent people blocking access to these).

Also, campsite is advertised as no rules surrounding music/noise/group sizes etc, and we picked specifically for this as most campsites don't allow for large groups or music playing. We also checked reviews which mentioned there being groups and music into the early hours which didn't seem to have been a problem. However, despite us moving after pitching up to be away from others who had brought children to be respectful, the owners still came out twice before 11pm for noise complaints. As a group we were conscious of noise levels and were being respectful anyway but having the owners keep coming out especially so early on when nothing in the rules mentioned this, as many other campsites did, ruined the stay quite a lot. We've stayed at other campsites before and have never recieved a noise complaint previously and it seemed out of fit for the campsite we had chosen, when many quiet/family campsites were available if people were looking for that experience. Wouldn't reccomend for group bookings wanting to play any music or chat in the evening around the fire.

How rural it is your basically in a field camping n there tap water and porter loo was in a lovely place ideal if u just staying a night or 2

Location and views

Only one portaloo literally full to brim, never seen anything that bad at Glastobury festival!

Secluded nature and tranquility

Extremely basic and difficult to find, price is steep considering its just a field with a portaloo and a hosepipe

Very chilled out approach, beautiful location.
Spacious pitches and excellent value for ££
We hiked Helvellyn and kayaked on ullswater so nice and close to both

Only 1 portaloo and no showers, knew this before we booked but that’s all I could say to improve, one party was a bit noisy but the owners arrived and asked them to quieten down. Will defo come here again

Beautiful views very quiet nice walk to pooley bridge

Had a great 1 night stop over to catch up with family who were here for a few days. In a lovely quiet location away from the much busier areas. A nice 20 minute walk to the local village shop which is very well stocked and a short drive to Ullswater. Will definitely visit again. Thank you

Nice views and quiet. Price was okay.

Porter loo + tap was it. Nowhere to wash up or shower.
