Rufus Lane Campsite

A aimé Quiet - because it was almost completely empty.

N'a pas aimé Overpriced despite complete lack of facilities.

Very little flat space - not a problem for me as I could pick anyone the flat bit at the bottom of the slope as it was so quiet.

Only one festival style portable chemical toilet. No running water. No mobile signal, although this seemed to be the case in thd town too.

Walked to Local pub to find they don't do food on Sunday evenings. Found a good chip shop in town about 25 mins walk from the site. Nothing much else any closer.

A aimé As description makes clear this is a peaceful no frills campsite. Plenty of space when I visited. A lot of the site slopes but there is a large flat area also. The portaloo was clean, the washing up area under a lean-to perfectly serviceable (cold water). I was surprised you have to bring drinking water, but no problem at all. A couple of shelves by washing up had bottled water, firewood and firelighters, all at reasonable prices. Help yourself to fire pits- there seemed to be 4 or 5 available when I stayed. 20mins stroll to M&S/Aldi etc, 10mins up a lovely footpath to locals pub (no food when I was there). Site owner very friendly and helpful. I had to move my booking around and he was very pleasant and helpful about it. Thanks!

A aimé I loved the site it was nice and relaxing few days away with my children. My son loved being able to feed the animals and when I ran out of gas the farmer was more than helpful in getting me some replacement gas canisters I will definitely be going back again

N'a pas aimé There was nothing that I disliked about the site

A aimé If you love open fields, quiet rural camp with clean basic fascilities. This is the place for you. Short drive to Ulverston. Good view of surrounding hills where you can watch the thunderstorms roll in from the Irish sea.
Slight drawback is its wet sodden ground the way out is uphill and the track can be slippy. Pick your camp spot wisely. Enjoy

A aimé The campsite was lovely, really quiet and peaceful with lots of room within pitches and surrounding areas. Facilities were really useful with washing up liquid, cloths, sponges provided. The small shop of items such as fresh eggs, firewood, firelighters, water and food to feed the animals was a thoughtful touch. Owners were really welcoming and friendly and we will definitely be back to this site. We have really enjoyed our stay here.

A aimé 10 minutes walk into the centre of Ulverston, pubs, Laurel & Hardy Museum, shops etc. The owner called me to check if everything was OK and provided directions.

N'a pas aimé Zero facilities. DO NOT BOOK MORE THAN ONE NIGHT!!! Rufus Lane is way overpriced. This place is beyond basic - we're talking about a field here. With sheep!

Réponse du gestionnaire : We are sorry our “pop-up” site didn’t deliver to your expectations, but we don’t advertise our site as anything other than a “pop-up” site on our working farmland. As for your comment regarding “zero facilities”, We provide all the essential amenities needed for a pleasant stay i.e. toilet, washing up facilities and small honesty hut.
We feel the campsite doesn’t warrant the really low scores you gave.
