Kedvelték It is in a great location. A short walk to Sedbergh, and lots of local walks. There are animals on the farm to look at.

Nem kedvelték There were only 2 showers which was nowhere near enough. They were hot at first but quickly went cold. There were 3 clean toilets plus some very dirty portable toilets. There was often no toilet roll in the toilets. The only sink was for both washing hands and dishes.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Here we have a camper who booked a pitch in the wood field that unambiguously advertises portaloos only.

The wood field portaloos were cleaned on the day they arrived. August Bank Holiday was very wet, so of course people had mud on their boots. If you book a grass pitch and it rains heavily, mud will increase.

We visit every pitch on the site 8 times a day. Not once were we made aware of any problems with the toilets all weekend.

Regarding (free) showers. When you look to use the facilities at peak periods on a Bank Holiday, they’re going to be under pressure. In previous years we’ve hired in 8 mobile showers and had exactly the same feedback. The problem isn’t the showers, it’s people who come to the countryside (in a drought) and expect water pressure of urban infrastructure to support their lack of patience and forward planning.

Finally, value for money. Free showers, free fire pits, porcelain toilets, mains water…..if anyone can find a comparable campsite within a 10 miles radius for £30 a pitch, I’ll give them 2027 camping for free.

Sincerely

Brian

Kedvelték Hmm . Location is excellent, shower facilities excellent. Toilet facilities good but have no sanitary bins for ladies . The ground to wood fire camp site part was horrendous, people's cars sliding everywhere trying to get down and up the hill, quite dangerous actually!! A man actually came of his motorbike too trying to get down it , ( granted it was obviously forecast for wet weather ) but you still expect to be able to get ur vehicle safely up and down a hill for a camp site you pay for and not risk going into other vehicles or the fields beside it.

Nem kedvelték Good for 4x4s but not so much for cars in that particular part of the campsite . Nice and quiet . Get to hear the pigs, cows and sheep beside you ! Big cute highland cow too in field ! Didn't avail of camp fire pit as the weather was too bad however did have one behind the car which was great . If weather was dry and nice , getting up and down to wood fire camp site pitch would have been absolutely excellent however there's nothing in place for when it's really bad weather and your car will get absolutely stinking !!! Be aware of this !!!

Kezelői megjegyzés: Sometimes a bit of personal reflection can be helpful. Maybe even a bit of personal responsibility.

There was 15 acres available to camp in (other than the main field) for 30 pitches 1/2 an acre each….,on August Bank Holiday.

You choose your own pitch. The weather delivered exactly what was forecast - torrential rain and thunder. If you ended up somewhere unsuitable, why did you choose it?

As soon as the first heavy rain shower happened, we opened the access through the yard for the remainder of the weekend, visited every pitch and made everyone aware in case they hadn’t noticed.

Not one phone call of a car stuck all weekend - because there were none. There were a few occasions of people driving too fast and revving too hard - but that isn’t the campsites fault.

If someone fell off their motorbike, they maybe need to reflect if they were riding within their availability.

In summary, a 3/10 for heavy rain on a bank holiday. Fair weather campers should have stayed at home.

Kedvelték Rural camping facilities in need of modernisation. The site has potential, but the facilities are dated and require significant improvement. Most concerning is the access road to the campsite, which becomes particularly hazardous for motorcyclists after rainfall. Two of the three riders in our group fell off their bikes trying to negotiate it. Better maintenance and safer access for motorcycles are urgently needed.

Nem kedvelték The shower facilities at the higher-ground campsite were quite poor. Only one of the two shower units was working, and the flooring inside was very spongy and felt unsafe.

The access road from the registration area up to the campsite was also in very poor condition and was particularly hazardous for motorcyclists. Following rainfall, the surface became extremely difficult to ride on. Two out of the three riders in our group fell off their motorcycles while trying to negotiate the road. This represents a significant safety concern and should be addressed, particularly if the site is intended to accommodate motorcycle campers.

The portable toilet facilities were also extremely unclean and, as far as we could tell, were not cleaned at any point during our stay.

Overall, the standard of the campsite facilities and access was very poor and fell well below what we expected. The condition of the access road, in particular, presents a genuine safety risk to motorcycle riders.

Kedvelték Great site, lovely people and beautiful views. Site was clean and tidy and great location.

Nem kedvelték Showers and toilets in field - toilets were very dirty at times. Main toilets were much better at site entrance.

Kedvelték Beautiful location and lovely farm setting. Loved that you could have a campfire and the wood was brought round, also rubbish collected in the morning. Children’s play area really good and animals were fab.

Nem kedvelték Toilets were not very pleasant (porta-loos) with no hand sanitiser. Other main toilets didn’t have proper hand washing facilities. A long walk to the nearest tap (from the wood field).

Kedvelték Lovely location. Easy walk to village. Dry and grassy pitch. Showers and toilets fairly new and regularly cleaned and topped up with loo roll. I would definitely stay here again.

Kedvelték Everything was great. Laid back pop up site, toilets and showers, washing up area, and the ANIMALS!!! Highland cows, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, cows and even spotted a cat! Lovely walk into Sedbergh to local shops and pubs and pizza takeaway. Close to a river with nice walks.

Nem kedvelték Absolutely nothing, it does exactly what it says on the advert, basic site, basic facilities but everything you need.
