Helton Campsite

Mi è piaciuto: Great pop up site, plenty of space and toilet and shower blocks were clean and well maintained. The views around the surrounding areas from the site are amazing and if you get a clear night, the stars are incredible.

Non mi è piaciuto: Grass was a little long but not really a huge issue.

Mi è piaciuto: It was a lovely campsite- great for star gazing and we got firewood and had a lovely fire. There were a group of young people (who were very lovely and friendly) but they were passing music loudly from around 3pm to 11pm which was a little irritating. Aside from that, all good.

Mi è piaciuto: There was a group of 12 of us mixed females and males.. we liked how chilled the site was the owners came round to check we was ok and if we needed anything , they brought us logs and a bucket for the fire and were very helpful if we needed anything . The toilets are kept clean with toilet roll , there is a shower which is cold but as it was a hot weekend we didn’t mind , there is a sink with hand sanitizer and cold running water which was perfect to fill our bottled up with and brush our teeth. The views were breath taking , the site is just a field with toilets but that’s what we wanted as there was 12 of us who were there for a good time having a few drinks we didn’t want a site that was going to be strict . We kept the noise down when it went dark.. The lake is a 20 min drive from site here you can go paddle boarding and cold water swimming ullwater lake is a definite must when the weather is nice Thank you so much for this perfect get away we also needed jump leads , I rang William and he sent somebody 9am Sunday morning to come help start the car . He didn’t charge us or seem like it was an issue thank you for going out your way to do this

Non mi è piaciuto: The grass was abit long and we lost our rounders ball 😂 but really wasn’t an issue

Mi è piaciuto: We really loved out stay. It was in middle of know where but also not far from the local town. It wasn't far away from our home but we also felt hours away. The scenery was stunning and other campers were respectful.

Mi è piaciuto: Everything was great. Could only have been better if the showers had hot water. Fantastic views and friendly camp manager who delivered wood each night.

Non mi è piaciuto: No hot water which made washing up and showing difficult.

Non mi è piaciuto: We arrived at Helton campsite on a sunny evening. There was a small campervan already stuck in the boggy muddy entrance to the campsite. There was however room for us to also try to enter the field in our small campervan in what looked like a slightly less boggy area. We tried and our front wheels got stuck. The owner said that his son usually ran the site and it was clear he was trying his best to keep people happy in a tricky situation. He offered to tow us in to the site and on to the field, however we were worried about getting stuck there, not being able to get out - the field was large and it was unclear how boggy the rest of the field was. We were able to reverse out off the mud and go back on to the road, as we were tight on time however and needed to also go out that evening, we were unable to stick around to discuss our options (eve refund etc) with the owner. We left and called another site who luckily had space and so did not end up staying at Helton. When we left the original campervan was deflating their tyres slightly to help to get out of the boggy area. We did not stay at this site, however from the road it looked very big (lots of cars and tents and spacious, but serviced by a few portaloos. There may have been more that were less visible.

Mi è piaciuto: Quiet site, well maintained with basic facilities. Toilets and cold water shower, cleaned frequently. Short walk into Askham village and short drive to Pooley Bridge. A good base for exploring surrounding areas in the Lakes without crowds.

Mi è piaciuto: The views Big open spaces The option to buy wood for fires ( they provide old wheels as a base) Which is lovely Quiet unknown part of the lake district with beautiful local walks

Non mi è piaciuto: Toilets - in a wood hut Showers- beyond basic so didn’t attempt with my children No on-site personnel Didn’t matter on our visit but if some undesirable campers are onsite could pose a problem This really is just a field
