Helton Campsite

Likte Lovely field well looked after. Beautiful views. Quite and clean.

Likte ikke The toilets and shower are not very clean and not well looked after. They are in a portable cabin and it is very unstable. No lights and not very usable. If you stay here it’s probably only for adults and definitely not children. You need to be very self sufficient and understand that’s it’s just a filed with a water tap. The facilities are not good and would not recommend unless you have a toilet and shower yourself.

Likte Location was great - beautiful views and nice big field to enjoy them from. Check-in was easy.

Likte ikke Noisy! It was a party campsite from early evening to the middle of the night, people playing music at full blast and talking at full volume, throwing their rubbish everywhere like total slobs. Toilets were too few and leaking, regularly gross due to the number of people using only 3 loos. Shower cubicle didn't lock for me and the shower is cold. Drinking water taps right next to where people were camping and the sink for washing up was tiny, I didn't bother with it. No recycling. Also expensive considering all of these negatives, and in comparison with a much nicer campsite in Moffat I'd just come from that was only £10 per night.

Likte Large quiet site, lots of places to pitch your tent, clean and nice staff

Likte ikke It wasn’t disclosed that there is no running hot water so couldn’t have a shower, had to wait more than 20 minutes to go to the toilet as work was going on and there is only two toilets and no lights on the site for night time.

Likte Owner: Very pleasant and friendly bloke. Good advice given on local places to eat and what to see.
Location: Gorgeous. Beautiful scenery.
Site: Spacious field.
Basic site: I like basic camping fields with tap and toilet - if at the right price

Likte ikke Price: Overpriced considering it’s a pop-up site with limited non permanent toilets and only one shower. Was the price of many permanent sites with proper facilities.

Our stay: Unfortunately on our weekend the site appeared to be a magnet for groups that wanted to have noisy boozy parties. Saturday was worst - 4 groups all playing their own music loudly along with shouting, loud singing and car lights shining across the site. The owner provides fire stands and wood, which while may seem a positive but I feel only encouraged the party atmosphere to continue into the night. The owner did drive round between 11 and 12 and it did quieten down, but it then continued after he left. I guess it’s impossible for owner to predict if his booking guests are going to be courteous or act like a bunch of disrespectful non-educated delinquents.

Likte Location

Likte ikke Absolutely furious with some of the other guests blasting loud music till early hours on both nights we were there. Rang the number provided on both nights at around midnight. Guy turned up and drrove around the site and drove off. Nothing said to guests. They played loud music until 2am. About 4 groups of people. One young group also playing football in the middle of the field at 5.32am. Unbelievable..... some other guests i spoke to left that day because of the noise to find another site.

2nd night i rang him again at midnight and again drove around and nothing said to guests. I told him i had to sleep in my car at the furthest point away from the noise and still heard them at 1am. My girlfriend stayed in the tent as was too tired to move as we had done a 15 mile hike that day. Lots of people were complaining and hopefully they will also put honest reviews on too.

Shower was see through and freezing. Only 3 toilets for all the guests and they were flooded.. i have taken videos but unable to put them on here. Shame.

I will never come back or recommend unless you love to party until you want and no camping respect for others.

Fra bestyreren: This review is completely not factual.

- Showers, the showers CLEARLY state they are not heated before you arrive. The door is not see-through if you lock the door to the whole side of the trailer, giving you a changing room also.

- Noise, we spoke to many people about noise at various stages of the evening and all were happy so not sure who you spoke to on site. Both times when we came up at 11 and midnight there was no noise on site at all.

Completely not factual review, please don’t come again.

Likte Owners were friendly and it's a simple pitch, got busy on the weekend with a bunch of loud people well into the night but there's a back field where you can go to avoid that. Would stay again.

Likte Amazing views, quiet campsite with great pitches that you can pick yourself. Gated field with access for dogs to run free, will definitely be back!

Likte Available last minute, easy to book. Location good for lakes availability and close ish to pooley bridge but still about 15 min drive or so.

Likte ikke No check in service so didn’t meet campsite staff which felt odd. Felt a little like why have we paid £25? Grass was long, got stung by a bee. Toilet block was like a portaloo block.

Likte Location was great.

Likte ikke Very poor facilities. 4 portaloos for toilets for the whole campsite. Wouldn’t mind if they were maintained/cleaned but they were filthy.
No hot water washing up facilities.
