Cockin Farm Campsite

Gostou: What a lovely stay we had here. Wanted something a little off the beaten track and we found it- although still not far from amenities in Kendal. Absolutely lovely surroundings, a warm and friendly welcome and good facilities. The composting toilet was always clean. Views lovely. Lots of animal sounds around. Was surprised to find showers- apparently Pitch Up haven’t updated it- but there were two lovely spacious hot showers available, even with shampoo and conditioner! We were able to have an open campfire which was really nice. Would 100% stay again.

Não gostou: Not really a dislike but more to be aware of - the road leading in is quite bumpy with lots of potholes so if you’re not in a 4x4, maybe plan to arrive with everything you need for that evening so you don’t have to go back out 🤣 We actually loved the drive down and the views.

Do gerente: Thank you so much for the kind review. Hopefully next time you visit Cumbria we can arrange some sun!

Gostou: The campsite itself was amazing, in the middle of no where which was perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle of reality ! The campsite organisation were great also! The ground was really wet (causing people to get stuck in their vehicles) they came out and placed stuff down so it was no longer an issue ! They also came around every day see how you were and if there was any issues or anything they could do to help. The facilities were very clean.

Do gerente: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being our first campers of 2024!

Gostou: Amazing views, and the camping space was great. Was able to contact site owner and was very chilled about everything

Não gostou: Toilet facilities were very basic, just a portaloe. And had to park separately to the site and car things over a bridge to site, it was raining at the time. Track to site was a farm track, I was driving a new car, which was slightly nerve racking at times

Gostou: Secluded location surrounded by beautiful hills and fields, filled with plenty of sheep. Basic field with the option to do a fire on the evening. Outdoor toilet available for use, making it more hygienic.

Gostou: Back to basics camping in a great location, situated on farmland just outside of Kendal. Stayed with our two children and dog who had a great time paddling in the stream in their wellies! They also had a giggle when they woke up to sheep outside the tent as they had scaled the wall from the neighbouring field! Portaloo is easy to get to from your pitch. The neighbouring farmer can be busy with his sheep for a while but is happily to let you through if needed. We didn't get to meet the hosts but we did however meet their cows who were so lovely! The hosts were extremely helpful by sending us information before our arrival, we will definitely book a stay again in the near future and can't wait to see the transformation as they finish renovations!

Não gostou: Hit a lot of hard ground when pitching the tent so had to shuffle around a few times but this isn't a huge deal as there is plenty of space. This isn't a dislike as such as it didn't really bother us, but if you couldn't sleep due to the sound of sheep this place is not for you, they are very loud.

Do gerente: Thank you so much for the review. We are glad you had such a good time and the kids look to have loved the river! Sorry about the sheep I think the neighbouring farmer had just weaned them the weekend you stayed so they aren't normally as noisy!

Gostou: A warm welcome to a genuinely rustic setting with gorgeous views and a beautifully tranquil ambiance. It was the perfect place to relax and let the world happen around you. Loved it.

Não gostou: The site is catagorized on Pitchup as having parking next to pitch/unit. This isn't the case; vehicles cannot access the pitch field, which wasn't an issue for our stay but might be for others'. Also the pitch field is very bumpy, finding a level spot for the tent was difficult.

Do gerente: Thank you so much for the review and sorry about the parking - we had hoped to have the campsite in a different field which I'd accessible by car but as its been a wet summer this hasn't been possible so we moved it but I forgot to update the listing until I saw your review! Apologies again
