Do gestor: Thank you for your review, so glad you had everything you needed on our quiet site, it's good to know you would choose to visit again & would also recommend us to your friends.

We will be very pleased to see you again next year...hopefully with slightly better weather!!

Gostou We had a fabulous 3 night stay over the bank holiday weekend at the end of August. Our pitch was spacious and despite a long dry spell followed by a fair bit of heavy rain, the grass drained well and wasn't boggy or waterlogged.
The kids absolutely loved the tree swing and the hammocks and were never out of the stream. The toilets and showers in the shed were clean and all you needed.
The lady running it was super welcoming, happy to chat with the kids and even took them to show them a part of the stream whilst we were setting up. She came and checked on us a few times through our stay. 10/10 host.
The field is at the bottom of a very big hill. You must park at the top, cannot take your car down - which we knew - but it's an absolute killer with a wheelbarrow full of kit and a large 8man steel poled tent - we got our workout in for sure reloading the car 🤣 The campsite owner was incredibly helpful in helping us unload on arrival in her car (she did offer a hand in reloading but we wernt quite fully packed up and we all know how much of a game of Tetris loading the car is so we didn't make taking our time and doing it ourselves).
There is a pub close by which we didn't make use of. 12 minutes to Kirkby Lonsdale and not much further in the other direction to Kendal. Supermarkets, shops, pubs and walks all easily accessible with your car. We had a lovely Chinese takeout in the tent one evening.
The roads in are VERY narrow and hilly with large hedges either side, I was worried about the condition of the roads during the torrential downpours forecast, but they were fine!

We will recommend to all and look to return next year.

Thank you Puddlemire!

Do gestor: Thank you a 10 is always very much appreciated, so glad you all enjoyed the natural playground, without cars it does mean the children are very safe & the space next to the stream is saved for tent & campfires. We would love to see your family return.

Gostou Great pitches right on the river. Very quiet and relaxed with fire pits available for a small cost.

Não gostou Hill down to the pitches is very very steep and uncomfortable if you have any injury or disability, the owner does offer to help if available with moving your equipment.
Bins are available for recyclable waste however any general waste must be removed, whilst I support the sites recycling initiatives, having to take general waste with you in a hot car on a long journey is uncomfortable.

Do gestor: Thank you for your review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your riverside camping spot, it is lovely and tranquil, you seemed very relaxed in the hammocks under the trees.
With regard to general waste, we do recycle all food waste, plastics, cardboard, paper, glass and cans, most campers have nothing left after sorting their waste, but I really don't want to return to manually sorting a large number of bin bags of mixed waste by hand after a busy weekend. I make no excuses in asking all my visitors to help in a small way. If we all do a little, it helps alot.

Gostou Great location, helpful owner, clean facilities, generous spacing between plots, wheelbarrows or buggy available to transfer gear.

Do gestor: Thank you for a 10, you all looked like you were having a great time, we do hope you visit again.

Gostou A lovely campsite and very clean and tidy. Lots to do around the area

Não gostou We stayed in a bell tent with a private compost toilet and shower, when it got busy on the Friday other campers used our toilet which left us emptying other people’s waste, maybe a padlock on the door or a sign stating they are private and for Bell tent use only with the tent number and n would stop this happening

Do gestor: Thank you for your review, so glad you enjoyed our little campsite, it was lovely & quiet when you arrived, very peaceful, but fully booked on the Friday. We will look at options for signage or a padlock for the private toilets & showers.. Thank for your feedback.

Gostou Loved all of it

Do gestor: Thank you for your review....a 10 our efforts are all worthwhile

Gostou This site is in a beautiful location with lots of near by attractions. The owner is a lovely lady and is very helpful. The upgrade to be next to the stream was worth every penny. I can't wait to return with my son

Não gostou The only down point is the roads leading to the site are very narrow so if you are not a confident driver please be aware.
