Second stay in a month! What a great site with incredible proximity to so many hills. It's just perfect for running and walking trips, setting off straight from the site or the option to drive to the more popular fells. Quiet, nicely laid out and friendly.

Nothing!

All aspects from friendly staff to clean facilities and great views and EE mobile works great

Go prepared with hard ground pegs as the ground can be difficult to peg

Friendly staff, easy to check in. Pub next door

Genuinely stunning location.
Toilets and showers well kept.

There are many information signs with very off-hand, blunt language used on them. They are very unwelcoming and unfriendly and it creates an atmosphere. Camp owners seem to have an attitude like they’re ‘allowing’ you to stay there rather than you are a paying customer.

Ground is absolutely rock solid. About three inches of soil and then stone. We destroyed all of our tent pegs, bending them over to get any kind of grip. The ground is not suitable for pitching tents.

Only one drinking water tap, which while the site isn’t huge, most campsites have them dotted around the plots.

You can’t park directly next to your tent like you can at every other campsite. So if you use your vehicle as storage you need to keep walking back and forth. You won’t guarantee a parking space either.

No designated plots. People just camp wherever, so if it gets busy there’s no control over who is supposed to be where.

Surroundings, facilities and staff.

Loving place nice and easy to get too, nice clean toilets and showers, a lot of sinks for washing up and some washing machines there too.
Good access to walks around the site only took 1 hour 32 mins to walk from camp site to ullswater nice dirt paths along side road.
Lots of places to pitch the tent you can pick from flat grass or pitches raise up a bit on the hill

Staff were very friendly and informative about how the campsite worked as long as you got there. The pub up the top was lovely. Food was 10/10 and pretty affordable especially for a nice evening meal. The facilities were all nice and clean and it was easy to pitch up the tent. Very easy to find and the shop well stocked for anything you need if you’ve forgotten something. We went during the off season so it was quiet and had loads of places to camp. Very nice and cosy setting in the valley. Easy to get to Lake Windermere and Lake Ullswater. On a clear night the stars looked amazing and so bright. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

On site food was good.
Toilets/shower seemed clean enough.
Beautiful views.

Only thing realy was the ground was verry rocky so I broke some pegs when pitching the tent.

Nice breakfast rolls and quality of food at pub

Noise from groups of lads shouting until half past midnight with no input from warden.
People smoking weed on site.
Motorcyclist left at 4am.
Staff have miserable attitude except one nice woman at reception and one staff member in pub.
