A great place me and my twin brother found to pitch up and hike. Great atmosphere, safe place, clean toilets and showers. Good pub (better described as an inn) with good food. Absolutely professional, informative and hospitable staff, can not fault them at all, great service all round. The little shop is handy as with the washrooms etc. close by to either Windermere or ullswater and many hiking routes with different variety of difficulties from beginner to more intermediate to more pro-longed hikes. Scenery is beautiful.

A couple pointers regarding the inn, they don’t do walks in, you have to book in advance for a table to be able to eat there. It’s clear the ‘small’ inn can not accommodate the full size of the camp grounds for food, so first booked first served I guess. But also with the barn pub closed half the year due to the seasons and low staff and cost to run it as one staff member pointed out, you’d think you’d be able to drink in the inn but as you are allowed to visit for a drink, if they are busy with reservations, you will have to sit outside unless there is empty tables inside. I gathered they don’t like people drinking at the bar. It is a small inn/pub to bear in mind and is understandable.

Felt very safe as a solo female traveller, clean facilities and a well stocked shop

This was my 1st time at Sykeside and I can't wait to go back. The site staff were incredibly friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The facilities are great, showers and toilets clean and warm. I had a wonderful couple of days

Brilliant location, allowed fire pits!

Noisy neighbours

Well resourced site with a well stocked shop, showers, laundry dryers and a pub all right on the hillside.

Only allowed into the pub if had booked a table for food in advance- just drinkers were relegated to the beer garden.

Excellent facilities, great shop, and fantastic Inn.

Ground wasn’t the easiest to get pegs into

I loved absolutely everything about Sykeside! The sanitary facilities were top-notch and spotless, the option to rent a fire pit was fantastic, and the breathtaking views were simply stunning. I also have to give a special shout-out to the young gentleman at reception – his professionalism and demeanor were more fitting for a high-class hotel than a campsite in the middle of nowhere. Wow! His service really added to the overall experience. I'll definitely be back!
