Nowhere signposted to put ash and embers from camp fires. Highly recommend that signage be provided as well as signage not to put ash in green bins

This is a small site with views over rolling hills. The facilities are simple but clean. The only fault was a broken solar light in the gents toilets. This is an excellent stopover point for the lakes or Scotland. Large motorhomes should note the lanes to it are small but still navigable.

A campsite tucked away in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle, with a beautiful sunset over the Lake District mountains. The bare essentials. Nice.
Brief but pleasant stay

We had a very brief one night stay. Arrived very late and left very early. This was nothing to do with the site, just our journey circumstances. However, the communication was excellent and it was very straightforward to arrive, pitch and let the owners know despite our very late arrival. It was nice and quiet and the facilities, although not plentiful, were clean and tidy. It's a good location to get back on the M6 after being in the Lakes.
Perfect back to basics campsite!

This was a lovely location to camp in, we had beautiful view and the pitches were a good size. There were showers and toilets as well as somewhere to wash up dishes, which is all that was needed. We've not been camping before but found it a very pleasant experience. There are additional activities to book which looked like lots of fun, and would definitely want to give these a try if we go again.
Great place, great view, very peaceful!

Very interpersonal. Staff were very attentive, very accommodating and it showed in way we felt when we stayed. The other campers were very polite, chilled and welcoming too! It all adds to a great experience! The surroundings are awesome! Loads of little gems to unveil around the area!
Will come again

A field with a small cabin containing facilities. Near to some pubs and Kendal. Sadly very windswept and open, but otherwise does the job!

Booking system was straight forward. You arrive, choose your pitch and text to tell them which pitch you have taken. There is parking next to a number of spaces which means there is no worries about getting stuck on a muddy field. Plenty of hot water for washing up and the toilet facilities were clean. Location is handy for Kendal and Southern lakes / Lancashire and the views are fabulous. No shops nearby so you do need to make sure you have taken provisions with you. A nice peaceful site I will visit again.

We chose this site primarily on cost and having toilets available. Really pleasantly surprised, such a fantastic site for the price. Clean toilets and showers available, good size plots with many having gravel drives for car, and the most beautiful views. Fantastic for sunset and sunrise especially. Communication from site staff was great, very quick to reply to messages.

Good value for money and quiet. All the facilities we needed - clean toilets, hot and cold shower, washing dishes area and the best sunset. Overall, it was very good.
