Boasting non electric pitches and a stretch of lake frontage, it's a few minutes drive from local restaurants, near the YMCA's fun activities and ideal for joining the Windermere ferry.

About the site
This is a back to nature pop-up site, spread across 50 acres of grassland and charming woodland. 500 yards of lake frontage add to the gorgeous views and make for some amazing sunsets.
There are 30 grass pitches for tents only, set in a beautiful field surrounded by nature.
Just opposite the campsite is an interesting English Heritage museum based at a wooden bobbin mill. Also in easy reach down the road is a YMCA camping base where you'll be able to book and enjoy outdoorsy activities and team building exercises.
Up to two dogs are allowed per pitch and with this being an idyllic countryside retreat, it's the perfect chase for you and your four-legged pals. Do note that breeds and crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted.
Fire pits and BBQS are allowed in the provided fire pits, as long as they stay raised off the ground. Sorry, no electric BBQs.

Location is great, just few meters away from the lake.
I've never been in the campsite with showers opening time. That should be mentioned in the description of the campsite. I would recommend the campsite to others if they can schedule the activities around the shower schedule and they know about that beforehand, but personally, I wouldn't go back there.
Good fun
