Site was lovely, very picturesque with the mountain backdrop and woodland surrounding. The site was clean and well maintained. Bathroom facilities a bit dated but that being said, they were clean and fully working. Really enjoyed our stay and would defo return.

We stayed for two nights over the last weekend in May and it was perfect for what we were looking for. Wide open camping in lush fields with convenient access to bathroom, dish washing station, and laundry room. There are separate fields better suited for different types of groups which is perfect.
Lovely place to stay!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Overall, great facilities and with two nearby pubs. The only two less positive things were cleanliness at times not great, but it is very difficult to fault staff as they did their best. Hot water was too hot at times so the only thing to improve really. Otherwise, we have a great stay and would recommend it!

Had a really lovely stay here, we booked to climb Scafell Pike which is only 15/20 minutes away. The facilities were all very clean and we had a clean drinking tap on our pitch. The place is fairly small, so everything is easily walkable (washing up area, toilets, showers) Showers don't cost extra and are lovely and hot too. Really lovely staff when you check in, they are super friendly and make it an easy stay. The only thing we struggled with was at 2am someone started playing club music (no idea who) and this is a strictly quiet camping area, but after around an hour it went off. Think this is pretty unusual and whoever it was, hope they got rained on the next day! Thank so much to the team!

Very positive experience. Need more privacy for toilets. Not comfortable sharing with many other people. Moderately clean but only cleaned once a day. Staff were lovely particularly in shop and reception. Lovely quiet site with pub at the entrance. Would recommend.

Lovely site very friendly staff, pitch perfect. Only downside - showers were lukewarm and washing up water was the same. Easy fix am sure. Would highly recommend.

Perfect spot surrounded by beautiful scenery, this was the perfect base for kayaking and paddle boarding on Wast Water. Enough facilities for us as a couple, which were clean and well kept. Plenty of space between pitches. The couple running the site were very friendly and welcoming. We'll be coming here again.

Was a great place. Unfortunately our tent was destroyed by high winds, so the lovely warden gave us a pod at a reduced rate for a very comfy, warm last night.

We had such a good night at this campsite, it is so close to Wast Water and there is a pub within walking distance. We would like to mention Jamie, who was working on the reception desk, as he was so helpful with us! He recommended a place to eat and really accommodated our stay. We were in a roof top tent, and he made sure we were on a flat pitch because we forgot our chocks, he was so lovely. The showers were so clean and very warm. The shop was well packed with things you may have forgotten. 10/10, would stay again.

We stayed for 3 nights at Church Stile and had a lovely time. The staff were very helpful and the amenities were really good. The sawmill farm shop & café nearby (owned by the same people) is also excellent.
Lovely, peaceful, friendly campsite

Fantastic campsite with everything you needed for a comfortable camping experience. A short drive from some brilliant walking locations. Stanley Ghyll falls is a must visit. Some great pubs nearby and also recommend the Sawmill just 3 mins walk away that does great food and a selection of local gifts. Make sure you take a ground sheet because the pitch sites get quite muddy.
Decent campsite For Scaffel Pike hikers

Beautiful location and really well situated for Scaffel Pike hikers, only a 1.5 hour walk to the base along a beautiful lake. Two lovely pubs right next to the site and an onsite shop where you can grab bits and bobs, and barista hot drinks. The campsite itself was good. Decent facilities, pretty clean. My only criticism is the strange booking rules - we were a group of 4 people in two separate tents, only wanting to stay for two nights. Firstly, they have a 3-night minimum on bookings, which was annoying as it meant we paid for a whole extra night we couldn't use, and took up a night's booking someone else probably could have used on the desirable bank holiday weekend. Secondly, they wouldn't allow us to book together because they don't allow "large groups", but when we arrived, there were many large groups of people with enormous tents, so their problem seems to be with the amount of tents rather than the amount of people. Wasn't a huge issue as we just booked separately, pitched in different fields like we were told, then just visited each others pitches for meals and drinks, which the staff didn't seem to have an issue with. Other than those small gripes, it was a great campsite.
Site's response
Thanks for the feedback and we'd like to address the points you've raised. We only have a minimum stay limit of 3 nights on Bank Holidays, as it is the busiest weekends of any given month and the majority of people who stay with us stay for 3 nights. We don't have a minimum stay for non-electrical pitches and a 2 night minimum on electrical hook-ups at any other time of the year. We also only allow groups onsite with prior approval, which is clear on our website, all the communication we send out in relation to bookings and also on third party websites. The alternative is to follow other campsites in our region and refuse any group bookings, which we feel is unfair on respectful campers and groups. We're glad that the staff on duty allowed your group to stay and that you enjoyed your stay with us. We would recommend letting us know you are in a group prior to your next booking and avoid booking on bank holidays if you don't wish to stay for 3 nights.

Brilliant campsite for families. Clean facilities, nice hot showers. We really enjoyed it. Wasn't rowdy at night. Bonus that the pub is just a 2 min walk along the road and the food there was amazing. Excellent choice of things at the farm shop on site too. We will be back :)
