Absolutely loved our stay!
VW-Type Campervan - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2025 This campsite is beautiful, everywhere you look. The facilities are so clean and we were welcomed by Happy, an absolutely lovely and helpful man. We will 100% be back for another stay here!
Great views
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2025 Beautiful views. Good service from warden team. Not quite enough men's facilities for a busy bank holiday weekend, but overall a great long weekend away.
Wow wow wow
Trailer Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2025 This might be the perfect camping spot for family's. The built in kid entertainment creek is reason enough to comeback.
Pitches are large. Site is clean. Staff is attentive. Quiet hours are enforced. Next time we ride the heavy horses!
Lovely stay
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Excellent place with lovely staff. facilities great and more than adequate for our needs. Quiet, remote and beautiful location. Would stay again heart beat.
Thanks to all the staff for making Jessica’s and Maddie’s first camp one to remember 😊
Fantastic place!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2025 Can't fault the location at all, with a lovely welcome, the girl who we saw on arrival was fantastic, really lovely and helpful!
The facilities were okay, a little too 'communal' for me (you get out the shower and there's someone washing up right there half dressed haha) but overall it was a lovely place to wake up!
The shop could do with a dust but it's a working farm!
Ideal no frills site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 We booked this site because we were planning on exploring the South Western Lakes. It was perfect. Great location for what we wanted. The facilities, though basic, were clean and well maintained. It had electric hook up, a chemical toilet disposal tank, fresh water and a shop/cafe to get the basics. We were greeted by Jamie, very helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit.
A true gem in the Lake District
Medium Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 An absolutely amazing stay at Baystone Bank. We spent 4 nights at the site in a tent by the stream and have no complaints at all.
The small shop is well stocked and the food was lovely, the location of the site is perfect and relatively close to all main sites you want to visit and there are some amazing walks nearby. We certainly will return and will recommend to all who think about coming to the Lake District.
Return visit
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 We have been several times and love the campsite. It is a traditional family campsite in a beautiful setting and very peaceful. The heavy horses are a great bonus too.
Great time had by all
Large Tent - Non Electric Bramless 'Loose' Pitches Aug 2024 Very friendly and welcoming site set in beautiful surroundings. Great café and shop on site, also very clean showers available. Will definitely be back.
Hidden gem
Large Tent - Non Electric Bramless Fixed Pitches Aug 2024 Just got back from 3 nights at Bay stone Bank Farm and even though the weather was a complete washout, this little campsite is a hidden gem!
The owners couldn't do enough for everyone there and when the stream / river got a little high because of the amount of rain, they came round the campsite to reassure us that we were safe 🫶🏻 They opened the shop after closing to make sure we had wine to get us through the last night and made it clear that we didn't need struggle with all our stuff the next day, someone would come help us if needed!
On the one day we had a dry evening , it was lovely sitting out with the camp fire going making smores, taking in all the beautiful views around us! So peaceful ☺️
We will definitely be back… only when it's dry 😂
Not the experience we hoped for Small Tent - Non Electric Little Mead 'Loose' Pitches Aug 2024 Was supposed to be staying for 3 nights. Only stayed the 1 night due to being on a field covered in thick, soggy mud, horse manure and grass full of weeds, making it uncomfortable to pitch up.
Not allowed your car next to your tent which made the 'weekend break' a chore. We had to do 8 trips, back and forth in mud up to our ankles just to pitch. If you are booking here, I would recommend to pitch on the lower field as it was much nicer and looked after. The upper hills felt like wild camping and way too far from facilities.
The toilet block closer to us had no lights and wasn't clean, so had to go in pitch black. Café staff were lovely and food was really nice :)
Lovely, peaceful location
Small Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Peaceful, back-to-basics site. Everything is simple, but the set-up has everything you need, including stunning views. Handy location for south and west lakes.
Lovely peaceful site
VW-Type Campervan - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Great site, very peaceful with a stream that you could paddle in next to our pitch. Each pitch had a firepit too and they sold logs at a reasonable price. Lovely stay. The shop and café were great too.
Beautiful Setting
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2024 A fantastic and stunning location, with laid back and friendly staff. The toilets and showers were basic, but they were ok. A wonderful ride on dragon and an enormous Suffolk Punch. We will definitely go back.
Absolutely fantastic
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Streamside, Car Free Zone) Aug 2024 Great three nights, lovely service, toilets and showers clean. Location is fantastic! Would highly recommend!
Lovely site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Streamside, Car Free Zone) Aug 2024 A beautiful site, lots of space, trees, stream to occupy kids.
Food at cafe was delicious and great value for money. Shower and toilet block dated, men's toilets poor and generally could be a bit cleaner, but wouldn't stop us visiting again!
Beautiful spot
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 We absolutely loved our stay at Baystone Bank.
Low light area meaning on a clear night, we could see so many stars. The staff were so cheerful and welcoming, firewood delivered at your pitch every night and a quiet area surrounded by sheep, horses and cows.
We felt very safe and secure. There is a little stream running through the site which the children loved to sit by. The showers could have been a touch cleaner but were still much better than most campsites, the staff checked on the toilet block regularly to make sure it was all tidy and well stocked. The showers were hot around the clock, which was great.
The only issue we had was being pitched close to the toilet block where people crossed our pitch a lot to get to it, as the only barrier was some bunting. This was pretty, but at one point, one of the other campers took it down to allow everyone to walk through our pitch because it was a tripping hazard. We did point out that this could be avoided by people walking around and sticking to the path as people were then tripping over our tent. This was not the fault of the staff but it may be worth separating the pitches with a more solid barrier to prevent this. It felt like it was a potential safety issue and our equipment could easily have been damaged.
The campsite and the staff were a delight and we had a blast. Would definitely recommend!
Happy hols
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Lovely farm site, clean facilities and very friendly staff, with a lovely café!
Amazing stay!
Trailer Tent - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2024 I would 100% recommend this site to anyone!
We stayed here as a family of 4 with 2 young children (6 & 7) and 2 dogs.
Every member of staff we spoke to or crossed paths with was lovely and happy to help where they could! Jamie especially, so huge shout out to him! He was always just a text away and nothing was too much trouble! You felt comfortable at all times!
Having the fire pits on each pitch was amazing, having a real fire on a night was great! Especially when you have door to door log selling service 😂
All facilities were great! Women's toilets always clean and tidy, only thing we could give a negative too would be the men's toilets, they were quite small and my partner could barely fit into a cubicle with 1 of our children where as the women's were brilliant! Showers very hot and comfortable, mop there everyday for people to just give them a wipe over when they had finished which most people did! Washing up facilities were great too! Lots of space and they also had a communal washing up liquid and sponges if people had forgotten to take theirs!
Over all this site is great! We loved how calm and quiet it was having the animals there to look at and see as well as the steam where the children could play! The site was never over packed like some sites and there was a lot of room to be comfortable and the kids to play!
My sister in law joined us on for a 3 night stay with her 2 children (3 & 6) and all the kids absolutely loved it! It was so peaceful and amazing views! It is a little further out and not much around but if you don't mind the extra travel which we didn't it's honestly amazing!
Again I would highly recommend this site to anyone! We will definitely be back again!
Thank you to Jamie and the team🥰 We had a wonderful time!
Does the job VW-Type Campervan - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 It's ok, but it's let down by its facilities. They're not the cleanest and it's seems like it was all built on a budget but that's not reflect in the price.
I stayed somewhere else the next night for the same price and it was completely different, very clean and well maintained.
This being said, the location is good, the people are nice, the stream is lovely and the horses are beautiful.
Weekend break
Medium Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 The location of the site is great if you want to get close to nature. We were camped right next to the stream.
Extremely close to either a beach or the mountains. Only downside was that the gents' toilets were blocked.
2 day stay
Medium Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Lovely place, beautiful surroundings. Only few issues, need more toilets as one was blocked, which left only one for everyone there. and showers could do with updating.
Lovely location, not very clean Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2024 Beautiful location with friendly, helpful staff on site.
Pitches small, not level and squashed together. Toilets/showers in need of refurbishment and cleaning - strong smell of stale urine throughout the entire block, bins overflowing.
Nice location but I wouldn't return due the the poor standards of cleanliness.
Lovley stay, first time camping
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Really nice site, people who run it kept the site & facilities clean and stocked up, plenty of space in the shower blocks and washing up area. We used an electric pitch, which was great, each pitch also had a fire pit and you can buy logs at the site to use. Views around the site were lovely. Would visit again.
Great stay, would definitely return
Medium Tent - Streamside Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Loved our stay. 10 mins to the beach which is very clean and gorgeous sunset. The facilities are good and clean and the staff very helpful. very peaceful site and great next to the stream listening to the water.
