Where do I start?! Absolutely amazing. Very clean and tidy. The site wardens Sandy and Bruce really make your stay extra special. They make sure you have everything you need and want, nothing is too much trouble for them. They make you feel so welcome always going that extra mile for you. They go round each pitch checking everything is ok for you and spend time getting to know you and have a good chin wag. The site is beautiful with stunning views of the mountains, they also have their own donkeys which is just too cute! Highly recommend this campsite and we will be back to visit.

Things to do on site and in the Holmrook area
There are many local walks along paths, bridleways and forestry tracks both low level and leading up onto the fells. Or you can get in your car and drive up to Wasdale Head (about 25 minutes) and walk on the high fells including England's highest - Scafell Pike.
Also in Wasdale is England's smallest Church (St Olaf's at Wasdale Head) and England's deepest lake - Wastwater (20 minutes). Wastwater is brilliant for canoeing/kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming (brrr) and West Lakes Adventures can be booked to take you on many guided activities.
Drigg beach is a ten minute drive and offers miles of golden sands and sand dunes which are a SSSI nature reserve, home to the rare Natterjack Toad. A great place for a full day out, a BBQ on the beach or a sunset stroll.
Other nearby attractions:
- Muncaster Castle (10 minutes)
- Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway (10 minutes)
- Eskdale Golf Course (15 minutes)
- Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (20 minutes)
- Hardknott Roman Fort and Thermae (25 minutes)
