Campsite in a brilliant location
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 The campsite is in a beautiful location with stunning scenery and easy access to local hotspots.
The pub on site is a nice bonus, and the windy roads that lead to the site are extremely fun and enjoyable to drive. The site itself was busy whilst we were staying, but facilities were always accessible. The bathrooms were clean enough but nothing special with hot showers.
Only slight downside was that the bins were very full across the site for our whole stay! Highly recommend staying here on a visit to the Lakes and make sure you have a pint at The Kirkstone Pass Inn, just up the road, which has the most extraordinary view as you sit and enjoy your drink!
Fabulous camping with stunning views
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 The campsite has the flattest, well-mowed camping field I have ever pitched on!
It's a great location with good facilities - the shop was well stocked with essentials and there was a freezer for ice packs. The staff were really helpful when the wind broke one of our tent poles at 7pm on the 2nd evening. We were able to stay in the cosy bunkhouse, rather than facing a 4 hour drive home.
Our stay was cut short by the broken tent but we'll definitely be back.
Fantastic
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Fantastic nice view really enjoy
Great stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 This was my first time in the lake district and it was a great campsite to explore some of the local trails in the area, as well as drive onwards to other places in the area.
The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful, and the tuck shop was extremely appreciated for the odd items I had forgotten to pack.
amazing campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 a gem of a campsite. perfect location as a base camp for some stunning day walks in the big hills of the Lakes.
Campsite very efficient to check in, great instructions and the facilities wear fantastic.

Weekend camp with family
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 What a lovely, picturesque spot. Plenty of space and friendly staff. We will be back in the future.
Stunning place
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Unbelievable views all around this campsite. Everything that you need is there, great shop, pub, large and very clean toilet and shower block. There are rules around fires out at 11 and max 6 adults in a group which are non moveable but that's what keeps this place in such good condition with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend and is on our list to visit again.
Weekend away
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Sites most impressive feature is its view. ,just stunning scenery. Camping with your boys the shop selling ice creams and things I’d forgotten was really handy. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but the bar was well stocked and friendly staff. We would definitely camp here again.
Solo camping
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Excellent campsite in a beautiful, peaceful setting, with plenty of walks for different abilities from the campsite.
With a good shop of camping essentials and freezer to use for your ice packs.
Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff gave me some great ideas on where to go walking and wild swimming from the campsite or close by.
One girl gave me some helpful tips on how to create a route on my OS map app, shame I didn't get her name. I enjoyed tasty and nutritious meals both nights at the Brotherswater Inn on site, loved the half portion sizes as it was a hot weekend I couldn't face a full portion. Also lovely rose wine and good selection of other drinks too.
Great showers and toilet block, I didn't use the washing up area but it looked very spacious and clean.
I will definitely be back to camp and eat at the Inn 😊
First time
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Lovely site with everything you could need ! Staff in the shop are so warm and friendly , we will definitely be back
A beautiful place
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 A beautiful place with lovely reception staff; it was clean and—most importantly—quiet, because that's exactly why you go there: to avoid loud music and shouting.
This place has stolen my heart.
Camping at Sykesdie
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Excellent spot at the top of Ullswater.
So many hiking opprtunities locally.
Facilities were generally clean and staff were friendly and helpful.
Wonderful place
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2026 Wonderful campsite not far from Ambleside. Close to a lot of great hikes but a little remote if you're wanting to venture out. It does have a on site pub, which was superb, and the shop in reception covers just about anything you need.
Campsite was organised well and good value for money. Rules are chill. Only real downside is the showers and toilets were a little on the muddier side but was ok regardless.
Overall, would recommend.
Great scenery, amenities and staff!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2026 The staff were very friendly and helpful, the on site shop was a godsend too as it had everything you could need, aside from tents themselves!
The location was amazing and we didn't find it difficult to get to where we wanted to from the campsite
Fantastic place to stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2026 Absolutely fantastic camp site, brilliant facilities on side, a pub for food and drink which we didn’t end up using, a shop, clean hot showers, plenty of toilets, pot washing and laundry facilities. Lovely quiet relaxing camp site with stunning 360 views of the hills and mountains. Beautiful stream not too far and a great location for visiting other lakes. Sheep on site were cute and added ambience to the sounds of nature whilst sleeping and relaxing in our tent. Well sign posted and friendly staff members. Would definitely stay again and have already recommended to everyone I know. Thank you Sykeside!

Lovely campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2026 Lovely campsite, great areas to pitch your tent. Shop on site had everything you needed, was
great for families.
Didn’t get into the pub so didn’t try their food, showers & toilets were what I would expect on a campsite.
Fantastic! Gorgeous surroundings, clean facilities and friendly staff.
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2026 Loved our stay here! Beautiful views in every direction and close to everything you could want. Aira Force Falls and the lakes were great.
Good site, but busy and quite strict
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2026 Location is good for walking, like Hellvelyn and similar mountains nearby, however, not the best for pubs or restaurants.
Only one within walking distance is Kirkstone Inn pass which is very busy, anything else is 2+ hour walk or drive it. Site had good facilities, though the ground waterlogged easily and the site is pretty strict about quiet time. As in, all fires are to be out and if not, they come round and pour water on them.
Great site!!!!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2026 Nice quiet site, ground well maintained, facilities nice
Lovely farm
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2026 Great location, lots of facilities, bathrooms could do with a more regular clean
Best Campsite in the area!
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2026 Absolutely amazing, best campsite I have been to in this area! Cannot believe how much is available; pub, shop with coffee machine, clean and well maintained toilets and showers. The site itself is well kept and really welcoming. Will definitely be returning again this year.
