Fantastic location with friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of space to choose where to pitch tent. And the on site shop was great.

Great stay, lovely campsite with a really belting view every way you look. Lovely flat pitches and space to park near your tent which always makes life easier. Good range of facilities, hot showers, laundry facilities etc. Felt like it was a monitored site too, and it wasn't noisy or rowdy. We didn't get to visit the pub sadly as was fully booked a week in advance when I enquired, so factor that in. We stayed during a huge thunderstorm, was quite epic hearing it bounce off the mountains surrounding us, very memorable experience!

Staff were really helpful and easy to approach. There was a storm whilst we stayed and they had staff come out to make sure everyone was okay.
Nice site!

Good site. There was a big storm during our stay and a lot of the campsite flooded out. Not the site's fault in any way but worth noting that water does stand on several parts of the campsite. It did drain fairly quickly and the site attendant was excellent checking on everyone.
Amazing site

What an amazing place! Stayed for four nights and cannot fault it. Perfect location, great staff and facilities. Ideal if you really want to get away from it all. Will definitely return in the near future.

Fantastic campsite. Staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. It was excellently located to head off onto the fells to bag some Wainwright's. Facilities were always clean and available. Plenty of hot water for showers etc. We will 100% be booking again.

Great place for a base to explore the fells from. Decent pub on the site. We stopped when the heavens decided to open this week, but would return with hopefully better weather next time.
Will book again

Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Lots of bins to get rid of rubbish. Good value for money. Book early if you want to eat in the pub as it was booked out all weekend. Limited choice for breakfasts and coffee is over priced.
Really nice campsite

Really nice campsite, really nice guy who owns it. Everything's very very clean, great shop on site. Really enjoyed the weekend and lovely views from the site. We will be back. Great location for a lot of walks and places in the lakes. Thank you.

My partner and I spent the last two nights at Skyeside Camping Park, and we can honestly say, it's one of the best we've stayed at yet. Location was fantastic with easy access to the Fells. Toilets and showers were very clean, great shop for the essentials and a nice pub, what else could you ask for. Only bad point I can think of, the pub get booked up well in advance for food, so make sure you book a few weeks before your stay. Other than that, I'd say 5 stars for Skyeside.
Loved it, will be back

We had a blast, we phoned and booked a day early to arrive and luckily they had space, wasn't too crowded for it being a bank holiday and didn't have any issues. The restaurant food was fast and good so perfect there. Will 100% be back, thank you.
Very, very good

Really lovely place will definitely be coming back. Right in the valley so stunning views, with frequent fighter jets flying past, very cool. Showers are very hot with no option to cool it down but otherwise, all the amenities are great.

We booked two pitches for our tents fairly last minute and were happy there was availability. The campsite was very good, it's in a lovely setting with plenty of room to pitch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The toilets and showers were plentiful and very clean. We didn't get chance to use all the facilities available due to the fact we had just completed a 10km hike with 1,000m of elevation so we just crashed out in our tents exhausted! Would definitely recommend and return again.

Good site, we felt it was a little bit weird that one of the owners (we think) starts patrolling the campsite at night - we felt a little bit like it was a school trip with him doing that. Decent distance to multiple hikes throughout the district.
Excellent campsite

Fantastic location, family friendly, staff really helpful. Toilets clean, only gripe is the showers were too hot and you can't control the temperature as they are push button style. We were lucky enough to have several low flying jets passing directly overhead through the site, quite a spectacle. Would visit again!
Great Stay!

Really enjoyed it here, will definitely come again. Staff are friendly and prices reasonable. Location is easy to get to, roads are pothole free which is a nice surprise. Only gripe is the group bookings which seemed way more than the maximum on the site, which was annoying.
Great campsite nestled within a valley

This campsite has lovely views & easy going vibe. There is a shop onsite with all the necessities you need, pitches are perfectly fine. I would say that it is quite a busy campsite - at least during the time I went. Unfortunately, there was a group of people playing "drum and bass" music quite loudly until 10:30. Fortunately, a campsite employee had come by to ask them to stop. Other than this, the entire campsite kept to the quiet rule - creating a nice atmosphere. Although this group was through no fault of their own & I understand it may be difficult to turn people away, but I would just keep an eye out for "party" groups that wish to book. There is a 6 booking limit in place to mitigate this. All in all, stunning location! Peaceful once the group left & I would return!
