Clean site and polite and helpful owner
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2023 A nice clean campsite with facilities as advertised. Toilets and shower areas were clean and well maintained.
We were greeted by the owner who was kind and helpful. The location only has the one pub next door within walking distance (which we didn't use). However, there are some lovely paths to go on walks nearby and access to the Thirlmere infinity pool (a gorgeous spot and well worth a visit).
Our only downside about this location was that it is beside a busy main road. We always both wear earplugs but through this. It did wake us up numerous times in the night.
However, the second night we stayed, we kept the pop top down (which helped) so got a better night's sleep.
Fantastic location and views
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Fantastic location and views. Toilet and showers clean and in a quirky barn. Pub through gate next door serves fantastic food.
Only downside is busy noisy road in front, used until late at night. There was a fast flowing noisy stream - remember to take earplugs and it's a fantastic site.
Great location VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Lovely location for a short stay if you're wanting to explore & go on some beautiful walks.
There is no hot water to wash your pots & very basic washrooms. Sadly, the hosts let this place down, we asked to park our small van in their car park for 2 hours or even on the side of the field, while we went for a walk but the man just straight up said "no" and didn't offer us any alternatives or recommendations, just what we felt was a very rude 'no'.
Thankfully, the lovely man next door at the pub offered us parking all day and the service there is great compared!
Great site
Motorhome - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2023 Friendly welcome, stunning views and great walking directly from the site.
Despite a slightly noisy road, we extended our stay by a further 2 to the 3 we had booked. The pub next door does great food, but a little expensive.
A great site and I have already recommended to friends.
Great and peaceful
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 A great place to stay.
Noisy! VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 I feel a little harsh writing this in respect to the owners who seemed nice enough.
The term 'you get what you pay for' is relevant in regards to being cheap and cheerful, but the A road is literally a few metres from the pitches, resulting in a very noisy stay. That's not what I was looking for in the ambient Lake District. .
Mixed VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Pluses - Great location for Helvellyn walk, the infinity pool and Keswick and is right next to a pub with Wi-Fi.
Minuses - Right next to a noisy road which is busy most of the day. Unable to relax due to that. No signal or Wi-Fi for keeping in touch. Showers have no room for different heights as the heads are fixed and at 1 temperature.
Good for 1 or 2 night stop to use for the area.
Lake District summer stay
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Great location, central for all our needs in visiting local towns of Ambleside & Keswick.
Nice level pitch with water supply next to us. Facilities are fine for the money you pay, showers boiling hot, clean & functional toilets.
You know when booking that it's next to a main road, but the noise soon dies down and didn't bother us. Some nice walks to be had from the campsite as well. The food in the pub next door is highly recommended.
Lovely little place
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 This is a nice little camping spot. Small, so nice and quiet, not loads of people, just a nice amount.
Pitch sizes are very good. Showers lovely and hot. Nice to have a decent pub next door that serves good food in case you don't feel like cooking.
The only negative is that the site is situated right by a busy road but we had read about that before booking and the reviews mentioned that it is nice and quiet at night, which it is.
One night stay VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Nice little campsite. Basic campsite but was ok for our one night stay. I would stay again.
Great base to walk from
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Everything you need with no frills pub on site, really good. Showers hot.
Our stay
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 As advertised, a budget campsite with clean facilities.
Situated next door to a pub that serves great food. We can recommend the steak & kidney pudding.
Great location to reach Hellvelyn and Thirlmere Water.
Wet and windy
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 It rained most of our stay but that wasn't the site's fault. The checking in was seamless and helpful. All the facilities were clean and there was always plenty of hot water for showers. Direct access from the site to the pub next door was also nice, so you didn't have to walk out onto the busy road to get there. Great views and plenty the fresh air along with peace and quiet.
