Overbooked Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2023 The campsite was alright. A basic field with basic facilities. Location was okay, as it was a drive away from some nice walks and lakes although the view at the campsite wasn't the best.
The bins were pretty full and you could smell the septic tank although luckily we were on the next field so it didn't affect us as much.
One issue was the we paid for three pitches and an extra car space. When we arrived, we were given one pitch for the three tents and told that we can fit the car in the front of the pitch as there was no more space on the car park.
We were warned on a pit stop at the pub that he is known for overbooking the campsite, so I imagine we are not the only people to have this issue. We luckily managed to get a pitch in front as someone was leaving as we were setting up, but it we hadn't have managed that, we would not have been able to fit one medium tent and two small tents on one pitch with 4 cars.
Lovely site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2023 Owner was very helpful and accommodating. Great facilities and un-cramped pitches in several small fields which made it feel homely. I liked the fact that there was a freezer so you can use a cool bag instead of having to lug a fridge/cool box about.
I also liked the fact that there was a mix of campers - some with tents (ie. not all motor homes/caravans). A very pleasant stay.
Excellent location for exploring the Lakes
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whinfell Hall Campsite. It is in an excellent location to explore the Lake District and is very reasonably priced.
The site has showers and toilets, which were kept immaculately clean. There is also a washing-up area and a small freezer for campers to use. BBQs are allowed as long as they are raised off the ground and there is a designated area to leave disposal BBQs close to the washing-up area. The campsite is also dog friendly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Whinfell Hall Campsite as a good base from which to explore the Lakes.
Lovely quiet campsite
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 What a lovely site. Had everything we needed.
Very basic site Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 Very basic site, quiet and relaxed. Probably not for everyone as it is "very" basic and toilet roll and hand wash doesn't get replaced too often. We also didn't feel that the owner was always available.
Basic facilities, but very quiet and peaceful
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2023 Hot electric showers, level site and pub with good food 2 mins drive away. Gents loo had one cubicle and no loo roll though.
Saturday stay Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches May 2023 Nice campsite in a good location, facilities are dated compared to other sites but cheaper than them.
Basic, but nice
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches May 2023 If you need to stay in this area, it's a nice campsite. You have to phone a mobile on arrival to be told your pitch no. I couldn't get a reply at first and was blocking the drive, as it was not clear where to go.
The pitches are spacious and it's a fairly small campsite. I had wanted to get a shower, but the floors were filthy with mud from campers. I know this happens, but would have expected regular cleaning.
It's a lovely location, just a very basic campsite.
Reasonably priced, great location
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches May 2023 Lovely little find of a campsite. Location is great with a village shop selling essentials and other local produced items and a friendly pub with great food in walking distance from the site.
The site was well organised with numbered level pitches and electric points dotted throughout the three pitching fields. You call the number displayed at the site when you arrive and the owner comes out to guide you to the best spot for your set up.
The facilities are a little run down but there was hot running water, 2 roomy shower cubicles with hooks and a place to put your things, and 2 toilets.
The site was beautifully quiet during the day when everyone has gone out for the day, and we didn't have any issues at night either - everyone adhered to the 10.30pm quiet rule.
Regarding some negative reviews on here, I'm unsure what more people want for their money in the Lakes: if you want spa-like facilities, go and stay on the big sites in Keswick and Ravenglass and pay double or triple the price.
Lovely quiet campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2023 Lovely, quiet campsite about a 15 minute drive outside of Buttermere. We were met by a friendly staff member who left us to it.
Great little site!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2023 Great, organised, peaceful. Does the job not frills just great campsite with all the amenities!
Nice views and lovely pub.
Great facilities
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2023 Great facilities, really clean big sized pitch!
Tranquil setting in beautiful scenery.
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2023 Beautiful location, very peaceful. We stayed in spring, so it wasn't over busy. Facilities are basic, we didn't use the showers as it had been a really cold night and they are in an unheated large shed along with the toilets. It's a great spot to explore the lakes. Priced fairly according to facilities offered. We had a dog and there were no direct walks nearby, but situated on a nice quiet lane to have a stroll on.
