When we left the campsite, we were amazed how close it was to the M6, only 15 minutes drive, and yet it felt a world away. Very peaceful, really only the sounds of birds, sheep, cows and children! Amazing views over the peaks and hills around Windermere. The facilities included everything you could need; toilets, showers, and washing up stations were all really clean and well maintained, there was a communal fridge, washing machine and electric charging points in the bathrooms, welcoming reception and shop that was well stocked with food and toiletries, as well as wood for the fire pits. Sites were well marked out and being a small site there wasn't much traffic so children could run around safely. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, but I imagine in wet weather, it would still work well as there were shared covered areas with benches, and gravel pathways and drives to avoid mud. An 8pm curfew meant you were not disturbed by late arrivals or headlamps after dark, but the friendly staff were a little flexible on the timing. A great pub, The Derby Arms was less than 10 minutes drive and you could walk to it along the roads or through the fields, good food. Staff at Moscow were very welcoming and friendly and gave us a great introduction on arrival. I felt they had thought everything through to make the site work really efficiently.
Great!

Stayed for two nights in Rabbit's Burrow glamping pod, it was great! Lovely sheltered outdoor cooking area and hot tub. First time glamping for us and it was an amazing experience with beautiful views. Toilet and shower facilities were spotlessly clean. Hosts were very friendly and chatty, nothing was too much trouble for them. Great value for money, would definitely recommend booking.
Great escape option

It was excellent. The people are nice, the facilities are clean and have everything you would need and more. The only problem is, it might not be the best for backpackers as it might not be so accessible by bus or to any attractions. Regardless, the landscape itself was stunning.
Brilliant and would return

Nice spot, friendly staff and plenty of hot water for showers. However, seems there was a lack of information before and during our stay. No bin for pooh bags that we could see. Stopped in a lodge which was OK but, in our opinion, seemed expensive for what it was. We thought it had a fully equipped kitchen but there was only a 2 ring hob with no grill or oven, a toaster would have been nice. It was okay for short stay.
Great place to camp

A great place to camp and the shop had everything you needed. The showers are nice & warm and the toilets were cleaned frequently. There was communal area to sit and light a fire and the staff were super welcoming! The only negative was that the Wi-Fi wasn't great (I know you're supposed to be camping!). Luckily, I was able to get 5g as I'm with EE, however my partner on Vodaphone had no signal whatsoever. The staff mentioned that they are investing in a mast, this would make future stays perfect!

A Beautiful and quiet site. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The facilities were basic, but clean and adequate. There was a great little shop that even had coffee made in morning. A lovely walk to the Derby Arms which is a friendly pub that had a good crack with locals and staff. Would definitely recommend and will be returning for another stay soon.

Veronica was very welcoming when we arrived. All facilities are well-maintained and spotless. The shop has all you might need and is reasonably priced too. There are yurts on the site with hot tubs that look amazing. We will definitely be returning to stay in one of those ☺️

Good site, in a remote area, would recommend for a nice quiet stay. Lots of walking available from the site but nearest pubs/shop was a good 45min - 1hr walk away. Facilities were nice but very cold and showers weren't the cleanest but with flip flops it would be fine! A shop onsite was good with most essentials.
Best quiet sleep for ages

Brilliant site, in the middle of nowhere. Quiet, quaint, and friendly, staff were perfect, and very helpful. The ground was a bit rocky underground to get the tent pegs in, but that could just be that one pitch, and we overcame that. All in all, an excellent site, and they offer yurts and log cabins. Campfires are allowed, as are BBQs. What more could you want in a campsite?

We had a lovely stay in Clover yurt. The campsite was clean and had nice shower and washing up facilities, communal fridge and freezer. And access at a cost to a washing machine and drier. Our only criticism would be that the yurt cost a lot to keep warm during our stay. As did the hot tub.

In a campervan on a grass pitch, with electric plug in. Hardstanding would be so much better. The guys who greeted us were polite and friendly. The showers were hot and kept clean, bearing in mind a lot of people do not clean up after themselves. Overall for what we paid, this site was great value. Oh and the shop is a plus.
Great campsite close to Lake Windemere

Accomodation was great fun with wood burner for the yurt and hot tub. The yurt was designed for 6 (which would be a squeeze) but for the two of us was perfect. The yurts are best for family groups or very close friends. Staff all amazingly helpful. Facilties a little basic, but they plan to do some big upgrades over the winter so this would be well worth a visit next season.

A lovely quiet site. The only issue at all was access as the area has very twisty tight roads, so be prepared! Otherwise, would highly recommend. Helpful staff, safe, everything there that you need.
Cute and quiet with good facilities
