Hazel Mount Fellside Reviews

A great wee find

What a lovely little, quirky find this site is. With everything you need and nothing that you don't, we had a sheltered and secluded pitch (bluebell), with views of the coast while being in easy reach of lakeland swims and walks. It's restored my faith in camping as an escape and we hope to be able to return (maybe even in better weather, but that's half the fun). Ruth is a great host, on hand personally or by phone, the cute wee loos are clean and the supply cupboard is a fabulous idea. She's having a good go at providing something a little bit different and we wish her every success. Well recommended.

Absolutely wonderful

Such a lovely stay, truly a beautiful site and Ruth was such a wonderful host who made sure we were comfortable. It was peaceful and great for dogs. As it's off grid completely, not a campsite for those who like their home comforts, but it was absolutely perfect for us and the dog and the views are incredible, even with the mediocre weather we had. Definitely worth a visit!

Thank you for leaving a lovely review Megan. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the weather didn't dampen your spirits. Until next time, all the very best, Ruth ☺️

Beautiful view and lovely owner

Amazing view in every direction just from the tent, it was easy to find and the owner was very nice and helpful, plus the sheep are very cute :)

Thank you for leaving a lovely review, Miriam. So glad you enjoyed your stay at my little plot of paradise. The sheep are cute but hopefully I'll have cuteness overload soon with some chicks - my gorgeous little hen Pumpkin is currently sitting on a clutch. You'll have to come back and see for yourself. Until then, all the very best, Ruth

Wonderful stay in the Lake District

I cannot recommend this campsite enough. The spot had a very secluded vibe while still being within driving distance to plenty of hiking spots and towns. Ruth was a fantastic host and made us feel so welcome. This trip was my friend's first time camping in a number of years and she left inspired to do some more camping on her own! Thanks Ruth!

Thank you for a lovely review, Laura. So glad you both enjoyed your stay at my little plot of paradise. Fantastic to hear more camping trips are now on the agenda! Thank you also for keeping the sheep out of my hay meadow, very much appreciated. Am still waiting on the better weather to return so I can harvest it. Look forward to welcoming you both back, and Toasty. Until then, all the very best, Ruth.

Our stay at Hazel Mount Fellside

Ruth is a lovely welcoming host that couldn't do enough to help. Bottled drinking water was provided on arrival and you could hire a BBQ and charcoal for our pitch for £5. The campsite was quiet and remote and the views are beautiful. We didn't use the solar shower due to the rain but the shower cubicle was very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon. Thank you again.

Thank you for leaving a lovely review and your incredibly thoughtful card, Catherine and Zoe. I have it pride of place at home and often read it especially when I'm having a tough day. It was a pleasure to meet you both, and would be lovely to welcome you back. Until then, all the very best, Ruth.

Proper wild campsite - lovely stay!

What an amazing stay! The location was incredible, the views amazing and it felt incredibly wild. The host was so helpful and welcoming - couldn't recommend the site enough!

Thank you for a lovely review Madeleine. Yes the weather wasn't the best for your stay and certainly felt wild at times. British summers hey. Glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Ruth

Perfect spot for us

Great for a happy medium between wild camping and a plug-in campsite. Great views, nice and quiet, and a very warm welcome.
