Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2022

For £48 for three nights in the Summer holidays, this really is a gem. Very basic facilities but that doesn't bother me, as that's what camping is all about! Location was so peaceful, we were right at the end near a trickling brook. Short drive to Cockermouth with supermarkets and great chippy. 20 minute drive to Keswick. Would stay again!

Poor facilities

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2022

I'm not usually one to complain or leave negative reviews, but I was unimpressed with this campsite. Maybe it's because we stayed in August during a heatwave, but site was very crammed with people on top of each other - not what I'm used to from other campsites. We had requested 3 pitches next to each other via email in advance + told this wasn't a problem. On arrival, the site owner said this wasn't possible + we had to squash two tents in together + one in an adjacent field. The location is great near Buttermere, Crummock + Loweswater with a decent pub with good food a walkable distance away. Facilities are not good at all - 2 toilets for each gender + 2 showers in basically a converted barn that I think needs a facelift. Toilets also ran out of toilet paper. The washing up area is in another cobwebbed basic barn. The 2 nights we stayed were noisy with a group of lads making a racket until 2am. I spoke to the site owner after the first night who said he'd deal with it + clearly he didn't as the noise was the same on our second night. I wouldn't recommend or return to this site.

Good location, basic facilities

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2022

Good location for the C2C cycling route - it is on the route! Generous pitches and the site is not too crowded. The facilities are a converted barn - and doesn't look like much was spent on the conversion which was not recent. The showers were warm though.

Nice campsite in a beautiful environment

Nice and small campsite in the northern lakes, with clean but sober facilities.

Lovely campsite

Very nice place, quiet and safe. Toilets are not big enough for so many people and would be nice to renovate them a bit. Lovely campsite for a family holiday!

Very good place
