Beautiful picturesque camp site, ideally located. Reception staff lovely, helpful and knowledgeably. Small but well stocked shop with breakfast butties and fresh coffee. We stayed beginning of August, the campsite was busy, the facilities reflected this and the bins were overflowing the whole stay (4 days). However, the site itself never felt anything other than peaceful. Bins aside, I was so pleased with the campsite it is with reluctance I mention the Brotherswater Inn, the food is a hard pass! The staff were neither friendly or helpful and the food was overpriced and of a very poor standard. Despite the Inn, I would recommend the campsite itself.

Good

A good campsite with lots of places to pitch your tent and park your car. Facilities were clean enough, lots of hot water in the showers. Staff friendly enough. They have a strong "don't want lots of adults booking together" which made for a peaceful campsite which suited me. Some great walks from the campsite but equally able to drive to different ones easily enough.

2 night getaway

A beautiful site with lovely views surrounding. It is a very quiet site which was lovely to relax after a day of exploring. We were first greeted by two lovely staff who checked us in, very friendly and helpful. Only niggles would be the postcode took us to another area and the showers weren't great. Would definitely return!

Very good

It was a very good stay. Views phenomenal. The on-site shop had everything you could need and the staff were helpful. The pub attached did good food but you must call to book asap in as it sells out. We shall return to tick off some more wainwrights.

Perfect!

This was the first time I've taken my children camping so can't compare with other sites. We found the staff friendly, plenty of space even though a very busy time of year and excellent weather, and the toilets/showers were kept pretty clean, especially considering how many people were there! We didn't use the shop/laundry/pot washing but the pub at the top of the hill was a great addition. Thank you.

Amazing location!

The site was in an amazing location, so scenic and picturesque. The size of the site is only small, so if you are looking for something quaint, then it's perfect. However, the pitches aren't numbered. This meant that (for us) a tent pitched about 1 meter away from ours which wasn't ideal, but also didn't completely ruin our experience. The toilets were standard and it was nice that the pub was only a 2 minute walk away! I would definitely recommend and return at some point :)

Amazing views

The site is very easy to get to and all the staff are very friendly. The toilets, showers are very clean and big, as well as the wash rooms. There is a pub just at the entrance of the campsite, which is a 2 min walk, no more. If you want food at the pub I would book ASAP (i.e. the day you get there, as when we wanted to book a table, it was booked up till after our visit).

A fantastic stay!

I booked a last minute stay and the process was so smooth from start to finish! I received a courtesy call confirming my booking with details on how to check in etc. On arrival the person checking me in gave me lots of of helpful guidance on where to eat (the pub was sadly fully booked) and how to get there, as well as guidance on the campsite and its facilities. The shop was a brilliant addition and the toilets/showers were in brilliant condition. The campsite is in such a lovely location and the scenery was stunning to wake up to! I thoroughly enjoyed my night here and will definitely be back!

Brilliant location

Great location, very clean campsite. Staff were fabulous and very helpful. Breath-taking views from your tent in all directions. Nice walks along the road or hiking in the hills, direct from the campsite.

Despite gale force winds for two nights, we loved it here and tried to book an extra night but they were fully booked. Such a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains. Very useful camp shop, easy access walks and pub onsite. Warm toilets, showers, washing machines, dryers and the best washing up room I've ever seen. Low areas can flood (were were warned about this by friendly lady on reception) so choose your spot carefully depending on the weather forecast.

Lovely stay at this campsite. Facilities were clean, close and well maintained. Little shop with various bits and plenty of space for parking on the campsite. Very easy to find and close to Glenridding. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great location, easy access to all parts of the Lake District. Probably could have done with a couple more water taps around the site.

Great views and well equipped

Pros - Fantastic views of the surrounding hills - Comes with a lot of facilities including showers, laundry room, washing up facilities - Even comes with a pub Cons - Could do with a kettle, but that's a minor point and I'd imagine some campers would be happier boiling their own!

Lovely site

Great campsite with clean bathrooms, a store with supplies and an Inn. Very close to multiple trailheads and with 5-10 min drive to the start of Helvellyn. Highly recommended!

Remote location close to Ambleside
