Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

The communication from the people on site was exceptional. On the way to the campsite we received an upgrade due to the state of the field (due to weather), so we stayed in a pod. The pod had a heater which was great for the cold night, and the views in the morning were amazing! It had private cooking space, separate from the bed, it also had a toilet and shower.

Would highly recommend!

Camping Pod - Camping Pods with Hot Tubs (Dog Friendly)Aug 2024

Lovely pod and welcoming host - had all the amenities we needed and more! Enjoyed the views and stargazing in the hot tub, and was exactly what we needed as an overnight stop on a long journey.

Great location, great site!

FAQ

No, the site only accepts a tent per pitch.

The site asks if you can please check-in between 2pm until 10pm for camping between 3pm until 10pm for glamping. Check out is due before noon on your last day for camping and before 11am for glamping pods.

Dogs are welcome with a maximum of two per pitch. Breeds and crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. The site does ask that they remain on the lead at all times and are also supervised.

BBQs are welcome but please ensure they are raised off the ground and are attended by an adult. Campfires are also allowed as long as they are in raised fire pits!

The site is designed to be peaceful for couples and families so unfortunately they do not accept group bookings, sorry.

Yes, there is parking for one car at each pitch. Additional cars are allowed in the designated area free of charge!


A 30 minute drive will take you to both Keswick and Derwentwater, as well as Ullswater in the heart of the Lake District National Park, lovely days out for the whole family.

If you're looking for stunning mountain walks then the Northern fell range is much closer, much quieter and well worth exploring. Don't forget to pack your camera as the views at the top are stunning.
