Liked: Wow!! I asked for remote and this place is remote! It's by far the most stunning place I've ever stayed! It was so quiet and peaceful, plenty of space on the field to pitch up where you wanted. The owner was so lovely and friendly. Literally a two minute walk to the lake which is beyond picturesque. I'm just gutted we didn't get a chance to go out onto the lake, the weather just wasn't great. Which was the only downside to our trip. Without a doubt we will be back. It's everything I could have wanted and more. I'm so glad that I've found this hidden gem.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing at all. The owners couldn't have changed the weather which was the only downside!

Liked: Wonderful location and great back to basics campsite. Very friendly and helpful owner. There was loads of space on the site, even fully booked (no cramming in the tents here). Being just a stones throw to the lake for swimming and playing in boats was ideal, and stunning views from the top of Whin Rigg next door.
Disliked: There were midges about on an evening and morning, but pretty unavoidable this time of year and once a slight breeze came up they were soon gone.

Liked: Beautiful surrounds.spacious with pitching on the Thursday.accomadating hosts.water container changed daily.portaloos cleaned daily with adequate loo roll and gel. Ten mins walk down to lake. Backs onto gorgeous woodland.posdible our favourite camp yet.bonus of seeing jets training over lake.
Disliked: I was reluctant to camp low down in the field incase it was a wash out so was left to camp on slope which created bad sleep and also didn't want the car to get stuck. Shower would have made a great weekend super but I knew there wasn't 1 before I booked.

Liked: Great location, 15 mins walk from pub, 5 mins walk from lake, really nice cafe just outside of campsite on the river, views of mountains around the campsite. Rather quiet site. Probably the cheapest campsite in the lake District. Well worth 10 pound a night. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: Lot of midges
