Paddock electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Stunning view and excellent facilities. The lady who welcomed us was very friendly.
Disliked: That others in the camp can play music. It was at a respectable level but would prefer if there was none played at all and can just enjoy the sounds of nature.

Orchard electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Great sized pitches, amazing views and clean facilities. I felt safe and the site was quiet and relaxing! Designated car parking was great too on the yard. Pitches were well kept and spaced out so didn’t feel cramped with other campers around.
Disliked: Could have had more showers/toilets for the amount of pitches but generally no problems having to wait to use the facilities!

Paddock electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The incredible lake views! Especially early morning in the mist it felt like we were in Lord of the Rings.
The lovely clean loos, showers and washing up area.
Other campers really friendly.
Watching the baby lambs leap and play.
Disliked: Even though they were lovely and clean, there weren’t really enough loos and showers for all the campers. 2 loos and 2 shower/loo combos total.
Sadly didn’t get to chat to the owners as it was lambing season and they were round the clock busy which was totally understandable.

Paddock electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The owner was very friendly and showed us to the pitch on arrival. She explained the layout and also advised we could buy eggs and logs if required.and use the games room. The location had a tremendous view over Bassenthwaite lake The toilet block was clean and warm.
Disliked: I had to wait quite a long time to use the toilets / showers as there are only two showers and two separate toilets which is fine when the site is not full.
