Liked: The campsite itself was lovely: gorgeous views and the river running right alongside. It's in really beautiful countryside with Wast water and Scafell Pike an easy drive away.
Liz the owner was really friendly and helpful and gave us advice on nearby garages as we had car trouble. I also saw her helping other campers the next day who had car trouble. She came over to the campsite regularly to check on the campers and have a chat.
Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely camp here again.

Liked: Liz was really welcoming when we arrived and if we had needed anything. The toilets were very clean and there was lots of space to choose where to pitch and then between tents which was great. We had a swim in the river so no problem with not having a shower, we would definitely come again - thank you!

Liked: Absolutely love this peaceful and relaxing campsite. Me and my 4 year old stayed here for 2 nights and we wanted to stay forever! It’s in such a lovely, great location. The portaloos are the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Liz was lovely and so friendly. We are so looking forward to returning next year.
