What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful farm setting with a convenient location near the M6 and Penrith, making it a great base for exploring the Lake District. Pitches are reportedly spacious and well-maintained, with clean toilet and shower facilities. Reviewers frequently praise the friendly and welcoming owners, the quiet atmosphere despite being on a working farm, and the surrounding countryside. Some guests noted ongoing construction and a second vehicle incident that led to negative interactions with the owner.
