What customers say
This basic, remote campsite offers stunning 360° countryside views, ideal for peace and quiet. Campers appreciated the friendly, helpful owner and the "wild camping" feel. Facilities are minimal, consisting of portaloos and a water dispenser, with some guests reporting issues with their cleanliness or availability, and a lack of drinking water. Access involves narrow lanes and a tight bridge. The site is considered pricey by some for its limited amenities, though many found it a perfect getaway.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Lovely basic campsite, (read the access and facilities info) worth it!
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Lots of space, dogs loved it. Views were amazing. Very basic but that’s in the description, two porta loos which are emptied and cleaned regularly (but still a bit manky, like most porta loos are lol).
Love that camp fires and bbq are allowed as can’t beat an evening sat by the fire enjoying the sunset.
Road in and out are a bit of an adventure on their own lol. We have a lwb high top transit. Wouldn’t want to attempt it in anything wider.
Definitely take note of the info on the booking site about which way to get to the site otherwise you will end up at a very narrow bridge.
Disliked Not a dislike just an observation. It’s on a hill (obviously lol) if it’s busy it can be a bit hard to find a good place to set up with out blocking people’s views. So just be mindful of this when deciding where to set up. Everyone is there to enjoy.

Liked Stunning scenery. You can have fires there.
Disliked I was surprised there was no drinking water. No water or soap in portaloo sink, poorly working flush in portaloo and so one of portaloo blocked.

Liked Absolutely stunning views, full moon, no light pollution stars amazing. It was a clear night.
Disliked Once you’ve driven up the very narrow single track lane, which I encountered a tracker n van my car has a scratch all down one side now hopefully will tea cut out.
Please could the farmers cut back the hedges to allow for passing vehicles.

Excellent wild camping site. Stunning views
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Location was perfect. 360° views of uninterrupted countryside. Farmer was friendly, came to say hello then left us to it. There were 2 portaloos but we didn't use them as had our own.
Not completely level, but we had ramps so wasn't a problem for us. Couldn't fault the site at all. Exactly what we needed - Peace and quiet
Disliked The bridge that the sat nav took us over, extremely narrow for a campervan, it was a very tight squeeze. Would go a different way next time.

I’d use it again happily

Liked Lovely spot at the foot of the Howgills, wonderful grass, portaloos and nothing else so basic and doesn’t attract noisy families, owner was straightforward and helpful in a Sedbergh armed way
Disliked If the wind is the wrong direction you can heat the main road

We absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nestled away from the bustle of Ullswater’s crowded spots, Beck Foot campsite was a gem of serenity. Its peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking 360-degree views made it feel like a hidden haven—perfect for couples seeking quiet and connection with nature. Though the facilities were basic, that raw simplicity added to its charm, giving us the exhilarating sense of wild camping without straying too far from comfort. We absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.
