Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked: Stunning views, beautiful site, and walks direct from site. Short 15 minute drive to Ullswater or Keswick. Only four campervan pitches, so felt like wild camping. Spotless facilities and lovely hot shower. Washing and drying facilities on site. A great location, but quite exposed if it's windy, the price of the views I guess.
Disliked: Only real negative, is just one combined shower and toilet, which could mean a wait if someone else is using. Ideally they could do with another toilet.

Liked: Whole setup is well thought out with things within easy reach and logically situated, the one toilet and shower works as it's very compact site and it meant minimal chance of queuing, and that view is stunning.

Liked: Fabulous site and directions when needed. Very small and totally rural, being on a hillside near Ullswater. Hence two curlews flying noisily overhead in the early evening.
Disliked: Not a problem for us as we had only one other couple on site to share the sole toilet/shower room combined. Had all four lots been occupied that might have been inconvenient. Pun intended.

Liked: Amazing views, fab location and excellent shower facilities. A warm and friendly welcome on arrival, giving this campsite a good feeling from the start. Quite hilly, but a lovely walk around Mungrisdale from the campsite - lots to see and absolutely beautiful - along with a traditional pub to call in on the way back for food, drinks or just a coffee. What more could you ask for??!! 😍
