Fantastic. Even with the rain.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Really lovely location. Friendly staff. Nice pitches. Toilet and shower blocks were amazingly clean and tidy. A LOT of rain fell the 2 days we were there and although the ground was a bit sodden in places the pitches seemed to hold up really well. We were over near to the overflow camping spot. If the weather was better I would have probably pitched there as the views were nicer, however you were further from the toilets. There's a really good play park there as well. I don't have children, but it looked really good and a lot of equipment for kids to play on. Great washing up facilities and microwave available. We had fish and chips in the evening which were really good and the staff there were friendly and it was fast service. I would definitely go camping there again. I was really pleased with the campsite. Possibly one of the best ones I've used in my 40+ years of camping. Everyone was really friendly and there was no noise at night, except for the snoring from a tent box. Which was funny.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Great site great location for accessing Ullswater and aria falls
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked: Really good site for young families with a brilliant play area and a clubhouse filled with arcade type machines and a pool table.
Disliked: The showers were modern and clean however one I went on wouldn’t stay on for longer than 10 seconds then one a valve was broke and wouldn’t go off. Would be an improvement for an inbetween as 10 seconds is not long enough to wash is very annoying having to try and wash whilst holding the button down. Then another not going off and the drying area getting flooded so had to retreat to a toilet cubicle to get dry and dressed

From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re really pleased to hear that you found the site great for young families and that the play area and clubhouse added some extra fun to your stay.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the showers. Our showers are set to run on an eco-friendly timer to help conserve water and reduce our environmental impact. We understand that the short bursts can be a bit tricky when you’re trying to juggle washing and rinsing, and we’re actively looking into ways to make the experience more user-friendly without compromising our sustainability goals.
We hope to welcome you back soon.
