Would come again, nice first time camp. Bring your own drinking water
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Was lovely and quiet and definitely worth a tenner. Relaxing evening, easy to locate with google maps link. Great for first camp before wild camping.
Disliked I would pay a bit more if less pitches were sold. Started to be really close to other pitches who are drinking etc through the night so are quite loud. But brought ear plugs .

Liked Great views, lots of space, very quiet. Also money made from this campsite goes to charity so well worth staying here just for that.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked What a little gem this campsite is! In such a peaceful and relaxing location. When arriving we got to choose where we wanted to pitch and the view was stunning. The price is absolutely amazing! Being a mum of 3 boys, this campsite was great for them to explore and play without disturbing anyone. We can’t wait to return, hopefully soon!
Disliked Nothing, this has been the most peaceful campsite I’ve ever been to!

Perfect back to basics campsite. You can do everything you need too!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Rural, quiet, easy to set up, local to Windermere.
Disliked No bins, although for the price (and the fact it’s for charity) you can’t go grumble.

Super spot avec très belle vue sur la campagne du lake district.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Un vrai super spot, sans artifices mais au cœur des collines du lake district.
Superbe vue, au calme. Un tarif parfait (£10). Certes il n'y a ni eau ni électricité c'est donc du quasi vrai camping sauvage. On peut tout de même y faire la vaisselle car le propriétaire /agriculteur a installé un évier inox alimenté par 2 cuves de 1 m3 chacune. Elles est non potable.
De très jolies balades depuis ce "camping"

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Such a beautiful campsite near a working farm and with mountain view. The property is vast and different elevations gives more privacy. You can see horses and sheep right next to the site. Short drive away from kendal town but gives wild camping vibes when quiet

Peaceful, back to basics camp site in a good location.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The campsite was peaceful, with plenty of space to pitch your tent.
The field is on a working farm but was tidy and the portaloos were kept really clean during our stay.
There was good phone signal and it was in an ideal location for us to be close to lots of attractions.
Extra bonus that the money goes to charity!

Basic, but pleasant site that is definitely worth a visit!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Peacock Farm. We are frequent campers but had never ‘wild’ camped before, so I wasn’t sure how we’d get on. But I think the plus sides of the setting made up for the lack of plumbing. We had a really lovely chat with the shepherd who talked us through all the different types of sheep they have, which we all loved.
There is currently two portaloos on site, which were absolutely fine as they were, but we just took anticbac wipes to keep them clean for the little ones. The loo roll was topped up as well! And not only that but the day after we arrived the farmer installed a sink unit that we could use for washing up - it was hooked up to grey water butts with their being no water on site, but even if it was hooked up to nothing, let me tell you it’s easier to washing up in a sink with your own water, than in a little tub! So we were appreciative of that.
We all said we would go back (three families camped) again and would be nice to see how the flock progresses next year
