Fantastic site with views to match
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything......what a great little spot.
Easy to find, easy to park, and plenty of space to pitch a tent.
Fantastic views and very peaceful.
There were quite a few people there....as to be expected on a bank holiday weekend, but it didn't feel crowded or noisy.
I went to this area as I wanted to scatter my late mothers ashes on the hills overlooking Windermere (she loved it there) and this was the perfect base to do just that. I was up in the fells on foot quite quickly as the site is only a few miles from the lake. Camp fires are allowed, so once I'd returned from my hike, I lit up a fire pit and watched the sun go down with a cold beverage and a hassle free evening. Slept like a log with no disturbances both nights I was there.
The local village is easy to find and easy to get to. It has a small Spar shop and a great pub with great food and friendly staff.
I will defo be back next year, and for longer, so that I can explore the area under happier circumstances.

Liked Everything, the views were amazing! Such a lovely quiet campsite, on arrival you choose your own pitch, you just drive in and start pitching up. Garage 5 minute drive away incase you need anything you have forgotten. The fact that this earnings from this campsite go to charity make the whole experience even better. Obviously no WiFi but signal was fine
Would highly recommend visiting! ☺️
Disliked We stayed Friday-Sunday in the heat so by Sunday the portaloo toilets weren’t the best. Were manageable though.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We really enjoyed our stay at Peacock Farm Wild Camping. The place is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful mountains and lovely views – perfect if you want to escape from home and everyday noise.
The toilets were not super good, but we knew from the booking that they are portable, so it was expected. It’s more like true wild camping, with a simple setup, which makes it feel very relaxing and natural.
Great spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful break. 🌿⛺️

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really big open field. So peaceful. The kids absolutely loved it. Loved the animals. The farmer was really lovely also! The toilets was clean and there was a tap to wash up and stuff so was really helpful.
Disliked Just the fact you have to park your car away from your tent. Rather have my car at the side.

From the manager: Hi next year we will let people park next to cars . We didnt know this was a thing. . Thank you so much for coming
