What customers say

Great location for fells & Derwent Water. Staff are friendly, facilities clean (hot showers!), and it's a relaxed vibe. Fire pits rentable. Some noise from campers & basic facilities noted during busy times.

Nicola W.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Fantastic and simple site with wonderful views of Coledale Horseshoe. Friendly and helpful staff. Shower and toilets kept clean. Separate field for adults only which was a bonus. Walks from the door step and nice pub 5 minute walk away. Bust stop about 1- 2 mule walk.

Lovely sight, with all you need surrounded by Lakeland Hills.

Local attractions

Those of you who are ready and willing to get a little mucky (go on – you’re on holiday) might want to get started with some quad biking or Segwaying 10 minutes’ walk from the site. You’ve got a few ways to get stuck in at Whinlatter Forest Park (15 minutes' drive) – aside from hiking, cycling and mountain biking, there are zipwires and treetop obstacles to tackle on the Go Ape course. That’s not all in the way of outdoorsy pursuits. The local adventure centre (five minutes) runs kayaking and canoeing, scrambling, rock climbing, archery and another high ropes course. If you like a challenge, Catbells (five minutes) is a fell with a six-kilometre hike. For a watersports day, nearby Nichol End Marine (five minutes) offer a 20% discount for all campsite guests (just ask the site for the discount code after you've booked your pitch). Otherwise, take a more leisurely route (or a boat, if you want to rest your feet) around Derwentwater (10 minutes’ walk). Aira Force Waterfall (half an hour’s drive) has more spectacular water scenery. For more of those chilled-out activities, be sure to call by the Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes) and Castlerigg Stone Circle (15 minutes), a Neolithic stone circle.
