Overall, this was an incredible campground, location and facilities
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We went to Climb Scaffel (Due to heat we had to cancel the climb).
- The location to the Mountain Range for Scaffel Pike was really nice, it was further away but quieter, picturesque and one with nature.
- The facilities, Toilets, public wash sinks were incredibly clean , well looked after and seemed to be monitored daily. (these are open 24/7)
- Theirs a variety of different pitches in the lower fields, away from the main entrance, some towards the river or even several spaces for Vans.
- Their are showers, but not onsite. These are about a 5minute walk. The hosts(I believe Dan and Ruby) are incredibly useful, communication is very well.
A Bonus is that most of the pitches seem to be covered by the Trees/shade.
Disliked The only disadvatnage is that our Pitch (1+2) were incredibly hard to peg the tends down into the ground.
We're all experienced at camping, but some of the tent pegs would even dent the ground. (It is worth noting we arrived late).
Great site , small clean , lady who run the site was so helpful

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Really well organised site, I like having a designated pitch so not too close, shower was hot, pizza was delicious, loads of hikes from the site and buses to Keswick.
Disliked There were a loud group playing music and dominating a bit, to be fair they didn’t really bother me and not the owners fault but it detracted a bit from the nice calm feel.
Fantastic place to camp and hike.

Liked That there was no signal so we could switch off. The access to hikes from the campsite. The local pub has delicious food after a long day hiking!
Location is very good.…
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Location is very good.
Disliked The place was a free-for-all no clear pitches for the vans, we paid for van with awning didn't expect to be on a slope
Great location with a beautiful setting
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked The location was perfect for where we wanted to visit - Honister Slate Mine, Crummock Water and Keswick.
The toilets were basic but did the job as did the washing facilities.
The site was relatively quiet but I suppose this will change in the school holidays.
I liked how Daniel came around twice per day to check on things. We did have to point out broken glass and as we had two dogs, we picked it up but he said he would be back the next day to check the whole area.
Disliked The broken glass but that is the responsibility of those people staying there. Can't understand why the showers are located near the farm and not on the site itself. Would make it a much better place to stay if they were located on the actual camp site.
Good campsite for young folk. But beware of road when having shower!
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked The two toilets for ladies were clean.
Would have enjoyed this campsite about 40 years ago, when I was a fit, young and lived in an urban area.
Disliked Difficult to find a level and non boggy pitch for campervan.
Only one toilet for men, which lead to a queue in the morning...(which may lead men to have a "wild wee" instead, which I feel is not hygienic on a campsite!)
No hot water for washing up.
Had not realized showers were off site - concerned about walking along the lane then main road, in twilight / dark. No pavement in lane. Small verge on main road.
Received e-mail information details regarding shower location after we had left home. Would have been nice to have received it at time of booking.
good site, would definitely stay again

Liked flat level pitches
Disliked only 1 toilet on the site itself
