Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Great location, beautiful setting in a disused (many years ago) Quarry. Nature has livingly taken over and the owners have sympatheticly created a lovely site. Each pitch is level with EHU, and water. It has lovely shower rooms with heated floors. They were always clean, and never closed.
It is a 1 mile walk into Ulverston which has lots of bars and restaurants.

Not recommending to friends!
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Quite clean pitch with full hookup,water and grey waste
Disliked: This site has 5 AA flags, don't know why?
It's a bit confusing with a caravan and motorhome sales at the front with a ice cream shack and what looks like a truckstop cafe.
Female toilets very dark round the back of the block, with a old flush sluice for chemical waste in a dark and dingy dirty right next door.
Burning stuff on the dog run which permeated my van that i thought there was a fire at 0230 bit scary.
5 men started cutting lawns all around me then proceed to spread gravel and use a really noisy roller which scared my dog and i, felt quite intimidated and rushed to get off my pitch.
Definitely not going back or would recommend it.
Quite a few residents with very noisy dogs
