Whinfell Hall Farm Campsite

Liked Great campsite wasn’t busy at all, facilities were clean, hot running water for showers. Could not fault the campsite. We came on a Tuesday so could be a different story coming on a weekend. Will definitely come again, thank you.

Disliked Nothing

Liked A lovely campsite bedded at the top of Buttermere valley - with easy access to Keswick and Lorton. It is a non-fussy, proper campsite - you turn up, call the owner who shows you your pitch and you set up camp. Showers, washing facilities, bins are all provided as well as utilities (water and electric hook-ups). Like I said, it's not fussy - so no ridiculous rules so you can relax and enjoy your stay. No wifi but was able to get 4G signal everyday with no drop-out.

Disliked At busy times, we have been twice, once at a busy bank holiday and another over a quiet easter weekday trip, the showers queues could be a problem but to be honest, other campsites are the same with showers. Female showers - my wife said were cold or intermittently warm. This may just be because of how busy the site was.

Liked What a lovely natural and peaceful site whinfell hall farm is, it is in such a beautiful location, which allows you to explore the side of the lakes which is not often hyped up, this is a part of the lakes I feel to be a hidden gem, it’s close to whinlatter pass which is great for numerous activities, cycling being one on some lovely trails, also close by is derwent water and such a great and lovely location that is for all the family like whinlatter. It is still within easy access and not too far from your main Lake District town that a lot will know and love.

Disliked Personally I felt the showers could do with an upgrade on the site but I appreciate this is not the case for everyone and a lot would be happy with what they experienced shower wise on site.
Another would be a better system for emptying toilet waste for campers etc that do have them.

Liked Good camp site for price, washing areas all cleaned down daily. Areas good size. Really good location for walking areas.

Disliked When you arrive there is a number to ring however no one answers- someone already on the camp site helped us out.
People arriving and pitching up well after 11pm- it is just slightly frustrating when someone is so noisy right next to your tent - this then disturbs the dog which disturbs other people, this could be monitored more to an area to pitch up if you are going to be late. This happened two nights.

Liked What I really liked about this campsite was the very relaxed atmosphere. It’s mostly used by families, which made it feel calm and welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful, and the quiet nights with open skies were truly wonderful.

Disliked What I didn’t like, however, was the state of the facilities. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough toilets and showers for the number of people staying on site. The cleanliness and standards of the toilets also need improvement, as they feel outdated and in need of refurbishment. In addition, hygiene levels are quite low, and the facilities should really be cleaned more frequently—not just once a day.

Liked Lovely location. The wash up facilities and toilets were conveniently located near to the main pitches.

Disliked I thought that the owner was fairly unhelpful when we spoke to them about where to pitch, didn't give any information about the pitches and we had to ask where things were. Seemed quite overcrowded with some pitches, especially for the smaller tents, being very close together. For the size of the campsite, I thought the toilets/shower numbers were on the small size.

Liked Not much to be honest

Toilets was very dirty didnt even bother with a shower as they looked minging
Was put on a pitch full of big stones so couldnt peg my tent out properly

Liked Location is beautiful

Disliked Felt very cramped. Toilets and washing facilities need upgrading. A refuse bin would have been helpful

Liked We thought the location was perfect and the drive to the campsite was stunning. Other members of the public were very respectful and the facilities were perfect for what we needed.
