We just spent a few days camping here and overall had a really positive experience. Positives The Location - Just off the A66 but tucked away on a quiet stretch of road so its very easy to find but feels nicely secluded. You are surrounded by huge fells with Blencathra towering over the site. Waking up to breath taking views... More

Spent one night in a camping pod during a cycling tour of the Lake District - a lovely, well maintained campsite. Site is well designed and staff are very helpful - would recommend. The addition of the camping matresses were a welcome site - very comfortable.

The communal showers and toilets were good. The communal kitchen, living... More
