“First Night Under Canvas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

I really don't do tents!! I want a bed and a shower. Ok so I gave it a go, but for one night only. We arrived at the campsite and met up with friends at about 4pm it was raining. We pitched the tent next to the river that flows along the side of the campsite. We then set off to the pub, that is directly oppisite, The Bridge End. It was full because yes it was still raining. we got a table for 5 and the dog very easily and our food arrived quickly.
Back at the campsite there was a very clean shower and toilet block, I was impressed. also a washing machine and dryer, I'm sure if we had been staying longer I would have needed to use them as the rain didn't stop. Next day (no rain) we went of to Wastwater, which is only 3 miles up the road. Spectacular!! a must if your staying here.
So will I do it again? YES but with a bigger and dryer tent not the £20 special my boyfriend bought!!

“Fabulous campsite! Great location and superb facilities!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

Very welcoming campsite at a great price. Lovely spot right next to the river. Lovely pub about 30 seconds walk away serving delicious food and they also offer breakfast. Owner and his dog George were a nice surprise - infact we couldn't get rid of George after we made the mistake of throwing his ball once for him!

“Lovely site in lovely area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010

This site is lovely and in a very pretty location next to the river. It is well kept and the toilets and showers were very clean. Gareth who manages the site and his dog George were very friendly and welcoming. (Thanks to Gareth's sister and her 2 friends who were visiting for the weekend for keeping me company on Sat night) The only critiscm was the hairdryer in the ladies which was neither use or ornament, and there was nowhere to plug in your own. However it wouldn't put me off staying there again.
We can definately recommend The Woodlands tea room which is about a 5 min walk from the site - the cakes there are delicious!

Site pleasant, riverside location, tranquil, although facilties basic, toilet block very basic, no hair drying facility and in need of updating; showers expensive at £1 a go. Miles away from any shops facillties etc. nearest at Gosforth 5 miles away. Good pub next door, excellent food ( regulary local celebrity Eric Robson!!!!)
beware of the goat.

“Ideal for walking, not particularly welcoming”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2008

person found this review helpful

Campsite small but adequate, person meeting us could have been more friendly, felt like we were viewed as pound signs. Wanted cash or cheque - no cards.....Facilities basic but adequate, not impressed at having to pay an extra pound for a shower on top of the booking fees.
Saving grace was the fabulous pub next door, the Bridge Inn. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and accomodating. Ideal for walking Scafell Pike.
