Set in the stunning Lake District, this campsite offers a peaceful escape with breathtaking mountain views, especially of Scafell Pike. The spacious, flat field provides plenty of room for tents and is maintained to a high standard. Facilities are thoughtfully designed and kept spotless, featuring proper flushing toilets, reliably hot showers, a drying area, and a dishwashing station. The owner is consistently praised for being welcoming, attentive, and generous with local advice on hikes, pubs, and attractions. Free fire pits are available for borrowing, and firewood and fresh eggs can be purchased on an honesty basis, adding a local flavor to your stay. A nearby pub, just a short walk away, serves excellent food and drinks, while the location is ideal for exploring Scafell Pike, Wasdale, Eskdale, and the coast. The site enforces quiet hours after 10pm, ensuring a restful night for most guests. Dogs are welcome on leads, and children enjoy the open space and friendly chickens in neighboring fields. WiFi is available but can be patchy in some areas, and mobile signal is limited, though a phone charging point is provided. Minor critiques mention that the field can become waterlogged after heavy rain and that pitches can feel close together during busy periods, but quiet hours help maintain a respectful atmosphere. Overall, this campsite blends rustic charm with modern comforts, run by a host who goes above and beyond to make every stay memorable. The site features flat, spacious grass pitches that are easy to peg into, with a pick-your-own-pitch policy that adds flexibility for guests. A covered social shelter is perfect for drying gear or escaping the weather. Excellent value for money, this campsite is highly recommended for walkers, families, and anyone seeking a relaxing break in nature. The atmosphere is generally peaceful and respectful after 10pm, though it can get busier on weekends with occasional noise from larger groups. One minor downside is the lack of proper recycling bins, as a single skip is used and can attract seagulls.
