Fabulous site to use as a base to enjoy exploring the lakes from. Lovely staff, good pitches, clean facilities and just a short walk from Lake Windermere and the town of Bowness. Trees were full of wildlife including 3 baby owls, first time seeing one in the wild. Both site and town were very dog friendly, we really enjoyed our 12 night stay.

This is one of our favourite campsites. Spacious and well kept pitches. Nice and clean toilet and shower facilities. Helpful and pleasant staff. The site is ideally positioned for an easy 15 mins walk into Bowness, or, around 30 mins and a slight uphill climb into Windermere town centre.
