What visitors say
Lovely campsite. Off the beaten track, but well worth it. Clean facilities, showers, toilets, and dishwashing facilities are all neat and well looked after. Loads of space for tents and caravans. A good mix of traditional camping spots and wilder camping spots. There was a lovely mix of families, young adults, and older adults all camping together comfortably. There is no noise after 10 pm, which is just perfect for me. It was so lovely to be surrounded by the sheep and horses of the farm. Don't worry, the campsite itself is gated, with no loose animals around the tents. Well priced, and well loved. Would highly recommend, and will return on future visits to the Lakes

Loved our stay here. It's set in gorgeous rural countryside but is only a short drive to many of the attractions. Still, it was great to be out in the countryside where there was little phone signal and no noise. It's very very calm and peaceful. The facilities provided were great and included toilets, showers, laundry facilities and a fridge. Will definitely be returning

Beautiful peaceful campsite. Facilities are kept clean but are basic (as you'd expect from a farm campsite). Toilets, showers, waste disposal, washing up sink and fridge freezer for campers to use. Curfew of noise which is very welcome so great for a quiet night in the countryside. Would highly recommend this campsite.
