Liked: The campsite was clean, tidy and well spaced. The local area was beautiful. Really easy access to hikes/walks and the lake was only a 2 minutes walk away. The portaloos were maintained daily and were in a fine state. Both owners made a point of coming round and checking everything was okay and offered advice for things to do locally.

Liked: Gorgeous location, friendly farmer who took his time to come and introduce himself to us! So much space for cars and tents, so close to a little stream and the Wast Water Lake, perfect for swimming! The route around Wast Water stretching right from the camp and makes a fantastic hike, beautiful views of Scafell Pike and other surrounding mountains. It was a gorgeous weekend, thank you!!
Disliked: Almost nothing! - My only niggle would be that portaloos were a bit grim, but children that were staying there purposely clogged them up to make it unclean for the rest of us! Other toilets were close by though in local pubs in order to use!
