Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Really quiet, relaxed vibe. Private river/pond on site. Clean facilities. Lovely owner, very willing to chat and help out. Ability to rent fire pit and buy wood on site. Super close to pub, farm shop/cafe, Wast Water etc.
Disliked: Site got very boggy in heavy rain, even tarmacced ‘drive’ areas got super muddy and wet so parking and access was rough at times.

Will definitely visit again. The kids were completely blown away.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Nice pitch, flat (nothing worse than sleeping on a slope), not too busy so was quiet. Clean facilities, fully equipped (toilet rolls, wipes, plastic bags for nappies etc, soap and washing up liquids and even some pans in a cupboard) Lovely, helpful owner bringing us firewood when needed.
Disliked: Queuing for toilets could become a problem in bad weather but we were lucky this time.

Liked: Lovely relaxed campsite with great views and a short walk from Santon Bridge. The owner is very helpful and ensures that you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The amenities are clean and you can buy firewood and hire a fire pit if required. We would highly recommend and intend visiting again When next in the area
