Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked: A great little site. Our first visit travelling with a drive away awning. And a success it was. Co op only a 10 min drive away for all needs. When we arrived we took up the offer of the fire pack and it was lovely sitting in the early evening. Again about 10 minute drive into Seascale beach. Parking is free but I guess it would get busy at weekends. Scarfell peak is around 40 minutes drive and was a nice day out but only walked it for 50 minutes and had enough. The site was nice and friendly more than enough toilets and showers. Wash up area near and tidy. On arrival we’re told all that needs to be known for the visit. Staff always on hand and a number if needed. Good sized meadow connected to the camp to walk your dog. Overall a great trip.
Disliked: I personally think a laundrette is needed as we’ve been away and could have done with doing a wash but not the end of the world.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Graham for your lovely review we are in the process of getting a Laundrette sorted so hopefully in the near future we will have this all up and running I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon Kind regards, Rachael

Liked: We liked service at reception, quality of pitch and facilities. Showers have music 24/7 and heaters so on a day when is cold you looking forward for shower. Fridges for customers is great idea.
Disliked: Will be nice to have more shower cabins and could be cleaner.

Liked: Virtually everything. Toilet/showers were well maintained. Campsite was beautiful and loads of animals on the meadow. Pitches were great and I didn't find one stone when putting the pegs into the ground. Staff were friendly and happy to advise, what to do and where to go. Really handy for lots of different towns. Hands down the best campsite I've been to. Really quiet even though the animals let you know its morning, which I personally liked. Shop has a nice selection of items.
Disliked: Electronic gates are off between 10pm-9am and you can't drive to your pitch between those times. However you just park up and walk to the pitch.

Liked: This was out 2nd visit to Shepards view and as our first visit this visit was no different other than amazing upgrades. This site is lovely kept a to a high standard of cleanliness. Members of staff were lovely. I had requested if we could use the same pitch as previously for memories as our visit was for a trip to say our final goodbyes to our recently passed away dog and this request was granted without a 2nd thought which made our trip that extra bit special although if it wasn’t possible I know any pitch we were on would of been just as great. Larges pitches with a fire pit provided which a a great extra touch. Wood and fire starter kit delivered to pitch for a very small fee for the logs (great quality logs as well) toilets and shower facilities were kept clean and mop provided for after shower which ensured safety for ourselves and other guests not to slip on wet floor. Close by to seascale which FYI best fish and chips ever! We even managed to make friends with 2 cats unsure if they were owners or strays but they were super friendly and made us smile. We will 100% be returning
Disliked: The only down fall is signal isn’t the best for devices however this isn’t anything that can be resolved it’s just purely down to area but doesn’t put me off made the time more special (WiFi was available at reception so if ever an emergency and needed to get in touch with a family member could easily pop to receptions)

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, it is very much appreciated. It was lovely to see you both again and we are really pleased you had another enjoyable stay. The cats aren't ours, but it's nice to hear they are friendly. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes, Julie

Liked: Large pitch but on a slant. Washroom/toilets were clean. Campfires are already on the pitches
Disliked: The slant to the pitches and the showers were cold on our last day. No shops nearby and had to travel at least 30mins for anything
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review If you had let us know that the showers where cold on your last day we would have been able to address the situation. In regards to shops near by we have a small shop on site as well as a co op which is in seascale this is 1 mile away from site. I am uncertain on what items you requiered but if you has asked a member of staff we would have been able to point you in the right direction kind regards, Rachael

Liked: Good site, well maintained, friendly, helpful and accommodating. The site is quite secluded out on the coast and not too far from the beach.
Disliked: Unisex toilets, as a man it doesn’t really matter to me but you have to see it from a woman’s perspective.
