Great location, basic facilities, but that’s what camping is about.

Liked: It was a well maintained site with beautiful views. A man came round giving out bin bags and then back to collect when they were full. He also sold wood and provided us with a fire pit. There was no charge for the fire pit. They are building a new toilet/shower block to improve facilities more. Excellent - we will definitely be back.

Liked: The campsite is situated in a beautiful place, very close to a river and its fields are well looked after. The owners and staff are amazingly kind, relaxed and helpful. My kids loved to feed the lambs and play with them. This campsite is very simple which allows you to connect with nature even better. We are allowed to make fire and the campsite provides lots and the fire pits as well. The highlight for my family was the opportunity to ride horses and ponies for the first time. My kids absolutely loved it. This campsite has a barn with some toys, a pool table and serves drinks and food (some times). We haven't tried the food as we were always out and used the campsite only to sleep. You can stay in a quieter area or you can choose the wood field if you like to stay up late. There are 2 shower units closer to the barn and you pay £3 per shower. It is very simple but it works. There is a sink with water in the middle of the first field where you can do your washing up. The campsite is about 1h away from windermere lake and allows you to book only for a night. We stayed there for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it.
Disliked: The only downside for me is that there is no way of telling if a pitch is taken in case you have a campervan or a motorhome and use it to travel whilst staying at the campsite. If you don't leave anything behind like we did (camping chairs and table to secure our place) it will be very certain that when you come back, your pitch has been taken by other campers. Apart from that we loved everything!

Liked: Lovely pitches, lots of space. Loved the barn with music, bar and things for children to do. The animals and horse riding really was an added bonus. The toilets, portaloos and showers were always very clean. Showers were hot and had plenty of space so much easier for showering the kids off. Staff where all so friendly and ensured everyone was enjoying themselves and that the children where entertained. Logs brought to the pitch. Can’t wait to go back again.

Liked: View was nice and despite failings the people were friendly.
Disliked: Pitches we're not great as the field started to bog up a bit. Horses got free and we're running loose at half 5 in the morning.. Dangerous!. I bought some wood online a tenner a bag... They were £8 onsite, also asked for a fire pit and it never came! Left early as the site just wasn't finished. Sedbergh is a nice little village and the cafe does a great breakfast unlike the site which at 8:40 in the morning wasn't even looking like starting breakfast when the guy said they would be. Oh and the barn pub didn't have pumps and just had a variety of bottle and cans. Bottle of 330ml Stella was £2 which can't be sniffed at but I saw pumps on a picture and it was a bit of a let down, music was playing which was good.. no live music which we kinda hoped for. Thing is the site has great potential but not enough showers and they could do with cleaning the toilets more frequently. Oh and I don't think anyone checks who you are no one asked who I was or did any checks.

From the manager: Thank you, There were 300 people on site over the weekend, and the vast majority were return customers who reported having a great weekend. It rained for 2 days on a busy weekend, the entrance to the field got a little muddy. Out of 135 cars and campervans on site all weekend - none got stuck and required towing out. The vast majority of campers commented on how hot the (free) showers were, but a couple came and spoke to us when they couldn't figure out why they were cold and we explained how to use the tap/mixer valve in the shower to get the temperature they preferred after the person before them had left it set to cold. Breakfast on bank holiday weekends is served from 0900-1030hrs. There were signs around the site and our team routinely reiterate meal timings to everyone. 2 people called us on Saturday morning at 0530hrs (not you) and told us that there were 3 of our neighbours horses in the camp site. We'd checked the perimeter that evening during our final walk around to check noise and the gate was secure, but at some time in the early hours a camper has seen fit to remove the chain securing the gate and leave the gate open. The horses were returned to their field and the gate secured by 0540hrs. We never advertised live music or draught beer for this weekend. The reason we didn't was because occupancy in the May Bank Holidays is always relatively low, therefore we'd have to increase costs to make it viable and it would be unfair on the campers who didn't want live music. On the campsite we did notify campers that there was live music at the Bull Hotel on Sunday afternoon and many campers enjoyed it. When visitor footfall is modest, we also don't want to compete with businesses in the town who are battling for viability, we want to support them. Finally, toilet cleanliness. We check and clean the toilets every 2 hours. We can't be responsible for whoever used them immediately before you, but overall this weekend our team commented on how clean the campers managed the toilets, especially given the rain. I accept that we'll never satisfy everyone who visits our campsite. Our team work really hard to introduce children and families to farm animals, the countryside, freedom of open space and to keep costs as low as practically possible. That'll never change. If campers are looking for a site in straight lines with concrete roads and rules for every last detail - that isn't us. Sincerely, Brian
Was a great stay, had excellent facilities — would definitely go back.
