First time using this site and was very impressed. There was four of us, and we stayed over a weekend.
THE CAMPSITE: Mostly caravans, though there is a semi-sheltered field for tent campers. Friendly atmosphere - the kids made new friends on the first night.
STAFF: The staff were so friendly and helpful, even offering to carry one of our rucksacks up a steepish hill to our camping spot.
FACILITIES: The toilets, showers and washing up rooms were clean & well maintained. The reception is also the shop, though it only sells the very basics. It opens a couple of hours a day (morning and teatime).
THE AREA: Great location, especially if you don't drive. Site is near the main train station (no trains run on a Sunday). Lots of nice seaside villages and towns on the mainline to explore. Nearest supermarket is Tescos in Whitehaven 20 minutes train journey. Eskdale is about 9 miles away, and can be reached by the Ratty (mini steam train). Muncaster Castle is nearby too. Ravenglass itself has an estuary type beach to explore. There are a couple of pubs in the village - we ate some lovely meals at the Ratty Arms.
BEST BITS: Friendly campsite, good location to explore the Lakes even if you don't drive.
WORST BITS: no local little shops to top up essential supplies if you don't drive.
RECOMMEND TO OTHERS? Yes! Definitely recommended!

I was glad to get a pitch here as it was a summer holiday Friday night and I'd had to ring round a bit to get somewhere to stay. The bloke in charge was helpful and patient. I didn't like to look of the tent site at the top, it was a long way to the facilities, the grass was churned up and there was a noisy family (I usually don't mind kids around, so maybe I was just tired & grumpy). However the staff didn't mind me pitching among the trees, so that was fine.
The facilities were up to the usual standard of Camping and Caravanning club sites, and as a non-member I was charged a fee which was more than I usually pay but I feel it was still reasonable. After staying at smaller tent-only sites I missed the chatting with other campers.
It was a useful stop-over but if I went up there again I've found a different site I'd like to try.

We stayed here in July. Beautiful campsite, toilet facilities were very clean and showers were fantastic. Lovely area, very quiet village.
Only concern was the lack of play area for children and found that some campers were not tolerant of children at all. Our child was told off for by another camper within an hour of arriving for riding his scooter around the toilet area.
Would not recommend coming to this site if you have children as it more suited for older campers without children.

Had a wonderful time at this site. We were welcomed warmly and offered help to pitch. The pitches are allocated and we favoured ours, had a good view. It is true, some are on steep slopes and less attractive but we personally adapt easily, so this will not put us off.
I read reviews on this site prior to going and found them helpful. We did not have any problems at all with the facilities ie. only 2 showers. It was very clean, new and bright. The site shop is good but it is best to arrive well stocked up with food. The site location is perfect and we really enjoyed the many attractions close by.
In particular the little Ratty railway. If you like village pubs, as we do with real ales, the train takes you to many. Ask the locals and the site warden and it is all so very easy and nice to leave the car behind.
We found the Holly House Hotel was brilliant,in Ravenglass, welcoming and great ale.
The journey was a little daunting, after leaving the M6 at Junction 36, and we are used to towing. Going home was easier somehow knowing what to expect. We will return maybe next year, but the journey I think will stop this site being one we go to regularly, which is a shame because it is so lovely.
It took us about 2 hours and 20mins but 1 hour 20 was off the motorway on the very very winding road. Easy to find, signposts good.

Lovely site in a beautiful location. The facilities were fine and a nice, well stocked shop with local produce. We took a rail trip to Carlisle which was very nice even though the weather was awful.
The village is very small and the shop was poor. I would recommend the site for its location to the Lake District. The small steam rail trip was expensive.

Fabulous site! The site is in a beautiful setting and top field, where the tents are mainly pitched, is in an excellent spot for appreciating how beautiful Cumbria is. Great little helpful options of picnic benches and rotary washing lines really impressive.
Toilet blocks spotless. And barely a rule in sight! Everyone on site appeared to know about respect for owners and other guests so no rules at every corner required. Wonderful breath of fresh air. Ravenglass itself is stunning.
Would highly recommend the Holly House Inn and the tea rooms next door. Would highly recommend Avoiding Ratty Arms - poor service (felt like we were inconveniencing staff by wanting to spend our money there) and poor quality food. Top marks to campsite, will definitely return.
