 Great little site- Owners extremely helpful and friendly.

Great walking area- Dufton Pike, High Cup Nick and woodland walks direct from the site.

One quibble- and one only- there is only one shower cubical in each facility which is serving 20 or so pitches- we were there late season so it was quiet and therefore not a problem but I imagine if the site was full it could be an issue.

Overall excellent !

 We stayed for one night (on Bank Holiday weekend) on the overflow campsite. The views are stunning!

Only one unisex toilet on the site but that wasn't a problem.

The owners were more than helpful and the pub, a 5 minute walk away, was brilliant.

I can't rate the site highly enough! An amazing place!

 Excellent location if you wish to climb up to magnificent High Cup Nick. And there are plenty of other hills to climb.

Small peaceful village in a truly wonderful area.

The owners are extremely friendly.

 This is a great site. The host was really friendly and helpful.

They had all the required social-distancing measures in place and was really well organised.

The shower was one of the best I've had at a campsite.

The only down-side was that there was no shop open for supplies in the local area. 


Date of Visit: August 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: BeachDog 30 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 2 nights en route to Scotland in campervan with electric. Friendly, clean site, mainly 'static tourers' with touring pitches set within a lovely village with stunning views of the fells.

Great pub, The Stag Inn, with good food, real ales/ciders. There's also a shop/cafe in the village but didn't visit. Ideal location for fell walking, particularly High Cup Nick.

Would be good for families, safe site with a playground next door. Seemed popular with backpackers walking the Penine Way.

Would definitely return for use as a base for exploring the fells.

 To start with, Dutton is beautiful, the Stagg Inn is a fantastic place for a meal and a good beer, and in the morning the Postbox Pantry is amazing for a big hearty breakfast.

I went to Dutton for a walking weekend, and could not have enjoyed myself more than I could have every hoped for.

The site is THE BEST, right in the heart of Dufton, it was neat clean and so friendly.

Every time I visit a site I dream of being able to own one of my own, making it a great place to stay and a great experience for the guests.

Grandie is probably the closest to that ideal I have been to. Everything about it is just right !

If you are looking at Lakes for a good place to stay, this is quite simply IDEAL.

Thanks Julie and if you ever want to sell let me know ! :)

 This small site is primarily given over to caravans but there are some pitches for tourers. Pitches are terraced and all level, hard standing with water points at pitches.

Facilities are basic but kept clean and I was pleased to see that the site actively encourages recycling. Along with the vans there is a small, steady stream of tired Pennine Way walkers.

The site owners are very helpful; while I was chatting to him Julie turned up with super glue so that a Dutch hiker could repair his water purification device. He had nothing but praise for the site and people in the village who had also helped him out.

Let's face it: it's the small courtesies and favours that make it all worthwhile.

No hesitations in recommending this site. Well-placed for some great day walks which is what I was doing.

 Stayed last weekend at Grandie with the family. The site has new owners, Julie and Mike. Fantastic people. Cracking place, well looked after. New toilet block and shower facilities.

Very clean, powerful shower with plenty of hot water. Great place for walking, relaxing. Individual electrical and water point on every pitch.

The Stag Inn is only a few minutes walk. Great food, great beer. Playground next to site for kiddies. We've already booked to go back again.

Definitely well worth a visit.

 Dufton is a lovely little village and this campsite is right in the village, so superb location. Aite is fairly small and you are fairly close to your neighbour, but fine for a weekend.

1 shower in ladies which is ok, not easy drying and getting dressed as floor gets wet. Toilets and shower were fairly basic but ok. Very friendly manager.

Pub in village does great food and dogs are allowed in bar area. A must do walk is up to High Cup Nick - it is well worth the effort.

Reviewer: JOHNANDRACH 6 reviews from this member

 My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights at the start of the school holidays. It was in a great location at the foot of the hills and 2 minutes from the village green, pub, café and shop.

The sight caters mainly for caravans and motorhomes but uses the smaller grassy areas for a few tents. It was very quiet as most caravans were unoccupied - we therefore had the very good showers to ourselves! We did the walk up High Cup from the site which was superb and then travelled to other good walks nearby that included Ullswater-about 45 mins drive.

The owner in the bungalow over the road allowed us to use her freezer in her garage for ice packs. We highly recommend this site.
