Date of Visit: May 2022 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 A superb site in every way offering large pitches and a clean/modern toilet block with a 15 min downhill walk to Pooley bridge though a steep walk back to the touring area.

Was quiet at night with no noise issues and thought the lighting ok at night.

Didn't like the pubs much in Pooley bridge seemed a bit too foodie and a touch unfriendly. A good bus service from the village going to Penrith one way or Windermere the other.

Caught the weekend open top bus which was a great way to enjoy views of Ullswater.

 Fantastic site and we will definitely be back. The only thing we found was that it was not well lit at night.

We unfortunately arrived in the dark due to the AA being rubbish, and it was difficult to find out pitch in the dark-they defo need more lighting to light up the pitch numbers,

But other than that-we loved it and so did our little doggy!

It would have been 10/10 were it not for the lighting issue.

 This site never disappoints, some changes made to touring field which are an improvement (for caravanners), as they are adding more fully serviced pitches.

The toilet and shower facilities are 5* and there is a friendly feel on the site.

There is a 10-15 minute walk into Pooley Bridge with plenty of places to eat and drink.

All in all a fantastic base to holiday from.

 Great campsite for families and couples. Not far from pooley bridge.

Pitches were spacious. Lovely views from our pitch and the best showers and toilets kept immaculately clean by Maggie and John.

Can't wait to return Jan&Ian

Reviewer: Hynes1 16 reviews from this member

 Can’t recommend enough. I travelled bikepacking solo and it was brilliant. Put on top field with incredible views.

Pooley bridge really close for pubs and shopping. Walks and cycle trails right from the site.

Lovely staff. Ultra clean and organised blocks.

Exactly what I needed thank you.

 Fantastic site. Well laid out. Facilities excellent. Cleanest site I have ever been on.

Only 5 min walk into Pooley Bridge.

You can even buy a take away breakfast if you don't want to cook.

Will definitely be back

Reviewer: Pasopton 7 reviews from this member

 1st visit to this site as restrictions were eased slightly. Sadly the Toilet blocks were not permitted to be used but looked to be of high quality.

Although they occupy a premium position, closest to the village in a popular area, I feel it was rather expensive with no reduction for this restriction. Hence the effect on my scoring

When booking initially the communications, advice & assistance was very good.

Reviewer: Seasidewill 1 review from this member

 Good points: good sanitation block, spacious pitches, short walk to Pooley Bridge

Bad points: Attracts lots of large groups at weekends in tents & pods. Loud shouting and screaming until late. Camping field sloping and muddy. Cars parked all over the place. Poor access to water tap for motorhome unless you pay for a superior pitch.
