After visiting on a recommendation from a friend, we were pleasently surprised at the whole experience. The facilities are great, nice hot shower which takes 20p and I had to turn off (not wanting to drain the water for everyone). I must have been in there for 15 good minutes.
The staff were very friendly and helpful which always makes little breaks feel special.
One policy of 'no loud noises after 11' wasn't fully policed, however as the general atmosphere was so friendly it didn't bother our party.
We made our way into Keswick, and what a lovely place. Great ales, nice food as friendly folk that even Duncan Bantertyne could enjoy.
Getting a taxi home was easy as we waited around 5 mins, then bosh. 1 right away.
The only negative would be being awoken in the early hours be a young man vomiting near the tent. I fear he had a little too much to drink the night before.
The camp was quiet, clean and well laid out, facilities were more than adequate. Campers had use of many household gadgets including washing machine with microwave and toaster on hand, the showers were hot and toilets cleaned daily.
The locality provided us with a realm of walks and the scenery was breathtaking.
Our dogs were welcome but had to be kept on leads at all times as livestock in nearby fields and in the adjoining farm.
Plenty of room for the children to play.
There was an excellent pub not too far away which served amazing food.
My only criticism, that a farm shop for provisions would be useful.
I will certainly be returning and will definitely recommend High Bridge End Farm.
Stayed for one night in October. Myself and my son were made very welcome. Lovely site in a great location, first stayed there over forty years ago and the place still has the same friendly welcome.
Great walks and views all around. Even though the weather was terrible, the scenery did not disappoint, especially the waterfalls.
Site facilities are basic, but very clean. Nice powerful showers, which is a blessing after a long walk.
Been to this site a few times, both just me and the wife, and with the kids. Brilliant little site for that relaxing escape. Set across the road from the farm, but does not disturb, either with noise or smells, with a hilly area to the back where tents can pitch well it TFS way of anything for that 'wild camping' feel.
Also a little rope swing for the kids. Only a few minutes drive from Keswick town centre. Has shower and toilet facilities and although I use caravan facilities, my wife tends to use on site facilities and had no issues with them. There are various cycle routes too.
Ideal site for those wanting a quiet break away, cyclists, walkers, tenters and caravans exist in harmony.
Process are very reasonable, we paid around £15/night with 4 kids and hook up. Might have been slightly less.
As I said we've been a few times and will continue to do so.
Only down fall is signal is non existent, for TV (standard aerial not satellite - we don't have a satellite but others had theirs up) or phones. Not faulting the site at all, but just be aware if you usually promise someone you'll let them know you've arrived safely or taking grand children and want to phone mum and dad etc etc, you probably won't be able to on site
Stayed 8 nights in mid August, thought this was a great site and location. Very relaxed place, lovely owner and cheap - £88 for 4 with electric.
No issues at all with the showers and toilets, have seen a lot worse. When it got busy we were a bit crammed in, very close to neighbours which was fine except one night when they had friends stay which was late and noisy.
Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.
Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here
Recently returned from High Bridge End Farm and some glorious weather as well!
We received a friendly welcome and had pre-booked a pitch with electric. When we arrived on the Friday afternoon, we had to tightly squeeze our not so large tent between 2 caravans. Not ideal at all and thankfully our 'very close' neighbours were quiet.
As the weekend went on, the site became packed, especially with a noisy crowd in the middle of this small site. The tents and other units were just crammed onto the site, far too many for comfort.
The toilet and wash up block was clean and functional with hot showers, fairly basic but OK.
There's very little else to report on for this site, as it is very small. There are some good nearby walks and Keswick is about 6 miles away.
All in all a clean and basic site with electric pitches that we would re-visit, but avoid busy holiday periods like the plague.
We have been a number of times to this site and always left with a smile on our faces. The owner, Sylvia? lovely women who has a memory like an elephant. Always remembers my wife and family and greats us every time so if you stay make sure you behave if you plan a return trip!
Stayed this year for five nights for £25 all in (my son and I, wife was working). Showers clean/functional but busy so plan your showers before everyone else. Make sure you have 20pences for the shower. Just round the corner for Keswick, Helvelyn ( a brilliant hill walk)! and all other tourist attractions.
Very friendly owner, pitch where you like, very laid back.
Toilets/showers as previously mentioned are spotless but certainly no home from home, very functional but they do everything you need so nothing to complain about.
We couldn't find a local shop so ended up in Keswick at the co-op for supplies they operate a disc system for parking (similar to disabled discs where you show your arrival time). The discs are available inside the shop.
We gave our dog a run in a morning on the field behind the statics where there was no livestock so she could have a mad run about. Obviously it being the lake district there are no end of options for further walks, but if your dog is like ours (mental until that first run) you might need the space.
Super little site, especially for 4pounds per adult per night! Went with our toddler, dog and another couple - had 2 tents and a gazebo and paid only £16 per night in total - toddler, dog and gazebo were free so amazing value esp given keswick is only a short drive away and the spectacular scenery. We had a super time despite the typical lakes rainy weather (and gales etc!).
Site actually felt relatively sheltered from worst of the winds due to the surrounding hills. Ground was hard from about a few inches down which wasn't great considering we'd forgotten our mallet but would have been fine if had it. Ground was a bit muddy but the whole week before our arrival was v wet too so to be expected.
Facilities are basic but clean and shower was nice and hot so didn't disappoint for the 20p we paid. Not all loos had loo roll in so recommend taking your own. I did notice a handy plug socket or two in the loos too so you could plug in your own hair drier or straighteners if you needed too.
There's 2 inside washing up sinks and 2 outside ones and (we discovered just as we were leaving) a handy little room with a kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge/freezer and clothes airer in that I thought was really great.
The lady I spoke when I phoned ahead who was one of the owners was lovely and said just to pitch up when we arrived and she popped over to collect the money in the evening. She was really friendly though did think we were a bit loopy camping in such bad weather!
Its not a luxury site but I'm not a lover of all singing and dancing sites anyway so if like us you like basic chilled camping with amazing scenery you'll like this place.
Shall definitely return when we next go to the lakes.
This is great for tents, and (I think) should not be for caravans. The site is one big hill which, when you get to the top, affords spectacular views.
The owners are great and unusually relaxed for the Lakes. Facilities are very basic, which enhances the place. If you want to bring a smallish tent, camp in the hills, have a fire and relax with no shop or noise, then this is for you. Brilliant.
