We have just returned from this site, it's in a great location 10 minute walk into the village of Hawkshead with its quaint shops, cafes and pubs that do meals.
The pitches are hardstanding large enough for caravan, awning and your car at the front with water, waste grey water and tv point on the ehu point. The facility block is immaculate with showers, toilets and wash basins and fully heated, fab site which we will be returning to.
Can't comment on child friendly but it looks to be ok.
This was our first time taking our new caravan away for a week and we couldn’t have picked a better site. Superb toilet, shower and washing up facilities, although when it was 24 degrees out the showers were a bit on the hot side! Hairdryers and plugs sockets were available. Didn’t queue all week for one of the 4 showers and the site was full most of the time although it didn’t feel crowded.
We pitched on the far side away from the toilet block and had a lovely view of the fells, although to be honest if you chose any pitch you’d have a wonderful view! You pick your own pitch upon arrival after checking in. Very quiet after dark but the cows and sheep were pretty rowdy at feeding time!
If I could’ve added one thing it would have been a small shop for basics although the milkman did call every morning.
Beautiful weather helped but this site is a gem and we will definitely be returning.
Amazingly clean site. Receptionist very friendly. Immaculate toilet/ showers which are free. Great washing up facilities in a proper room and free wifi in a large clean TV room. Lovely walks from the site.
Hawkshead only a short safe off road walk away with four pubs and a co op. Would highly recommend and would definitely use this site again
We spent 3 nights at this 'hidden gem' of a campsite. Originally trying to get into Ambleside sites but without success, headed for Hawkshead and on route found this site. We stopped at the reception to a lovely friendly welcome booked a pitch for 2 nights then decided to stay for 3rd. An open field site with areas for m/homes, tents/
Caravans some with EHU and water taps. It is a 10 min walk along a good footpath to Hawkshead for a choice of 'foody' pubs, gift shops & the COOP.
The on site facilities are 1st class with excellent toilets/showers and loads of hot water. There is a TV room where FREE WIFI is available. Buses to Ambleside/Coniston/Windemere pass the farm gate frequently. A really great friendly site. We would return here again.
We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of a 5 week campervan tour of the Lakes, Arran, Scotland and the Lakes (again). What a fabulous camp site! And, at £19. 50 a night for a large pitch with electric hook up, and free showers, a real bargain. But, for us, the real bonuses were the views, the dog walking options, the network of cycle paths (must take my bike next time) the cleanliness, the facilities, the free wifi, the comfy lounge and the location.
So, addressing each in order:-
The views - Latterbarrow to the east, the Coniston fells to the west and fields of sheep in the immediate surroundings.
The dog walking options were endless thanks, largely, to the new (?) cycle paths. We stayed 5 nights and our dog is walked every morning and evening. Yet, I don't think he did exactly the same walk twice. Not to mention the stream to drink from and paddle in.
The cycle paths seem to be very extensive - I have looked, in vain, for a map of the routes but it seems that a lot of money has been invested in laying trails all over the Langdale, Ambleside and Hawkshead area since we stayed in this area 5 years ago.
The cleanliness of this site is A1 - the shower cubicles have a curtain which, love them or hate them, keeps your clothes dry on the stool or hanger whilst you splash til your hearts content. Normally I hate them because they cling to you just as they have clung to countless other naked bodies for months (or years?). Not at Hawkshead! During our 5 night stay the shower curtains were changed at least 3 times.
The facilities were more than adequate (plenty of showers, basins and loos for the size of the site) and it was lovely to be able wash the pots indoors, rather that just under an invariably wet, windy, grubby canopy. This room - 4 sinks plus drainer, I think - was spotlessly clean. There was an adjacent laundry room which I didn't enter so I can't comment on that.
Free wifi is always a bonus! But, I could only get a connection inside the TV room or just outside, not on the pitches. But that's a minor detail, especially when the TV room is warm and cosy with comfy sofas.
The location, for us, has always been a bit too far south as we've spent the last 20 years climbing, and staying close to, the 214 Wainwrights. If that isn't of interest to you, this site is in a great location because it has the aforementioned cycle trails for walking, as well as a myriad of footpaths and bridle ways on the doorstep; it is a 10 minute drive from lovely Ambleside with its pretty park, outdoor shops, chip shop, great pubs and other eateries; it is a 10 minute walk into Hawkshead which has some good eateries and pubs; and it is a 10 minute drive to lovely Elterwater and on into stunning Great Langdale. Not to mention Hill Top, Wray Castle, Coniston and Grizedale Forest. All of which are nearby, as is the ferry across Windermere. A bus service passes the gate although I'm not sure where it goes.
A delivery man comes around the site every morning in his van and blows his horn so there's no excuse for missing breakfast - he sells milk, eggs, yogurt and much more.
In summary, we liked this site so much that we hope to go back with the caravan (and bicycles!) for 4 weeks next year. Now that we've almost finished the Wainwrights we hope to relax and enjoy this beautiful area from the comfort of a first class site.
Lovely campsite in pretty valley, only a few minutes walk from Hawkshead village along a footpath away from the road, where there is a small supermarket open 7am-10pm every day, several nice pubs and cafes and some history.
The site has very nice, clean shower facilities, covered washing-up area with plenty of hot water and a laundry room with one washing machine and dryer. The main field wasn't crowded and another large field was opened to cater for extra campers at the weekends.
We had terrible weather for much of our stay and our pitch (with hookup) was water-logged but I think this was exceptional. This was one of the first 2 pitches on the left as you drive onto the site so be aware. Also, a boot drying room would be very useful.
No play area for children but plenty of space for games. Despite the wet, we would happily use the site again.
Lovely site, well spaced out pitches, toilets and showers are really good and kept very clean, 4 showers and plenty of sinks. Have 4 wash up sinks, 2 washers and a tumble dryer, had a problem with the washer not spinning and the owners were happy to help and reset the machine so the clothes could be spun properly, we didn't use the dryer as it was lovely and warm.
To walk into town is on the side of the road with no path so when roads were busy had to stop a few times as didn't feel comfortable until traffic passed. There is a pay and display car park in the village which is a little expensive but handy for the town, a local cooperative is there for all you basics and much more.
Well. I don't want to moan too much, but on arriving the lady didn't answer the door bell, after 10mins and plenty more ringing, she finally opened up, as we only wanted to stay the one night, you could tell that was not good enough for her, . After some time she said she has got just one space left, but on moving onto it there was enough room for two plus they each had EHU. The toilet block was very clean, but when I had a nice hot long shower, the lights went out and I had to wait for someone to come in and use the loo or shower, as the lights were on sensors. NOT impressed.
That night we were inundated with flies, don't know what we were near, but there were loads. My electronic bat worked overtime that night, and even as we were driving the next day, we still had flies buzzing around. It was not us, as we never suffered from them again all holiday away from there.
Going passed there on our way out of the lakes later on that evening, we noticed that the two places we had were still vacant. Need I say more
