 We spent 5 nights at the Quite Site and loved every minute of it! We were very lucky as the weather was hot and sunny.
We had a pitch at the top of the site on a terrace overlooking the whole campsite and over to Ullswater!
The pitch size is really good and there is a children’s play area at the bottom of the site. It has easy access and you can park your car close to your tent. There is a small shop open during the day and has essential in there to buy as well as a good selection of meats and other foods, you can even charge our phone in there for a pound! If you want more or a supermarket the closest one is only 3 miles away and is open till 10pm. There is a covered 'campers kitchen' where you can use the fridge and freezer plus a microwave. There is a recommended board with suggested places to eat and explore whilst you are visiting. On check in they also give you 4 popular walks to do from which you can walk out from the site.
The site is extremely clean with lots of shower facilities and 2 baths. I believe these has just been refurbished so everything is new.
There is a small cosy bar on site which is open 7pm-11pm and has entertainment in most evenings and reasonable selection of drinks at good prices. There is also a pub at the bottom of the hill if you fancy some pub grub and a local ale.
You can rent out tepees, caravans and little wooden lodges as well as brining your own tent.
This is one of the best campsites we’ve been to with great facilities and a cracking view of Ullswater. We will definitely be back next year!

I LOVE this site! We stayed here for 5 (very wet and rainy) nights as part of our touring holiday. I had read about this site so many times I just had to try and I wasn't disappointed.
Ullswater is a fabulous location and we had a lovely view from our pitch. It was out first time pitching on pea gravel and I have to say it was fantastic given the rainy weather we experienced!
The toilet block was warm, clean and certainly big enough. There is a covered 'campers kitchen' where you can use the fridge and freezer plus a microwave if you wish. I think there was a also a kettle.
The absolute god-send though is the fantastic bar with it's game room, soft play and welcoming open fire. They sell some lovely real ales in here and on the Sat night we were treated to boogie woogie Will on the piano whilst Sunday night we were entertained with card tricks at the table by a lovely young magician.
Some sheep escaped into the field on our last day there which was memorable!
I certainly can't say enough good things about this site; the kids loved it, the father in law loved it, me and my partner loved it! Happy campers all round and can't wait to go back again.

My wife and I stayed at the Quiet Site this August, I would agree with the reviews on cleanliness and its setting - its great and the area is terraced so there is not problem with you moving down hill when you are asleep. As to the name of the quiet site - this could be changed for the holiday time (the not so quiet site!) but you will get by.

We stayed in a pod and for a 1st camping trip with a 5 yo & a 1 yo it was awesome. We will definitely be back for more than 2 nights next time :)
The site is easier to find than I was led to believe by some reviews and was extremely clean. I would have liked a shower over the bath in the family bathrooms to make it easier to wash the kids and me in one go but generally really impressed by the facilities.
Shop didn't have everything we needed but town was only 15 or so min drive for a large supermarket.
Lots of space for kids and despite the large numbers of children the site was quite quiet! Bar was busy and well priced in my opinion.
My only critism is really for the manufacturers of the pod - a higher up shelf would be ideal for hot dinks when the kiddies are about.

What a gem, lovely facilities and caters for all tastes. Great walks from site but you need to be aware the site is up a hill. There is a bus service but down the hill, we didn't use it but enquired. Can be limiting if you don't have own transport and are not very mobile. The on site bar is fab, full of animal heads and stuffed animals beware if you don't like that kind of thing. We were lucky to have good weather but I am sure the open fire is a delight on cold evenings, the closing times vary depending on how busy they are, and don't forget to buy your bar tea towel, great memento. All the staff are friendly and very helpful.
The dog walking area is fenced in and the dog loved running in the meadow grass and the playing area for children is excellent with their very own fort, lots of fun.
The reed beds are fascinating if you are into that stuff and the whole environmental policy gives you a feel good factor.
We will definitely be coming back, excellent site :)

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
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

Booked this site last minute for a 2 night stay - how I wish I had booked it for longer. Very welcoming site with a small shop stocking the essentials. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Showers and toilet blocks immaculate and although I didn't go on any of the walks there are plenty around. The bar on site is very 'rustic' which is perfect for me and on Saturday night they usually have some form of entertainment, there was a young gentleman performing magic tricks and he was brilliant. I will definitely be booking to stay here again and for longer than 2 nights.

Spent two nights here in an Outwell Montana 6. Didn't expect to be pitching On gravel so didn't have the right pegs. The on site shop sold them for £1 each!
Nice site in a lovely position with view of the lake. Some great walks from the site. Staff very friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers looked quite new and were clean. The pub is handy, it rained so it was nice to be indoors! Kids loved the games room and the play area. Nice big field too for them to play on. The site was very noisy (considering it's name!) and we were woken through the night and very early in the morning by families with very young children.
Enjoyed our stay but wouldn't rush back.

Stayed this weekend with my partner, son and dog. Lovely campsite, very well run and very welcoming. Good mix of people and children for my son to play with. Great dog walking facilities too!
What blew me away was the bar! Totally up my street, with ram skulls and bears, absolutely loved it! There was a young lad doing magic tricks too and he was amazing!
The walk from the site to Aira Force Waterfalls and back was in credible too with a spectacular view of Ullswater.
Only thing that spoilt my stay was our blow up bed deflating and the gravel under the tent meant I didn't sleep properly for both nights but that was our fault!
Will definitely be back!

Stayed for a long weekend, rang and said it would be late when I would be arriving, I was informed to just call at the bar,
Told to go anywhere I wanted,
Site is very relaxed staff always around if needed, small shop on site, toilets very clean showers are FREE,
This site is around 1 mile up a country lane but don't let that put you off this is a well run site very clean with kids play area and lots of walks direct from site.
There was a good mix of old and young campers tourers and statics with some real nice camper vans
Sum it up quality site well run very clean good atmosphere

Stayed for a week toilets showers and baths are good. Site is three miles from nearest village and ten miles from nearest town. Dog friendly site with dog friendly pub but only opens three hours a night. Had to move my caravan and awning forward three yards after two days so they could dig a channel for new pipes with a digger that woke us up at early doors. They did say they would see us ok at the bar but I'm still waiting. I would go back but I would insist on a pitch on the second or third level or near the toilets. Also there is free wifi on this site but only if you are close to the toilet.

Lovely site with great facilities, without being tacky, The shower block is modern and clean although there are only a few showers so get there early! Plenty of hot water and hairdryers in the ladies. The two bathrooms were well appointed- one had a baby bath there for use. The site bar is amazing-really quirky and well worth a visit! Pitches were well spaced and the kids play area kept them all amused. Its a fabulous site in a fabulous area and we will definitely be back. Not a cheap site, but a good site.

WE have been on the Quiet site from March 2014 to the end of February 2015. We have enjoyed our stay on the Quiet Site. There are plenty of toilets and showers. They are cleaned everyday. There are three bathrooms to have a bath. There is play area for the children. A dog walking area to take your dogs. The pub is very nice with a real fire on. The people are all very nice and friendly and make you feel welcome. There are plenty of places to visit around the area. Penrith is not far to go for a walk around the shops.

Helloooo, we are from New Zealand and just finished travelling around England and Wales (over 2 months). Arrived here and were greeted by a warm welcome. We tented for two nights and stayed in the camping pods for two more nights. Tenting was good. The pitches drained well and there was a great view of the valley below. However, some of the pitches were not very level, although, camping in winter we could tent wherever we wanted to. The majority of the pitches are on top of a hill, so when the wind picked up there was no shelter. The facilities were quite a walk from the pitches, but we didn't mind because its such a lovely site to walk around. The camping pods were great. Had a lamp and two heaters so we could get a bit of luxury, but still with the feel of camping. This site is right in the heart of the lakes district, not far from Lake ullswater, windermere, thirlmere. Also not far from Penrith if you need to pop to the supermarket. Great pub on site warm and a comfortable atmosphere.

The not so quiet site. Booked Monday to Thursday and explained to the lady who I booked with that we were so looking forward to relaxing in the old bar by the fire with a few pints. She forgot to tell us that the bar is only open on Fridays and Saturdays? Then on Wednesday night a coach full of 18 year olds turned up and took over the bar/nightclub for a party and blasted the music out til 1am even though this site prides itself on curfew after 10pm. Lovely location but would certainly not return.

Excellent site with great clean facilities, plenty of information available from reception/shop, some lovely walks to be had in the area or drive to other lakes, would definitely return to this site, there is a good laundry area and plenty of sinks for washing up, nice hard standing plots which do really require the heavy duty pegs if putting up an awning.
