 Sadly we could not book our 5 nights at The Croft, so settled, as the only real alternative to be in Hawkshead, we booked the Hawkshead Hall Farm site. We were far from disappointed, and this is despite the weather on arrival on the 5th, and our departure on the 10th.
The reception on arrival was welcoming, friendly and useful. The toilet block and washing-up area were superlative, and for the first time on any site, we had access 24/7 to our cold blocks for the cool box. A small, but important point.
A less than 10 minute walk via the path or across the field to the village, this site equals The Croft, despite the immediate access to the village. Yet not an issue when we drove (all of a few minutes due to having an elderly dog) as we were allowed to park at The Croft cottages - a mere minute from the village.
There is no shop, but why? When the excellent Co-Op in the village is nearby, or Ambleside, Windermere and Bowness are so near.
Our youngest daughters first experience of camping was at The Croft 5 years ago, we have been back since but she now prefers Hawkshead Hall Farm, and we have to agree with her!

Most expensive site I have ever used. £16. 50 for one night one person small tent. Facilities were very good but not justified in price. Will give this site a miss.
What's the plus points. Easy walking distance into Hawkshead and close to Grizedale forest.
Very clean newly built large toilet blocks. Compared with similar sites for £9 per night its too expensive.

A great campsite, a few rolling hillsides but we found enough flat space for our ten with no problems. It was pitch where you like and great views into woodland with a few baaing sheep at night/early morning!
Lovely, immaculate shower and toilet block, fully stocked with soap and hand driers. Plus electric points for hair dryers or phone chargers. Showers weren't very powerful but always hot.
Washing up area was plenty big enough and brilliant freezer for free access to cold packs. You could even sometimes get BT Wifi if you stood in the wash-up room!
Great easy walk into the village down a purpose built path away from the road, Hawkshead itself very quaint, some good pubs, the lovely Hawkshead Relish Company and clothes shop.
Easy access to surround villages, Ambleside, Coniston etc. Now if they could just arrange for a week of sunshine it'd be perfect!

Stayed here for one night while doing a Coast to Coast cycle.
The reception was great and handled very quickly. We were told the area of the site for Tents and found there to be plenty of space.
The toilet/shower block is amazing and has to be seen to be believed. 5* in my book.
The wash up facilities were very good and well laid out so 4 people can be washing up there stuff at once.
The pitch was flat and quiet which was a pleasant change.
The village of Hawkshead is just a 5 min walk away along a path the farm have created for the customers to use.
The water points were well placed and the refuge facilities well away from the tent pitches.
All in all a great place to stay.

We booked here as we couldn't get into the croft which has always been our preference because of its proximity to hawkshead centre. However, the prices at croft have gone though the roof since its been redone and we would choose hawkshead hall every time now we have actually stayed here.
The toilet block is exactly the same as the croft used to be so it is clear its the same outfit. Use the footpath to town rather than the road - it really is only a short walk to the centre. Friendly lady when we booked in. Farm animals on site a lovely bonus to give that countryside feel. Sadly as we were there over Easter weekend there was a loud group of two families who blocked our lovely view and shouted at their kids a lot but I guess you have to expect that in the school holidays - choose your pitch wisely.
Will definitely return.
My only reason for not giving it 10 out of 10 is there are very few electric hook ups so we had to go without.

This site is highly recommended by us for the tourer who's needs are basic. A pretty, quiet, friendly site. We went here as a 4 pitch family group with ages from old to young. We set up the eldest of our group at the top of a small hill right next to the shower/toilet block and the rest settled in the middle of the site. No complaints from any of us.
The shower/toilet block is of the best we have come across in a long time and was found immaculately clean at all times. We can't praise the friendliness of the site team enough. The footpath to the village was a bit of an obstacle course after a rain-fall but was a pleasant way to reach the inviting village of hawkshead, and it's shops, pubs and amenities. All in all our experience of hawkshead hall has left a great impression on us and we know were to stay the next time we visit.

Visited this site for a couple of days. Absolutely lovely. The views and the fact that there was no noise after 11am was great, as you do get the odd idiots who like to push it, but not on this site, so lets hope it stays like that. Best toilets I have ever seen and kept clean at all times. All for £17 per night. Only a short walk to the village, pubs were very friendly and food was very good in the Red Lion and nice staff. Will be visiting again before the end of this year.

This was the least of our recommended sites for a 12- day trip to Yorkshire and the Lake District. All very professional but gave the impression of a money making business. Yes toilets and shower block very clean and new. However wash up water next door luke warm. No laundry facilities. Said families only but there were at least 2 school groups and it was a Tuesday. There was a notice in the wash up area that said they had a good relationship with the local police. So basically we will not be staying there again.

This was quite a nice basic site we stayed at the bottom of the hill, Toilet block was a walk up the hill but were brand new and clean. Fantastic views. Only let down was the constant wind and rain, surprisingly we stuck it out for 5 nights, site was a mud bath by the time we left A short walk off road will take you to Hawkshead which has 3 good pubs for food. Take a torch with you as the walk is across two fields and there is no light. We were more or less the only couple there so it was so peaceful apart from one night a group decided to return from a night hike at 3:00 in the morning so there was about an hr of talking, which was a bit annoying, but this seems to be the norm when camping regardless of any rules. Probably would stay at this site again

A pretty basic site, but in a lovely setting. We were three families meeting up for a couple of nights, with children ranging from 4 to 17 years of age. The site was not too busy (the last weekend of the school holidays) and there was plenty of room for the young ones to run around. It was quite hard to find really flat areas, but not too difficult to find a spot with an insignificant slope, and space for 3 family tents next to each other.
As other people have noted, the toilet/shower block is new, in very good condition - and warm!
Perfectly adequate washing-up area, and outside standpipe for drinkable water.
The first night was extremely cold for the time of year - but it was well worth having a not particularly good night's sleep for the experience of emerging from the tent in the early morning to be greeted by the stunning vista of surrounding fells, with patches of low-lying mist in the sunlight.
