 Stayed here for 2 nights from August 12th. The site was fairly empty when we arrived at 1pm. We paid £30 for 2 people for 2 nights which I think is good value.
The site is about a 10 minute walk from Hawkshead village which is reached by walking down a stone track at the edge of a field. This saves you having to walk on the narrow road when its dark.
The toilet facilities are excellent and looked very new, there's 4 showers and plenty of toilets in each bathroom and even when the site was displaying a sign saying it was full on sat night (there was still lots of space so didn't feel cramped) I only had to wait about 2 minutes to get a shower.
The site was pretty quiet although I do sleep with earplugs in when camping.
Overall an excellent site, would glady return and recommend to others.

We have just spent 2 nights at Hawkshead Hall campsite and found it to be an excellent site.
A very friendly and welcoming owner was a good start. £15 a night for 2 people and 1 car was very reasonable.
The site is mostly flat, with some sloping areas. They have a 6m between pitches rule, which means that even in busy times it is unlikely to get too claustrophobic.
There are new shower/toilet block facilities with free showers. These are of a high standard and impeccably clean.
There is a small washing up area with a freezer which is a decent size for the size of the site.
Only a 5 minute walk to Hawkshead village via a footpath through fields.
Hawkshead is a busy little place with 4 pubs. In the interests of research we tried them all!Nicest by far was the Queens Head. Food pricey but well worth it.
Would definitely return to this site.

We drove over to Hawkshead on Thursday evening to find the site with only one other happy camper there which was a change! We arrived just before eight and were greeted by the owners who were mid way through painting the new toilet facilities.
The site now uses the entrance on the village side of the farm buildings where access to the Hawkshead show usually is. There has been some levelling of the site over the winter as well but we never found this a problem.
We pitched up in the middle of the site near the water tap which tested our awning on both nights due to the high winds and rain. Although it rained on and off for two days the site drained well. The site now has card facilities for payment which will help keep the cash in your wallet because you will need it for the pubs as they seem to charge a premium for the location.
The existing toilets / showers were always clean and tidy with plenty of supplies.
Hawkshead village is a short walk across the fields to the pubs and co-op.
We paid £15 for two adults and a campervan per night.

A great little site situated just outside the picturesque village of Hawkshead.
Parts of the site are on a slope but we didn't have any problems finding a flat pitch. There has been some work to improve the drainage of the site and there is also work being done to build a shower/toilet block, though the current portable cabin blocks are adequate and cleaned regularly.
There is no on site shop but as has been said previously there is a footpath from the site to the village that has a Co-op. The village also has some places to eat and a few pubs that serve local real ale.
All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay here and will definitely use again!

This was our fourth visit here, we have found the owners to be friendly and helpful each time.
The amenities are sufficient for our needs, the shower and toilet block is currently a port cabin but a new one is under construction.
A large covered barn houses four large sinks with hot water, and there is a large freezer to store ice packs both free of charge. The campsite is surrounded by fields and beautiful scenery.
Hawkshead village is a very pleasant 10 minute, off road walk, with four pubs a few cafes and a variety of shops including a co-op.
There were no amenities for children but they were made welcome.

Good site situated in an excellent part of the lake District. Easy walk to Hawkshead via a path through a field. Toilets are situated in a porta-cabin but are maintained and cleaned to a high standard. This site is currently undergoing some work with regards drainage and a new toilet and shower block are currently under construction. I would urge everyone to give this site a go.

Last minute decision to make the most of unseasonably warm sunshine at the beginning of April. Lots of sites were shut or struggling with water from previous week's rain. This one had just opened and was very quiet.
Perfect location and great views all round. We tried to pitch as far away from all other tents but still ran into trouble with the 11pm curfew on both nights. So we had to go to sleep but that was the only downside and I guess we had less hangover and more energy for bike trails in Grizedale on Saturday and boating on Sunday.
Showers were clean and water was, if anything, a bit too hot. Freezer (for blocks, free) and wash up area fine.
Sorry about the noise, we really didn't think our voices were that loud!
Would definitely go back if they'd have me for the location alone if nothing else.

This was our second stay at this campsite and we will be returning again! There is plenty of space and it never feels crowded. The owners are very helpful and always about keeping an eye on things.
The toilet / washing up facilities were always clean and there was plenty of hot water.
Hawkshead village is a 10minute walk through the fields to plenty of pubs, cafes and the co op (cash machine).
We stayed for three nights and didn't drive anywhere because of the locality to Grizedale forest and Tarn Hows etc.

With this campsite you are basically looking at a hilly farmer's field with a farmhouse, some slate gravel tracks and a portable cabin with toilets and 2 showers (for the ladies - assume its the same for the men) in and a shed where you can wash up.
When we arrived it was fairly busy and difficult to find somewhere to pitch which was levelish and where we could get the pegs in as although there is good grass coverage there is solid rock a couple of inches under the surface. In some areas its single rocks which you can peg round, in others it's large rocks which made pitching impossible, even with rock pegs (and we only had enough of them for the guys).
If you can, pitch on high ground as the lower more flat pitches get waterlogged quickly in persistent rainfall (and this is the lakes after all).
We ended up pitching on a very flat but slightly squishy bit of low ground, which was fine for our drizzly stay but would have been a problem if the rain had really set in.
The location is brilliant and there is a lovely walk to Hawkshead village and it is in a great location for visiting the Lakes attractions.
The toilet facilities are immaculate, and usually were well stocked with toilet paper and soap etc. However, we only stayed for 3 nights and for 2 of the mornings there was no hot water. I can stand a cold shower but it's not really on for a 3 year old (or a delicate husband lol) and it's rubbish for pot washing! Mixed reasoning as to what the problem was. Rumours around the campsite were that the plumber had been called and that it had been off and on all week but when I mentioned it on leaving the farmer (I assume) said the gas had just run out. I was offered a reasonable refund though which I was more than happy to accept.

We visited this site with our trailer tent, two adults and two dogs. We found the site lovely and peaceful. Even at the weekend when it got busy it still seemed quiet. There was some building work in the next field near the farmhouse (looked like they were putting a new road in to enter the site). The work was done at sensible times and did not not bother us.
Our pitch was flat although the site is quite hilly so some seemed very uneven. There was plenty of space between units. The toilet block was small but always seemed to be very clean and although the site was full over the weekend managed to not have to queue for the showers!
The village was a short walk away through a couple of fields which was nice as was the village of Hawkshead which had some lovely shops.
Most other attractions were a drive away but the location we found ideal being between Coniston and Windermere lakes and also Grizedale forest just down the road.
We intend to visit again in September as the dogs loved all the swimming and there was so many things we never got round to doing. We plan to stay on this site again.
