As a tent camper I reviewed this site back in June 2016 but this time I stayed in one of their "camping pods" - aka posh shed - so thought it worth writing another review.
The pod was comfortable & pleasantly warm thanks to its little radiator. There was also a spare electric plug for other uses: camping fridge, low wattage camping kettle or phone charging.
The mattresses were comfortable but you were at floor level not on a sleeping platform.
Reception: staff friendly but seemed poorly stocked maybe because it was still early in the season? The Co-op, 2 miles up the road but you can walk on nice footpaths, had plenty of supplies.
Toilet blocks: one was closed for refitting. The other was open but quite a walk from the furthest corners of the site. Ladies: absolutely fine but my husband reported somewhat unpleasant toilet blockages in the Gents each day suggesting design faults.
One further warning: it can snow in Langdale in April. A family had booked a teepee tent and reported it was absolutely freezing inside at night. Don't forget your hot water bottle!

We spent New Year in Great Langdale and it was excellent.
The National Trust pub, the Sticklebarn, was a great place for the celebrations.
Langdale is one of the most picturesque spots in the Lakes so the site is worth visiting for the hill walking alone!

This is an excellent base for walking in the Langdale valley. Excellent walks including Bowfell and Lingmoor.
The Sticklebarn is a good pub with a friendly welcome, though the food is average and overpriced.

I loved this campsite but now that they have installed a biomass fuelled heating system that is on all night and sounds like a loud extractor fan, I shall not be returning for a while. Even earplugs did not work. The extractor fan in the new toilet block is also noisy, and neither should be on all night. Possibly OK if you pitch up nearer the old toilet block or the Group field.
I may return later in the year as I am hopeful that this will get sorted.

I have visited this site many times over the years and have always pre booked a pitch at the side of the family field as the pitches are flat and there is plenty of room between tents, however when booking this time I was told that they no longer used the usual pitches in order to save the grass from wearing out in the same spots but was told a spot would be saved for me in that area
On arrival I was told the area was full and I would have to search the site for a space, after 30 mins of walking round the site I found a spot and pitched. I went to look at the area I had booked and saw that more tents than usual were on the same piece of grass, so it seems to me that rather than saving the grass the idea of getting rid of pitch numbers is to get more tents in and make more money. A shame as its a lovely site but is now a massive free for all whether you pre book or not

National Trust run campsite in an ideal location for walks in the fells. 5 mins to Old Dungeon Ghyll pub which serves great food and ale. Small shop on site. Level pitches, few hard standing campervan pitches adjacent to the reception area which did feel a bit like a car park. Big field for tent pitches. Showers and toilets clean.

Great site with very good facilities. Friendly staff with good local knowledge. 3 pubs within easy walking distance that serve food. Magnificent views. A good choice of accommodation, tent, caravan, yurts, huts, mobile home.

Great campsite though it gets a little like a car park at peak times. Love the informality of everything. Now got more electric hook ups so becoming more popular at weekends so plan ahead. Only gripe really is the £5 booking on line fee.

Have camped here a few times and a fabulous site with friendly helpful staff. Great local pubs serving tasty food. Perfect for climbing Scaffel pike etc. What more can you ask for. Oh and there's a drying room, to dry boots and clothes. Just in case the weather isn't on your side. Back there in August.

Friendly welcome from National Trust staff and pointed out where to pitch. Details had been left on the door with a map provided too but we had personal service having arrived after 3pm when shop was open. We thought that was when you had to arrive as it is not very clear from the website - but other people seemed to arrive at all times. Would have ben useful to know where water points were on arrival as it was a long way to carry it to our campervan once we had pitched - only two water points at shower blocks. Fabulous views all around and we did walks in all directions without having to drive anywhere. Imagine it would be very busy in season with over 200 pitches but lovely and quiet in March - only a few campervan pitches but they seemed to be flexible at this time of year for those who didn't want hook up. There were even some brave tent campers. Website says you can only book 24 hours in advance which seems silly considering you have to pay the full amount then too - surely most people having paid will turn up.
Several pubs in walking distance and all dog friendly - completely different feel to them so depends what you like. In fact we each preferred the food in different ones! Large toilet and shower blocks which were clean and warm - could do with a floor mop/squeegee to leave it dry for those following you. I'm sure we will be back but not in high season !
