What a joy

We were a little unsure when we booked,because of the proximity to the A66. How wrong can you be. A beautiful little site with plenty of rubbish bins and re-cycling. There is a spacious shower (20p) which gives plenty of time for even hairwashing with a leisurely shower. The walking nearby is good , just a short ride down into Mungrisdale itself gives access to lots of fells.When we were there ,there was still some damage from storm Desmond (on the access to the fells) but that did not stop our enjoyment one little bit. If there was a slight negative it was only that when letting your four legged friend out for a last little walk at night he had to be on a lead, but that is to be expected on a farm site. We will certainly be back.

lovely site

Easy to get to. Beautiful views. Geese were funny watching them on the pond behind the caravan. Will definitely be back. Mr Bird was very helpful. Great walks straight off the site.

Great Little CL

Lovely site. Minutes off the A66. Great views. Handy for all the Lake District has to offer, scenery, walks, pub grub. Very friendly but not intrusive owner just lets you get on with it. Toilet and shower in part of the farm buildings, spotless although showering in winter may be a bit cool! Can recommend the farm shop just off the A66 just before the site.We were lucky with the weather too.  Sure we will visit this site again

Fantastic Lake District Holiday

Our family together with my sister-in-law's family with our caravans decided to go on our main holiday to the Lake District. Normally for our main holiday we stop on Caravan Club run sites, but this time we decided to take a chance and stop on a CL. We all loved this site, the owner is a real character and great source of information. He even got our young boys (10 and 11) to help him with taking up the recycling and didn't mind when we played rounders in his fields. The view from the site is splendid, but as a consequence it is exposed so make sure you pin the awning down well! A great value site and a great value holiday, if we come back to the Lake District we'd definately stop here again. Wholly recommended.

Peaceful CL with superb access to the Lake District

Our party consisted of 2 adults and 2 kids (2 and 5 years) and a 4 berth caravan. We stayed for 4 nights mid week. The site is directly off the A66 with sounds of very distant road noise. The site is well kept and all 5 pitches are hard standing. Adequate electric points, waste bins and recycling facilities with chemical waste point. There is only one drinking water tap but its not too far away. The farm house is around 150 yards away and there is a toilet cubicle and separate shower which takes 20p pieces for around 2 minutes showering time. Functional facilities in good condition. We paid in advance and didn't meet the farmer - Mr Bird - until our third day as he is very busy and said he lets the CL pretty much run itself unless there is a problem. Nice fella and very helpful. He is around during the day but we were always off site in the daytime so only saw him early in the morning. The only criticism I have is that its a bit tight to reverse on to the pitches but that's it! We will certainly be visiting again as for £10 per night it is just superb.

Great LocalPlacesOfInterest

A basic site in a lovely location. Very easy access, just a couple of minutes from the A66. A very nice owner who we didn't meet until we had been on site over 24 hours. Hard standing pitches with fantastic views. Extremely quiet. Overall basic facilities but a lovely location and owner.
