We have just spent 4 nights at this beautiful site in the northern Lake District and will be back. We cannot comment about lack of facilities because it is stated in the site description and in all honesty, at half the price of a CC site with facilities, then I am not complaining. The wardens, the Lamberts, were fantastic, helpful, approachable, sincere, friendly and above all, we found them extremely welcoming. I have given 5 stars for 'good for families' because in my opinion, the great outdoors is the best playground, who needs swings and a climbing frame. Lovely quiet site even when full, nothing rowdy occuring, pitches are so well spaced that you do not hear next doors tv over your own. Really, naturally dark at night, no light pollution from anywhere and the lights from the service poles are not directly next to each van. I love this site and will be back, it's less than 2 hours from home and although used a lot for over nighters, we would easily manage 7 days plus. The site is well maintained, clean and pretty and at the wardens bequest, feel free to nose on pitch if you can take advantage of the lovely countryside views which a lot of pitches on this site offered. As long as the van is put in line with the regulation white post, it does not infringe on any health and safety regs as the pitches were massive anyway.
