 Left it too late to get on the NT site (3p.M. Bank Holiday Friday!)but was re-directed to this site. Beautiful scenery all around, gamboling lambs, etc. = good location.
We managed to pitch on the smallest of higher fields,across the brook,and it was nearly flat and very quiet,even on Bank Hol. Weekend.
Main fields suffered from some excess noise/drink but miscreants left(or were they pushed?) the following day.
Owners of farm friendly/enterprising - tour de force is the van selling cooked breakfasts / hot drinks etc. At reasonable prices (Sorry if this offends 'true' campers - I couldn't resist the smell of bacon)
Fab walk, behind the site, to Little Langdale - a leisurely 40 min. Walk rewarded by the excellence of the 'Three Shires' pub in the village of Little Langdale - excellent food, cracking real ales- recommend the Hawkshead Red.
Chapel Stile village is pleasant,with good local shop / cafe and is blessed by the Wainwright pub - forget the tacky name, this place sells top class nosh and I sampled very well kept ales administered by a Charles Bronson / Jack Palance look-a-like behind the bar (dont think he shot any customers whilst I supped)
Would recommend the site as much for its little bizarre points - the height of the wash basins must have been determined by the Jolly Green Giant - as for its stupendous views.
£10 quid a night for two humans, one car, one tent = I thank you!

Found site by accident - we were looking for a NT site! The entrance can be a pain if cars are coming the opposite way.
Worth going just for the views! Totally stunning.
Facilities were basic but cleanish. Showers got muddy but it was a packed Bank Holiday. There were queues for the loos, showers and wash-up area so choose when to go carefully.
The showers could do with hooks as you have to throw your clothes over the door, and the sinks are a bit high. I did have a (guilty) giggle at one little girl - the sink was higher than her and she still tried to have a wash!
The owners were very helpful and friendly. I agree with other reviews - try to pitch in the upper fields if you don't want to walk too far to the facilities.
An added bonus was a burger van that opened in the morning and evening during our stay. Sold teas, burgers etc.!
However, we would go back again! Did I mention the amazing views.????!

We came here when the NT trust site was full and to me it could only be a second choice site to Great Langdale NT site.
This does get very very busy at the weekends and people pitch too close together, this is made worse by the fact that people park their cars next to their tents so the ground becomes very muddy and you feel hemmed in.
The site is noisy at night, lots of big groups drinking late and one group had a huge campfire going all night that looked very dangerous.
My daughter loved the river and rope swing but because of the noise at night and the predominance of people drinking at night I would not say this is as much of a family campsite as the NT one which benefits from a family field the playground and the shop on site.
The showers are fine although the queues do get long.
The location is beautiful and excellent for walking however because we felt packed in by cars, noisy parties and pitches that were too close together we did not feel as if we wanted to sit out and watch the stars as we have done previously.

Just returned from a 2 night stay during Bank holiday weekend. Arrived Friday lunch and spaces left but think site full sign went up some time on Saturday.
Site was very busy but toilet/shower block clean and toilet paper available during our stay. We stayed in the lower field and timed the walk up to the farm for toilet block etc. 7 minutes each way! Luckily had our 2 year olds potty with us as this was too far for him!
No noise after 10.30 adhered to on Friday night but we did only have a couple of hours sleep on the Saturday as a large group of blokes had sneaked on, pitched literally cms from our tent and partied all night after getting barred from local pub. But.Owner did his utmost to quieten them and they were thankfully kicked out by police next morning. (Owner offered us free nights stay).
Would definitely recommend this site - scenery amazing, local pub (serving food) and village shop with cafe above a short walk away. Our 2 yr old and 11 month old loved it (and thankfully slept through the noise!). Streams and woods kept the visiting kids happy for hours.
Will be visiting again soon, but not during a bank holiday!

We visited for two nights having read the reviews on here. Scenery is indeed stunning and facilities as described. However the site was completely spoilt for me by the mounds and mounds of rubbish that had piled up at the bins. They must have been very busy the week before. It was a real eyesore and for once we were thankful that cooler weather was keeping the smell at bay. It was such a shame. Maybe a one off but would put me off returning.

Excellent campsite, I like the new toilet block but the sinks could be a lot lower as if it's to high for me what about children.
There's a lot of walking routes from here. There is a nice pub down the road serving nice meals and beer. (Charles Bronson serving behind the bar) I would be going back.

We have visited this great camp site for a few years and it never disappoints us. Weather was good and scenery still as wonderful. Baby lambs were so cute. Just not so sure about the new toilet block. The sinks are very high, I'm 5' 6" and had to stand on tiptoe to wash my face properly, so don't know where the logic is there, also some sort of drying facility would have been appreciated, whether it be paper towels or hand dryer, make sure you have a towel handy. Apart from this they are fine. Good site and one and all.

Firstly like to thank the owners for finding us a pitch at such late notice over the Easter weekend. On arrival the place was jam packed in 3 large fields. The scenery was breathtaking, and all amenities where within a 5 minute walk (shop, pub what more do you want).
I arrived with my wife and 3 children all under 7 and we all had a wonderful time playing down by the river or just climbing in the hills around the site.
The facilities where clean and tidy and the owners were very helpful.
The site policy of noise and fires after 10.30pm was pretty much adhered to, most of the noise came from the odd drunk or mainly small babies.
I will certainly visit the site again as the area in which the site is situated is second to none if you enjoy peace and quiet and the basic amenities for a weekends camping.

My first visit to this remote site, improved toilet and shower block facilities compared with earlier reviews.
Basic site, camping field with no electric points, nor electric lighting at night.
About 10 minutes from village with its Coop and Pub, although the latter was closed due to a fire.
My weekend coincided with a scooter rally and although they discoed until 1 am they were separated from the rest of us by another field.
I'd go agin as scenery and walks look terrific.

This site is in the bottom of a stunning valley. We chose to pitch at the bottom of the flat lower field next to the Cumbria Way track and the babbling brook. Our tent was about 10mins walk from the toilet block, which was unfortunate given the proximity of the aforementioned babbling brook! The growing reeds make it clear which parts of these lower fields can get waterlogged. Free-ranging chooks tend to keep dry by piling into the wash-up area, along with an excitable resident sheepdog. We could walk downstream to two pubs easily within half an hour - preferred The Britannia in Elterwater but Chapel Stile was fine too, where there also looked to be a useful shop-cum-cafe. Good value for money.
