 Lovely site in a fantastic location. Mountain walks from the site and a short drive to Wasdale Head to do the 'big boys' (Scafell, Pillar etc.).
Only two showers for women and two for men but, as previously mentioned, never had to queue once! Plenty of hot water.
Hot drinks machine in the laundry was a great idea (especially when the weather turns and you can't be bothered to get the stove out)! A cold can machine would also be a good idea.
Although site was full when we arrived - it still did not seem too crowded. However, someone did pitch their tent approx 1.5m from ours on the last evening! There's always one!
Screes Inn and Strand both nice places to eat. A little expensive for pub grub - but this is the Lakes! Both dog friendly also.

We arrived at this site to a warm welcome from both the owners and their working sheepdogs. The site is extremely well organised and is well maintained. The toilet and shower facilities are basic but well looked after. They were always clean and were well maintained. The dishwashing facilities were great and dry. There was a fully kitted out laundry that we didn't use but was being well used by other campers. The added luxury there was a vending machine for hot drinks.
The site itself has a public footpath running through it and this is well signposted so that there are no stray hikers wandering around the site. The owners are really friendly and helpful and are prepared to get tough with people who don't respect the rules of the site. We had a great weekend. The scenery here is fantastic and there is little to do other than enjoy the vista and wander around. There is a hotel and a pub in the village. We ate at the Screes Inn and it was good quality comfort type food which was just what we wanted. All in all a lovely weekend.

Great site, Toilets and shower rooms small but kept very clean, site was busy but never had to queue at any time.
The surrounding area is just wow, a trip to Wesdale Head is a must especially with the home brew beer at the Hotel.
Locally 2 pubs in the village both serving good food and ale.
A working farm and the owners work very hard to maintain this quality site.
Definitely coming back.

This site has a maximum capacity of 50 campers They don't take group bookings as a rule and the site is used by families and serious walkers. To that end, quiet and plenty of room and a great little site.
Facilities:-
There is one toilet and shower block which is kept clean all the time, atached is a laundry and washing up room with a freezer for your ice blocks again clean and tidy and constant hot water.
The site was full and we never had to queue once and never saw one, this is probably due to the common sense of the campers all not running to the shower at the same time! there is only one thing I couldnt get my head round is why after 2100hrs the showers were locked until early morning? all the doors are coded so its not like any passer by is going to nip in for a shower.
There is a park for the kids to play in and a footbal field to one side. Electric hook ups and a quiet area, well, em, the quiet area is just the other side of the track and the campsite isnt big enough to get away from any noise so its not really any quieter. (not that there was any noise)
Right outside the farm/site entrace are two pubs, and further up the hill another hotel and restaurant each siutable for variuose bugets and taste buds. Pie and chips for us lot after a good tab up scafell was good enough.
This is a working farm and the owners were friendly and helpful I would happily stay here again
Ps.you will need to book
Pps.Hard Knot pass keeps the masses away :-)

Great site will go back.
Set close to mountains & beautiful Wast Water. 2 nice pubs a short walk into village.
Great showers.
Set between 2 small woods which was ideal for walking dog. Owls flew over tent at dusk.
Electric hook-up. Friendly owners. Nice & quiet.
Quite a drive to get to central lakes over Hardknott pass but near to coast.

This is a great site in a great location, had 3 nights here at the end of April. Wasn't busy when we stayed - had choice of whole campsite so pitched on edge with woods behind us.
Facilities are very good and clean but a bit limited, usual separate gents/ladies toilet/shower rooms and a laundry room, but I would imaging there would be queues if the site was full.
Nice to see owners providing full recycling facilities!
2 pubs within 5 minutes walk, both do food and have a beer garden/patio.
Although the campsite itself was quiet, the local area wasn't, with all of the parking places along Wastwater full by early morning on the Sunday.
Security is important on this site! main gate locked at night, 3 key codes given to you for the toilet/shower/laundry block and a label to hang on your van/tent with vehicle reg and leaving date - perhaps its because there is a public footpath running through the site although wasn't heavily used.
A nice week-end on a nice quiet site with great views and lovely weather.
.we will be back !

FANTASTIC!! The toilets/showers were exceptionally clean (FOC, and plenty of hot water). The laundry room (complete with freezer for campers use) was also clean. Small, but lovely play-area for the children, with woodchip on the ground to cushion any falls! Electric is available, but is limited, so needs to be pre-booked. Not an overcrowed site which is a good thing, in my opinion. There are a set of rules to stick to (gates closed to cars after 9.30pm, no noise after 11.30pm, all ball games to stay in the play-area) but this just makes for a more pleasant & peaceful stay. Fresh water & water disposal areas spread throughout the site. Very friendly & helpful owners. We will definitely be returning.

The site is in a lovely area with some spectacular scenery a short drive away. A little off the beaten track, about 3-4 miles from the main road.
We were a little disappointed that the shower and washroom facilities were limited. Only managed to get a shower once without queueing. The combination lock on the doors was a pain, especially as the ladies, gents and laundry room all had different combinations.
The two pubs nearby came in handy, one did excellent but slightly expensive food, the other was cheaper but more of a fast food type. Sorry, can't remember the pub names.
We would use the site again.

Just visited this site with my husband and two children (aged 3, and 6) and 3 of our friends and their children. Really good site, very pretty with trees/flowers around the field, and lovely views. The site operates on a pitch anywhere policy which is great when camping in groups.
Good toilet/shower block, there are only 2 showers though, and it was busy when we stayed which meant queing for the showers.
There's a small play area for the kids which is always handy to keep them occupied and there's a lovely woodland walk just above the camp field marked out with yellow arrows which the kids loved.
There's two pubs within walking distance with a beer garden - again, good when you have children.
The site is well situated for exploring the area we went to:
Gosforth - also has two pubs, great food at The Lion & Lamb with good selection on childrens menu.
Seascale - great beach which our kids loved, they were all stipped down to their undies paddling in the sea the weekend we went! There's also a small adventure playground near the car park.
Dalesgarth - there's a miniture railway which goes from Dalesgarth to Ravenglass, which, though quite expensive is good fun.
Wastwater - an absolute must to visit when in this area. The weather was kind the weekend we where there so the lake was particularly breathtaking - make sure you take your camera! There are parking spots along the length of the lake, and there are shallow pebble areas perfect for paddling in.
We were booked in for 3 nights and had intended visiting Muncaster Castle and going horse riding as well, but unfortunately my little girl fell over and broke her arm on our 2nd night and so we had to cut our stay short (spent 2 nights in West Cumberland Hospital instead!) - but we will be going back to finish our holiday asap.

This is a lovely campsite. It is perfect for those looking for a no frills, quiet, 'get away from it all' site - ideal for exploring Scarfell Pike etc. The owners are very helpful and enthusiastic and have made many recent improvements to the site, which is very well maintained.
This is a working farm site and the camping area a quite small, open, level field surrounded by woods with a great view onto the hills rising out of Wastwater. There are a couple of electic hook-ups but mostly it is a tent field. It wasn't busy during the 2 weeks we were there so we had lots of space and often had the toilet/shower block to ourselves. Did get busier at weekends but not enough to spoil the peace. The only disturbance to the peace was the sheep in a nearby field who occasionally got excited - but we grew very fond of them!
Toilets/showers/laundry all fairly basic but kept imaculate and always plenty of hot water. Was initially worried that there are only 2 showers but this was never a problem when we were there - could possibly be if the site was absolutely full though.
There is a nice little childrens play area and a woodland walk through the oak woods surrounding the site, which is home to red squirrels, owls, bats etc. which the site actively conserves. They are into conservation - offering re-cycling facilities, preserving energy etc. as well as supporting the local wildlife.
Owners showed great balance in their enforcement of rules - they were very swift to ask one group to leave who had been noisy late at night (despite being asked to keep it down) but were flexible with the rest of us who were being peaceful and considerate.
The village of Nether Wasdale is tiny but has 2 pubs (one serving really lovely food that doesn't match the slightly run down surroundings!). There are local shops in a nearby village and I highly recommend the organic butchers farm shop in nearby Stanton Bridge!
I really couldn't fault anything about this site - a truely great site that I will most definitely use again.
