 We stopped off at this site on the way back from Scotland, what a lovely site, not far from Carlisle airport. It's only small but it gave us a good base to visit Hadrian's Wall and Carlisle castle.
The facilities are kept clean and tidy, but a sign (if there isn't one already) indicating where the waste water should be deposited would be helpful as it is at the top of the field away from the main area.
Would definitely use this site again and the management were friendly and helpful.

I'm not normally a one for writing reviews, however I feel this site more than deserves one!
Small but beautiful, peaceful site. Electric hook-ups are available if required. Owner Andrew was very pleasant and welcoming and made time to come talk to all his visitors. Site area is kept immaculate as are the toilet and shower facilities. We only stayed one night as we booked last minute, however we would have loved to have stayed longer and will definitely be returning, hopefully in the near future.
Not a lot to do in the area if you are on foot, although the walk along the Hadrians Wall foot path is very pleasant. If you are travelling by car the site would be a perfect base as there is plenty to do in the surrounding areas. If you want a chilled relaxing time this site is ideal, its a little hidden gem and glad I found it!

In my opinion this is the best small quiet site in Cumbria, it has 5 generous sized hardstandings plus room for a few tents, the facilities are very good, and the owner comes around in the evening to make sure that you are all ok and to find out if there is anything that you need.
Good site to visit Cumbria from, Lambley Viaduct is worth a visit also the RSPB at Geltside if you are up for a walk.

Stayed here for 2 nights from 31/8/17. Lovely little site with hard standing for 5/6 campervans/mitirhomes in a semi circle with a grassed area opposite that would fit probably 4/5 biggish tents on it. Just enough spaces /pitches without overcrowding.
Small, neat purpose built block with 2 unisex toilets and one large shower. Would highly recommend this quiet peaceful site fir anyone on the way to or from Scotland. Nearby is a little town called Brampton, approx £12 each way in a taxi.
20 min drive to Carlisle. Paul the owner and his father were very welcoming and friendly

This is the friendliest and most helpful campsite we've ever spent time on after 20+ years of camping. For a certified site, it's well resourced (hair straighteners & hair drier in the toilet/shower portacabin) and thoughtfully laid out so that vehicles don't need to go (& get stuck) on the grass.
The site itself is positioned 15 minutes (ish) from Carlisle and nearby is an aviation museum where they have a Vulcan that you can go inside the cockpit of (open weekends & bank holidays).
The owners are wonderful and go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is happy. Andrew (one of the owners) comes around every day to say hello, see how your day has gone and check everything's okay. Nothing seems too much trouble for them and their knowledge about the local area is informative and interesting.
Hadrian's wall runs behind the owners property and although there's no stone left at that point, the shape of the landscape (& Andrews explanation) made it easy to see. It's a good stop off if you're walking the wall. Whilst we were there, some campers were loaned mats to cover the soggy ground (after a torrential downpour), a toddler was taken to see the tractors and cows, and we were offered a lift. This is a fantastic family run site, by such a thoughtful and kind family.
As a tip for anyone going in a motorhome, I'd take a long hose to reach the drinking water tap to fill up. I'd also ensure that you go fully stocked up with provisions as there isn't a shop within walking distance. However, that's a small price to pay for the welcome you receive and peacefulness of the site.
Facilities wise, there's two toilets and one shower, but as the site is so small this didn't cause any difficulties. The shower is an excellent size so there's plenty of room to get changed. They could possibly have squeezed two showers in there, but personally I think it was lovely having the space to get dressed afterwards without everything getting wet as often happens when the cubicles are too small. There was plenty of hot water in the shower, the washing up area and bathroom sinks. There's also a small room with maps, brochures and local information.
We had such a lovely time that we're very likely to head back that way to stay, and would take a detour to stay there. A small but perfectly formed peaceful family run site, where you can get away from everything to relax.

I have just returned from a 2 night stay here. I will definitely come back as I really enjoyed my time here. The site is quiet and toilet /shower is spotless.
Plenty hot water in the dishwashing area. Midway between Brampton and Carlisle, Site is level with hardstandings and grass pitches, some with electric hook up. Stag Inn is about 3 miles away which is very nice in the village of Low Crosby

I'm a bit lazy when it comes to bothering with feedback and it has taken me 9 months to do so! The site is small but well laid out within an area adjacent to the farm.
The owners are most welcoming & friendly and the facilities although basic within portacabins well equiped and clean. The site if pretty much in the middle of nowhere so uninterupted views of the night sky and peace & quiet! Highly recommend, I'll be back!

We have just had a lovely week the toilets an shower were kept spotless, Andrew the farmer is very welcoming we thoroughly recommend this campsite. The only fault we found were people with dogs just letting them run, one done its business right next to our awning but apart from that we had a great week.
It is close to Carlisle and Brampton but far enough away from busy roads so nice and peaceful. There is also a motorbike museum a couple of miles along the road that is worth a visit.

A fine five van site that has all the facilities that we (two pensioners) required. Everything justified the high ratings that others have left. We particularly liked the fact that when the grass was cut the mowings were collected and did not get into the van. Easy gentle walks on Hadrian's Wall path (no wall but plenty to see) and it was good to see 'back-packing' wall walkers enjoying the site.
The owners made us feel very welcome at all times.
Many pubs nearby have closed recently but it is very quick to Carlisle one way and Brampton the other for shopping.
