 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.

A great little farm site situated right on the remains of Hadrians Wall.
We had a most enjoyable stopover there on our way to Scotland this year.
It's CCC certified but would imagine might accept non members if not busy - and they weren't when we stayed - so worth a call to check. Am quite certain they wouldn't be looking down their noses at self build van conversions either.
Was a flat price of £16 inc ehu (Summer 2016) for two adults, 1 x dog and our 5. 9m motorhome.
Owner is a friendly and helpful working farmer. His retired farmer father also meets and greets.
Good walks from the doorstep. Ask about route through the farm to an excellent linear or circular walk.
It's a small site, just five or so spacious level pitches in a field w open views across farmland, set just by the farm - and the bungalow the farmer's father lives in.
Hardstanding pitches for campers/motorhomes w access to some over surrounding closely mown, firm, grassed areas and informal grass spaces for tents also available.
Portacabin facilities are simple but everything is there, works efficiently and all is kept spotless.
Also has water and waste facilities; with rubbish and recycling bins all neatly stored in a covered area by washing up facility.
Lovely touch is that there's even a little information room with maps, leaflets and local info :-).
We took a photo of part of the wall map to guide our circular morning walk which included a section of the remains of Hadrians Wall. Not much actual wall to see but definite dykes, ditches and venerable plantings to be remarked upon and great views. We had a great couple of hours walking, prior to driving on northwards.
Another plus, if you are an aviation buff, is that Solway Aviation Museum, with a Vulcan you can climb into, is not many minutes drive away.
Yes, a thoroughly recommended cared for simple site - just the type we like.

What a cracking little site this is. Only very few pitches and in August it wasn't full either! The pitches are flat with a few hard standing areas for vans. There is a little 'Unisex' shower \ wash up block. You might need to queue to use the single shower if the site is full. The welcome we received was fantastic and Andrew, the farmer, came round a couple of times to see how we were getting on.
Hadrian's Wall runs at the back of the farm, but there's not much of it left to see, you don't need to travel far to see a part of the wall that is more intact.
We did a great walk through Gelt Woods, and near the end of it, we were greeted with almost a hundred 'twitchers' trying to spot nesting Bee-Eaters in the quarry.
Nearby there a great gastro pub called the Golden Fleece, a little pricey but the food was just amazing, never had such a good meal & service for a long time.

Small pleasant site. Showers clean and warm. We stopped here on way to Scotland so cant really comment on what to do in area. I couldn't see anything on the leaflets that looked nearby though. No leaflets about Scotland at all, and its just over the border!
The only complaint I have is that I was expecting to find Hadrians Wall on site. I mean they mention it don't they! Well you will be disappointed if you are expecting a bit of wall. It is more like Hadrians Mound. A length of raised land where the wall use to be. A few stones on the ground at one end, which I suppose could be part of the wall. I was disappointed anyway.
Otherwise not a bad little place.
