 We visited the site, because of its locality to Carlise Airport. Its a short run from the site to the airport. Its small, well maintained and the young lady who answered the door was very pleasant. The info sheet we were given on arrival was very explicit, and told us that accses to Hadrians wall was even closer than we thought (right behind the farm). Amenities wise it had a single shower /toilet block with 2 toilet cubicles and 1 shower. 2 sinks with nice hot water. I would definitely use this site again my only concern being the amount of toilets

We decided to extend our holiday to Keswick by having a stop over at this site on the way. What a find! The site is on a working farm but it certainly wasn't noisy. It's an enclosed site so great for the kids to play in the middle while being able to keep an eye from the comfort of your caravan. Although this is a certified site there are 2 toilets and a shower on site. The quality of the facilities far exceeds what you would expect from a little certified site. They were immaculately clean. We only had our debit card so when the owner came to collect the money we found out we couldn't pay! This wasn't a problem though as the next day we visited nearby Brampton which is a beautiful little village with ample free parking. We got the money and simply rang the owner when we returned - so make sure you bring cash! This site is beautiful, our only disappointment was the fact we only booked for one night here. I would have liked to have stayed longer to explore Brampton further, visit Carlisle and have a walk on the Hadrian's wall path (which can be accessed directly on site). We definitely shall return and will be spending more than one night - this place is an absolute gem.

We have been visiting this site frequently since it first opened - it is outstanding! The owners cannot do enough to ensure their campers get what they want - peace and quiet, small but excellent facilities, lovely view, area to walk dogs, and quick access to the surrounding area. The only criticism I can make is about the few `campers' who ignore camping/caravanning good behaviour - ie noisy or let their children run riot; others are dirty and leave toilets/shower dirty or litter; some are just out to complain because they are not nice people. Nevertheless the owners make every attempt to deal with these people in a pleasant manner. I advise anyone reading a poor review to ignore it.

A review following our lovely week at Bleatarn campsite. A small family run site in a beautiful location and easily accessible. We were met by the friendly owner and was advised to pitch where we wanted and even offered to give us a hand.
The owner also the farmer makes sure he pops round every morning and evening to check if things are ok and offer any advice on the surrounding area. A very busy man, it amazes me how he gets any farming done with his chatty nature and even took out time to play a board game with my daughter.
The pitch offered nice grass and was very flat with the little rain we had it did not flood. Also available were picnic tables to use next to your tent.
The toilets were very clean and well stocked with hair dryers, mirror and cleaning products to use freely. Even though there is only one shower we never queued and being a unisex facility suited us with our young daughter. Oh and I liked the fact the shower was free and very warm.
The area is lovely and you are only a few miles from the nearest attractions. There is no shop on site but there is really nice butchers and places to eat and a supermarket in nearby Brampton.
Honestly this site is a little gem and I cant wait to visit at Easter.

Its a pleasure to write another review for Bleatarn Farm, its now about 18 months since I first visited the site and the standards are as high as ever, even though the campsite has now all the visitors that I thought it would have when word spread about how good it was. I can’t add a lot more to what I said 18 months ago. As I said standards are as high as ever even when it had its maximum number of tents and caravans. Andrew still managed to get around every visitor to ensure everyone’s stay was a good experience. So, Well done all at Bleatarn you have the success you have worked so hard to achieve.

We have become regular users simply because we find this an impeccably organised and managed site. We have used it about 4 times now, mostly for overnights [midway between home, in North Aberdeenshire, and South of England] but came to like it so much that we have done one one [and plan more] rather longer breaks. The Solway Coast is a beautiful and uncrowded part of UK and we are appreciating it more and more.
Owners are friendly without being in anyway intrusive - a difficult balance achieved apparently effortlessly. Facilities cover everything you would expect on a big site and are scrupulously maintained. Pitches are hard standing and bang on level. Appearance of the whole is neat, tidy and cared for. Users feel cared for too. A wee treasure!

Great little site - fantastic if you're not a fan of huge sites with caravans & tents as far as the eye can see.
Facilities also great - very clean, warm & really good condition.
Lots of information about things to do locally, and Andrew is the most friendly & chatty campsite owner I've ever met - how he manages to chat so much & still keep the farm running I'll never know!
Will definitely return.

We visited this super little site for 2 nights whilst walking the Hadrians Wall path. It was the best by far of the several other sites we used in the area including two C and CC sites which were really quite poor. Ideally situated for touring and the long distance path, immaculately clean and very well organised with lots of thought having gone into providing everything one could possibly need, even hair straighteners as well as hair dryer in the toilet block. Quiet and with lovely views and a very friendly welcome plus good value. We cannot recommend this site more highly!

What a gem we found with this fantastic CL site, high standard from the facilities to the pitches. Warm friendly welcome was received from owners, welcome letter given with lots of useful and local information. Facilities (unisex) are of a high standard and are spotlessly clean, with good shower and hairdryer. Well spaced, reasonable level, pitches, EHU positioned nicely. Peaceful site the most noise was the farm animals, lovely walks from the site over Hadrian’s wall.
Ideal site situated, 5miles from M6 (10Mins). Local pub just re-opened no food, just 3 miles away is The Stag in Crosby which serves tasty homemade food and great local real ale. Most definitely the best site I’ve visited in the last few years.

Stayed Easter weekend, freezing cold but a warm welcome from the site owner. Excellent site and facilities. First time on a CL if they are all like this will stay at more. Site level well drained gravel hard standing - bring steel pegs.
Toilet block/shower exceptionally clean. Beautiful setting and views of snow covered mountains. Golden Fleece at Ruleholme worth a visit, great food and great service, following dinner one evening we then booked for Sunday lunch.
