 Wonderful site. Martyn the manager was extremely helpful, facilities were first class. Eskdale is beautiful and overflowed with good walks. Boot has 2 very nice dog friendly pubs both serving good food & both a short walk away. The narrow guage railway to Ravenglass was worth a look, although Ravenglass has little to offer.
My only warning to Motorhomers is that this is a grass site and so be prepared to ask Martyn to tow you off with his 4x4, its worth checking ground condition with him before you go.
We will most definitely go again, maybe for next New Year.

We have just spent 6 fabulous days at this site, the weather was great very cold (minus 9.5 one night) but nothing could spoil this site, the wardens are very friendly and helpful.
Well stocked shop, drying room which luckily we did not use. The facilities are immaculate, showers are spot on hot and very clean, never had to wait and quite a few units on site as we were there for new years eve.
Which brings me to pubs, we had a brilliant new year at the Boot. The food and fireworks were fantastic and I can honestly say this was one of my best new years ever.
Walking from this site is excellent, you can do high or low level walks - all have beautiful views.

Beautiful is the only word to describe this site and all it's views. Great facilities including fantastic (warm) shower blocks that you don't want to leave, a drying room that is great for your boots or towels and a site shop that is fairly well stocked.
There are four pubs within a couple of miles walk, but my favourite surely has to be the Boot Inn. Just around the corner from the site (you'll need a torch at night) it's a friendly country pub with fair beer and a nice atmosphere. The landlord seems a nice guy (when he's not impersonating a werewolf, I hope that was just a halloween thing) and the food seems good although we only had a snack so I'm not really entitled judge.
The options around the site are stunning, you can take the eye opening drive to the top of the pass and walk the Rhinos pass, you can explore the Roman Fort near the top of HardKnott Pass or you can just take one of the many many public footpaths in this area. If you have boots and a will to explore. This is for you!

Just back from a weekend staying in a pod. What a fantastic experience. The weather was good yet extremely cold - minus 10 one morning - lots of frost and ice. The surroundings here are superb. On arrival we were given a gas heater and as much gas as we wanted as it was so cold- but we never used it because we has some good warm kit. The facilities are great. Indoor and outdoor washing up facility, drying room, the toilet/shower room was spotlessly clean. The shop is well stocked and clean-in keeping with everything else. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Had a look at the camping fields which are nice and flat(only one brave camper at this time of year)had a look round the camping barn which looks great too. There are two pubs within a short walking distance. Both serve food and the beer is excellent in both.Had a brilliant last night in the boot inn,had a lot of fun with the locals who are a great bunch. One thing is for sure- I'll be back either under canvas or in a pod will depend on the time of year-but hopefully it will be soon

When we arrived the site had encountered 10 solid days of torrential rain, so they had closed off most parts of the site, but we were shown to a very well drained and level pitch, with spectacular views. This site is extremely well kept and the owners / managers obviously take pride in their work.
The amenities include toilets, showers, parent and child room (which has 2 showers, baby bath tub and toilet), drying room and laundry, all of which are of a very very high standard. There is a well stocked shop on site where you can get local sausages, pies, fruit and veg, and you can order a newspaper at the weekends.
There are 2 pub restaurants within walking distance, both serve fantastic food, and a good selection of beers and malt whiskeys.
The Eskdale railway is also a short walk away, and is a good day out, but very expensive.
This is a fantastic site, the only downside for us was the drive to get there, as our car fully laden would not cope with the Hardknott pass, so was a long way round, but we would definitely return.

Brilliant!
After upsetting much of the bottom end of the site on the Friday we were allowed to stay on for the rest of the weekend as long as we kept the noise down.A bit rich seeing as there was a stag party on at the top end of the site!
Having said that, we behaved and enjoyed the rest of the weekend.
Simply the best toilet facilities I have seen on a campsite in a long time.
I would have preferred to slept in there than in my bedraggled old tent.
See you for New Years Eve!

Stayed here at short notice, having spent 3 days at the other CCC site nearby (Ravenglass - check its reviews as well, for things to do in the area). We wanted to be closer to the Eskdale Show (last Saturday in September), and called in on our bikes to book, having come up on the railway from Ravenglass.
Feels very unlike the usual CCC sites because there are no caravans or big second-home motorhomes due to the narrow local C-roads, and because the manager is laid back. An informal feel, no hardstanding (but plenty of electrics around the perimeter). Again, unusually for a CCC site, we were given the choice of where to go (you're usually told), but were of necessity limited by the ground conditions, soft after recent rain. A minor issue of 'defensible space' with a 'pitch where you want' site, so we used the wind screen to deflect people away from our door and to protect ourselves from the football being kicked about.
Pretty hills overlooking the site. Don't miss the inn that brews its own ale, near the base of Hardknott Pass. Dog walk in the woods by the site, or along the C-road which is quiet at night when the tourists have left. The Eskdale Show was a hour's walk away - we took the Spaniel down the cycle track along the riverside where she could swim - and it was a cracking day out, very different from Highland Shows we know up north because of the foxhound racing, Cumbria and Westmorland wrestling, Herdwick sheep, and a marquee packed with crafts, home baking competitions etc; all well worth staying on for, despite it meaning a very full day's journey home on Sunday!

Just returned after a weeks holiday at this site, in a word FANTASTIC.
Facilities were spotless. As mentioned before fresh meat from site shop is excellent. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Beautiful walks direct from site. Stunning views. 2mins to friendly pub. Will be back next year. Stayed in camping pods last night as we decided to take monty 6 down while it was dry after 3 days of rain. Just as well as heavens opened again on Saturday.

Stayed in one of the camping pods here. Really good, though only just enough room with 2 adults and 2 children. If the weather had been bad it would have been a tight squeeze. However the pods are great as long as you recognise their limitations.
The site itself is in a superb location, has great facilities and is really well run. Lots to do nearby. Recommended.

We have just returned from our first camping break. I was really impressed with the site, the toilet/shower block was really clean, good variety of food in the shop, and the local meat sold there was amazing. The play area is good for the little ones. We visited 2 pubs during our stay, and found both to be a lovely atmosphere as well as have nice beer and food.
There were some lovely walks, although with a 1 year old and 5 year old, we didn't venture far. The views are breathtaking. On our second night we had torrential rain, which had cleared by morning, we went out until after lunch, and when we had got back the ground had drained really well.
Our friends stayed in the camping pods, and were very impressed, there was only the 2 of them, and they thought any more would be over crowded, although its supposed to cater for 4 people.
All in all this was a great campsite, and I'm so glad we chose this one as our first camping trip.
We will certainly be going back again next year.
