Stayed in a glamping pod here, such a lovely area! Loads of great walks, and the villages near by were just stunning! Everyone was v friendly, and the pub was super handy to stop off for a couple drinks! However, the field does flood pretty badly in bad weather, most of the tent campers left because of it! Cant say I blame them though!

Fantastic location. Immediate access to some great walks. Excellent pub and shop on site with very friendly staff. Beware, some parts of the field flood during heavy rains! Excellent breakfast served at the pub!

The location of the campsite is fantastic, you are literally surrounded by fells on all sides. The site itself is well set up with a separate areas for hard standing for vans and plenty of well kept grass for tents,
The staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were very clean and well kept and the showers free and warm.
The general vibe was quite peaceful despite lots of different groups using the site.
The running around here was excellent with so many accessible peaks but in bad weather there are also quite a number of low level walks possible.
The pub was also great to be able to access, really lovely beer, dog friendly and amazing views, will definitely be back.

We arrived quite late, after 19:00, but the warden was there to greet us, see us to our pitch and settled in. We found the Warden and the staff at Brotherswater Inn very helpful, with good local knowledge and advice. The local weather report is pinned to the noticeboard in the Inn daily and as we stayed through the week as storm Doris approached this was useful for planning the day. The Inn is dog friendly and, with a captive clientele of like-minded people, the ambience in the Inn was enjoyable.
The facilities were good but located to one side of the site so for some pitches there was a fair walk for chemical disposal and the only fresh water tap. Others have complained about the showers being cold but there weren't many staying while we were there and the showers were very hot and welcoming after a day’s walking. The lights are on a sensor and timer and went off sometimes leaving you soaped up in the dark until someone else came in.
The scenery around this site is beautiful, mountains on three sides and Brotherswater lake to the North with a good many walks of varying difficulty starting from the site itself.
The only disappointment was the aggressive and abusive farmer who works the nearby farm: at our first (but not only) contact with him he threatened to shoot our dog. We spoke to the site owner he said that this was an isolated incident but it clearly isn't as other reviews show that the farmer has blighted this site since at least 2004
With so many positive things to say about this site we are sad to say that this incident marred the stay and we won't be going back - which may well be what the farmer wants

A remote site in a stunning valley location. An excellent base for some excellent mountain walking.
The pub on site is excellent and site facilities are very good.
One of our favourite sites - no doubt we'll be back soon!

This site is definitely 'location, location, location'. It is set in a bowl in the Lake District hills. Plenty of walking but you may struggle to fill a week with activities for small children. The neighbouring pub also sells meals. Reception was well stocked with basics. There are corner shops in Patterdale & Glenridding. The nearest supermarkets are in Penrith, also home to the largest Go Outdoors you could possibly ever need!
The best pitches (NB no electric for tents) are around the edge of the site. The middle looked swamp-like after heavy rain. Sheep cut the grass. They are clearly used to dogs but you should bear that in mind if your dog doesn't like being around them.
Facilities are good. There is a freezer for ice blocks. Also a washing machine & tumble drier but no drying room for coats or boots. Likewise no hair driers.
Staff were friendly and no problem with late night noise on our visit.

Just returned from a long weekend camping at Sykeside with the family, stunning scenery, very helpful staff, clean and comfortable site with good facilities, free showers that do get busy, amazing little shop that stocks all you would need and at reasonable prices too.
First time camping with the wife, and both young children, ages 3&8, was a great experience, felt very safe on the site.
Enjoyable break, great site, great people.
Just booked for another long weekend!

A perfect stopover for the third night of our C2C walk (the site is just off the walk but worth it). A pub on site as well with the bonus of breakfast available that set us up for the next section of the walk. Good clean wash facilities on site as well.

Two night midweek stay, level site quite empty. Toilet block always clean, showers hot. Pub conveniently right next to site; gentle walk alongside of Brothers water very pleasant. Well stocked shop on site too. Large section of middle of site had been roped off as just looked water logged, this didn't affect us but might campers.
