 This site can only be described as excellent! Ticks all our boxes. There were 7 of us in total 3 Adults, 3 kids, 10, 7+5 plus our little dog. In a fantastic location for exploring the Lake District and only 5 minutes from Wasdale Head for the accent up Scafell Pike. The owners are really friendly and offered advice on where to get supplies and where to eat. They put us on pitch number 3 which is huge, we had our Vermont XLP and also pup tent and still plenty of room for the kids to play plus this pitch is right next to the playground but separated by trees so you do have privacy. There are plenty of space between pitches and the site never felt crowded even in this busy August week. The toilets and showers were always clean and although there are only 2 showers in each ladies and gents we only had to queue for the gents showers once at the weekend when busy with weekend campers. There are 2 pubs at the end of the lane, we went to The Strands for food once and it was excellent with friendly service. There is a local shop in Gosforth 4 miles away that sells most things and is open until 9pm most evenings. The fire pits are a nice touch, we were lucky with the weather and sat round the camp fire most evenings enjoying toasted marshmellows! We left one day early as ex hurricane Bertha was threatening. All in all a fantastic family holiday! Thanks Church Stile!

A delightful, surprisingly peaceful campsite situated a stone's throw from prime walking country.
The campsite is well organised, divided into different areas according to your preference for sun/shade, levels of quiet and proximity to hook-ups or other amenities. The substantial toilet and shower block is spotless, and there are facilities for laundry, a vending machine for drinks and a freezer for re-charging your ice blocks. There's even a small adventure playground area for children.
Basic provisions are also available from the small farm shop/office. The owners also have a range of local information available and recommendations for days out in the area.
Just around the corner are two local pubs, The Strands and The Screes - both serving good local ale.

We spent a fantastic week at Church Stile Farm. The owners were really helpful and cheerful. Upon arrival we were given a choice of pitches. The campsite had a play area which was great for the kids. They also enjoyed the forest walk where they would try and identify animal footprints. The showers and toilet blocks were clean and there is coffee machine in the laundry room. The site office sells the basics, bread, milk, eggs, bacon etc which was convenient as it was a 5 mile drive to the nearest shop. They are also in the process of building a larger reception/shop. There are two pubs in the village, we found The Strand to be the better of the two, although both were excellent. As there was a blistering heatwave during our stay we spent most of our days at the lake Wastwater, which was great for the kids to paddle in and by the end of the week swim in, but the stones are sharp so worth having an old pair of shoes. All in all we would recommend this site and are planning to return.

Was here for a 4 night stay with my wife (no kids) in mid-July. Very tranquil and clean campsite. My only complaint would be very poor mobile phone service but the owners can't do anything about that. Pay phone in village and free wi-fi when visiting pubs. Ideal base for climbing Scafell Pike. Owners could not have been more helpful answering queries, giving directions etc. If you stay here and have any complaints about the site you must be very, very hard to please.

What a place! A lovely peaceful site. If you are looking for your entertainment to be provided then this would not be for you.
It is a lovely peaceful site set out so that it never appears busy (it wasn't busy during my stay anyway). There are no regimented lines of tents set within white lines. The lane meanders through the site, the pitches are large and flat and you are free to position your tent whichever way you choose, towards Illgill Head and the Screes at Wast Water and the morning sun or the other way towards the evening sun (I had a lot of sun during my stay!).
The camping fields are nicely broken up with small shrubs and trees. There is a lovely woodland nature trail/off lead dog walk on site which my dog looked forward to every morning (he is not going to look forward to his morning walk when we get home!)
There are two large showers in the ladies with push buttons with plenty of time between pushes and loads of hot water, about 6 loos and basins - always very clean. There is a laundry room which has washer and dryer, not sure how much as I did not use them. Within this room there is also a very useful freezer for ice blocks which was very welcome. There is also coffee and cold drinks vending machines.
There is a purpose built children's play area and a field with football posts so no worries about balls being kicked at tents. The site can provide fire pits and wood for those that like a real flame. There are picnic benches dotted around the site which most people made good use of. There are static caravans on the site but they blend in well, again with lots of shrubs and they are the green vans, not glaring white ones. They also have a couple of little shepherd huts which look great.
There are plenty of water points around the site, clearly marked rubbish area with recycling and a chemical waste disposal point.
The village of Gosforth is about 4 miles away and has a small shop with cash point machine, a lovely pizza café that do takeaways. 2 minutes walk from the site there are two lovely looking pubs to choose from.
The site for me was ideally located in the Western Lake District which is an area I wanted to explore - I did a lot of driving but I wanted to visit Crummock Water, Buttermere and Coniston while in the area but there are loads of walks direct from the site so you don't need to do the driving if you choose not to. Wast Water is just a short drive or a nice walk.
The owners are great - their was a friendly welcome for me after my 8 hour drive from Cornwall. They were around for a chat if you wanted but never intrusive and a friendly goodbye on my departure.
They sell a few essentials at reception but are in the process of renovating the pig pens to a shop which will be an added bonus to the site.
The negatives? - I honestly can't think of any - having been camping on and off now for over 20 years I have found my perfect site - I just wish it was a bit closer. I will definitely be back when I have got over the 8 hour return home journey down the M6 and M5.

Lovely campsite, with plenty of room even when busy. We had been allocated a pitch but someone had already pitched on it so the owner told us to pick where we wanted.
There are pitches in a 'Quiet' area, but as the site isn't that big, I'm not sure if you could completely avoid the noise of children playing - but all noise did stop by 11pm when we were there, earlier on Saturday and Sunday.
Owners are friendly and happy to help. Showers were really good - free, hot and you didn't have to press the button every ten seconds like you do at some sites! Toilets were clean - soap and papers towels provided and plenty of loo roll too. There was some mess in toilets at times (only paper towels on floor) but that was more down to unsupervised children using the loos, despite the notices saying children must be accompanied.
Play area for the kids plus a separate ball play area with wooden goal posts. There's also a wood the children can play in.
The owners are building a shop and currently sell bread, milk, eggs, batteries, ice lollies and a few toiletries from the office. Free freezer for freezer blocks only, vending machine for hot and cold drinks, covered washing-up area with plenty of hot water.
Both pubs in the village were good.
Wasdale Head National Trust carpark is about 15-20 minutes drive from this site, so its still handy for going up Scafell.
We had a good four nights here and would visit again.

Have stayed here once as a base for walking in the lakes. I love the location, quiet site, flat, mown pitches with a great pub just a 5 minute walk.
Washing facilities are good, toilets and showers are clean, modern and spacious. Staff are friendly.
I have also stayed in The Old Post Office site just down the road and this site is a little cheaper with better facilities. Both are great sites and I'd have no problem returning here.

Absolutely lovely site, friendly and welcoming. Very clean facilities, free showers, level and well drained pitches. Really nice little playground with swings and climbing frame. Couple of lovely pubs just at the end of the drive, plenty of small shops etc a short drive from the site. Stunning views, peace and quiet, what more can be said?!
We had a great time, and well definitely be back!

Just stayed at this lovely site with my husband and two sons - and had a fabulous weekend, The location is stunning with plenty to do in the surrounding area and good pubs within walking distance. The booking process was easy and the owners friendly and efficient. The children were well occupied in the play park or in the on-site woodland where they built a great den! The shower, toilet and washing up facilities were all clean and well maintained. Pitches are all well marked and spacious, meaning that even during a Bank Holiday weekend, the site didn't feel busy. All in all, great site and we'll be back!

We stayed in 'The Hogget' Shepherds hut for the Monday-Friday from the 23rd September for my birthday. A lovelier way to visit the lake district I can't imagine! It was in a lovely area, nice and secluded which is always a plus point for us, but also within a good driving distance of plenty of places. There was a fire pit provided which was very welcome on an evening as it was getting chilly, but the woodburning heater/stove in the hut wasn't needed as it kept nice and warm inside on a night. The sofa/bed was extremely comfortable and it was always lovely to wake up to a view of the mountains across the fields (once the fog had cleared!).
The owners were very pleasant, she deals with the campsite mainly while he runs the farm, and runs after escaping sheep. :) It is a working sheep farm and while we were there they were doing their annual checks which they use the gated entrance for, but they usually kept this to the evening so we never needed to get out in the car during this time and we could just climb over the gates and walk through the sheep.
The toilets were kept in very good condition, I didn't even see one spider! And the price was just right.
All in all a very nice place to stay and we will definitely be going back again!
