 An easy review for this site -

Location, location, location. The owners are excellent hosts and maintain a high standard throughout every aspect of the site along with exceptional value.

We have stayed here many times without disappointment. To correct a review posted by another visitor 16amp power supply is available in various locations on the site.

I believe that plans to extend the toilet/shower facilities are drawn & awaiting approval.

This is a must visit site for anyone exploring the peace & tranquillity of West Cumbria, the natural beauty of the lakes & fells or the vibrancy of Whitehaven etc

 Great little site, cracking views of the lake district though you may have to mentally block the glow from Sellafield.

Lovely little beach just down the road at St Bees, decent sized Coop at Egremont and all supermarket chains represented at nearby Whitehaven. Well sited just off the A595 so access to the NW of the lakes is easy. We had a week and spent four days in the lakes, and 3 at the beach.

EHU is a little light rated - we tripped it a lot, I think it was 6 amp. It is 'over 18s' but don't be surprised to see the odd kid there, they'll stay out of your hair though.

Showers are a quid and overpriced if I'm honest, would rather they were cheaper so you didn't overpay. We could get three showers out of a pound. That said you'll often find enough credit built up to cover your shower gratis.

All in all though, very quiet enjoyable stay and would definitely return.

 Rosegarth is a very quiet and very well run site. This was our second visit this year and it is now at the top of list. Steve and Mark are fantastic owners and keep the place spotless. The grass is cut regularly and although basic, the facilities are all you need.

The views from the site are tremendous, over fields to the mountains in the distance with fantastic cloud formations to watch especially at dawn and sunset. The beach is just minutes walk away. (You can hear waves instead of traffic noise. )

There are two garden centres close by, one with a restaurant and bar and Egremont (10 minute drive) has a medium sized Co-op, pharmacy, tourist info. Centre, pubs.

A perfect base for exploring the less crowded western lakes of Ennerdale and Wastwater, and Ravenglass gives easy access to Eskdale.

 We found Rosegarth through an internet search for camp sites without midges, following a previous break that was cut short by a midge plague.

Rosegarth is a small site near the sea in Cumbria. When we arrived there was only one other party pitched and it felt as if we had the whole campsite to ourselves. The owners were very helpful and made us feel welcome.

There is one shower only, which was ok for us due to the site being quiet. The washing up area is under cover, which would be useful in rainy weather.

There is a Cafe across the road, which is handy for a snack or if you don't feel like cooking.

All in all we had a lovely weekend break and Rosegarth and have added the side to our 'definite come back' camp sites.

 Happy to agree with previous reviewers’ positive comments about what a nice site Rosegarth Farm is, and add some additional detail.

We used their permanently sited 1994 Adria Forma twin axle ‘van which comes equipped with everything except your bedding. Considering it is the Lake District and our visit was peak season, we felt it represented excellent value for money.

Overall, a very pleasant experience, however, you might like to note that the on board water heating has been disabled so you rely on boiling the kettle. Also that all water has been turned off and the sink removed in the toilet area, so there is no effective personal washing on board. No real problem as you are very near to the facilities.

The site is very quiet, level and beautifully presented with 4 hard standings and a further grass area. There are 3 horse paddocks adjoining the pitching area which contain Mark & Steve’s horses. , Despite flood warnings covering all Northern England and 6 days of very wet weather, the site showed no signs whatsoever of becoming boggy.

The facilities ‘block’ is a conveniently located small Portable cabin containing 2x wc’s and 1x shower (£1). The interior is very modern, well decorated and maintained. An excellent facility in CS / CL terms.

Vey dog friendly (no charge), but obviously they must not worry the horses. In fact dogs seemed to be accommodated virtually everywhere we went.

Make sure you arrive with provisions as, other than the restaurant in the nearby garden centre, there are no local shops. Nearest are in Egremont, and the major supermarket chains are in Whitehaven.

The Hardnott Pass between Boot and Little Langdale must be the most extreme public road in the UK. It is a great drive, but I strongly recommend not going in anything larger than a car / 4x4; not going during adverse weather; and exercising every caution. I am not exaggerating!

To sum up: Steve & Mark are very helpful people and their permanently sited ‘van saved us a very long haul with our own ‘van. Happy to recommend Rosegarth Farm in every way.

Reviewer: Shellles 6 reviews from this member

 We have just spent a lovely 3 nights at this site. The site is small and quiet, the owner was very friendly and helpful, often see him around the site doing various jobs and helping other campers.

Sufficient toilet, shower and waste facilities which are kept spotless. Within walking distance to beach, which our puppy loved. It can be a tight squeeze through the lanes to get to the site, but other drivers very good at reversing when necessary.

The site entrance is very well laid out, not too tight upon entering and the gate is far enough away so you are not blocking the lane whilst it is being opened.

Lots of room on site for manoeuvring the caravan and the owner told us the best position to face as the wind direction on windy days, which was very helpful as it did get very windy on one particular day.

Will definitely be coming back to this site.

 We stayed here for 6 nights in the caravan on site, the owners Mark & Steve are helpful and friendly.

The toilets and shower were immaculate, the views were fantastic and the site is located in easy reach of Whitehaven, Maryport etc.

The field was well kept and the grass cut regularly. We left at August bank holiday and the site was getting busier so it was the 1st time all week we had to queue for the 1 shower, but it is the owners intentions to have more showers installed.

I would certainly visit this very nice site again

Reviewer: G4jnw 4 reviews from this member

 Just back from Rosegarth and would recommend this site to anyone, the site is well kept and clean, the toilets are immaculate and the owner is friendly and helpful, lovely views too and not far from the sea if you are a sea fisherman like myself.

The site is quiet and dog friendly.

Note this is an adult only site which suited us.

There is a nice garden centre across the road and prices are good plus it has a cafe.

Don't let the nearness to sellafield put you off, although you can see the plant at a distance it does not detract from the lovely views.

There is a decent shower there although it will cost a £1 but you get a long shower for that.

 Just come back from a fantastic week at Rosegarth Farm. We couldn't have been more pleased with the site and it facilities. There were no more than 5 other tents and caravans on site during the time we were there and it was just bliss.

Fantastic views across the fields with grazing horses and just a short drive to the beach, some lovely pubs and great walks and sights.

The owners could not of been nicer and made time to chat and give advice if needed.

The toilets and showers are currently unisex however being adult only and a small site this isn't an issue and they were immaculately clean and didn't have to wait the whole week.

Is on our to go again list!

Reviewer: Wooleyb 1 review from this member

 We stayed at Rosegarth in March this year - we were going to the Whitehaven Beer Festival.

An adult only site, we arrived on the opening weekend of the camping season so there was only us camping which was good and was lovely and peaceful too.

Campsite is really lovely, very flat with good drainage. Toilet block, with two toilets, is very clean and the shower block (one shower) is also clean and has a good supply of hot water. Shower costs £1 and lasts forever. In fact I defy anyone to use a £1's worth!

Owners Steve and Mark were just fantastic - they were even good enough to drive us into Whitehaven for the beer festival on Saturday morning.

On our first night we went across the road to the restaurant at the garden centre - the food was excellent and the owner took time out to chat to us and tell us about the local area.

All in all the weekend was really lovely and would definitely go back there in the future - its a great site with great people running it.
