Reviewer: Rytoncampers 3 reviews from this member

 Spent two nights here in an Outwell Montana 6. Didn't expect to be pitching On gravel so didn't have the right pegs. The on site shop sold them for £1 each!

Nice site in a lovely position with view of the lake. Some great walks from the site. Staff very friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers looked quite new and were clean. The pub is handy, it rained so it was nice to be indoors! Kids loved the games room and the play area. Nice big field too for them to play on. The site was very noisy (considering it's name!) and we were woken through the night and very early in the morning by families with very young children.

Enjoyed our stay but wouldn't rush back.

 Stayed this weekend with my partner, son and dog. Lovely campsite, very well run and very welcoming. Good mix of people and children for my son to play with. Great dog walking facilities too!

What blew me away was the bar! Totally up my street, with ram skulls and bears, absolutely loved it! There was a young lad doing magic tricks too and he was amazing!

The walk from the site to Aira Force Waterfalls and back was in credible too with a spectacular view of Ullswater.

Only thing that spoilt my stay was our blow up bed deflating and the gravel under the tent meant I didn't sleep properly for both nights but that was our fault!

Will definitely be back!

 Stayed for a long weekend, rang and said it would be late when I would be arriving, I was informed to just call at the bar,

Told to go anywhere I wanted,

Site is very relaxed staff always around if needed, small shop on site, toilets very clean showers are FREE,

This site is around 1 mile up a country lane but don't let that put you off this is a well run site very clean with kids play area and lots of walks direct from site.

There was a good mix of old and young campers tourers and statics with some real nice camper vans

Sum it up quality site well run very clean good atmosphere

 Stayed for a week toilets showers and baths are good. Site is three miles from nearest village and ten miles from nearest town. Dog friendly site with dog friendly pub but only opens three hours a night. Had to move my caravan and awning forward three yards after two days so they could dig a channel for new pipes with a digger that woke us up at early doors. They did say they would see us ok at the bar but I'm still waiting. I would go back but I would insist on a pitch on the second or third level or near the toilets. Also there is free wifi on this site but only if you are close to the toilet.

 Lovely site with great facilities, without being tacky, The shower block is modern and clean although there are only a few showers so get there early! Plenty of hot water and hairdryers in the ladies. The two bathrooms were well appointed- one had a baby bath there for use. The site bar is amazing-really quirky and well worth a visit! Pitches were well spaced and the kids play area kept them all amused. Its a fabulous site in a fabulous area and we will definitely be back. Not a cheap site, but a good site.

 WE have been on the Quiet site from March 2014 to the end of February 2015. We have enjoyed our stay on the Quiet Site. There are plenty of toilets and showers. They are cleaned everyday. There are three bathrooms to have a bath. There is play area for the children. A dog walking area to take your dogs. The pub is very nice with a real fire on. The people are all very nice and friendly and make you feel welcome. There are plenty of places to visit around the area. Penrith is not far to go for a walk around the shops.

 Helloooo, we are from New Zealand and just finished travelling around England and Wales (over 2 months). Arrived here and were greeted by a warm welcome. We tented for two nights and stayed in the camping pods for two more nights. Tenting was good. The pitches drained well and there was a great view of the valley below. However, some of the pitches were not very level, although, camping in winter we could tent wherever we wanted to. The majority of the pitches are on top of a hill, so when the wind picked up there was no shelter. The facilities were quite a walk from the pitches, but we didn't mind because its such a lovely site to walk around. The camping pods were great. Had a lamp and two heaters so we could get a bit of luxury, but still with the feel of camping. This site is right in the heart of the lakes district, not far from Lake ullswater, windermere, thirlmere. Also not far from Penrith if you need to pop to the supermarket. Great pub on site warm and a comfortable atmosphere.

 The not so quiet site. Booked Monday to Thursday and explained to the lady who I booked with that we were so looking forward to relaxing in the old bar by the fire with a few pints. She forgot to tell us that the bar is only open on Fridays and Saturdays? Then on Wednesday night a coach full of 18 year olds turned up and took over the bar/nightclub for a party and blasted the music out til 1am even though this site prides itself on curfew after 10pm. Lovely location but would certainly not return.

Reviewer: Gundigirl 2 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with great clean facilities, plenty of information available from reception/shop, some lovely walks to be had in the area or drive to other lakes, would definitely return to this site, there is a good laundry area and plenty of sinks for washing up, nice hard standing plots which do really require the heavy duty pegs if putting up an awning.

Reviewer: Cc43 20 reviews from this member

 The staff on this site were very friendly and helpful and the facilities are modern and clean. The views over Ullswater and the surrounding countryside are lovely.

There is no disabled toilet or shower, but there are two spacious bathrooms.

Once we are settled on a site, we prefer to use public transport or bikes to get around, rather than our motorhome - from this point of view the site's location isn't ideal but is manageable. There are several good walks directly from the site. To get further afield you have to go 1. 5 to 2 miles down (and back up) a fairly steep hill to reach the main road beside Ullswater. Once you are on the main road there is a good bus service and pleasant cycling.

There is one washing machine and one tumble dryer; maybe another one would have been useful as lots of families were staying.
