 Fantastic place, definitely going back again.
Went for the long Easter weekend and site was busy, wardens keep the site really clean. Bins emptied every hour, showers/toilets cleaned regularly.
Plenty of places to walk from the site, the local pub about 10 minute walk, shop is about half an hour walk, up a couple of hills.
Plenty for our 10 year old to do, we hardly saw him all weekend, he did get very wet though!
Only complaint - the freezer for ice packs could be bigger, finding your blocks when everyone had rummaged through for theirs was not much fun.

What a campsite, we went here last year with another family and had the best time we have had camping.
Miniature railway that stops at the campsite was fantastic, kids loved it when they got the chance to blow the whistle for the inspector.
We arrived and the kids couldn't wait to get on the adventure playground, and in the pond, we had the tents pitched and everything set up next to the wheel rims for campfires, which is a great touch and really makes the difference to a good camping experience.
Cant wait to go back this year, definitely a site you want to return to once you have been.

Visited with 4 adults and 4 kids between 6 and 11.Do not follow sat nav use a map.We were greeted on approach and told to go and pitch wherever we like and sort out payment later,which I thought was nice.
Each pitch has a wheel hub for fires and you can buy logs off some local bloke who arrives at about 5 each night. Lots for the kids to do including zip wire and a little knee high pond with big tyres on to push around with poles(take swimming costumes and plenty clothes for kids).
Toilets cleaned regularly and well maintained.4 wash basins for cutlery are under an outside canopy.Little train stops at bottom of site that you can get around on.Good base for some walks. No shop on site,about a 5 min drive to shop.
Train or 20 min walk to nearest pub.Locals put a stall on site and do bacon butties an little cakes on a saturday morning for charity.When 10.30 arrives the wardens come around and tell you to turn off music each night, but we sat around the fire talking and having a glass of wine till midnight with no bother.

We stayed for two weeks in August 2010 and overall enjoyed the site.
There are many good points to the site. The facilities are first rate and clean; the open fires are an excellent novelty; the play area is excellent and of course the location, is well, breath taking. This is also one of the only sites that I found in the Lakes that allowed advanced booking.
Prices are reasonable. There is a surcharge for large tents. I think, it was for tents with 6 berths or more.
However, recently added car parking is tight, especially if your fellow campers are inconsiderate parkers. The closing of the barrier at 9:00pm does restrict your activities somewhat. However, I can understand why. The curfew wasn't rigidly applied.And some nights I wished it was!
Like many visitors, I found the stressing of rules, overpowering at first. Especially, as they weren't evenly applied. However, an additional rule of 'no ball games' near tents would have been useful, as my tent was hit many times by inconsiderate neighbours.
Although this seems negative it isn't.
This is an excellent camp site and one I would visit again.

The sign into Fisherground was not clear. Wasn't sure if to turn left or go straight on.
No one was in the reception.
The site was well set out and facilities were clean.
We were unable to take our car onto the grass and it took me twice as long to set up.
Most of the staff were friendly.
I don't agree that we had to pay for a shower this ended up costing me an extra £2.50 a day.
The 10.30pm quiet time was a bit strict.
Could do with asking the village shop to open a site shop.
Train trip was nice and walk to to top of the hill is recommended.

Fantastic site for kids. The playground was great for our 10 & 12 year olds, we hardly saw them all week. Open fires every night in the firepits was great. The toilet and shower block were clean although a bit dated. There is free freezer for ice packs which is a nice touch. Nice pub within walking distance that does great meals.Stunning surroundings and a great site with friendly helpful owners. The only downside is the extra charge of £5 a night for tents over 6 man this is a charge they should do away with as some 5 man tents are just as big. That said we will be returning next year.

Excellent site in a beautiful location. Very friendly and helpful staff, water points located conveniently throughout the site, toilet & shower blocks clean and kept clean at least 2-3 times a day. It is a large site and so when it was busy at the weekend it did feel like it was heaving at full capacity. There are old tractor rims spread across the campsite where you can make your campfires and logs are available for sale every evening from a vehicle going round the campsite. They also let an ice cream van come round most evenings that did a roaring trade. We used the site as a base to climb Scafell Pike and waling in the Eskdale area.Lastly the children's playground was a great attraction for our kids. The kids will get wet and muddy there, so be prepared.

We and our friends have just stayed at FG campsite. The site is situated in a beautiful valley with wonderful views of mountains and ridges near and far. There is a small ridge on the site which takes about 30 mins and is a steep but short climb, the view from the top is great. The site is quite remote so take your walking boots. The site was very busy when we visited, and very noisy from sun rise! There is a rule about no noise after 10.30pm (not too strictly enforced), a rule about no noise before 7am would have been welcomed.
The site facilities were clean and fine to use, however we had to queue for toilets / sinks / showers and it felt like there too few loos for the number of people they had let on the site. £1 for six mins in a hot clean shower, it was worth the wait. The site is costly and there are a lot of rules. The owners will charge you for everything, cars, dogs, 6 man tents and visitors all demand that you open your pocket and part with more of your hard earned cash, on top of your site fee.
The children’s play area was wonderful for older children, not a great deal for my 3 year old to do, but older kids will have a ball. The pool is a wonderful rustic play area which really brought the older children together who probably wouldn't have spoken to each other otherwise. My 3 year old enjoyed playing in the stream instead. The small train was cute and efficient and the local pubs were great. Despite my moans I would go back, because it is a beautiful and well situated site, but maybe not in this time of austerity!

This camp site was everything you could hope for. As my 9 year old put it 'breath taking scenery!' fantastic adventure playground for the kids complete with rafting pond. The boys even used this area in the rain as it is amongst trees and quite protected. The showers are 50p and it was only for about 3 mins - I needed 2 x 50p for a reasonable shower where I could shampoo, condition and defuzz.
King Gerorge IV is about a 5 min walk away - we had a meal there and was pleasantly surprised - not a large choice but what was there was served quickly in quantity and tasted good. I ate too much!
Shop is a 25 min walk over the fell - ask Mick for directions. It sells most things but is a bit expensive.
Railway is worth a trip, although there is not much to do at either end.
I would definitely go back and will tell others about it.

Myself, my partner and two sons visited Fisherground Camp site at the beginning of August for 6 nights. We arrived on a Monday afternoon and was greeted by Alison, whom explained that we could pitch anywhere other than in areas where the grass was still yellow. We found a nice pitch and set up our tent etc up. The Warden came around later to see if everything was ok and then Alison came along later to collect monies from us, which was £118 for 6 night for 4 people. Alison explained that fires where only allowed in the fire pits provided, but there where plenty of these around the site, so it was not difficult to pitch near to one.
The shower/toilets and washing area was kept clean and tidy by the wardens which was extremely difficult due to the amount of rain we had each night.
My sons loved the camp site, the pond, adventure playground and playing field being excellent for them to play in and make friends. There was never a day when they did not have some friends to play with.
The campsite is noisy on a evening with all the children playing and enjoying themselves but at 10:30, everyone kept to the rules and it went quiet.
The local shop is well stocked and the owner is very friendly.
Will be visiting again next year.
