 Just stayed for a weekend and were blessed with some of the best weather of the year so far. Although I think the owners are hoping for rain as water reserves are getting low.
We stayed with 5 other friends and our dog without any problem on this big site. There must have been more than 50 tents in total by Saturday night but noise was not a problem and we did not have to wait for showers or toilets.
The toilet/shower/washing up block was robust (built to last) and clean with a basic but warm showers. For the price paid we were more than happy.
Just by the bridge over the stream (on the way in to the site) the water is deep enough to jump in and have a paddle after a warm day on the fells. Very refreshing.
Overall a well priced, spacious and clean site. Will definitely stay again.
One suggestion, the lower fields could do with a drinking water tap.

This is an excellent site, the facilities are very good and clean. There is a van selling breakfast at weekends which we think is a great idea.
There is plenty of room to pitch a tent as it seems to cover about 4 fields. There is a very good shop and pub close by in the Village of Chapel Style and a little further a good pub in Elterwater.
Above all of this the farmer is very pleasant and helped us out when we ran out of oil in the car which we were extremely grateful for. Also the views of Langdale valley are superb and there is walking all around you.
We totally recommend this site !

Great camp site, good price £4 adult £2 car
Owner very helpful but busy on farm
(Keep working on noise level not to much of a problem though)
Plenty of room and short grass.
Well behaved dogs allowed
Managed a whole week at this site with out taking the car out - plenty of walking.
The snack van did open once while we were there on the Sunday morning and did a good trade in bacon butties
Ps Turn up temp on showers a little.

As like most others we were redirected to this campsite as NT closed due to water leak. We were very pleasantly surprised and stayed for 10 days.
The campsite did get very busy especially on Saturdays but the two that we were there for, there were big events locally and the weather was fantastic.
We will definitely consider this campsite over the NT one - which having revisited during our stay seemed small, scruffy & unkempt.
I would agree with the need for flip-flops in the shower but then its something I'd always consider as some people insist on wearing muddy hiking boots into the wet shower area - never a good mix.
The owners were always pleasant and friendly and the small surcharges for things like ice block refreezing is given to the local mountain rescue.

What a great campsite, like most others we were too late for the NT site, and was directed here. It is a very pleasant site, we managed to pitch up in the higher field so avoided the trek to the facilities, which included very clean toilets and very high wash basins. Good walks are accessible from the site and 2 good pubs with easy reach. The butty van was very tempting but we did resist. Would definitely think about staying again, but need to arrive early as this sit was also full on Friday and Saturday night.

Discovered this site by accident on the way to the NT site.
Owner was really helpful and warned us of boggy areas, but we managed to find a reasonably solid pitch in one of the top fields.
The location is great with lovely views of the hills. Set well back from the main road through Chapel Stile, there's not much noise from through traffic.
Saturday night was busy, but the 'no noise after 10.30pm' and 'no music' policy seemed to be adhered to, even by the more lively groups. There is also a 'no single-sex groups of more than 3 people' policy and one about no bbqs after 8.30pm (if I remember rightly).
A few older reviews here complained about the rubbish area, but we didn't see evidence of this being a problem. There is a recycling area that cuts down on the amount of actual refuse.
Facilities were adequate for our needs, but could get busy later on in the morning - grab a shower early! Take a pair of flip flops to shower as they can get pretty dirty! I suspect water flow and temperature possibly fluctuates depending on whether they're all in use or not, but I certainly found them hot. There are hooks on the sides of the shower cubicles, but they're very high up. Toilets were clean with a powerful flush! The sinks are very high up - I'm 5'2' and struggled to wash my face but hey, what do you want for £4 a night!
Wainwright pub in Chapel Stile sells food and real ales. Food was pretty bog standard pub fare that I thought was a bit overpriced, as was the beer at £3.10 a pint, but I am from Yorkshire! The village shop has the usual necessities, but again expensive so don't depend on it. The Britannia Inn at Elterwater also does good food.
There is a butty van which is 'open when its open'!
Will definitely return to this site, with my flip flops, and would certainly recommend it.

Just got back from bayesbrown farm. Gound it too be really good with two large fields split down the middle by a river. Would recommend staying on the top field near the farm house and shower/toilet block if your in a tent like we were, because when it rains as it was when we went the bottom field floods. There was a butty van near the house but cant comment as didn't try it.
It cost me and my girlfriend £20 for two nights which we thought was really good. The road into the site an up too the farm house is terrible(full of potholes). The scenery is beautiful you can see right down the valley. There is a shop just around the corner which we found reasonably priced, and just round the corner from that is the pub which is good as well. The toilets an shower block are clean and big enough for the site, only had too queue for the shower once.

We arrived Easter Bank Holiday Monday, the site was very busy. But as the week went on, it became a lot quieter until there was a few tents on site! We pitched at the top against the wall, so near all the failities, which were cleaned everyday - free hot showers. The site is generously spread out over 3 large fields. In previous reviews people mentioned that it was at least a 5 minute walk to the showers etc. Yes it is if you decide to pitch right at the bottom of the site - which if it were to rain and not stop, will get very boggy!
The scenery is absolutely spectacular and you don't need to get into a car to find some good walks, if you walk through the farm there is a track which runs almost alongside the river. It takes you to Dungeon Ghyll Hotel - where you can get a hearty breakfast! There is also the Sticklebarn Inn where we had lunch, good value for money and the chicken in a sourdough bun is massive and absolutely delicious! The Wainwrights' Inn is ok, but it was very busy, if you're not there for when the restaurant opens (which we didn't know) you'll be queuing for a long time! The quality of food didn't represent the price, you are packed in like sardines too! And it wasn't even high season, but hey just because we didn't like it, doesn't mean other's won't!
There isn't a shop on site but a 10 minute walk away is Chapel Stile Co-Op which also has a Cafe upstairs which serves breakfast and afternoon teas. If you pick up the riverside path which is lovely a flat you'll come to the Britannia Inn at Elterwater, this is lovely and reasonably priced, we preferred this to Wainwrights'! The walk continues right to Ambleside and the flat so if you have a pushchair or young ones it's a good one to do and you'll be rewarded with the spectacular Skelwith Force!

Just got back from this campsite - it was a welcome relief after failing to get in at the NT site further on. So good in fact that I doubt I'll try the other site if there are vacancies at this one!
The pluses -
Loads of open space,
Owner very helpful and hassle free, good size toilet and shower block - the site wasn't full, bit is was by no means quiet either - but no queues all weekend.
Hot drinks and sarnies served in the morning.
The negatives -
Biting insects! The site is surrounded by water; bring insect repellent / bite cream - you will need it
Finally, avoid Wainwrights Inn; food is overpriced & best described as average at best and service is terrible. Kitchen closed at 8.20 (not 9.00 as indicated in menu).

We stayed here twice last year and found it to be a secret gem. The views, the location, the feeling of this site is amazing.
The site does have its downsides, the drainage was terrible and the fields were exceptionally boggy when it rained however reading reviews from this year it looks like the farmer is doing about this.
The lower fields are a long distance from the shower and toilet facilities so if you get caught short you will have a long distance to run.
The ups are that this is in an ideal location to appreciate the lakes and the surrounding mountains. We will be going back that's for sure!
