 I have visited this site for each of the last 3 years and have never been disappointed by the facilities or the fantastic views along the Langdale valley.
Visited a few days ago for the first time this season and the farmer has been making some slight improvements - the lower field is now split in two to discourage people from driving right the way across it, in an attempt to avoid excess muddiness and he's also created a sort of 'entrance' to each field where he's put a load of slate down to create a hard path. This will also prevent the muddiness in wet weather.
He was also telling me he has been busy draining the bottom field to try to improve the drainage so hopefully it won't flood at all this year! fingers crossed! Still the same prices - £4 a head and £2 per car per night. Great site with clean toilets and excellent waste disposal facilities - couldn't ask for more for the price!

Had not planned to stay at this site, but having arrived at our bunkhouse in Chapel Stile to find it double booked, we had to urgently arrange some accommodation for a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Gold group + supervisors who were doing their first 'orientation' day of their expedition around this area.
The farmer was very accommodating and the site was fairly quiet, so there was more than enough space. As others have mentioned the lower end of the site does tend to get very boggy in the wet weather, so we pitched right at the top near the facilities and cooked out of the back of a transit van!
Quite a cold night, but the site was quiet after 10 and a good night was had by all. It can be a bit breezy on the site but otherwise we had a very pleasant stay. Stunning location and the views are outstanding - you can see so many stars on a clear night, it's wonderful!
Would definitely return again to this site!

Visited this site at least once a year for over 10 years, great site amazing walks and views.
Good value for money, warm showers, wash up area and clean toilets.
Close to Chapel Stile, Co Op and Wainwrights pub, a 10 minute drive to Stickle Barn pub great walk up behind to the Stickle Tarn.
The site can get boggy and wet in the bottom field but that's what camping is all about, the farmer is very helpful.

A great little site where you get what you pay for!
Location is great, there are lovely views from the site and nice little walks nearby. A short walk gets you to a pub, a shop and a post office.
The site is nothing fancy, its on a bit of a slope and the grass needed cutting.
When you arrive, you go to the farm house and pay for however long you want, you then go and find you pitch!
The showers/toilets are basic but clean and warm with hot water.
There was a butty van on site which was always a welcome sight on a morning!

This is a good site in a very pleasant location. There are two excellent pubs within walking distance. The owners are very helpful, and the facilities are excellent.
However, the site is just too accessible. What I mean by this is that it is too close to Ambleside, and it suffers from having too many large tents and family groups. There's nothing wrong with that if it's what you like, but I prefer more isolated places that are quieter.
The site does get very busy, and this is probably due to people being turned away from the even more popular Great Langdale National Trust site. This would be a decent place to go in winter when there are no crowds of people.

Stayed here on the bank holiday weekend late August, we had originally planned to go to the NT site but it was full when we arrived on the Thursday at 6pm!
Owners were very friendly and helpful. When we first arrived here we had no cash and they let us stay the first night on an IOU. Reasonably priced. Worked out at £10 a night (£4 per adult & £2 per car).
Field was quite muddy as there had been rain before we arrived. We pitched down in one of the bottom fields. There was a walk to the shower / toilet block but it was only about 400m. They put some chemical toilets down on the lower fields which was really helpful.
Shower & toilet facilities were very basic, but were kept reasonable clean. The showers got very muddy at busy times of the day (in the morning and early evening). I showered in my flip flops to keep my feet clean. There were also queues at these times of the day. The showers were cleaned regularly though. When I showered in the afternoon one day they were very clean.
Views were amazing. It is a very good location for walking.
There is a no noise policy after 10:30pm and this was adhered to.
Pub down the road (Wainwrights Inn) is within walking distance. It got very busy over the weekend, but the food was ok and the beer was good!
I would like to try the NT site over this site next time but I would happily come back if it was full again.

Arrived late for the NT site and used Chapel Stile as Plan B. A vast site, but like the NT site can become really busy. Reasonable price and shower facilities on site. Although, depending on where you pitch it can be quite a trek! The site was boggy in the rain, so beware stepping on the frogs! Also the lane down the centre of the site is harshly raised, and many people were catching their car's front valance on the rise.
A real good location if you want to enjoy the walking.

Really friendly owners, good value site, great views and some fantastic walking right from the campsite.
The site was reasonably busy but still we had tons of space around us and it was nice and quiet at night. All of the people staying there seemed pretty like-minded and it felt very friendly.
We chose a field near to the main house (& loos/showers) which had a slight slope (but we picked it deliberately because of this as it was so rainy and we wanted to make sure we didn't end up in a bog after the forecast storms overnight!).
The facilities were nice and clean and although there weren't many showers, I never had to queue.
The area is beautiful and there are a few places to eat & drink within walking distance.
In the mornings, we could buy bacon butties from a van which was a pleasant bonus!

Beautiful location with the Langdale Pikes almost looming over you.
We were unlucky enough to have the very wet and windy weekend. Some of the fields became unusable due to excessive water-logging, fortunately we had picked a good spot, but lots of others had to pick up and move their tents.
Plenty of room.
As previously mentioned the wash basins are at a ridiculous height, it really made me giggle when I saw them.
The entrance to the site is a little difficult to spot from the lane and also tricky to exit as you can't see out properly, they have put a mirror opposite to help with this.
Price - very good value, £4 per adult, £2 per car.
Pleasant walk down to the pub, either along the river bank or down the lane.
Good walks of all levels to be had straight from the site, which suited us.
I would definitely go back.

We stayed at Chapel Stile campsite on the last bank holiday, so have too apologise first for taking so long to send my review. But I have only just recovered from all the walking hee hee.
We were very lucky to manage to get a pitch but the owners were really friendly and let us stay, even though they were nearly full. The cost was only £10 pound per tent (inc.Car and 2 adults) and thats a bargain on bank holiday.
It was a mix of people, families and youths having a good time but still felt safe and comfy (The snorer in the tent next door kept me up more hee hee)
The views and the walks were spectacular and the shop in the town was friendly and helpful.
The showers. Well. If you forget about the long walk if you do not pitch early and get close and you dont mind the even longer ques I am sure you wont mind having a clean luke warm shower. But there is always the brook.
Not bothered about one way traffic, late night noise and snorers or sheep poo. Its a camp site its great and I will stay again and again.
Hope you find my review helpful may hear you there in the summertime. Thanks for a great weekend Chapel Stile rocks.
