Our first trip out as members and we chose this wonderful site. We have a twin axle caravan and found the way in from Shap village a little tight, so went home via Askam. Although it was further and longer, the roads are much wider and much less stressful. The site is extremely well kept (bins, disposal point etc) with plenty pitch space. Single toilet that was very clean. Owners very friendly and helpful. They have fuel at their garage on site, which is a lot cheaper than anywhere else we saw. Haweswater is well worth a drive by (or walk) and at the end are three choices of walk, of varying lengths. Shap Abbey is beautiful, with a river to cool off for people or dogs. We tried the Punchbowl Pub at Askam - delicious food but very slow service. Shap chippy is great and there's a co op open til late if you run out of milk! We would definitely go back.
