Great site, good location and well maintained
Fantastic site, quiet, very well kept by friendly and welcoming wardens. Clean facilities, grey water disposal very easy to use. Good location for access to Ennerdale Water, Cockermouth, St Bees Head and the coast. Local pub within walking distance. Great for cycling and walking, will definitely stay again.
Great stay, nice and peaceful
Great site immaculately kept by hardworking wardens who are very nice.
Handy for west lakes.
Probably not suited to those with children as nowhere for them to play.
Can't fault the site it was perfect for us.
A Little Gem!!
We have never been to this site before but we will certainly be returning. The managers, Sue and Brian, are a so friendly and keep the site looking immaculate. There is a length limit of 7.5m but if you phone ahead and check availability, there are a number of pitches that can accommodate larger outfits. There is no toilet block here or play area so I'm not sure how families would fare. That said, it is in a beautiful location with plenty of walks from the site and three Wainwrights within striking distance. There are no shops nearby and there doesn't appear to be a regular bus service. The nightly rate was around £21 for two adults - better than many CL's price wise. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.
Quite a find
We stayed 7 nights here in our motorhome in August 2023. A lovely, peaceful and very attractive site, which has a very reasonable nighty rate due to having no toilet block, (comparable to the rate charged by many CLs actually). The wardens were very pleasant and our spaniel loved the dog agility course they had built in the dog field. The location was away from the often manic bustle of the main Lake district venues, but close enough to access Keswick and other popular areas if you so wish. Although there are some areas to the west coast which reflect the deprivation some of these communities experience, we had 2 lovely days at St Bees and found some really attractive and quiet little spots driving up Cumbria's north west coast. Our only negative was trying to find a pitch that was anything like level! Even on the top of levelling blocks we were climbing Cat Bells Inside the motorhome! Surely the pitches could have been dug out a little more levels than they have? However, we survived and yes, we'd go back again.
Weeks Break
We have just spent a week at this lovely peaceful site. Never having visited this part of the lakes we saw some lovely places. Whitehaven with its lovely marina, Ennerdale water with fantastic views of the hills surrounding the lake, Cockermouth with its riverside walk under the castle, St Bees to name a few. Just something to be aware of if using car parks in the towns is that the car parks are now giving you only 10 minutes to buy your parking ticket before getting fined, and Keswick only allows you 5 minutes to get your parking ticket before being fined. As a final point the only downside to the site was the speeding of a couple of vehicles which though it was a speed tract. In fact one night I was nearly run down whilst walking from our caravan to our friends caravan, The person which was driving this vehicle was doing in excess of the 5 mph stated on signs and the road and nearly hit me, he did not slow down but kept going till he got to his van. This was witnessed by our friends who could not believe what they were seeing. It was disgraceful and because of this I spoke to the warden and advised them what had happened. I do not know if he was spoken to but I hope he was.

Lovely site, not the best area
We have just spent 8 nights at this very peaceful site. The wardens were lovely and we couldn't fault it. There are no facilities which is why I gave a low rate for cleanliness. If there was anything to criticise it would be seasonal pitches. We counted 11 of them and everyone had an empty caravan on it. It seemed deserted with only half of the touring pitches occupied, mostly with motorhomes/ Campervans staying one night. We had a lovely pitch and really enjoyed our stay but we didnt like the west coast. We found ourselves driving inland to the nicer parts of the lake district which we have done before. We wouldn't go back because of the area but the site was great for us, if we could move it but then it would cost a lot more.
Perfect, peaceful site.
We had 3 lovely nights at Dockray Meadow visiting friends in Lamplugh. It is very peaceful with lovely pitches. There are some good walks from site, particularly the walk up to Cogra Moss reservoir where the dogs enjoyed a little swim. The wardens were friendly & helpful & the service points were spotlessly clean. The site doesn’t have a toilet block or children’s playground, so probably less appealing to families, but it was perfect for us & the dogs!
Tranquil site
Very friendly wardens, lovely, well maintained site. Saw my first red squirrel here! Great site to break a long journey at!
Nice, site
The site in General was nice, the walks and the rounding area are very beautiful, and the scenic view were also lovely
The only down side was the warden was very protective of pitch 44, and it was reserved, for what I don't know, as my unit was large, and every thing that used that pitch after being told it was reserved was of a smaller size, so baffled as to why, but that didn't stop my enjoyment of the site, so all on all it was a nice site, and well worth the visit
