“Have stayed at Grizedale camp site (Bowkerstead Farm)...”

Written on: 25/10/2010 by Carly Halliwell (1 review written)

Have stayed at Grizedale camp site (Bowkerstead Farm) twice with a group of friends (once in a pod and once in a Yurt) and both times have been an amazing camping experience. The owner of the site will go out his way to ensure you have a good time. A genuinely lovely man. Yurts are well worth the price especially in winter. Luxary in a forest! The owner allows camp fires which adds to the 'proper' camping experience, fire wood can be bought from the farmer. The shower and toilet facilities... (read more)

“Having only been camping as a boy and living in London...”

Written on: 28/05/2010 by pete the feet (1 review written)

Having only been camping as a boy and living in London I never thought I would stray from the comfort of my hotel. Then a move to the North East later in life (I am 44) opened my eyes to the beauty of the North East and North West the Lakes specifically. A work colleague suggested Grizdale and Bowkerstead Farm. Now on the drive there passing a number of for want of a better word pretty but sterile camp sites you arrive at Bowkerstead farm and are met by Arthur and a nicer fella you won't... (read more)

“The owner is incredably helpful and friendly. ”

Written on: 01/11/2009

The owner is incredably helpful and friendly.

It's beautifully located, and handy for allsorts of activitys (cycling, walking, riding, running, kayaking, orienteering, Go Ape, Grizedales famous sculptures, etc etc)

The site has free showers, toilets, and washing up area, which are kept very clean.

You can camp in the woods or down on the field, and fires are allowed, providing you don't take wood from the surronding area (dead wood is needed for the wood to survive), you can buy wood on... (read more)

“Booked a pitch at Grizedale Campsite 8 months in...”

Written on: 20/09/2009

Booked a pitch at Grizedale Campsite 8 months in advance, double checked it 2 weeks before leaving and was told it was all reserved for us. Turned up after a 6 hour drive to find our pitch was taken by someone else and the owner I had booked the pitch through did nothing about it. Was fobbed off with the excuse "there are events on this weekend, you won't be able to get a space on another campsite". Had camped here before, was very disappointed that the owner was very unhelpful and was... (read more)

“Location beautiful at Grizedale Campsite Bowkerstead...”

Written on: 28/06/2009 by mikie gregg

Location beautiful at Grizedale Campsite Bowkerstead Farm. Showers free and clean, toilets clean, small river running through, brill for the kids to play in , or just for us grown ups to cool off in... the wooded areas were also great for the kids to explore......... Very friendly and helpful owner, being able to have a fire was an essential for us, and were even supplied with a metal brasier in which to have a fire.. (read more)

“Very Helpfull owner and his wife at Grizedale Campsite...”

Written on: 22/05/2009 by cthep (1 review written)

Very Helpfull owner and his wife at Grizedale Campsite Bowkerstead Farm. very relaxed atmosphere especially in the wooded area where you can have an open fire. Great night time atmosphere though occassionally you do get some 'Twits' who make so much noise it ruins it for everyone else, though in my experience, and we have been there several times now it goes quiet round about midnight to one a.m We don't let the occassional muppet get us down though, its as close to nature as we have got so...
