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 apparently incapable of answering straightforward questions and was full of feeble, irrelevant excuses for his incompetance. Would not recommend, will not book there again. Much nicer campsites with more helpful and friendlier staff elsewhere in the lakes for the same price despite what they say!
