We just returned from camping and I must say that I was put-off. Our dog became loose from his lead (he is a very friendly flat coated retriever - will lick you to pieces) and sure enough at the same time 'Dear' Alison came around on her 'four wheelie' and she marched up to us and left me gob-smacked. She... More

We have just stayed for the long weekend at Fisherground and found the staff to be warm and welcoming with some jovial banter. In fact, the warden helped my sister-in-law and I to position the tent and hold it in place for a while when the winds were fierce. I thought the campsite was run well. A lot of reviews... More

We have been visiting Fisherground for many years and always had an excellent time with the previous owners, that has all changed now that Allison and Mick are 'In Charge' and beleive me they let you know about it! We all know the toilets/ showers/ sinks / facilities are basic their is a total lack of investment and capital expenditure... More

We stayed here with 2 friends as we were walking up Scafell Pike. Excellent location, only a short drive from the foot of Scafell. We followed the directions to the camp given from their website, and i would recommend them. Very straightforward to follow. Excellent camp site. Kept very clean.. The service block was regularly cleaned and always had toilet... More

It's such a shame that this campsite has attracted all this terrible negativity recently as it used to be an absolute gem of a campsite.The owners used to be absolutely lovely and would bend over backwards to make sure your experience was a fabulous one.However recently the long hours etc must be getting to them because Mick was very abrupt...

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fisherground campsite. We found the owners to keep very help and pleasant. The pitches were nicely position (although we were the only ones pitched as it was a mid week in October). The controlled campfires are excellent. The toilet/shower facilities are well maintained. The coin operated shower gave me plenty of time. If... More

Just had a wonderful short break at this campsite....it was a total joy. I'd read the other reviews and seen the negative ones and they just don't tie in with our experience. The wardens and owners were friendly and helpful (and also seemed to work 12hour+ days), the site was well kept and clean. We had a very pleasant pitch... More
