Just spent two nights at Side Farm Patterdale, great location and views overlooking Ullswater. A gem of a site, owners very friendly and amenities very good. everything within close walking distance. I will revisit and thanks Andrea for a cracking weekend. Kwikkat Level 50 club.

Stayed at Side Farm in August for 2 nights. On arrival paid the £8 per night and you are given a pass to put in your car. (I think £8 per night now in the Lake District is very reasonable). The camping field is down a bumpy track so take car driving down. There is no flat ground on the... More

Walking the C to C this was the most expensive campsite at £8 (next expensive £6 least £2.50) THERE IS NO FLAT GROUND (sorry to shout) on the site this in spite of the fact that in order to get there we passed some flat ground. The site needs to be terraced or moved. If you are trying yo camp... More

Have never been camping before and well everything you read about camping is true, it wasn't very comfy, and I was uncomfortably all the time, and was always being bitten, but hey, i read that I what would happen. The site was great, we pitched our tent (after 3 hours of confusion on how to assemble it) right by the... More

This is the second time i've stayed on this site, and each time i've found it to be clean but very basic. The views from the site are fantastic and despite the basic facilities, it is worth staying their just for the scenery. The downside to our stay on this visit was the amount of noise on site with dogs... More

This camp site is amazing meaning the veiws. There is one bad point that is if you cant get a place at the top you have to pitch up on a slop and you feel yourself slipping down the hill at night. Apart from that the camp site is clean and well maintained.

When we came to side farm this was our first ever camping trip and I am not usally a camping type!! I found this camping site lovely. The views from your tent were amazing and yes the site was basic but I couldn't fault the welcome you are given and how helpfull the owners are. We were only sopposed to... More

I'd read that Side Farm accepts camper vans so we trundled down their very bumpy road, negotiated the tight bends and gate and got onto the camping field. We eventually found perhaps the one and only level spot to park the van; goodness knows how the folk in the tents got on, every one of them was pitched at a... More

The campsite is down a farm track, but so long as you go slow I can't see how this would be a problem, my small fiesta handled it fine so I'm sure most cars will be fine. It's in a great location for walking, and perfect for going up Helvellyn as you can go up to "hole-in-the-wall" from the other... More
