A great site, and a decent pub a short walk up the road. If you can't be bothered to walk there sometimes you get to ride in the back of the big truck they use to shuttle campers to and from the pub!

Going to the peaks this weekend
Ditto! Can't wait for Friday evening to roll round, sat outside the tent with a beer in hand!
Me and the mrs have just got into camping and just had a long weekend there. We were near Pooly Bridge and right next to the water. Lovely place.

Done a fair bit of camping but a few stand outs for me
Clachtoll Beach campsite - West coast Scotland. Beautiful surroundings, fairly basic but very clean facilities
Red Squirrel campsite - Glencoe. Again stunning site lots of outdoorsy stuff to do. Good facilities.
Castlerigg Hall Campsite - Keswick. Cracking views over the Derwent water, short walk into the centre. Facilities are awesome on site too.

must have been the same place or at least very close. Pooly Bridge is a nice little village. Was unbelievably clean when we went. Like something from a movie set.
If you're looking to head up Scafell Pike, then the Great Langdale campsite is a good option - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/holidays/great-langdale-campsite-lake-district
You get to go up Scafell Pike from a different route to 99% of other walkers, approaching it from east whilst also doing 5-6 other peaks on route.
There's a load of peaks you can do from the campsite as it's the last bit of civilisation until you get over the other end of the valley and down the other side. There's a pub across the road too...

Scotland is a proper wilderness. There is hardly anyone for miles. Just go there.
At this very moment I'm on my first solo wild camp lying in the tent. Have always gone with the Mrs but she's let me off the leash for this one. Can't stand campsites personally, I like the isolation you get with wild camping.
Brecon Beacons by a lake, just me, can't see a soul.
Still just about get a phone signal (drops in and out) so not totally out in the sticks I suppose!
I do like Dartmoor as well.
Just a shame they're so far from London but still well worth the trip.

Depends on the campsite. I've found some really good ones. Just need to pick your time to go. Enjoy your night!
