4 nights at The Damson Shepherd's Hut
We stayed here for 4 nights and it was absolutely perfect, exactly what we were hoping for......just to be able to relax, read and take in the peaceful surroundings.
The site was beautiful and the shepherds hut was very well equipped, clean and cosy.
Jo was a fantastic host, checking us in supplying umbrellas due to the rain!. She was not in anyway intrusive but available if we needed anything.
If you are looking as we were for a break in a secluded area this is the place for you. Although the roads to the site are small and in some cases singal track, we were not put off by this, it added to the seclusion we were looking for. Just sheep for company!
Thank you Jo for a lovely stay, we 100% recommend Gilpin Mill's shepherds hut and will definitely be returning for a longer stay next time.

Ted was a kind, friendly host and the campsite was wonderful. Only issue was having just one toilet but it’s not really a big deal as we’re used to wild camping, just one more would be great though. Absolutely beautiful scenery, a nice quiet site with a stunning view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again :)

We had the most amazing 3 nights staying at Ted's campsite! The views were incredible, we went to bed and woke up every morning surrounded by fells. We rented a fire pit from Ted which was great and kept us warm into the evening. We walked to a lovely pub Dufton and did some lovely walks right from our tent. Meeting Ted was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so helpful and generous. We hitchhiked from Newcastle so were without a car and Ted offered us a lift around the area many times! He even took us to a chocolate factory - his generosity and kindness was so wonderful and greatly appreciated! If you want a camp that makes you feel like you are wilding camping with amazing views and an even more amazing host then this is the place! Thanks Ted you make our trip :)

Beautiful small, quiet campsite, set in picturesque countryside. Perfect for families or couples looking to unwind. The communal shower and toilet facilities are modern, well maintained and clean. You can charge your phone's and power banks up in the facilities building too. There is a cafe on site too.
The friendly campsite warden was particularly helpful. We only stayed one night on this occasion but we'll probably use this site for longer stays in the future

I honestly can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay. Ruth has created something so special, it was genuinely the best camping experience we’ve had.
It truly felt like we were wild camping. Surrounded by wild flowers, nature and trees, even the walk to the toilet was picturesque with incredible views. We had our own secluded area with no neighbours. Ruth has thought of everything, from games and blankets, to being able to buy eggs from her own chickens, there is nothing she hasn’t thought of.
We’ll definitely be returning.
Best camping experience ❤️

We have just had a wonderful weekend here, and it wasn’t just because of the weather! The facilities are perfect here, clean toilets, children’s park, washing up area, charging stations, honesty shed which was wonderful! Coffee machine and fridge and freezer! Everything we need for a young family with me pregnant! So amazing that we’re booking for 5 weeks time and again a few weeks later!
