Another wonderful trip to this site. This was our second trip here in a few weeks. It is very handy for Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. The site itself is peaceful, the facilities are well maintained and the hosts are very friendly.
We had another couple of fun nights with a campfire roaring and loads of safe space for the kids to run around and play.

Lovely campsite - peaceful, well-maintained, and welcoming. The facilities are simple but some of the cleanest I’ve come across while camping! The quiet location meant that our second night was blessed with a stunning view of the stars. Would return, would recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This campsite is absolutely wonderful! It’s the perfect base for exploring the area, with breathtaking views all around. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, and I’ve never felt as safe on a campsite as I did here. The toilets are spotless, the showers are hot, and the overall hygiene is excellent. We’re already looking forward to coming back this weekend

We absolutely loved this campsite, such a lovely space, with lots of room between tents. Clean toilets and hot showers. We had many a happy evening around the firepit as a family. It is a very relaxed, kid friendly site. Only a short drive to some lovely beaches, Great Orme, Conwy Castle and more! The hosts are wonderfully kind people, great with recommendations, freezing our ice packs and even jump starting our car! Highly recommend this site, we will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great family holiday.

We had an amazing family holiday at this beautiful campsite. Loved sitting around the campfire in the evening, tents really well spaced out. Clean hot showers and toilets. Hidden gem, secluded and a great base with a short car journey to lots of lovely beaches, Conwy Castle, Great Orme and so much more. The hosts, are wonderfully friendly and very kind and helpful, gave us lots of great recommendations, froze our ice packs and even jump started our car, which we very much appreciated! We highly recommend this campsite and will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Lovely spot.
Great facilities, all clean and working perfectly.
Lots of room between pitches so you don't feel on top of one another.
The camp fires are a lovely additional touch too.
Would definitely stay here again in the future!

We had an amazing time camping with Beirhope Alpacas. We stayed for 6 nights on the Woodland adventure pitch (two adults and 3 kids under 5) and here's how it went:
The pitch itself was easy to navigate, very private and large enough to fit several smaller tents and still have room for the fire pit and sitting area. There is also a fence and gate near the entrance which gave us peace of mind. The kids loved the little Fairy hideout in the trees just next to the clearing.
The eco toilet, outdoor sink and bucket shower were always very clean and tidy. The directions for the amenities and trash receptacles were easy to understand and clearly posted.
The Campers corner had plenty of shelf stable food for purchase like oatmeal cups, fruit shoots and eggs, aswell as firewood and mini BBQs. There is also a small fridge for campers to share to keep basics cold like milk and butter.
We did not come for the Alpacas, but the kids loved feeding them carrots and learning about them. I really appreciated that there wasn't any pressure to book any of the excursions with the Alpacas, so it was all very stress free and relaxing.
The hosts, Lynne and Alan, plus their team were spectacular. They were quick to respond to messages, happy to accommodate our needs and extremely pleasant to chat with. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us and deserve all the praise.
We will absolutely be back, not only for the beautiful views, but also for the company of Lynne and the Team.

Bierhope Alpacas is one of the kind. The site is great, away from any modern living noise. The host, Lynne, is absolutely amazing, we felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. She honestly felt like family, nothing was too much trouble and she was very accommodating. The pitches are clean and very big. Clean facilities, alpacas, and the honesty shop has everything you might have forgotten..... And ice cream!!! What I'm trying to say is this is one of the best camp sites we have visited and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a lovely campsite. The location is peaceful, the fields are spacious and there is a good distance between tents. The fire pits and availability of wood is a very nice touch. The hosts are great, really helpful and friendly. Facilities are clean and in nice condition. We have been back and will return.

3 nights at wildwood quarry retreat
We stayed in the Oak cabin. Both cabins are pretty identical. Absolutely fantastic stay with an amazing location and stunning views. Unfortunately we didn't have the best weather but that was ok because we had all the facilities we needed to cook, clean and relax.
Super easy access to nearby towns if wanting to venture off to find stuff to do.
The outdoor bath was a really nice touch as well. Felt so relived and stress free not having to think about the daily grind for a few nights.
Couldn't recommend Wildwood Quarry Retreat enough!!
Thanks a lot Colin. :)

Brie hope Alpacas is fantastic! We didn’t go for the alpacas but they were a lovely addition to our trip nonetheless. The Woodland Wonder pitch is absolutely fantastic, really big and private space for ourselves and friends. The facilities are very clean and while they are basic have everything you need for an easy stay. The outdoor washing sink was a brilliant facility for us as we are used to washing our dishes in a little washing bowl on the floor with cold water. It was quite luxurious as camping goes!

This buzzy little town is a short hop from the northern shores of Lake Windermere and the perfect location from which to hike up Red Screes, amble along Ambleside high street or go canoeing on Lake Windermere. We've searched high in the hills and out across the valleys to pick our selection of the best camping and glamping sites near Ambleside.
