Just had the bank holiday weekend at Breaks Fold Farm just by Thruscross resevoir, up the hill from Blubberhouses. Bit of a struggle up the 21% hill, but slow and steady wins the day... Campsite was apparently getting full, but there was loads of space. Fires off the ground allowed (a must) and a nice walk down to the reservoir. Pretty basic, with not much in walking distance - but that's fine. The owner was a really nice guy too. http://www.breaksfoldfarm.co.uk I've just moved back to Yorkshire after 20 years away, so it is nice to find some local spots.
I have heard good things about both of those - thanks for the tips Are fires allowed at both? And no neat lines of organised tents/caravans please!!
