Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Good level pitch. Very clean facilities. Beautiful surroundings. Very useful cabin with tables & chairs and sofas. Also microwave, kettles and toaster. Close to plenty of places to visit. Aira Force is definitely with a visit.

Disliked: We were there over a bank holiday weekend so the site was very busy and understandably the facilities were a bit stretched. Also our hook up plug was a long way from the pitch - a bit of a stretch.

Local attractions

Ullswater is the nearest of the lakes at 10 minutes’ drive away, so that’s as good a place to start as any – stop by at Aira Force waterfall on your way down there, then get down to the lake itself for waterside walks, steamer cruises and various watersports – or even a wild swim if you’re feeling brave. Over on the banks of Derwentwater, Keswick (15 minutes’ drive) is another good place to explore, with a brewery, The Puzzling Place and the Derwent Pencil Museum as well as boat trips and paddleboards to hire. Walkers of all varieties have much to choose from around here, from gentle lakeside wanders to uphill scrambles at Blencathra and Helvellyn, both of which are close by. The folk on the farm are happy to suggest routes to suit – or point you towards the likes of Dalemain Mansion (15 minutes), Mirehouse & Gardens (20 minutes) or Lowther Castle (25 minutes) for stately-home strolls.
