Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Great location only a ten minute walk away from the town centre. Reasonably priced and managed to book a pitch at very short notice. The site was surprisingly quiet, too, considering its close proximity to the busy town.
Disliked Not far beneath the turf on the field was apretty solid hard-core base making inserting tent pegs pretty hard work.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Conveniently located very close to the centre of Keswick and a stones throw away from the C2C railway line.
Toilets are kept clean and tidy.
Disliked Would greatly benefit with a shower block and maybe a washing up area, however, for a pop up campsite everything was good.
