Very good. I'd definitely use this site again.
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.

Ik zou nog een buitenbak toevoegen, waar je de afwas kan doen
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked De mooie staanplaatsen.
Goede sanitaire voorzieningen
Dichtbij het centrum en enkele bezienswaardigheden.
Disliked Vrij te kiezen plek in plaats van verspreid te staan gaat iedereen langs elkaar. Helaas dus ook de lawaaimakers

£25 a night virtually in the centre of Keswick. We'll be back.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Great spot, 8 minute walk from the centre. Clean and tidy. Just basic toilets and wash basins, all you need for a night or two really.

Would definitely use again
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.

excellent location, immaculate facilities and lovely staff!
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked we were greeted on arrival after contacting using mobile number, we were shown where toilet block was and then told we could choose our own pitch and drive the car on until we had unpacked. we were told that they were having some work done and some of the ground had been dug up- didn’t affect us at all but the gent seemed very apologetic!
the gentleman also came over to check we were managing okay pitching our tent up- very friendly very clean facilities will definitely be back here :)

Great little site in a good location
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Great little camp site, basic but perfect for what we needed. Ideal for one night but would need showers to extend. I'm actually local and it was cheaper to camp for the night than get a taxi to and from Keswick

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Nice campsite, had no issues with other campers. All very respectful. Toilets are clean and campground is well maintained.
Disliked No washing basin for pots and pans. Close to the main road so traffic is fairly loud all night.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked The site was clean and had space for the advertised pitches. A very short walk to the town center and easy to find. Most other site users were quiet and friendly. The toilets were very clean and the site had ample bins for waste. Would stay again.
Disliked The car park is quite small (might be worse at the moment due to school holidays). a few site users were quite disruptive at midnight coming back from the pubs, but that feels like pot luck of who's staying there. Only one tent out of around 20 was noisy, the rest were very quiet. It's a bit confusing on how you check in - no instructions on how you check in when you arrive and no indication of which pitch is yours.
