Líbí se The campsite itself was beautiful with the river running through it and some nice walks directly the site. There are some beautiful places to visit nearby. Our favourites were Honnister Pass, Cat Bells and Buttermere Lake. Keswick itself is a short drive but has everything you need shop wise. It’s worth noting that the campsite pizzas have moved to Friday nights and not Saturdays as advertised in the listing. Prices range from £9.50 - £13.50 depending on topping - well worth the price though, they tasted amazing! Dan came around a few times while we were there and was very welcoming. The on site facilities were kept clean and tidy. Lots of wildlife on site, red squirrels, hedgehogs, dragonflies etc. Also worth noting there are sheep wandering around the campsite pitches freely. We liked them being there but some of the other campers dogs didn’t so much. There is a lovely pub close to the campsite, it has a beautiful beer garden on the river and is dog friendly outside. Unfortunately the staff advised they don’t serve food to the beer garden and dogs are not welcome in the pub so sadly we didn’t get to try the pub grub but we enjoyed some blackberry ciders by the river instead.

Nelíbí se The showers are a short walk away (which I was aware of) but they weren’t the cleanest unfortunately and you do have to walk along a road for a short distance to access them. The water in the area was unexpectedly off due to an issue in the valley one night (out of their control accepted) but there wasn’t any communication of this until you tried to use the facilities. A little text or email to prewarn campers would have been helpful as there’s no shops to purchase water nearby. The farms coffee and gift shop was advertised as being open Saturdays and Sundays - 10am to 4pm but it was closed when we tried to go on Sunday between 2:30 - 3pm. This one isn’t a dislike as such but more of a point to note, there are not any local takeaways. Not the end of the world but after an 8 hour climb of Scafell Pike, the idea of a takeaway was in mind but sadly wasn’t possible.

Líbí se We were fortunate enough to have the whole campsite to ourselves for 3 nights. It was so nice and peaceful. The roaming livestock kept the kids entertained and we experienced some lovely sunrise and sunset views (despite the bad weather we had the first 2 days). Bins were emptied regularly and the owner popped down to check we were ok and explained where everything was.

Nelíbí se The caravan/washroom could use a good clean. Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t expect it to be spotless but we have stayed here before and it was cleaned to much better standard then.
