Positiv Pitch

Positiv The owners are so helpful and accommodating . We had to vacate a site in Keswick due to flooding and come to the old post office a day earlier at very short notice late in terrible weather . The owner went out of his way to meet us and direct us in , he then came back to give me 50p coins to ensure we could shower that night .
The site is beautiful and well kept with very clear and well maintained pitches .
The pub over the bridge is also very well kept and friendly , we are already planning a return visit asap to this wonderful area. We do a lot of wild swimming and Wast water is a short ( but steep on narrow roads ) drive away .
What a wonderful , quiet , slice of heaven . Thankyou for your help and kindness

Negativ There is simply nothing we disliked , we are very well travelled throughout England , Wales and Scotland and this little spot is now firmly amongst our top sites

Negativ Jobs worth created by Pitchup, beautiful pitches by river, not allowed to park in them because Pitchup allocates the pitch, ours right in front of the toilets. You guessed it, no other visitors during our stay, so could have parked anywhere.
If you have a a European motor home, your grey waste won't work unless it's at least 10m long, to make this work I had to park reversed in, if you park nose in you can't use your waste and you sit looking at the toilets.this I refused to do, and caused somewhat of a disagreement.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your 8 star review, it is much appreciated,

However we would like to point out the following.

You had booked a super pitch for your stay and there were 5 other customers on super pitches during your stay, unfortunately there are only 3 super pitches that back onto the river two of which were utilised, all other pitches that were available at the time of your booking were not super pitches, therefore not having direct hookup to water waste or electric. The site is a small site and the pitch you were on is only 25 meters from the river.

We have had many European/non European motorhomes on site and none of them have struggled to hook up to the water waste until now, the staff member that was onsite at the time tried to give you some advice on how to park your vehicle so that your 2 and half meter hose would fit, there was no disagreement on our part, only advice.

I hope this didn't affect your stay too much, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Kindest regards
The Old Post Office Team

Positiv Good site, easy to find. We were a late arrival however all the information had been left out for us, with contact numbers available if there was any issues. Facilities were good and kept clean. Nice pub just across the bridge which was very convenient. Pitch itself was made up of bark with grass touring pitch. Handy outdoor tap to the side of the toilet block to clean dogs paws. WiFi worked at pitch and had no issues with it

Positiv We had an absolutely fantastic 2 night stay at The Old Post Office campsite! The shower blocks were spotless and modern, and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. It was so peaceful at night. Strong WiFi. We'd give it six stars if we could! Highly recommend. Pub is a small walk around the corner. We came back for another night because we had to cut out journey short and the guys helped us out with a pitch.

Negativ NOTHING!! 😁

Positiv Really enjoyed staying on this campsite. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Toilet block was clean showers were hot, your not packed in like sardines. Nice little pub nearby that we took refuge in when the rains came in. Some campers took a dip in the river.
Other reviews are correct about 50p for a shower, but if you don’t have a 50p coin go speak to the staff they will sort you out.
There was a bit of noise from the road behind but most people were up and about early making the most of there days in the lakes anyway.
10mins drive from Wasdale head and load of great walks. I will definitely be back.

Negativ Nout.
