Newlands Valley Campsite: Peaceful sunny day

General

  • Well-maintained Lake District site half a kilometre from Derwentwater
  • A five-minute drive from Catbells; 15 minutes from Whinlatter Forest
  • Pub with a beer garden a short walk away; adventure centre nearby

Mountain biking, high ropes, quad biking and boating… whatever your calling, you’ll be well placed for mucking into all sorts of outdoor activities from Newlands Valley Campsite in the Lake District National Park. Half a kilometre from Derwentwater and 10 minutes’ drive away from Keswick, this family-run pop-up site will plant you firmly near to fells, lakes and forests.

You’ll be able to channel your energy into the outdoors from here, as there’s an activity centre five minutes’ drive away (climbing, archery and kayaking included). The nearest fell is five minutes’ drive away for a challenging hike and there are more trails including mountain biking or cycling courses around Whinlatter Forest Park, 15 minutes’ drive away.

When you’re ready to give your feet a rest and refill with some tasty food, the local pub is 10 minutes’ walk away up the hill – it’s quite the cosy spot with a beer garden so you can stay in the fresh air if you please while you indulge in a homecooked meal.

As a pop-up site, the facilities on site simply take care of the essentials – as you’ll likely be a little mucky from your adventures out and about, there are showers, toilets and clean water where you can freshen up.

Please note

At least one of the party members must be aged 18 or over.

    This is a pop up site in a lovely location. Well organised by friendly owners and the festival style blocks of showers and loos are basic but good enough. The coffee van on Sunday morning was much appreciated! Suited me as a lone traveller just staying for 1 night.

  • Liked: 

    Big site lots of room ( might not be the case at capacity)
    Lady running site was lovely
    Ice cream van did coffee/tea on morning and phone charging in emergency.
    Amazing view

    Disliked: 

    Location of pitch was wrong on pitched up and is a lot further from the lake then on the Map not sure if this has been done intentionally.
    Showers where full of flys/ mosquitoes and needed a good jet wash. Doors needed to be kept shut or light to go off to stop attracting bugs

    Toilets very smelly - one had no hand wash the other no paper towels

    The area for the bin was very muddy could do with a few draining mats

Directions


Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Those of you who are ready and willing to get a little mucky (go on – you’re on holiday) might want to get started with some quad biking or Segwaying 10 minutes’ walk from the site. You’ve got a few ways to get stuck in at Whinlatter Forest Park (15 minutes' drive) – aside from hiking, cycling and mountain biking, there are zipwires and treetop obstacles to tackle on the Go Ape course.

That’s not all in the way of outdoorsy pursuits. The local adventure centre (five minutes) runs kayaking and canoeing, scrambling, rock climbing, archery and another high ropes course. If you like a challenge, Catbells (five minutes) is a fell with a six-kilometre hike.

Otherwise, take a more leisurely route (or a boat, if you want to rest your feet) around Derwentwater (10 minutes’ walk). Aira Force Waterfall (half an hour’s drive) has more spectacular water scenery.

For more of those chilled-out activities, be sure to call by the Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes) and Castlerigg Stone Circle (15 minutes), a Neolithic stone circle.

Must see

  • Whinlatter Forest & Visitor Centre (3.4 kilometers)
  • Castlerigg Stone Circle (5.0 kilometers)
  • Mirehouse Historic House and Gardens (6.9 kilometers)

National Trust

  • Wordsworth House and Garden (15.8 kilometers)
  • Grasmere and Great Langdale (18.6 kilometers)
