Good sized pitch and amazing views
Really close to Catbells and Derwent water, and Keswick town as well as smaller areas with cafe, pub just up the road too!
Showers always warm and available
Toilets plenty of roll
Family really friendly and welcoming

Wash up area was pretty grim!

The land was beautiful, facilities did the job, showers were hot. Hosts were very chill and felt at ease from the moment we arrived. Location was incredible, super easy to get on amazing walks, and the local pub was smashing.

The waste management I thought was a bit of a shame, no separation or recycling options, just a big skip. The owners didn't know if anything was recycled. Hot water for washing up was a bit lacking, but it did the job. There were no toilet brushes, so weren't kept that clean.

Really enjoyed our stay at Newlands Valley Campsite. The toilet/ showers were clean and warm.
We stayed on a Saturday night and although there was a group camping near us, they were respectful and quiet.
I can see that the field may get muddy if it rains but it’s a field… that’s what happens

great location, clean facilities and friendly staff. felt safe on the site with young children, we are just gutted you aren’t open more but also understand this is a council issue and no fault of your own, we can’t wait to come back already!

can’t fault site or staff.

Good location clean facilities toilet block and showers
Fresh washer behind tents
Will definitely return

Friendly owners, nicely maintained pitching areas, washing up facilities, nice hot private showers

Not really a dislike but there are only 2 toilets for the male users, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 more.

Everything was lovely. Hosts, toilets and other facilities, clean and pleasant

Nothing

Very clean facilities, piping hot showers, can choose your own pitch, beautiful view at the foot of the mountains, plenty of walks directly from the campsite, 10 mins max to the centre of Keswick, super dog friendly - could be off lead the entire time.

A great campsite in a beautiful location

The campsite is in a stunning setting not too far out of Keswick and close to some excellent walks and Watersports centres. We had lots of rain so weren't brave enough to walk the entirety of the lake, but the site is close enough to allow for it and it took us an hour to saunter into town. Cat Fells is very close too. The toilets and showers were well maintained and clean, despite the rain bringing a bit of mud (which was coned off). My boys enjoyed watching the bats above whilst eating smores around the campfire. £12 deposit and £8 for the wood, you get £5 back on return of the pit. We had a lovely stay, despite our tent deciding to leak! We'll definitely stay again.

Our leaky tent - so nothing!
