What customers say

A grand spot, loved for its views, especially of Blencathra! Loads of room, a chill vibe, and you pick your own pitch. Facilities are decent and clean. Great for hikers, though queues can happen in busy times, and some pitches are a bit sloped.

Liked Beautiful peaceful location with good walking links nearby

Disliked Not enough showers and toilets for the size of the campsite, a lack of a dry clean area within the shower units.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The views were great and the birds in the barn filled me with joy ❤️ Great base for accessing lots of amazing places.

Disliked Bit of a challenge with the number of toilets/showers. Luckily it wasn't too busy so didn't have to wait that long. In some ways it's amazing cos it's near the main road, but the car noise can be a bit imposing.

Hannah R.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The campsite is very well situated just a 10 min drive to Keswick with all the supermarkets/restaurants you might want and there is a pub in the village of Threlkeld with bus connections to Penrith and Keswick. The toilet and washing facilities were clean and well stocked with toilet roll, washing up liquid and sponges and the showers have very good water pressure. Beautiful views! You can leave the campsite and walk the start of several routes up Blencathra.

Disliked The bin/recycling facilities could be improved as when we visited there was a truck parked outside the toilet facilities that everyone throws their garbage into. There are only 4 showers for the campsite so had to wait a long time on a couple days to shower.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This was our 2nd time here. We decided to return as we liked the location and facilities.

Disliked There seems to be no noise cut off restrictions. Other people playing loud music well after 1am. Also people smoking weed which isn’t ideal when you’ve got kids.

Good location, very close to Keswick…

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good location, very close to Keswick and lots of nice walks. Nearly all of the pitches are on a hill but this didn’t really bother us. Toilets, showers and washing up station were all clean.

Disliked There were grass cuttings all over the field which meant grass got in the tent/car/toilets/showers/etc.
We went over the bank holiday weekend which was a bit of a mistake because it was so busy and the others on the campsite were shouting and playing music until midnight and smoking weed. I would say it’s not family friendly but we may have just been unlucky that weekend.
It was quite difficult getting out of the driveway as it’s on a busy road.
