  • Quiet family-friendly pop-up site in the Lake District National Park
  • Derwentwater 10 minutes’ walk; Keswick shops five minutes’ drive
  • Activity centre next door and River Greta strolls from the pitches
A handy five minutes’ drive from Keswick shops, tearooms and pubs in the Lake District National Park, the spacious pitches at pop-up Denton House are new for 2025. There’s certainly plenty to do here, with an activity centre on site, tennis courts within 10 minutes’ walk and a local golf course (10 minutes’ drive) too. Derwentwater (10 minutes’ walk) is also close at hand for sailing, kayaking or paddleboarding plus views of the photogenic slopes of Cats Bells, or you can have a quiet ramble with the kids along the River Greta, which runs alongside the pitches. This pop-up site is set up for families, so if you’re looking for rowdy late nights it is not the place for you. The camping field has room for kicking a ball around, and you can soon be out in the countryside to give any dogs a stretch of their paws. As it also has a back-to-nature, adventure camping vibe, there are few facilities – no electric hook-ups, showers or cooking facilities – but there are spotless separate loos for men and women, and standing water taps around the perimeter of the field.
