There is a drinking water tap on the Open Field. Rates are £12.50 per adult per night, £6 per 4 - 12 yrs per night, under 4’s free. Dog friendly but please keep dogs on a lead at all times and clean up after them.

Local attractions

We are located in the picturesque Borrowdale valley, surrounded by the National Nature Reserve's ancient Atlantic woodland. Borrowdale is in the north central region of the Lake District National Park. From our campsite there are a multitude of beautiful walks to explore; and the town of Keswick is a 10 minute drive away which has many restaurants, shops and attractions. . Enjoying the beautiful views form the campsite itself is what we love to do, and maybe even brave a swim in the river or venture up Castle Crag! Whilst camping with us you will have the opportunity to use the summertime bus that travels down Borrowdale (bus stop 1/2 mile walk from campsite), the bus can take you up Honister, to Buttermere or to Keswick.
