What customers say
Great location near Keswick. Clean facilities, good value, and friendly staff. Some noise and tent spacing issues noted, and no showers/washing-up facilities are a con for longer stays. Manager is addressing feedback.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Great location only a ten minute walk away from the town centre. Reasonably priced and managed to book a pitch at very short notice. The site was surprisingly quiet, too, considering its close proximity to the busy town.
Disliked Not far beneath the turf on the field was apretty solid hard-core base making inserting tent pegs pretty hard work.

Liked De mooie staanplaatsen.
Goede sanitaire voorzieningen
Dichtbij het centrum en enkele bezienswaardigheden.
Disliked Vrij te kiezen plek in plaats van verspreid te staan gaat iedereen langs elkaar. Helaas dus ook de lawaaimakers

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Conveniently located very close to the centre of Keswick and a stones throw away from the C2C railway line.
Toilets are kept clean and tidy.
Disliked Would greatly benefit with a shower block and maybe a washing up area, however, for a pop up campsite everything was good.
