What customers say
Great location, a quick walk to Keswick. Guests loved the clean restrooms and good value. Some found the ground tough for tent stakes and noted occasional camper noise. Basic but tidy, perfect for short trips.

Anonymous Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Easy access to Keswick
Disliked Toilets were basic and insufficient for the site. ( one cubicle and two urinals is not enough)
Rubbish left on the pitches ( pegs, bottle tops and old tea bags - nice)
Ground was very rocky ( difficult to peg down) we tried different areas of the site and it was the same. We stayed at other small sites with much better facilities for less money.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Loved it nice parking area field is fenced off with multiple water points. Toilets were clean. Obviously there is no showers but for a short stay it’s no problem that wet wipes can’t solve 😁just a 10 min walk into Keswick centre it’s ideal
Disliked Only issue is ground beneath grass is very stony so need to be careful fitting tent pegs

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Everything! We had amazing weather. The site was like a sun trap. Not over crowded at all. The toilet block was really pleasant. Location wise you couldn’t get any better!
Can’t wait to return 😁
Disliked Only thing that would improve is a couple of showers but for a few nights stay it really isn’t a problem.

Anonymous Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked The site was very easy to find and the location was great. Very handy.
Booking online was straightforward.
The price for one pitch is reasonable.
The toilets were clean and bright.
Disliked I had two single tents and had to pay for two pitches, despite our square footage being smaller than a six man tent paying for one pitch; this seems a little inflexible.
The parking was not helpful; I had to leave my car on a side street about three minutes walk away.
The site is promoted as family friendly yet there was a group of lads who were drinking and shouting until the small hours. They left bottles and cans everywhere and uncooked chicken. I would certainly not let children play on the grass as a result.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are taking a look into the campsite and have a revaluation of pricing and how to make it more accommodating for campers, so feedback like this is very valuable and we are very grateful!

Anonymous Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Location is great. Easy to find.
Very clean toilets.
Price is competitive for one plot without question.
Site was maintained well; short grass and clear boundary fence.
Disliked Parking was a challenge. I was able to park earlier in the day but had to park on a side street on arriving back in the evening. The lack of marked bays is an issue. Could be easily remedied.
Although we had two single person tents had to pay for two plots. Seems a little unreasonable when our two tents combined took up less space than a six man tent paying for one plot. Doesn’t really make sense, and the lack of flexibility on this seemed a bit unreasonable.
