Liked: Massive site, with a lot of choice of pitches. Incredible views all around. Good toilets and showers, although limited
Disliked: Bit of a trek to the water and facilities if you’re in the bottom 2 fields. I wish this site was open more than just weekends as I wanted it extend my stay but couldn’t. Also they appear to just take all rubbish in the same trailer, probably to landfill, rather than having recycling

Liked: Straightforward and laid-back. Warm showers and a place out of the wind and rain to cook. Great views of Blencathra. Well situated for Keswick and walkable pubs in Threlkeld

Liked: Great simple campsite at a low price. For such a low price I was pleasantly surprised by the showers and toilets. We managed to cook in the bivvy area when it was raining too. Walked to both the white horse and farrier pubs - 20 mins either direction off the main road. Was fairly quiet when we were here.
Disliked: As mentioned elsewhere there is a bit of a slant to the campsite but not the end of the world. Nice views along the valley as a result! Traffic noise isn’t zero during the day, but quiet at night.

Liked: Super close to Keswick town, all basic facilities needed including hot showers and toilets. Plenty of space on site to be far enough away from other campers if you just want your own space to enjoy and take it all in, our second time staying here

Liked: Danika greeted us with a a warm smile and straight forward instructions on everything on site. Even her dog Nova had a waggy tail. The site itself is simple and functional. There are shower/toilet facilities and large sinks for washing up. The area available to pitch up is huge with plenty of space for all sizes of tent and campervan. Although Pitch-up quote a booking in time, the site itself welcomes you after 09:00hrs to 23:00hrs, which is really good to know for our next visit. The site is towards the bottom of a valley so is sloped but has plenty of area for fairly level ground. Having said that the views along the valley and up towards the mountain ranges are stunning. You can also hire a fire pit (£5 per night at time of writing) and also buy wood when in stock. If you have your own fire pit this is also welcome.
Disliked: Nothing!!!
