Thirlspot Farm Camping Reviews

Nestled between Grasmere and Keswick, Thirlspot Farm Camping is a relaxed touring site on a small sheep farm with direct access to Sticks Pass. Offering non electric grass and electric hardstanding pitches, this adult only site provides an ideal base for hiking and top attractions, including the Aira Force Waterfall (25 minutes). Take in the sweeping countryside views from your pitch, light a BBQ, and visit the pub next door. Dog friendly, too!

Quiet and beautiful spot by Thirlmere and within walking distance of Helvellyn, or a long stroll to Keswick.

A pub, walks and public transport on the doorstep

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Booked a hardstanding pitch, with no electric for 2 nights. The toilets were clean, with 2 showers in the female block and very warm water. Although it was very close to the road, I did not hear the traffic at night. The pub next door is very welcoming and serves good food. There's a bus stop outside the campsite where you can get to Keswick and Ambleside and the buses were very clean.

Beautiful

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Beautiful caravan park with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Lots of reviews complaining about the busy road. There is a stream and a fence with trees which separated the road from the caravan park, and though you can hear traffic during the day, by night-time, the road is quiet. Toilets and showers were spotless. The owner was very friendly and helped us to pull our caravan onto the pitch. This is a beautiful location with valleys and mountains to be seen from the comfort of your caravan. If you venture up the hills, you can see the beautiful lake. Will definitely be back here again.

Picturesque location

A fabulous spot in the Lake District. Friendly and helpful owners. Lots of great walks from the site. Buses from outside the gate to both Keswick and Kendal.

Motorhome - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesSep 2023

Friendly welcome, stunning views and great walking directly from the site. Despite a slightly noisy road, we extended our stay by a further 2 to the 3 we had booked. The pub next door does great food, but a little expensive. A great site and I have already recommended to friends.
