About the site
This relaxed site can be found at the foot of Helvellyn, nestled just off the road between Keswick and Grasmere. The beautiful waters of Thirlmere aren't too far away, and it's a great spot for exploring. Grass pitches are available without electric, and grass and hardstanding pitches with electric included are available for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. Surrounded by stunning views of the Lake District, with plenty of trails to explore, it's easy to immerse yourself in the surrounding nature. Take the path from the site and find the wild natural infinity pool where you can swim overlooking the spectacular mountains and valleys, a truly breathtaking experience! Dogs are welcome and with there being so many idyllic hikes nearby, this is a great choice for dog walkers.

This is a small site with a great view over rolling hills. The toilets and showers are simple but clean, but there is no warden present on the site. This wasn't a problem for us and we were told to select our preferred pitch and set up.

Had a wonderful time just what we needed, the setting was fantastic. The pub right beside was a bonus and there was a bus stop just the opposite side of the road. Which went to Keswick so no need to repack the van.
