Great spot for walkers with a van
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Pleasant little campsite around 6 miles from Keswick. Friendly welcome, has everything you need, including a pub with good food right next door (make sure you book!), but not much more. Perfect if you are looking for a comfortable base to stay and do some walking.
The road which runs along the side of the campsite is national speed limit and straight so seems to be a favourite with speeders during the day, but OK overnight and the site itself is well. protected by a stream and mature trees.
Just be careful as you leave, especially if on foot.
Our stay Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Great location for loads of stunning walks.
Such a lovely little farm with lots of walks in the area
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 My husband and I planned a trip to the lakes and didn't know what campsites to stay at. However, Thirlspot was one of which we chose due to wanting to climb Helvellyn.
On arrival, the owners were very polite and helpful showing us to our pitch, they just allowed you to get on with your stay. Facilities were very clean, which is an added bonus. There is a lovely pub right next door to the site called The Kings Head Inn, which serves amazing food and the staff made you feel very welcome.
I will definitely be booking to stay at this campsite again 😊
Great location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Difficult to spot the signage from the road, but once found, a quick check in at the farmhouse.
Pitch relatively flat. Showers and toilets really clean. Fabulous views from pitch.
No frills, basic site with clean amenities.
Lovely site in great location
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 We had a lovely stay, very helpful site owner who had some great stories to tell and helped us out with some advice on the local area. Perfect spot to climb Helvellyn from, and striking distance to Keswick, Grasmere and Ambleside.
Bus stop outside the site and a good pub with good food next door. No internet signal at the site, which didn't really bother us, although you could jump on the free Wi-Fi from the pub next door.
Thirlmere
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Lovely first stay here, facilities good and clean.
Pub close by was handy with the Wi-Fi as no signal on camp, but that's fine. Nice walk to Thirlmere lake and could see where the infinity pool was. However, didn't get to go in due to weather.
Basic but reasonably priced and clean
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Lovely little campsite in an ideal location. The facilities are basic but clean and well kept. Perfect for dog owners as there's lovely walks all around the campsite. The pitches are very good sizes with plenty of space around. It would have been useful to have more signage up for the facilities as it took us some time to work out where the dish washing and waste emptying facilities were.
Would recommend for couples and dog owners if you are looking for a reasonably priced, beautifully located and central campsite in the Lake District.
Thirlspot
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Ticked all the boxes for our stay. A good base for hiking in the area, our choice was Helvellyn which was perfect. Infinity pools close by (30) mins walk up a fell direct from the site. Pub next door, perfect for drinks and food if needed. Bus stop across the road, every hour into Keswick. We will be back.
Great location for Helvellyn
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 I'd definitely recommend this campsite for people wanting to climb Helvellyn as one of the paths begins right from the site!
It's by a main road but we didn't find it to be noisy with traffic throughout the night. It's also nice and small so there was never any waiting round to use the facilities. I'd definitely recommend!
Great site, great location, great pub next door
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 Nice little site, basic facilities which were lovely and clean. Early check in after 11am and depart at 11am too.
Walks straight from site up Helvellyn and Thirlmere lake. Pub next door has great food and reasonable. Would recommend site. Ideal location to explore.
As expected, great place!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 On a main road but great location for convenience. Could barely hear the road once I was in my vehicle. Only 10 minute drive from Keswick, all one road so very easy. Facilities were well kept and people were very nice.
Views the other side to the road were amazing as well. EHU had no problems either. Great place.
Our stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Basic facilities, but great for access to mountains and waterfalls.
Small and quiet, ideal for couples.
Great pub next door.
Great little site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 Good little site. Owner pleasant and helpful. Facilities good. Beautiful views of the mountains all around. Bus route to Keswick very handy. Site is at the side of a main road but is quiet at night so not a problem. The hotel next door is closed after 9pm as it is then for residents of the hotel only.
