A lovely short stay here, convenient to walk to nearby pub, there is a nice playpark for the kids and also a walk for dogs. Facilities were always clean and nice to use, and we look forward to returning.

A decent tidy and clean site. Showers nice and hot. We suffered poor T.V. Reception, not sure if it was just us. Small dog walking area but adequate for a quick business trip!

Good clean site

If you're after a quiet site, this is perfect. The site is well maintained, toilets and showers are clean and smell nice. The pitches are a decent size. It is dog friendly and has a designated space to walk your dogs. The local pub is a 15 minute walk away.

Derek & Ness' weekend visit!

Fantastic stay at this caravan park, we had a campervan and although the facilities were basic in terms of what they offered, they were exactly what we wanted. Polite, friendly staff too which made all the difference. We loved our stay and will be back.

Fantastic campsite!

This campsite was so easy to get to from the motorway. Really friendly and accommodating staff, the facilities were clean and everything we needed was there. Close to Keswick where we took the very inexpensive bus rides to explore so much of the Lakes. Absolutely recommend it - we'll be revisiting the campsite for sure.

Great campsite

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

Great campsite, with great facilities and friendly owners. In terms of location, only a 15 min drive down the A66 from Penrith. It's great to access everywhere within the Lake District but the only disadvantage is the rumble of the A66 into the night and early in the morning. They also don't have any security gates like other sites that get locked through the night. And, it's completely open all day.

Quite and relaxing, a great getaway

Camping Pod - Camping PodsSep 2024

We really enjoyed our stay here at this campsite. The staff were excellent and very friendly. The pod was very comfortable, warm and clean. It was very spacious and in a nice quiet corner. The picnic table outside our pod was nice. The toilet and shower facilities were excellent too. We would definitely come back here again!

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesSep 2024

The site is owned and run by a family, and the chaps who greeted me in reception explained in detail where I would be parked and had a laugh and a joke with me - a very friendly, warm Cumbrian welcome indeed! The pitch we had was quite level, some were not so fortunate. However you're in the Lake District, so to be expected! Multiple fresh water locations around the site. One Elsan disposal unit on the top of the community toilets. Site was quiet apart from the road noise of the A66, however this did quiet down later on throughout the night. The site is not well lit so please bring a powerful torch! We enjoyed the shower facilities and the wash room to clean pots, pans and even our clothes! The lady stocking up the leaflets was lovely to speak too and offered lots of information on the local area. Please be aware if your walking from here to Penrudock, there is no pavement. It is a small road and at night, is dangerous. Recommend taking a bus or driving if you have a car or small camper, motorhomes are limited in villages. The site it self is very small, nothing fancy, however we enjoyed and would stay again as it's a quick drive from here to Pooley Bridge which houses some fine local cuisine and great hospitality.

A very friendly site

Our first visit to the Lake District and found the site clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth the money and the site is well placed for day trips to the northern lakes and peaks.

Excellent

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesSep 2024

Well located, easy access from the A66 and a short drive to both Penrith and Ullswater, plus the start of many fell walks. We also walked to local pub The Herdwick Inn, 15 minutes on the road or shorter across fields. Small, family run site, very quiet, despite it being full. We were early but we were able to check in anyway. Showers and toilets all very clean, not many people seemed to be using them. We were in a campervan so also used the washing up area, which was also clean and had washing up bowls and blue roll provided. We have been to many sites where neither of these were available.

Lovely site

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2024

Nice site within close proximity to the local areas of Penrith and Keswick. Bus stop nearby so was great for us not having to take the motorhome out to see the areas. Toilet and showers were good, play area for children and dog walking on site. Would recommend.

Lovely people and friendly, helpful staff
