VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2022

Was welcomed by Steve the owner who even took the time to take us on a bike ride around Thirlmere once we had set up that evening. During our stay, he checked in to see if we were ok and nothing was too much trouble! Facilities were good, including clean toilets and showers, washing up station, waste and rubbish disposal. Plus many pitches including ours seem to have electric hookup! Whilst there is very little mobile signal in the area, there is an excellent pub/hotel next door which has good fast Wifi, both inside and out. Would also recommend popping in the evening there for a beer or food. Highly recommended! The location is actually perfect if you plan to visit Windermere, Keswick, Buttermere or even Ullswater (as we did all of these areas during our visit). Would definitely go back again.

Great campsite, friendly owner

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2022

Fantastic campsite in a great location, ten minutes from Keswick. Good facilities, all clean and well appointed. Pitches are set in a lovely location by a stream with picturesque views. Owner was very friendly and recommended a bike route from the site into Keswick. Will definitely be back.

Great

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

Booked the site on a whim as being in the middle of a heatwave access to a shower sounded ideal. We enjoyed the stop so much we booked again for two days later! Being close to the road was a concern though and although the road is busy in the day, it's nice and quiet at night. The site has the mix of facilities and pitches just right and suits a camper van great! You're getting great value for money and a good, clean site with a fantastic pub next door - although if you're eating it's worth booking! Definitely appreciate the quiet after 10pm ruling too. After a day climbing in the fells in 30 degree plus temperatures a nice peaceful night was just what we ordered and exactly what we got.

I would visit again

A fantastic - but basic - campsite! Would absolutely recommend. Great value for money. A wonderful location and close to everything we planned to do. We stayed for 3 nights in our van, with a side awning, with our dog. We had access to toilets, showers, washing up and rubbish facilities. The farmer was brilliant. Really welcoming and happy to stop and have a chat about the local area and where we had been that day etc. Its a very peaceful location and I wouldn't let the fact that it's by a main road put you off! As we headed into the evening any noise dissipated and we were just surrounded by sheep, mountains and the sound of the nearby stream. It was perfect. We will return there on our next visit!

Basic campsite but has everything you need

Campsite was clean and tidy, shower, toilets and wash basin available on site. Easy access to Keswick via car or there is bus stop just outside campsite. Would recommend for anyone looking for camper van site in the North Lake District area.
