Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

Lovely site, very clean and very peaceful. The site is just off the A66, but you wouldn't know it. Showers are brilliant no push button showers, thermostatic and lovely and warm. Would have been useful to know what time to checkout though.

Good little site in a great location

Camping Pod - Camping PodsAug 2025

We stayed in one of the camping pods, it's a squeeze with 4 people, but doable when you don't want to use a tent. The site is in a good spot between Keswick and Penrith, it's small and fairly basic, but everything was really clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely campsite!

Can't fault this campsite at all - getting there was a doddle, easy main roads the whole way for us. A little noisy next to the main road overnight, but it's to be expected and didn't bother me at all! The facilities were exceptionally clean and the owners were really friendly and gave us a lovely welcome! Would stay again!

Lovely little place

Lovely little site with a designated dog walk. Well landscaped with separate areas for tents and caravans. Toilets lovely and clean. Owners ever present for support. We loved it.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

We stayed here as a family of 3 with a 4 year old and a dog. The location is very out the way, but is perfect for getting about the lakes. Right on the A66, within 15 min of Keswick, 20 min of Grasmere. It's a family run business, the owners are great, very approachable and friendly. Now, the facilities - no complaints at all! Very clean, modern, and plentiful! There are 2 blocks next to each other, one visibly is more modern than the other but both equally as clean. There's a small dog walk on site (maybe about 200/300 meters) and a small park for kids. We actually enquired about siting our van here and can't wait to return!

A great stay was had

A very well-kept site, and the bonus of a pub just a 10/15 mins walk away. Ideal for exploring the Lakes and toilet blocks very clean. If you are a light sleeper then it is near to the busy A66, but it didn't bother us too much. The lady in the static caravan opposite pitch 5 could turn her TV down a big though 🤣

Lovely site

Lovely site. Friendly reception. Facilities very clean. Well maintained. Easy access. Peaceful apart from busy road. Didn't realise it was as near but soon got used to it. But don't follow Sat Nav into Penruddock. Would go back.

Great site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

Could do with an upgrade of the facilities, only one shower in each block for the whole site, water pressure in the shower is poor. Although, the shower blocks were clean. Laundry appliances also need updating, they had one very old washing machine that takes tokens and an out of service tumble dryer. Children's play area was very old tired.

Excellent site

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

Lovely little site just off the A66 between Penryth and Keswick. Very well maintained, there were 2 motorhomes in our party and we asked for 2 pitches next to each other, which was great. Nice grass area between the hard standings. There is a bus stop 3 minutes walk from the site, that runs to Penryth and Keswick. You can't really walk to anywhere from the site. You can hear a little road noise from the A66 but this did not bother us at all. Would highly recommend as a base to explore the Lakes from.

Camping Pod - Camping PodsJul 2025

Nice site predominantly catering for motorhomes and caravans but also hosting campers, plus some camping pods. We stayed in one of the pods and these were really good with benefit of electric supply. Pod would suit a couple but could host small family for a few days. Toilets and showers a little dated but in good order and clean. Site management friendly and available for help. Site is probably best accessed by vehicle but there is an hourly bus service along B5288 from the Motherby Road End or Sportsman Inn stops, with X4/X5 service between Keswick and Penrith. The Herdwick Inn in Penruddock is an easy fifteen minute walk away too.

Lovely site

It's a lovely site. Can't fault it. Location great. Very quiet and spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend Bus stop 5 mins walk that takes you to Keswick or Penrith bus stations. 15 mins walk to pub that sells lovely food.

Great site

Camping Pod - Camping PodsJun 2025

Beckses is a lovely site, very peaceful but with plenty of staff around to answer queries etc. The pod we stayed in was basic but clean, comfortable (surprisingly comfortable beds!) and had a kettle etc. A mini fridge would have been nice for storing milk but otherwise it was everything we needed as a base for exploring the northern Lakes. The toilet and shower block was also very clean, comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot - delightful. Our children enjoyed the play area and the site felt safe and welcoming. Overall a really lovely weekend - we'll be back!

Convenient for North Lakes and Penrith area. Basically, clean and tidy, pleasant staff, but pitches felt a bit cramped.
