We stayed here in March 2013 when the site first opened for the season.
A lot of the pitches near the Lake were waterlogged and not ready for use so we were placed near the entrance to the site.
The toilet and washroom facilities were adequate although very dated and in need of modernising.
The main plus point of this site is its location to the centre of Keswick. It takes about 5 minutes to walk into the centre which has an abundance of shops, cafes and pubs.
There are some fantastic walks that you can do from the site, and the scenery is stunning.
We would stay here again as Keswick has something for everyone, albeit not in March when the site is just opening.

We stayed on the Oval in preference to the main site which is prone to flooding. The Oval is a small neat quiet site all hardstanding pitches with 10 amp electric and water points on each pitch.
The toilet/shower block is housed in a portakabin and has no privacy cubicles or disabled access. There are no washing up facilities. The laundry is located on an adjoining site. Awnings are not allowed.
The site is very close to Keswick centre which has two supermarkets, many shops and facilities, The bus staion is also a short walk away giving access to a wider area.
During our stay the adjoining Walker park site was closed however during the summer months campers on Walker park site also uses also use the Oval's limited toilet facilities.

Existent site located by the Derwentwater with fishing close by with stunning views from the entire site,
All the pitches are well marked out and easy access, with electric hook up and water not to far to walk,
Site wardens were very friendly and helpful the site is kept clean and tidy,
The toilets and shower block are all cleared every day, with a small shop on site with what you need,
Short walk in to Keswick town with plenty of things to do with out travailing to far,
Local shops and a market Keswick has a lot to offer for all the family.

We went to this site for 5 nights up until Christmas Eve. The site is in a an excellent spot, with easy access to Keswick and Derwentwater.
The weather was extremely cold (-17 some days) and the facilities struggled. For three days, the shower block was completely frozen and there was no running water. However, this was totally unavoidable and the sit staff did all thy could.
An excellent site, will certainly use again.

What a fantastic location. Right next to the water and within walking distance of the outdoor orientated town of Keswick. Much of the lake districts are accessible from here - some amazing walks.
The wardens were helpful if you could find them and catch their attention.
On the down side, the facilities (toilet and shower blocks) are really quite dated and in need of some renovation. Also, it's a shame the site can accommodate quite so many units as it would have been nice to have a bit of greenery about.

My favourite site so far. We've made tentative forays to other sites over the years, but usually end up returning here. No shop to speak of, but within walking distance (ten minutes) of Booths, the excellent supermarket and Keswick town centre, one of the best shopping centres in the Lakes ( not too commercialised but providing everything you could possibly want)
Sometimes subject to flooded pitches, the upside is that you can camp on the very edge of beautiful Derwentwater, and for the windsurfers and canoeists, you could not ask for a better spot.
The toilets and showers were impeccably clean and there are rooms you can lock yourself in to wash and shave
Also, we never seem to have a lot of noise after 11. 00, even when we've gone in the school holidays.
A definite winner, and if anyone can tell me where I can get better scenery, peace and quiet, level pitches and access to a beautiful lake and a first class shopping centre without recourse to the car, I will shake your hand and book our place for the spring.
