 This campsite is OK but nothing special. The location and scenery are nice, although there is some road noise from the A66. It is pretty basic overall, and very overpiced at almost 18 pounds per night for a family of 4 with a tent and car, when you consider there is no swimming pool, you have to pay for showers etc, and facilities basically comprise a shop and cafe. Also, I found the campsite to be very heavily midge infested, and the man on the desk was quite grumpy.

Having been to Scotgate for over 15 years I have finally found this brill website! Scotgate is a fantastic site with a coffee shop, shop selling everything you may ever need, toilet/shower block, laundry, large open playing field for football, kite flying, volleyball etc. Accomodates for tents, tourers, has static caravans and log cabins. Family run business that improves year after year! Each year we go at least 3 times and always have a good time. Staff are really helpful, and even delivered a baby a couple of years ago! A Site well worth a visit!

We stayed at Scotgate from Monday to Saturday. It is a lovely site, level area for tents, toilets were clean, well equipped shop, friendly people.
There are lots of walks around the campsite and also if you travel by car. We recommend walking around Buttermere lake, it is beautiful (and sit along the shore with a picnic).
We would definitely stay there again.

Very nice campsite situated just off the A66 near keswick. Very level camp site with pleanty of places to pitch a tent. Shower and toilet blocks were basic but clean. If you run out of 10p's for the shower though, expect an ice cold one, brrr. Saying that though this is what campings about.
Pub 2 minute walk up the road was very nice and keswick is literrally a 5 minute car journey away. Would recomnend driving along the road signposted for buttermere just past the campsite. Some spectaular views and buttermere its self seems like a nice place to explore (if its not raining :) ). Shop on site was pretty cheap, although never got the chance to use the cafe, it always seemed to be busy in the mornings serving breakfast. All in all, a nice clean and friendly campsite.

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.
Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here

This is the second time I have visited this site in the last month and I have nothing but praise.
The facilities are superb, good location for keswick and surroundings to die for.
The shop is very reasonably priced and the all day cafe beats most local cafes and pubs for price and value for money, me and the missus are both 50 in october and we will be using the site as much as we can this summer, it's the best site I have used in years but I dont think it will be the same during the school hols.

This was our first camping experience and what an enjoyable one. Reasonable shop and friendly staff what more could you want.The toilet and shower block are basic but cleaned regularly.Will definitely visit again. Keswick is only 3 miles away with lots of shops and good eating facilities.

This site was recommended to us by a former Mountain Rescue volunteer so we expected good things! We weren't disappointed. The site is situated just outside Keswick in Braithwaite with a number of hill walks of varying degrees of difficulty starting from the village.
The village itself is very picturesque with a few great pubs just a short walk from the campsite. The campsite has a good shop AND cafe/pizzeria! We've since stayed in campsites with nicer shower/toilets blocks but they weren't bad...average I'd say.
We were blessed with fantastic weather whilst there which probably gave everything that rose tinted glow but we'll probably be back!

This is a very friendly and well run site. The toilets and shower block are always clean. There is a shop on site which has most essentials. I have visted many camp sites in the UK and Europe and this is a firm favourite. There is a good pub The Coledale Inn which is in the good beer guide and serves good wholesome food within a few minutes walk.

A very pleasant site to begin our camping adventures with. Will definately visit again but possibly won't pitch so close to the stream and so far away from the facilities!
Toilet/shower block was basic but functional and always clean.
Heartily recommend the Mexican in Keswick but if your not up for the walk, there's a pub no more than a couple of minutes walk away that serves decent grub.

Nice clean, flat site but very busy at weekend. Plenty of hot water for washing up - but stand well back and the pressure is a bit high! Some campers totally disregarding the "No music or noise after 10.30p.m.". If you want an early night - don't go on an August weekend!

Stopped one night, lots of flat clean tent and caravan pitches with two lots of shower and toilet blocks each for ladies and gents. Good for walking in area especially Grisdale Pike with excellent views from top, would stop there again later in year. Walk to Keswick 2miles, or phone for taxi, approx a fiver.

Very pleaseant site, quite quiet in March. The shop was well stocked. Breakfast was good value, but there was no food served on site in the evening (too early in the season). There are however two excellent local pubs for food.
At this time in the season there was only two (male) showers available, which meant quite a wait if you're not an early bird, the showers were however very clean.
All in all a good site that I can recommend & will return to.
