Date of Visit: September 2020 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Pca1958 92 reviews from this member

 Keswick site has three main attributes that ensures its a busy site in the Lake District.

1. Close to Keswick town with its shops, pubs and cafes.

2. Opportunity to go for walks from campsite, and to enjoy canoeing etc in Derwentwater.

3. Well serviced by buses to travel to other areas of Lake District. We stayed three nights.

Only downside was we had phoned the site in Nov 2019 to secure a Lakeside pitch, and was told we had to upgrade to a Super Service pitch in order to do this which we did. When we arrived, we were told there was no record of this request (even though we now found ourselves on a Super Service pitch instead of a standard pitch, 3 rows back from the Lake) and that if not happy with the Super Service pitch allocated we could go to the office and get a refund and find somewhere else!

We reckoned every where else would be full so we stayed, and put this to the back of our minds. Facilities were clean and sanitised and park looked reasonably well kept. Went to the Bank Tavern and the Pheasant Inn, both served great food, and we also enjoyed the circular walk around Derwentwater (approx 10m)

 Stayed over the bank holiday weekend.

Unfortunately we had just had two storms and the site had beared the brunt of the adverse weather. Ground very wet but that's not the sites fault and staff dealt with the issue very well.

Other than that, site great.

Staff really helpful, facilities cleaned regularly and the location of the site on the lake is boss!

Ten minute walk into Keswick which has great pubs and cafes, nearly all dog friendly.

Great site and we will be back

 We fancied a winter visit to Keswick and was surprised at how busy the site was in early December! I suppose not many sites are available during this month.

The site has lovely views down the lake and to the mountains. Facilities were reasonable.

It's a ten minute walk to town, first stop is Booths supermarket and the bus station and then onto lots of shops and eating and drinking venues in town.

We were lucky enough to coincide our visit with the switching on the Christmas lights.

 Arrived at non-busy time, around 3. 30pm, given choice of pitch in main or quieter area. Choose quieter area even though it was on the exit route. Campsite full with caravans, motorhomes, campervans and folk in tents.

Thankfully plenty of room between pitches, glad we were not in main area next to the lake where there are lots of geese and swans leaving their mark on the grass and paths.

Small toilet block had half of toilets, showers & wash basins closed off and respected by campers, plenty of paper towels. Main block also the same but a one way system along paths to get to them. Washing up ares available alternative sinks blocked off.

Generally it was very busy but people respected social distancing. Facilities cleaned 3 times per day, one of which was a deep clean. Weather was favourable as this site does flood.

Excellent position for activities on or off the lake. Plenty of walking from campsite however the cycling route is currently being rebuilt and extended.

Children’s play area closed.

 The campsite was very nice and so near to a lake with awesome views. The town Keswick was about 15 minutes walk and Booths supermarket a 10 minute walk from the campsite.

The staff on the campsite were friendly. We would go back there again.

 This is a lovely site, within walking distance of Keswick.

Large pitches, excellent facilities and great location on Derwentwater.

New wardens since our last stay - friendly welcome and helpful staff.

 What an awful site

There are other sites nearby go to them, the only reason they get any customers is because it’s near to Keswick

Trying to book is an absolute nightmare, the staff are rude an unhelpful especially Hazel

I have made a complaint to the caravan Club certainly not an advert for a friendly site!

We have had less security checks getting on an international flight, we paid for 2 nights and left after 1 we will never return to this site

Reviewer: Hillspecial 1 review from this member

 Ace location, but fantasticly expensive.

Over £84.60 a night, that's for a grass pitch, with no lecky, no water, family of 4 ( children classed as adults, plus other children not even coming, else would be even more. )

That's providing our own tent, bedding, cooking equipment, gas etc.

All included with cottage hire.

Wash rooms overcrowded at peak times.

Lack of hot water at peak times.

Very poor drainage in some parts of dire when it rains.

Can geT a Cottage in July or August for that money.

BTW, did I say how expensive the site is?

Reviewer: Irvine45 87 reviews from this member

 What a wonderful site, no wonder it is very difficult to book into. The site sits on the banks of Derwent water and is a short stroll into Keswick. The facilities were immaculate even although the site was full and there was only toilet block open.

Our pitch was away from the main area, which didn't feel busy at all.

I would definitely like to return and would highly recommend this site.

Reviewer: Dubdogs 147 reviews from this member

 Really enjoyed our stay at the site, we stopped for 4 nights during a longer tour. I was a little trepidacious of visiting the Lakes during November, but the autumnal colours on the trees where fantastic and we were lucky with the weather.

We arrived about 2-2:30pm, which given the queues we witnessed on other days around 1pm, turned out good to be a little later as we were straight through without waiting. We were given a choice of where we'd prefer to park up which was handy. The larger facilities block was a little walk from our pitch but it was more pleasant than the smaller dated block.

Views all around the site were great and whilst the pitches at the front had views directly on to Derwentwater, they also had the geese waddling around and the mess the geese leave behind!

So much to do in the area and plenty of walks directly from the site.

Will definitely return to the site.
