 Great site, great location.
Excellent facilities as you would expect from a CCC site, great village location.
Minor downside of the constant drone from the A66 but not too bad.
Just a shame about our fellow visitors. Unfortunately we were pitched close the the main facilities block. Because there was no fence or hedge to separate the rows of pitches, most people thought it was acceptable to walk straight through our pitch, navigating tables and chairs whilst we ate, or between car and 'van inches from the windows.
Still, it saved the lazy so-and-sos' an extra 10 or 15m walk. No respect.

We have stayed here before, and as usual it was lovely. The site is clean and well run.
There are frequent buses outside the site to various places.
The Coledale inn is the local dog friendly pub /hotel which does good food.
There is also a shop nearby which is well stocked with provisions, newspapers and so on.

A delightful site with superb facilities in a good location within the pretty village of Braithwaite.
There is no shop on site but the village shop is well stocked and there is a lovely café across the road. The bus stop is a couple of minutes walk away with regular buses to Keswick offering lots of tours of the Lake District.
The site is spotless and very well maintained. The shower block is 5☆, there is an excellent family room with baby bath and there's even a stainless steel " dog bath" area!
Staff are helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this site.

Popular Choice in this Area
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

First visit to this site.
Pitches are pre-allocated.
First impressions of the site are of a clean and well organised business and nothing dissuades you from this thought.
We had booked a hard standing with services and had seen a negative review concerning concrete slabs and gravel. I had made a telephone enquiry regarding this and had been assured that all would be fine. In fact it was all fine.
The pitch was a concrete slab that oddly was not level, and the side of the pitch was all gravel chippings. This is where static caravans either once were or are going to be again. We do not use an awning so had no need to peg out. We found the pitch perfect.
The facilities were all lovely and clean, but the site has just been refurbished /re-developed so they should be.
Wardens were very helpful.
Buses available from just outside the site entrance.
2 good pubs in the village nearby, a good tearoom (Jaspers) nearby.
Whinlatter Forest just a couple of miles away. (Bus there and walk back)
Bus can take you into Keswick and Derwent Water, but it is walkable too via the footpath route instead of the roadway.
Local food outlets deliver to site if needed.

We stayed at the Braithwaite village campsite for 5 nights on a super pitch. The pitch had water, electric, waste water grid and tv aerial point.
The site itself is around 2 miles from Keswick. The toilets/showers block was always clean. The site is very well looked after by the staff.
The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is a bus stop next to Jaspers coffee shop on the road outside the site. The bus goes to Keswick or further afield.
There are two pubs in Braithwaite we ate at the Royal Oak one night. The food was good.
We would definitely go back and would recommend the site.

Very clean, well-run, well-organised campsite. Large site, excellent facilities, within easy walking distance of local shops, pubs and Keswick town.
Beautiful location and views in all directions. Excellent value for money. Cannot fault this campsite.
Will visit again. Thoroughly recommend to anyone.

A cracking campsite, perfectly located just off the A66 in the village of Braithwaite. Braithwaite hosts two cracking pubs both within a few minutes walk from the site. You can walk in to Keswick within 30 minutes, the quick way or far better is to walk over the fields towards Portinscale, this is 20 minutes longer but far quieter.
The site itself is pan flat, all the pitches we've been on have been hard-standing but there is a flat field for camping on.
The toilet blocks are what all campsites should have. Plenty of cubicles and showers, underfloor heating and plenty of room inside. The reception staff are great, very friendly and polite. I have no complaints about this site at all.

We stayed two nights on spec. For the Tour of Great Britain Whinlatter events. Hardstanding and hook-ups were booked up, not a problem as we stayed on grass (flat, no hedges/trees) and have solar. Management were very accommodating; well-stocked shop; toilet/shower/washing up facilities amongst the best we've ever had in the UK. Both local pubs had good beer and food. Direct access from campsite to footpath network along river bank, convenient for Grisedale Pike/ Whinlatter Forest visitor centre footpaths and mountain bike trails.
