 Small but really pleasant site, quite quirky which made it so appealing.
Everyone we met were nice and seemed to be returning all the time,
Think it will be really nice in the summer.
Giving a 6 for location because we found it quite hard to get too

Nice and quiet, well looked after site.
Toilet and shower were fab.
Very friendly, and the fresh eggs are a must.
A good site for sightseeing other parts of lake district.
We will definitely be again

Just spent a weekend at Riverside tourer.
We wanted a quiet, adult only site for a peaceful relaxing weekend and that is exactly what we got.
The site was immaculately kept and was so thoughtfully set out. I was worried at first as to what to expect of the toilet and shower when I saw two sheds, but to my surprise it was an actual flushing toilet with a real sink! Ha not a portable smelly toilet.
Only thing I would say, is that as dog owners there wasn't really anywhere to walk from the site, where you could let your dog off safely for a good run. But we travelled out anyway so our dogs were pretty shattered by the time we got back.
We will definitely be going back, but with the correct tent pegs for hard standing, as our plastic ones snapped. 😅 armature campers!

Fantastic site in lovely, quiet location.
Spotlessly clean throughout and attention to detail is remarkable. Friendly owners.
A definite place to return to. Great value.

CL adjoining a slightly larger area for none CMC members – in my opinion, the CL is far better: more room between outfits and lovely outlook over the river but pitches narrow, if you have an awning you will need to park your car at the back of the van and partly on the roadway.
Toilet and shower closed. Owner regularly walks the site to feed the birds in the many feeders. Access easy, just one small pinch point in the village but we managed fine.
Many notices around the site saying what you can and cannot do, but it did not detract from the overall ambience.
Lovely café and pub in nearby Caldbeck.

We had 8 nights here and absolutely loved it.
Its a great base for exploring the northern lakes. There's a little dog walk area down by the stream, it is small, but fine for early morning and night time doggy do do's. :) we drove to Caldbeck Common 10 mins away for our dog to have a run.
I honestly don't know how anyone could complain about this place. John is always around, keeping the site neat and tidy.
If you can find the toilet, you can find the shower, they are 1 foot apart!
The pitches are well spaced out.
Loved it here, we are going there next year.
I highly recommend.

Lovely, peaceful location. The site is excellently maintained and pitches are well spaced and south facing over the river. As new relatively new to caravanning, John was only too happy to help by reversing our caravan into place, much to the relief of my husband.
We were lucky enough to be blessed with sunshine for the whole of our stay and were sad to leave. We will definitely be back during the summer.

Once again, lovely peaceful stay at Riverside. Top marks to John and Dawn for making such a peaceful little haven. We stayed over Xmas and virtually had the CL to ourselves, which was lovely, and even though there were other units on site everybody respects each others boundaries and peace and quiet.
Forget the previous negative review, uneven site? The pitches are lovely, with plenty of space between. Scrap laying round? Nonsense, the owner, John has gone to great lengths to ensure that this is a special little place, and that includes not having scrap lying around. I honestly don't know what another reviewer was thinking. The wi-fi is indeed a bit ropey, but it's free, and I got very good internet using my own phone's allowance, but hey. If you're looking for peace and tranquillity and 'get away from it all', . Wi-fi, . Really? Can't do without that? WOW. For what it's worth by the way, TV reception is also excellent, as good as it is at home. The ablutions are unique, but we used them in the frost and snow and they were perfectly warm.
I shouldn't be saying this as I want to keep this place a secret, but please come and try this site. This area of the Northern Lakes is much quieter than places like Windermere and it is very tranquil, and if it's peace and quiet you're after you won't find a better site than Riverside. My personal favourite site now, thanks out to John and Dawn.

Just returned from this little gem of a site. Beautiful maintained good pitches and peace and quiet. The toilet and shower were very quaint but served the purpose. The site has a beautiful stream running through it and is so relaxing. Excellent recycling bins for everything and so clean and tidy.
The warden was so helpful and friendly and had great knowledge of surrounding area. We walked tongue little village of heskit Newmarket which had a lovely pub called the crown which served nice meals at good prices.
This cl site is excellent value for moneyed stayed on the millrace side, and we will be going again in the very near future. Ideal location for walking in the lakes or just to switch off and chill in these beautiful surroundings

This was our third stay at this beautiful little site, top marks to John and Dawn for keeping it so immaculate. I never saw any scrap metal or garden waste anywhere, the grounds are actually beautifully maintained. Quite how a previous reviewer didn't find the shower is beyond me as they are right next to the toilet, which he apparently did find.
It only has 10 pitches which are spread in two areas of the site, but it's certainly not big enough to require a map! And to say there's nothing to do?! We climbed Carrock Fell and other nearby peaks, rowed across Derwent Water, and visited the nearby town of Keswick, and the villages of Hesket New Market and Caldbeck, both of which are picture postcard perfect by the way. There's plenty of things to do.
The site is so tranquil, and we were able to sit out most evenings reading and hearing nothing but bird song, bliss! The red squirrels put in plenty of appearances for us as well.
We're off up to Durness in the Highlands in the summer, but we can't wait until we can visit this little gem of a site again, 10 out of 10 from us, thank you!
