 Another great stay at the best site in the lakes.
Very welcome arrival and a pitch of our choice.
The toilet blocks were immaculately clean.
The site kept impeccably. Despite very cold frosts, yes we had -8C one night the paths were kept gritted.
Best dog friendly town in Britain, come on other towns !
We will be back again and again.

We stay at this site every year in order to attend the Keswick convention and it is perfectly placed for easy access to the convention centre.
This year the site was as good as ever with clean facilities and friendly wardens.
The fact you can easily walk into town and to the lake is what makes this site perfect for us.
However, please note that this site does not have direct access to the lake, it is the C&CC Keswick site next door that has direct access.
There is not much for kids to do on site as it is really geared up to adults and without a play area, some kids were constantly being told off by the wardens about kicking balls and riding bikes and scooters.
The kids didn’t bother us at all but if you have kids, you might prefer the next door Keswick site as it is better set up for kids.
My only complaint about this site is the price. It keeps going up and up and when we booked for next year a few weeks ago we were shocked to see the price per night for next July is £47. 50 for 2 adults!

Excellent place. The best showers.
Can't miss with this place.
They went out of their way to help me when my power cable did not reach the power pole.

Lovely peaceful site with excellent facilities and very friendly and welcoming staff.
An easy 10 minute walk into the town centre and down to the lake shore.

Lovely site within easy walking distance of the bus station and town. Turn right out of the site and a few minutes walk over the field brings you to the shores of Derwentwater.
We love it here as it is within easy reach of the buses and shops.
The site is very clean and well maintained. The toilet block is spotless. It is also very quiet and everyone is very respectful.
One morning we saw a young man pushing his motorcycle to the exit, We asked if he had broken down and did he need help. No, he said, I just don’t want to wake anybody up if they are still asleep. It was ten o’clock in the morning.

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

Good and ideal place to stay while in staying around that area to explore.
Place was looked after and you could tell the facility was cleaned regularly.

Another great stay at the Derwentwater Camping and Caravanning Club site. We stay here for a week every year and I have already written some reviews in past years which you should be able to read below and which still stand.
This year a lot of the covid19 restrictions were easing while we were there and there are no longer any restrictions on numbers in the toilet block, however it looked like a lot of people were still using their own facilities and therefore there was never a queue or what felt like overcrowding.
The site was as immaculate as ever and the Wardens do an amazing job of keeping everything spotless.
Keswick itself was very busy, so like last year we tried to keep out of the town as much as possible and stuck to the quieter areas around the lakes.
Most of the shops in Keswick still had signs up asking people to wear masks. A lot of people were complying but there were also many people who appeared to have abandoned all sensible precautions.
We love this site so much! Roll on next year when hopefully things will be a little bit more normal.

We love this area and stay here for a week every year. Please see my previous review for more details but I thought I would add a short review now based on our experiences during Covid19.
The site was very sensibly set up to allow the facilities to be used but also to enable social distancing. Five people were allowed in the toilet block at any one time. In the ladies, two toilets, two showers and one wash basin were open. This still allowed plenty of space but also ensured that there wasn’t too much queueing! The toilet block was cleaned four times a day, one deep clean and three lighter cleans but it gave the impression that the site was very safe.
The site was immaculately clean and well tended. It looked as though the wardens were constantly cleaning, cutting the grass, trimming hedges, weeding flower beds etc etc etc. Although as I’ve said in my previous reviews, the pitches are quite narrow, it’s still one of my favourite sites because of the location and I’m so happy that it’s open again.
Our only real concern this holiday was not on the site itself but in the surrounding area. The Lake District was absolutely jampacked with people, many of whom didn’t seem to have any concern about social distancing at all, and I felt rather uncomfortable at certain times. We went to Grassmere one day, but only stayed for a short time, because it was clear that there was no possibility of social distancing with the vast number of people in such a tiny village. After that we kept out of the towns as much as possible and enjoyed the lovely walking in the area.
