Reviewer: Pbow 10 reviews from this member

 Quiet, peaceful site, when we were there, with excellent brand new facilities. Check in was done remotely with pitch number emailed to us in advance.

The site is on the outskirts of Keswick with access to plenty of walks from the site which is on a quiet lane just off the A66 and easy to access with the caravan.

Only downside for us was that Low Rigg field gets cars going past to access other fields and people from the tent fields walking backwards and forwards to the amenities block.

Would definitely stay again but in High Rigg field.

 A very well run site in a beautiful location. Easy to reach from the A66.

There are plenty of toilets and showers for the size of the site and they

Were kept very clean. The walk to Keswick along the railway path is not to be missed.

As mentioned by others, the pitch we were on was very tight, took some time to get the caravan in and out.

 Still in the process of upgrading their facilities so not everything fully open as yet but new toilet block is stunning.

The site is worth it for the scenery alone and it’s easy walking into Keswick down the newly revamped Keswick to Threlkeld old railway line

 Great access from A66 and fantastic views all round. Good location for exploring Keswick and surrounding area.

Good little site, but pitches a bit tight, particularly tough trying to get the tourer off the end pitch from up against the wall and round the corner, wouldn't have been possible without the motor mover.

Only used toilets due to covid restrictions and they were clean.

Would go again due to fantastic location.

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

 Organised and nicely kept serviced site that isn’t covered in signs telling you what not to do :)

We walked into Keswick along lovely road & paths, saw standing stones and ate in great pub and then got taxi back for under £10.

The views are gorgeous. You can hear the road A66 which is the only shame but the wind beat the cars in the end! Linda is great at keeping in touch and this site has good access for Motorhomes.

 Burns Farm is a well laid out site with large pitches.

It has excellent WiFi.

Contactless check-in worked a treat and good Covid-19 precautions in place.

 Really good location. Our first camping trip which started off as a nightmare - we're not technically minded!

After contacting Rachel she came out straight away and offered to contact other campers to help us sort our problem.

Really can't complain as it was very affordable and perfect for our first venture.

 First time caravan owners. We struggled with the awning but two lovely couples came to help us. We then enjoyed a wonderful stay of 7 nights.

The site is clean and wonderfully quiet & every thing we wanted from a site.

We will definitely visit again as this is our preferred spot in Cumbria

 Great site with great facilities, we had a hard standing which was perfect.

Lots of local walks in the area and the views of Blencathra every morning is stunning

Reviewer: Welshmanwandering 5 reviews from this member

 A really nice little site, very well set out and in a superb location, the views will be very hard to better anywhere. Perfect for Keswick and the castlerigg stone circle.

The shower block is a bit dated and probably to small when the site is busy. However I believe there are plans to rectify this in the near future.

We were on a hardstanding, which was probably a bit on the tight size, we were told this though, before we booked.

Access is as easy as it gets just off the A66. The owners were really friendly and very helpful. As for value, pound for pound its hard to beat, we paid £23 a night for a serviced pitch.

Will I go back 100% yes

Reviewer: Purplemadboy 5 reviews from this member

 Nice site with some lovely reviews now that a few trees have thinned. Pitches are nice and flat with great drainage. The owners were very helpful in letting my run my WCS off lead chasing a ball.

Site is handy enough for Keswick & close enough to the shell petrol station to get a newspaper in the morning. Now the bit I don’t like doing after the owners have been so helpful.

Difficult to get sky tv if you go on to the pitches on the right hand side of either field as I found to my cost.

Toilets & showers look good but in reality there not, showers are ok but no place to put shampoo etc, not enough space to put your close when drying, no seat for us oldies so that I can dry my feet.

Even if there was a seat there isn’t room for one. But worst of all the bottom legs on every shower and the tile around it are filthy, not just that day’s dirt but I don’t think they’ve been cleaned since the day they were installed.

I had one shower and shave & because of the faff and dirt I showered in the van the rest of the time.

I can’t see how to post a picture.

 Wished we had more time to stay at this lovely site.

What a nice girl Linda is and helpful too. The site was spotless, showers and toilets too.

My husband and I hope to come back next year for a longer visit. Best wishes to all at Burns Farm.
