 Just come back from a lovely week at Lanefoot Farm, with typical Lake District weather to keep us company. (Mum, Dad, 18yr old, 15yr old, 12 yr old) It's a smaller site with some caravans there for the long haul, and lots of tourers/tents coming and going. (We also had a quick peek in the Shepherd's hut and cabins, which look great if you like that kind of thing. )
It was busy as it was the first full week of the school holidays, but because of the stunning views it never really felt too crowded. The owner was very welcoming, and the small shop / office is open regularly with a good selection of stock, and the added bonus of firewood to burn in the old car wheel borrowed for the purpose. An excellent idea which should be repeated at all campsites that I want to visit!
The facilities were clean, and the water was good and hot, excellent for doing the washing up. My only slight criticism would be that they could do with having a couple more toilets and showers as all of the sinks for people washing are in with each toilet, which means you end up standing around waiting for a loo when people are cleaning their teeth!
While you were waiting though there were sheep, chickens and geese wandering about for added entertainment.
To make up for it though there was an amazing drying room, which came in very useful during the week we had!
The area itself is magnificent and we did several walks, (Skiddaw, Lord's Seat, Helvellyn, ) and lots of touristy things too, (Distillery, pencil museum and the amazing KingKong climbing centre in Keswick which is a must if you have older children who need entertaining in the wet!)
I would happily recommend this site and we might make it back again with less children, to walk some more of those magnificent peaks.

This was the first stop on a long holiday for us and we couldn't wait to leave. Very very overcrowded with noisy groups, farmyard full of junk on the way in and to/from the toilets. It was like camping in a car park.
I told the owner I thought everyone was pitched too close to each other and that the photos of the site showed a spacious meadow and he actually said 'I think folk put too much store on photos on the internet'! I nearly fell over. Thankfully it was only a two night stop.
We seemed to be in an overflow paddock, there was a yard full of sheep and our field was full of sheep poo so I suspect the sheep had been evicted to make way for the campers. There were a few sheep pottering around the camping field. Could be considered sweet if you are not used to seeing animals I suppose. Until they get tangled up in your guy lines as happened several times, not to us, but to the many nearby tents.
Showers very good though and a well stocked shop.

Had a fantastic week at Lanefoot! Weather made it all the more enjoyable! Even the Lake District folk said what beautiful weather we had.
The campsite itself was very quirky, spread out over 3 separate areas. A campsite mainly for tents behind the farmhouse where there were also 3 'pods', 2 vintage caravans and a shepherds hut, all for hire and for most of the time they nearly all had someone in them. On the other side of the tiny road that ran between the site, there were 10 hard standings with half of those having seasonal caravans on them with no one in them until the Friday night when we were due to leave early on the Sat. There was also a large camping field the other side of a maturing hedge which for the the most part of our week there, it was quite empty, but come the Friday, it was full. When we arrived the previous Sat, it was also full, but by the time we got back from our day out on the Sun, it had emptied! So, for the most part, it was a lovely peaceful site.
The views were stunning with a bit of an air show a couple of the evenings. Aircraft flying low over Bassenthwaite lake.
Keswick was only a 5 minute drive away and is a lovely market town with a very handy CoOp and a Booths supermarket.
Site is positioned nicely for touring the Lake District with so much to see! There is a Slate mine museum not too far away from the campsite which didn't appeal to the ladies in our little party(we went with friends) but the men went off and were full of praise when they returned. Lots of massive bits of machinery that you could just wander around, with people around to tell you anything you wanted to know. Us ladies just had a lazy day, reading and having a little drink and chillin'.
The owners were lovely, as were the lambs that were wandering around! I don't know if the facilities were adequate enough at the weekends when it was full of campers but as we have our own, it didn't affect us.
If we go back to that area again I would definitely return to this campsite. A beautiful part of the country.
Oh yes, one of the nicest things you can do at this campsite, is hire a 'fire pit' which is a old wheel rim, and along with the bags of wood the farm sold you for £5. 50, was a lovely touch in the evenings. Although the evenings the week we were there, weren't cold, it's still nice to do and many of the campers did the same.

I've used this site many times over the last 5 years. I'd persuaded friends to come camping, but his wife is a reluctant camper so we booked the pods. Must say they are excellent. Small oil filled radiator came in handy as was a touch nippy on the nights. Very comfortable. Wonderful site and close to all attractions and walks. Would recommend this site to anyone. Views from the site are amazing. Another plus is the Middle Ruddings pub which is 10 mins walk away.

Stayed for the May Bank Holiday weekend. I can reiterate what all others have said in the great little site, I pre booked a pitch hoping for fine weather. On arrival got given the choice of a couple of pitches to camp on. All facilities continue to be spot on. Lashings of Hot water even to wash your hands. Fire pit great and no issue with very wet weather which we experienced. Grey water disposal point. Electric tent pitch used. Would certainly use it again & recommend it to use, very pleasant & helpful owners.

First time I've used this site and what a great find. Located about 3 miles from Keswick and a 10-15 minute walk to 3 excellent pubs in Braithwaite. Excellent base for the fells and Bassenthwaite Lake.
It's a working farm and owners are very friendly. Facilities are good, some recently refurbished by the look of it.
A bonus was that the site provides fire pits and logs for campfires for a small charge.
Excellent site.

We have stayed on the site on many occasions and absolutely love it! An added bonus is that's it walking distance to the pub and as well as lots of walks nearby. It is a quite basic site but clean and friendly its overlooked by the mountains. Highly recommended as long as you are not looking for lots of mod cons and facilities.

This was a lovely campsite in 5 minutes drive of Keswick, nearby to Bassenthwaite Lake. Small shop on site selling basic bits and pieces including wood. Campfires were allowed which was great. Could hear the road but this didn't bother us (and is be expected as the campsite is close to the A66). The site was family run and very friendly. We stayed in a tent but the vintage caravans, shepherds hut and pods all looked good. The only thing that I felt needed improvement really was the showers. There were only three showers (unisex) so these were quite busy. Ideally this site needs separate male and female showers so that there is a changing area, this would really help. Also one of the showers was rubbish but the other two worked ok. However I would recommend this campsite and would stay here again. Oh yes, it was also in walking distance of a real ale pub (Middle Ruddings) which is always a bonus!

Lovely campsite near the base of skidaw. Fantastic views of the hills. Plenty of space over a few small fields. Excellent facilities with clean, warm showers. Staff are very friendly. Fires allowed which is always a bonus. Small shop which stocks the basics. Pub within walking distance. Not far from Keswick. It is located beside an A road but we didn't. Notice the traffic.

Just back from a week at Lanefoot. It was heaven, even though we had rain for most of the week. On arrival welcomed by Gareth, went to a new place to put the tent, it was great, nice and peaceful.
The showers were hot as usual and had no waiting, the washing up facilities are excellent again no waiting, also we had no problems waiting for the toilet facilities. The shop also stocks fresh bread, milk, bacon and eggs (provided by the chickens that roam freely). Also looked forward to the homemade cupcakes which we can highly recommend.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat, Keswick is about 5 minutes drive, and there are numerous places to eat, one of our favourites is The Kingfisher, which does excellent fish and chips. The market days are Thursday and Saturday, you can get fresh fruit and vegetables, and mostly anything from here.
If you are looking for a very relaxing place to stay, then Lanefoot is the place to be. Can't wait for next year.

Although there was some noise from the nearby dual carriageway during the day, at night all was peaceful in this beautifully located campsite with breathtaking views of Skiddaw revealed in a number of different guises as the weather changed. Showers and toilets were not as plentiful as could be expected given the number of pitches on this site but they were clean and tidy. A great base for walking and cycling.

This is a well positioned site for walking/cycling set with Skiddaw and Grisedale Pike surrounding. Camp fires allowed and large bag of logs about a £5 but would last a few nights. Small shop for some basics, but Keswick 2. 5 miles. Amenities are a bit basic as farm camp site but include showers, toilets and drying room, which is god send. I found staff very friendly and helpful.
All in all a great little site I would re-visit again.

Have visited this friendly site a few times. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Good location for walking in the North Lakes and close to Keswick for food shopping etc.
Facilities are reasonable and had been improved and added to since we last went. Very useful that it has a little shop so you can buy milk/ bacon etc in the mornings.

Just arrived home from a very busy 3 night stay at this lovely campsite. We were 2 tents, 4 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs! This campsite is ideally located if you want to walk/bike/Go Ape in Whinlatter Forrest, we have done all 3 and the kids absolutely loved it! Keswick is just down the road if you want shops etc. Braithwaite - you can walk to it for nice pubs etc.
Facilities were fab and clean. 3 showers and 1 wash cubicle and although the site was pretty busy we didn't have to queue at all. Washing up area indoors. The facilities are all in farm outbuildings so more shabby chic than modern but all clean and the showers were as hot as you wanted them to be.
Very picturesque and seemed to be a working farm with chickens, sheep and a very friendly pony. The views were amazing!
There are fire pits dotted around if you want them and you can buy wood in their shop. Lots of people used them which gave a nice atmosphere in the evening. We had no problems with noise, all the campers respected each others peace. There was enough space for our kids to play football and rounders early evening, before settling down in front for the fire pit to chill before bedtime!
All in all a great campsite - will definitely be visiting again.
