Reviewer: Kernow Camper 215 reviews from this member

 The booking in system works well. Arrival time is from 1pm but everyone seems to start the queue from noon! Very organised, one warden sends you in to book in and pay at the office then the other bikes you around the site offering you a choice of pitches.

2 facilities blocks, both very clean.

Good size pitches and lots of new hard standings since we last stayed.

Stunning views of Derwentwater and the surrounding fells.

Short walk into the town of Keswick. Booths supermarket, expensive but handy, closest to the site.

Plenty of really good pubs and cafes in town, most doggie friendly.

Hope Park and Keswick Launch are both worth a visit. Buy your launch tickets from the campsite reception and it'll save you £1 per person (cash only though!). We used the hop on/hop off service and it was great value at just under £10 each.

Can also highly recommend The George Hotel in Keswick town for Sunday roasts!

Can't wait to go back again sometime in the very near future!

 I usually feel a bit daunted on a large site, but the pleasant and helpful staff have a very efficient booking in system that quickly got us through the barrier and shown several pitches until we selected one we liked, although it was a bit of a trek to the toilet block. The Site manager gave us a quick run down on where everything was. I found all the staff friendly and helpful. The service block was very clean and well looked after, the shower was push button but gave a generous time and a nice temperature. There was a good recycling system with plenty of bins around the park. Keswick has an eclectic selection of shops including a Booths supermarket with a cafe or as we preferred a fairly good Co-op. It is a short walk to Booths and the buses run from there too. They were very busy in the mornings! I was disturbed by a yacky dog in the mornings but other than that the site was quite quiet.

Reviewer: Becky1618 1 review from this member

 Spent a great long weekend at the site, it was very efficient booking over the phone and this was also the case upon arrival. A man on a bike shpwed us to our car parking space and then we picked our space by the water. The location is fantastic with views right over ullswater and the borrowdale valley - it never gets old :))

The on site facilities are fab, shower and toilet blocks are clean and modern. We went before the english holidays started (we're scottish)and the site wasn't too mobbed but often when the convention is on etc. It can get very busy.

It's a short walk to booths and town and there is much to do for kids like the king kong climbing centre and kayaking on the lake.

We also walked up skiddaw and catbells, both of which we walked to from the campsite which was handy and tired the kids out!

The old keswickian and the dog and gun are our favourite places to go for food in keswick and the close location of the campsite means we can walk there and back, have a beer and not have to think about driving!

Overall a lovely campsite in a lovely spot, there's nothing better than opening up your tent to the view of catbells! Couldn't as for more :)))

Reviewer: Riff 15 reviews from this member

 We joined the Camping and Caravanning Club 17 years ago specifically so we could us this site as we were attending a nearby event in Keswick.

We have camped in our tent here most years (sometimes twice a year) since then. However, a recent change to the site layout means this location will no longer be my first choice for a stay in Keswick.

They have recently laid a lot more hardstandings and tarmac here to cater for even more campervans/caravans. Annoyingly, these new hardstandings are quite close to the shower blocks and four of them have even been laid on the area set aside for backpackers who purposely travel light and use small tents. This has somewhat reduced the options for backpackers

There are now very few tent pitches near the showers, whereas the campervans/caravans who usually have their own on-board 'facilities' are pitched nice and close to the amenities. Most of the few tent pitches close to the showers that do remain require you to pay extra for an electric hook-up. That's IF you can find any available grass pitches with hook-up for the dates you want to stay there.

So what is left for us (seemingly embarrassing 'poor relations') in a tent? Well, it's a far distant field referred to as 'the island' that according to my GPS and my pedometer is 1/4 mile from the toilets. Now I love walking as a hobby. It's why I go to the Lake District. However, I DO object to having to make such a half-mile round trek every time I want to use the loo or have a wash. I've stayed closer to the facilities at music festivals and they tend to be held on much bigger sites.

No, my next Keswick stay will be at a different site unless the staff can assure us that we will be placed on a pitch where we are near the toilets and not shoved to the furthest end of the site! Either that or they need to provide some sort of amenities in the vicinity of 'the island' for those of us who are isolated down there.

 Spent 5 nights at this site. This was due to the fact that they have long minimum booking periods, which I is a shame as, for people who work Mon-Fri can rarely book in advance as they always require a 3-5 night booking,

The site is in a brilliant locations. The facilities have been updated. Good base for Keswick and Borrowdald.

Reviewer: Bhatcher 6 reviews from this member

 Checked in, and helped by a guy on a bike to choose a site we were happy with. Great view of mountains and lake, with lots of space. Beautifully kept site, shower block and laundry also immaculate.

We lost electricity one night, my fault for having the heating to high, but Simon came and showed me that it was my breaker had cut out, and was very helpful.

All the staff could not have been more helpful, and for bird lovers you are surrounded with ducks geese and swans.

Booths was 10 minutes walk away, and Keswick centre the same. Highly recommend.

 We spent the end of December and New Year on this lovely site.

The location is stunning and facilities are modern and well maintained.

Site wardens are rather fussy about enforcing rules.

I invited 2 friends to stay in our unit and was charged an extra £30+ on top of the £30 I'd already paid for the site.

Reviewer: Centreno13 11 reviews from this member

 This is perfectly located site on Derwent waters edge, a 5 minute walk to the centre of Keswick, with wonderful veiws of the Skiddaw range and Booths supermarket on your doorstep. Nice hard standing pitches, toilets and hot showers clean and worked well, grass got a bit muddy, but what do you expect in the Lake District on the edge of a lake in November! Have booked again for Christmas 2017. Fingers crossed for lots of snow!

Reviewer: 22114 11 reviews from this member

 Stayed on hundreds of campsites and this one is a stone cold ten out of ten!

On the lake.

Surrounded by mountains.

Keswick, 5 minutes walk.

What more do you want from this world?

Will return.

Reviewer: Kittybeldie 6 reviews from this member

 This is a nice site within walking distance of the centre of Keswick. It's also an ideal site to use as a base to roam the Lake District from.

The site wardens were pleasant and helpful, however despite the site being full one of the toilet blocks had been closed for the winter making it quite a hike to get to the one that was open. Having said that the facilities were spotless despite being well used.
