Just got back from staying 3 nights here in our folding camper. No complaints whatsoever.
£12 per night for my my wife and myself. A little muddy after all the previous weeks rain but that was no problem for us, all the campers in tents looked happy enough as well.
We reported to the farmhouse on arrival and were told to select any pitch we wanted, so we were able to get quite a dry spot by the wall.
The road was next to this wall but traffic noise was not a problem. We will definitely use this site again if we go back to the lakes.
We were mad enough to motorhome (or motor-roam) in the Lakes in June. Two Keswick sites didn't have the time / courtesy to respond to our phone messages left at their invitation. Two had rallies. One was enormous, so we discounted it. The sixth had all its pitches bagged by seasonal caravans. So I was very relieved to get booked in here, by such a welcoming owner, and to find it so convenient to Keswick.
For £11 we had all we wanted: we got to choose our EHU pitch in full sun on fairly flat grass (with newly laid drains)with glorious views to surrounding crags; a freshly painted toilet block (the owners clean it with a hose from the ceiling down, so it's best to go with your own loo roll as what's there may be wet); and good dog walking / swimming at Thirlmere reservoir in one direction, or across the main road beyond the old bridge in the other direction. Lots of walking or cycling possibilities locally too. The few statics are in a neighbouring paddock, but don't block the views or dominate the site. The hill overlooking us was used by small tents. We didn't use the 20p showers, or the campers kitchen (microwave, kettle), or the pot wash, so I can't speak for these. There's basic recycling bins (glass separated from general rubbish).
On Thursday I thought - what a gem of a site, and so quiet too! But sadly the gem was flawed - on Friday four units (about a dozen adults) partied loudly outside until past 1 a. M. Their mob of children were no less rude during the day: one came to our door to stare in while his dog cocked its leg on our steps and the constant screaming by the whole gang with their lack of respect for people's personal space or property meant there was none of Thursday's blissful peace and quiet on Saturday and Sunday.
However, the bad manners of children and their parents aren't the fault of the site, so I'd happily recommend Bridge End for what it offers at reasonable cost. But if you want the relaxing tranquility that we so much enjoyed, it may be best to avoid weekends: we'd readily come back again midweek. Oh- and the midges were atrocious! clouds of them! and biting too.
We literally stumbled upon this site and I have nothing but a great review for it and the owners.
As the last person said, the owners son showed us to the field and we were told to pith where ever we liked. Expecting the worst, it was just £12 a night for our tourer, electric, my husband and I and our 2 children.
What was fantastic is that kids aren't payable until the age of 8.
The toilets and showers were nice and clean, waste disposal, water etc was all near the shower block.
On the hill in front of our van an International group set up camp for the days that we were there. It was lovely to see the women making bread in the morning and night around a camp fire.
The scenery is lovely. Plenty of photo opportunities. I think the site is approx. 4 miles into Keswick.
All in all, I can't recommend this site highly enough.
Just spent 3 nights there. Lovely setting - mountain views - big field for tents not requiring electric, field with statics tourers and tents with electric. Lots of space in big field for tents and £4 person children cheaper cost us £12 night for 12 man tent 2 adults 3 children. Close to Keswick and you can book. Doubt you will find anywhere as cheap. You can book in advance unlike other places. Owners really friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets clean with hot water. Dog and bone pub Keswick good menu and lets you take dogs in. In square near chip shop.
We found a laid back gem ! site has about 20 EHU. But also lots of extra space for tents etc. We arrived and owners were at shops, so were directed to just find a spot and pitch, by their 11 year old son, after he had got off his farm tractor which he adequately drove into farmyard !
Facilities are ok. Mens- 2 toilets, 2 showers (20p) and a trough! didn't go into ladies ! however, spotlessly clean ! great location. 5 miles keswick, 15 minutes grasmere.
Only negative - if you want T.V, you need a sat dish ! we have a great directional aerial, but it was a no go !
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
Spent a couple of nights here just after the Easter weekend and it was ideal. There was quite a bit of rain, so the ground was pretty soft, but it held out well.
The location is brilliant - about 5 miles from Keswick in the direction of Grasmere. There's a bus stop at the end of the lane, with regular buses running in both directions. There are ideal opportunities for walking: Thirlmere, Watendlath, Borrowdale on one side of the road and the Helvellyn range of the other.
Facilities are pretty basic, but spotlessly clean and plenty hot water. Fees are cheap - only £11 for two adults + EHU + camper.
Visited this site for an overnight stay on the Sunday of August Bank Holiday weekend. The campsite had several tourers and quite a few tents, but still had room - surprising for the Lakes, but probably due to the awful weather that we've had recently!
The owners were very friendly and the toilet block was very clean & adequate. There were 2 showers in each block, which required 20p, I think, although I didn't use them.
The situation was beautiful - just a few minutes walk to the Lake and we liked the fact that you could pitch your tent on top of little hillocks at the top of the field, giving you your own space (although quite a steep path up). Fantastic views towards the Helvelllyn range and Castle Crag (when the rain stopped)! If you didn't want to pitch your tent at the top, they had a field adjacent to the farm.
Price was £4 per person. Pub/hotel 20 mins walk. Nearest shops in Keswick or Grasmere. Really good, if you just want a basic site.
This was our first camping experience and this site certainly helped to make it a huge success!
We had a large tent and the owners were really accommodating as well as very friendly and helpful. Toilet and shower block was very adequate. The hills around were excellent for the kids to climb and they were a good substitute for a playground. The views were stunning.
Very close to Thirlmere which is such a peaceful lake - perfect for a holiday and the site itself is the ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
We had a lot of rain the first few days and the ground got rather muddy. We also broke quite a few tent pegs, but these were little things that didn't spoil the holiday in the slightest. Very friendly people frequented the site and gave us lots of tips and help.
