 This was our first campsite and I honestly can’t see us going anywhere else.
The facility’s are fantastic and the area is perfect for ticking off those Wainwrights.
The owner couldn’t do enough for us, he made us feel so welcome, he even offered to lend us a hand with putting up our tent as it was our first camping experience but certainly will not be our last at Castlerigg farm.
The views are amazing, you certainly won’t be disappointed at this campsite. Brilliant.

Fantastic site with a fantastic welcome as always, one of the best sites in Cumbria. Well kept site with gorgeous views.
Facilities are toilets, showers, laundry, washroom, very good and kept very clean. Useful shop on site for the things you forget to take. The site is on a slight slope, but nothing major.
The site is well situated for walking with lots of foot paths for long or short walks right out side the campsite.
I come back to this site time after time, it just keeps getting better and better.

Very friendly staff on arrival. Lovely site with fantastic views (when it's not raining - we were unlucky this time).
Good shower facilities. Well stocked shop with food and gifts. Lovely restaurant/pub on site with more very close by. 30 minute walk into Keswick.
Would not hesitate to recommend this site.

Fantastic site with cracking views and lots of great walks straight off the campsite! There are rules and regs, but they work!
I much prefer to know that it will be quiet after 10. 30pm so I can sit and look at the stars in peace - obviously we went outside the school holidays so I'm not sure how well observed this rule may be with kids about!
Facilities are brilliant and spotless and the staff friendly and attentive. Everything has been thought of, right down to the dog shower! The cafe is lovely and was a welcome break from the rain! We will definitely recommend and visit again.
The price is, well, very in keeping with other Lake district campsites - it's expensive in comparison to other parts of the country. It's much cheaper than the next site down!

Just arrived back from 9 days at Castlerigg Farm. This is the 1st time we have been here. We were well impressed by the owners, staff on site, everything was immaculate.
The views were to die for. The 10. 30pm quiet for everyone was brilliant but most nights it was quiet at about 10pm. The showers/toilet blocks were immaculate, we never had any problem with queues. There is also a laundry room, washing up facilities.
Can't wait to go back next year, looking forward to it all ready.

What can I say that hasn't been said already about this site ? It has everything you could ask for ! We've been staying at this site for the last 5 years, That must say a lot for it.
During this recent visit it was busy because of the heat wave yet there was still room to be had ! All the facilities were spotlessly clean and in working order.
There may have have queues for the showers and toilets at busy times but it's not a problem.
As always we'll be going back.

My favourite site in the area, had some lovely walks strait from the campsite including Walla Crag and Castlerigg Stone Circle with 4 yo daughter.
Very clean facilities and helpful staff. Very good value. Nice latte in the Hayloft. Stunning 360 degree views due to it's elevation.
Going back in 3 weeks!

Had a lovely four days here the week before Easter. It's very much a quiet site. Rules say no noise after 10. 30 but to be honest I rarely heard anything after about 9. 00.
On site cafe - The Hayloft- does good value pub grub and you can also pop in just for a drink which is lovely when it's just that little bit chilly for sitting in a tent.
I sat most of the evening with a bottle of wine and a good book on a couple of nights.
Not much to do for children but plenty of space for them to run around and make their own entertainment.

Great site and will be back again for a visit soon.
The site is well situated for walking with lots of foot paths for long or short walk right out side the campsite. I never used it but the WiFi was accessible at the very top of the field.
One night was very windy when we stopped, didn't effect use but know a few people in the tent field said they would have opted for a more sheltered sport if they have realised.
Showers are 50p but I managed to wash my hair and had time left over.
Toilet block was never closed for cleaning but was spotless the whole time we were there.
No local shop unless you walk into Keswick (be warned it up hill on the way back) the site shop has milk and other small food items. Is a postbox at the end of the road if needed.

My Husband and I originally booked into Castlerigg Farm for 3 nights but ended up staying 4 as we liked it so much.
The toilet and shower facilities were kept very clean.
All the staff on the site were very pleasant and willing to help in any way.
We had a couple of meals in the Hayloft which were really good. There is a little bar at a hotel just outside the campsite which is very welcoming. We walked into Keswick a few times which is full of lovely shops and pubs and of course places to eat.
We had our two dogs with us and it was great as they are allowed in the pubs and most of the shops so your not restricted by taking them with you.
We will definitely be returning to Castlerigg Farm next year with the family.

We chose this site particularly because they have a 10. 30pm silence rule and were so glad to find it holds up to its quiet reputation, we enjoyed a good sleep every night. The facilities were lovely and clean, nice little shop and the on site cafe/restaurant provided great food at good value. The bonus to this site is the fabulous views, wherever you look the views are amazing and if you get good weather the sunsets over the mountains is a photographers dream. The staff were really helpful showing us to the available pitches and it was handy having our vehicle next to our pitch. Great place to stay. We were told this site is updating its facilities doubling the size of all the showers, toilets etc and adding disabled facilities and a campers kitchen.

Rang up a few hours before we arrived & booked the last EHU pitch available (like most sites in the lake district EHUs are booked quickly even outside of school holidays). On arrival, the rules were read out, & we were warned they “would be enforced”. He scared us enough we didn’t dare break them. However, nor did anyone else, so a lovely quiet site after 1030pm.
Toilets & facilities were good. The on site cafe “Hayloft” was amazing, really lovely converted barn, small terrace area, and the food brilliant. We had the burgers which were massive, well presented & very tasty. Wainwrights @£3 per bottle reasonably priced too.
Due to a poorly dog, we didn’t manage much walking from the site, but there is a decent walk down to Keswick town from the site, & we did manage the shortish walk to the stone circle nearby (via level fields/lane).
Opposite the campsite is Castlerigg Hall campsite which has a good campshop, but is even more regulated, & more expensive than Castlerigg Farm. Next door is also the small Heights hotel, which has a decent bar & pretty garden. Good for local ale, & is 100% vegetarian so has an interesting menu. Didn’t try the food, but it looked good.
Views from the pitch was amazing – Thirlmere in the distance, & some glorious local peaks. Watched some beautiful sun sets & saw the moon rise each night. Views from the toilet block, include over Derwentwater itself. Beautiful site all in all, would definitely stay again.

Just returned from a two night stay at Castlerigg Farm Campsite.
I have to agree with quite a few of the previous positive and negative reviews about this site.
We arrived on Friday night unexpectedly and easily got a pitch. They do not take bookings for tents.
There was only myself and my 3 year old daughter and the cost was £36 without EHU. I felt this was a little expensive. There also seems to be extra charges for everything ie. Showers (50p for 3 1/2 mins), plug sockets (50p), hair dryers (20p)Freezer block freezing (20p each)
There are no water points in the camping field and we were put right up at the top of the hill, fortunately, we had a large water container to see us through the weekend. As previous reviews state the water was brown!
The site is spotlessly clean and is in a lovely location, ideal for walking. The bar / restaurant looks great we didn't eat there but had a drink and prices were reasonable. There is a small shop on site that seems to sell the essentials but we didn't use it.
The staff are very friendly but there are a lot of rules and you will be given a copy upon arrival!
Would I recommend this site? probably but there are other sites that are lots cheaper nearby.
Would I stay here again? probably not due to the costs.

We stopped here in the summer half term and really enjoyed it. We keep returning year after year to this site as we enjoy it so much.
As has been said, the views are stunning from the campsite, and the rules are generally adhered to.
A nice little shop selling the usual basic things. Nearby is a small pub serving local real ale. Some people have mentioned the shower block as an issue, it's never bothered us and is always clean.
Also, it's a long 3. 5 minutes for the 50 pence. Looking forward to my next visit.
