 Stayed at this site for a week at end of August, the first thing that I noticed was the number of notices around the site. We were staying on the non CL part of the site.
The small river running adjacent to the site is beautiful, and being a keen fisherman was quick to give it a go, it contains large numbers of very small wild brown trout, 4 - 6 inches, but during the week I did manage one of a pound and one threequarters of a pound, delicious!
The site is convenient for the lakes and the countryside is beautiful in this area, our favourite was a visit to Keswick and Borrowdale.
I did manage to see the Red Squirrels on one occasion whilst fishing, but unfortunately had just taken my camera from my fishing bag!
The toilets and showers are kept very clean and tidy in the individual huts, however, if someone filled their water barrel whilst you were showering, the electric shower tripped on low pressure and went cold.It was pleasing to see a good recycling policy is in use.
We had a quite a lot of rain whilst there, and towards the back end of the week had standing water in the awning, probably due to the fact we were pitched at the bottom of the slope.

Last minute decision to make the most of good weather for a weekend break around Keswick, this site was the third site on our route for just turn up without even phone up to book, lots people must be doing the same because first two sites were full, we are so glad as it happened. It's not easy to find no wonder still got pitches free, for £12 a night with all the facilities needed (no dish wash area), can't help but stay longer than needed in the toilet because it almost like an information centre with books, local information etc. in it
It's quiet but we like it, watching red squirrel running 10 ft from us, it's best CL site we’ve been, the owner took pride of it. Will definitely return.

Spent 5 nights at Riverside and the peace and quiet was absolutely fantastic. The wildlife on site is quite something if you enjoy this sort of thing. The toilet and shower facilities are very good even if they look like garden sheds don't let this put off they are very clean and the showers water was always nice and hot.
Being adults only for us was a great bonus not that we have anything against children (we have 8 grand children)but it just added to the peace. There are no shops in the village but if you drive to the next one you will find essentials there. One tiny criticism is that if you are a mobile phone fiend the signal is either none existent or quite poor unless you can find a hotspot. Would we return, the answer has to be an emphatic YES

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at this fantastic site.
I totally agree with the other reviews - Yes the dog walk is small but ideal for those early morning, last thing at night trips. The site is immaculate, the facilities clean, nice shower and perfect location away from the touristy area.
The Old Crown pub is about a mile away and does very nice food, good real ale and friendly company - dogs are welcome in the bar and for a trial period also in the small dining room.
The site is close to the Lakes, has good walks around, nearest shop is near the pub (about 1 mile) but this is closed on Sundays.
We had a great time and felt totally relaxed after our visit (would have stayed longer but for work commitments) and at £12 per night a total bargain.

This site is a gem, immaculately kept, set in gorgeous countryside on the fringe of the northern lake district but close enough to get into the hills for the energetic. The site is extremely well laid out with electrics and basic but perfectly adequate facilities to be found in garden sheds but don't let that put you off - they are exceptionally clean (unlike many other sites) and perfectly functional - they have a charm of their own!
We have rarely found the peace and quiet which exists here and will definitely be returning. The area is quiet but easily accessible fro Penrith, keswick and 'Carlisle. We're into walking and were heading up the hills within a 10 minute drive - keswick and the bigger hills a bit longer.
Part of me is reluctant to share this review as I would hate the site to get too difficult to get into, but it really is excellent and the owners, who really do seem to be customer focussed deserve the recognition for what we believe is one of the best sites in the country - bar none!
Definitely hoping to return soon. For those with children I'm afraid you'll have to wait as it is adults only - we used to be a bit put off by that but to be honest it is probably why we now like it, no footballs, bikes etc, frankly young children would probably get bored anyway. Am writing this review as we sit in the van on the Keswick site (having now got in) - the location remains gorgeous and proximity to the high fells closer, but all of a sudden this feels like industrial camping, impersonal, not so friendly and sadly not so clean! Riverside camp site absolutely strongly recommended.

Have been to this site twice now and have just booked to go again for the end of August (counting down the days). It is a lovely site set in peaceful countryside without the sound of screamingy kids. I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a quite time away in a lovely location. The owners should feel very proud of themselves for running such a lovely site.

This is how all sites should be !
Beautiful surroundings well cared for site no brats just total peace and quiet.
The site is divided into two, one half being the caravan clubs cl this has 11 pitches but only 5 are in use at any one time so you are not packed in like sardines.
Located about 3 miles from the lovely village of Caldbeck and within 15 miles to Carlisle,Penrith or Keswick at around £11 per night it just doesn't get much better than this.

We have just returned after a two week stay at the riverside touring park and were so delighted with our stay there. Such friendly hosts, dawn and john, nothing was too much trouble, and a beautifully kept site, toilet and shower facilities were spotlessly clean, (no piped music!) for those that can't live without it!
All you get is peace and quiet, a little babble from the beck! a few baaaaa's from the surrounding fields, full of sheep, & lambs, one of the friendliest sites I have ever visited.
Will definitely be going back there.

Cracking little site, well run and super clean with very helpful owners. They may have garden sheds as toilet and shower but could teach other sites thing or twoas excllent.
The views and area are lovely.
A credit to its owners, I will be back.

We just stayed one night at this site on our way to Scotland the site is very clean our dog loved the river that runs along its edge .
John the owner was very friendly and gave direction for a lovely walk in fields adjacent to the site we saw loads of rabbit's even came close to Tony owl ,would have loved to have had more time to explore this area
Like previous reviews don't be put off by the shower and toilet sheds. They are very different even running to a clock and bookshelves in the loo could have spent ages in there.
Hope to spend more time there on our next trip up north.
