 Just a field with portacabin toilets and showers. No campsite atmosphere at all but we were forced into choosing this over the other lakeside campsite as the lakeside one only accepts bookings of a week in high season.You needed both hands and good grip to open the toilets, after climbing 2 steps. No washing up or laundry (which had been removed after we booked.) The only thing its got going for it seems to be the location.

Had a fantastic week here on the Walker Park. Loads of room and very quiet (noise well controlled by wardens). Shared toilet / showers with Walker Park. As mentioned in the previous review, the site was quite wet.
We were there during a week of floods when the adjacent Keswick Caravan and camping club site had to evacuate half its units one night. This site held up excellently given such wet conditions. There was puddles of water (understandably!) but the ground was very firm and not in the least boggy or even muddy really.
Lack of hook ups a small price to pay for such a fantastic site. Will be back again.

The oval. Good location. Very clean showers. Awnings not allowed, we where not told this got a telling off. Did not feel at all comfortable on this site.
There is a field behind this site, but no electric points as yet and seemed to be very water logged. Awnings ok on this one
Would stay again though but not on the oval.

Camping & Caravanning Club site without electric hookup. Toilets / showers in portacabins, shared with The Oval next door, immaculately clean, but rather on the small side.
As previously reviewed, this has been a football field, apparently football club has now moved to a new site so hopefully the club will be able to fully develop the site. No facilities at all for families with children, rather a long trek (car probably needed) to washing up & laundry facilities on main Keswick site next door.
You really do not need to use your car once pitched, as a 5 min walk in to Keswick with a supermarket, shops, & a bus station.
Biggest downside for us was the waterlogged field after heavy rain, contrary to a previous reviewer I would say the field does not drain at all, in fact it was boggy all the time we were there (8 days). It was so bad we returned home 2 days early. A potentially beautiful site, spoiled by bad ground conditions. We would only visit again if it was substantially improved.

Spent three nights at The Oval site just before Christmas. Pitches are all flat and level with water and electricity points. Shower facilities are in Portacabins, but they were spotlessly clean and heated.
The main attraction of the site is the fact that it is just a minutes walk from Keswick, with its various attractions, pubs, restaurants and shops. Derwentwater is also a very short walk from the site too, through one of the town centre parks. In easy reach of the site are several excellent walks, as the town is surrounded by many high fells. Would certainly use the site again.

Popular Choice in this Area
Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
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

This site was clean and well kept. There are no alternative facilities when the toilets are being cleaned. Motorhomes must go to the other larger CCC Site to dispose of grey water. Close to Keswick centre and not far from a Supermarket.
Do not drive over the centre of the football pitch as you will be breaking the golden rule of the site. Good site overall.

We used this site as a base for visiting Keswick and the Keswick Beer Festival. It's location is ideal, being only a 5 minute walk into the centre of town and adjacent to the Rugby Club where the fesival was being held. A few minutes walk in the other direction brings you to nice park land and Derwent Lake.
The site is simply a football pitch with portacabin facilities block and water points. There's no electrcity points, but the site is an excellent, and cheap, alternative to the usually very busy Keswick CCC site. Pitches are spacious, flat and were perfectly firm while we were there.
A great site, will certainly return!

Spent one night at this site as we were luck enough to actually get a one-off pitch. The site is well-located for the lively town of Keswick, as well as Borrowdale and other Lake District locations. Staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were superb. Would love to return - if I ever manage to get booked up, as this is such a popular site!

We went to this site as we had been on the sister site of Keswick which is right next door and didn't need an awning (which are not allowed on this site due to council regulations). The site managers were fantastic as they all are at keswick C&CC sites cheerful, helpful and always ready for a chat. The site is mainly statics with a walk down to the lake (Derwentwater). Very close (2 minutes) to keswick town centre and all its attractions. Clean HOT showers, very clean site wouldn't hesitate to return if only for a weekend due to no awnings being allowed. The other downside is that if you book on-line the minimum stay is 3 nights. These are popular sites in a great town so if you want a pitch I suggest you book early!

This site is adjacent to the Derwentwater Caravan Park in Keswick, and is managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club from that site. It shares with that site the advantage of being within walking distance of the shops and amenities of Keswick
It is a large field, no electric hookups, but has toilets and showers (portacabins, but of a very high standard). There are no laundry and wash up facilities, but the ones on the Derwentwater site, can be used.
It was quite wet when we visited, but the field must be very well drained as it dried out very quickly when the rains stopped. Surprisingly no tents are allowed, but this is because for most of the year the field is a football pitch and the Council have stipulated the ground must be kept to a high standard, and that no tents are allowed.
Units are sited along the sides of the field, and awnings are allowed.
We would visit Walker Park again ; it is a quieter alternative to the larger nearby CCC site at Keswick, and is particularly suited to smaller units.
