 Excellent site - extremely busy in March so that must speak for its popularity.
Wardens are lovely - very friendly - toilets / showers immaculate. In fact whole site extremely well kept.
Its a very large site - over 160 pitches - so it does feel rather full. However that's just a comment for those that prefer smaller sites.
Overall very high standard on the site and recommended for a stop in the North Lakes.

This is a first class site, set in a beautiful location with stunning views. We spent 4 nights here over the coldest period the area has seen for some time -7. But we had a fantastic stay and the views around the area were truly magnificent.
The wardens were helpful and friendly. The 2 toilet blocks were immaculate, however, one did close over the weekend due to low numbers. But both had decent sized showers and cubicles with sinks and hairdryers within allowing privacy. There is plenty to do in the area, as well as walking.
My only criticism would be on the final day the departure out of the site consists of a slight incline then a bend leading up a short but fairly steep hill. As the weather was so icy the slope had been well gritted and was OK to drive up with car and van, however, the approach to the slope was never gritted and caused units to get stuck and slide, caravanners were left to sort this themselves, no assistance from the wardens.

A truly 5 star site. Everything perfect. Wardens ultra but genuinely friendly, stunning views from the pitches if you turn right after passing thru the site barrier, toilets and shower areas spotless. Sky t.V no problem.
Turn right out of the site towards Ullswater/ Glenridding. Again stunning views as you get your first glimpse of Ullswater. Car parks in Glenridding . The one were you catch the Ullswater steamer is on the expensive side, yet the larger one opposite the 'Inn on the Lake hotel' is cheaper, park here for free. Toilets before you walk out of the back of the car park and head for Hellvelyn. Again stunning views over Ullswater. Of couse 1/2 an hours drive away is Ambleside and Lake Windermere via the pass. Don't forget to stop for a coffee at the pub before you start your decent into Ambleside. Turning left out of the site and up to the A66 turn left again and head towards Keswick. Walk up thru the 'serviced pitches' at the site for a lovely walk thru the forest. Do you think we will return. ASAP!

I have stayed at this site many times and it is perfect for the North Lakes. Clean,and manicured to the highest standard that we have come to expect from the Caravan Club. The views to the mountains are stunning and at this time of year there are fabulous sunsets. However, those clouds over the mountains are equally breathtaking and the whole place has a special atmosphere. It may rain a lot there, but to be honest, I get disappointed if it doesn't!
Great staff, great essentials shop. Just puuurrrrfect.

We had a 2 night stay at this site, it didn't stop raining from the minute we arrived until the minute we left, but this didn't ruin our stay. The views from our caravan were nothing short of stunning! The nearby Rookin Farm had excellent entertainment, so my partner booked himself in there to go on the quadbikes and horseriding - I chose to walk our dogs through the Mell Fell Forest which was lovely and peaceful. We went for a drive out to Kendal and there was a fantastic farmers market on with lots of homemade food and homegrown veg etc. The heated toilet block was lovely and clean and the shower cubicles were very spacious. We have booked to go back to this site later on in the year - my partner is more excited about returning to Rookin Farm than anything else!

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 is an outstanding site. Facilities are the best I've seen: spotlessly clean, large shower cubicles and heated blocks. Despite the site being very busy, there were always plenty showers and toilets available. Service pitches include water point, waste point, electricity and TV point. The site also had a games rooms, shop and park and staff were helpful and friendly.
The surrounding area offers great walking. On the doorstep is the Matterdale Forest and Great Mell Fell. A little further and you have Blencathra, Ullswater, Aira Force etc. Next door to the site is the Rookin Activity Centre with several opportunities for outward bound activities, such as karting and rock climbing. The nearest pub is 20 minutes away by foot and the food looked very good but we couldn't get a table.
Would certainly return.

This is a stunning site, in a beautiful location, we had a fantastic couple of nights here. The wardens were very helpful and friendly. The 2 toilet blocks were absolutely immaculate, they had decent sized showers and cubicles with sinks and hairdryers within allowing privacy. Our 2 children (6 and 10 years old) loved the games room and the park equipment, although small, was better than some sites I have been at. There is plenty to do in the area, we had a trip on the Ullswater Steamers and went on a lovely walk around the Aira Force waterfalls. Make sure you have plenty of pound coins with you when visiting this area, practically every single car park is pay and display.

We stayed here on a miserable wet and rainy weekend in September. My review may be somewhat coloured by the awful weather. Unlike other reviewers I did not think this site was anything special. It is correct that there is a games room but children can only go in it if accompanied by and adult - which is the very last thing older children want so rather defeats the object. There is one pub you can walk to but it is a bit of a way, especially if returning in the hours of darkness down a long unlit country road. The shower blocks are fine (usual CC standard). There are a few small pieces of play equipment dotted about. If the weather permitted I am sure there are some walks you can do. The views are ok just countryside nothing spectacular.

We visited Troutbeck at Easter and its a lovely very tidy and clean campsite, the showers are spotless there are a couple of baths which you have to obtain a key for but great if you have small kids.
We loved the area but werent too keen on the site for kids really, to be fair the site did have a games room, which was very small, it had a play area not near the caravans and again very small and at the play area was a peice of grass which the kids could play ball games. Under no circumstances could the kids play outisde the caravans, we werent too keen on this as we have a mixed range of ages. I like to keep an eye on mine!
The site is over the fence from Rookin House which has a fantastic range of activities such as horse riding, clay pidgeon shooting, archery, quad bikes etc etc we took full advantage but be warned they are not cheep, they are however very friendly and there is a few things for youngesters to play on while the older ones are on activities if you want to stay and watch. I would recommend this site but not really for kids unless you have lots of activities booked away from the site.
